AT OUR LIMIT! Whatta Fish Story!

Monday, May 6, 2013, was Rockfish day for us.

Seven people, Seven fish!

By regulation, this time of year all Rockfish must be over 28 inches with a limit of one per fisherman per day.

 All eyes on the fish.  Smile for the camera.

Captain Perry Davidson of Excalibur. 

One of the few good men that can clean fish and tell jokes at the same time.

Three measured 36 inches each and tipped the scale at approximately 17 lbs.

All caught fish measured over 30 inches.

After catching our limit and recovering the lines, two more Rockfish took the bait but, of course, were released. (They could have been yours.)

Despite the overcast weather, the attitude was sunny all morning.  We were back on the dock by 10:30.

Next year maybe you will join us. 

IS THERE ROOM FOR MORE EVENTS LIKE THIS ON OUR CALENDAR?

We didn't get the names of the fish.

However, Bubba is still out there.

See you at the dock,  Uncle George

Honeywell Introduces Wi-Fi Connected Thermostat For Do-It-Yourselfer

Honeywell recently introduced Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat, a connected thermostat that allows consumers to regulate their energy usage and home comfort from their smart phone and provide an opportunity for design-focused homeowners to customize it to match or accent their home décor.

Featuring a touch screen display, the Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat is equipped with mobile and email alerts that put homeowners in control by notifying them when their home is too hot or cold, the humidity level is too high or too low, when the filter needs to be changed, or if the home loses power or internet connectivity.

With Smart ResponseTM technology, the thermostat learns how long it takes to heat and cool a home to ensure it is always at the temperature homeowners want, at the time they want it. The Instant Away feature allows homeowners to balance comfort and energy savings: on your way out the door, simply tell the Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostat when you will be back and it can start saving energy instantly while you are gone.

The Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostat’s innovative design, 60 percent smaller than other connected thermostat models, is a first in the do-it-yourself market. For more information, read the press release
