I have been in and out a lot

Kris · April 08, 2018, 06:23:51 AM

I really have been around but other things have needed my attention. I have spent two days working on my computers and updating to Windows 7. Yes, I have been running XP here for a long time. As some of you know I am a ham radio operator and have been working on my radio room and replacing my trusty old computer in there. A ofk will continue but I am still here.
My first Club tournament of the year was cancelled so I still have not been fishing. All of the older Members decided it was too cold, wet and windy for us to go out. I can't blame anyone. If my boat had been ready I still would not have gone out. There is always next Month.
Ultimate Bass' iBass on-line tournament is in full swing. I'm not on the board yet but our fellow MD Member, AC, is. Good going AC!
Kovaxination has been out and caught some fish. Good for you!
I figure some others have been out with good luck and bad. Share some pics when you get time cause we love fish and boat porn here here.
Don't forget to sign up for the iBass tournament here if you want.

Kris, what club are you in?

Trust me it's been a pain seeing the forecast on the days that I'm off as well. This spring is really taking its time.

Kris your right us old guys with old bodies can't take the cold like we use to.

I'm watch the weather report for our area and if they are right we will have 3 days in a row of 55* and if that hold up I'm going fishing and try to find some fish that are thawed out so I can get some fish on the board for the IBASS thing. How's your weather looking? Hope your going to be able to get out soon. I run Windows 7 on my laptop also. I like the older versions of windows.

Tidewater Bass. Five of the Members are originals from back in the day. We all were Members of other clubs, did tournaments and ran all over just to go fishing. Most of us have slowed down, got away from tidal fishing and find ourselves fishing the reservoirs. We're a paper club so we don't worry about weighing our catch, strictly length. Still fun.

Weatherguessers here say that by the end of the week we will be back to normal temps, the 50s. One of my Club Members asked me to go fishing with him in Lower Central PA this Saturday. I like his choice of lakes so I told him count me in.

Good for you and I hope y'all can get out and catch some fish. I have to carry a lawn chair with me since I can't stand for more than 15 minutes without my legs and back hurting but that what happens when you get older and are on the rebound from cancer treatments.

For some reason my computer keyboard stopped working.
I will probably try the old Country Club ponds and see if i can catch a couple to get on the iBass Board. There are a couple of good ones in a couple of them.
I have Windows 7 on a couple computers but most of my everyday units were still XP. I'm waiting on software to redo a couple more and one disc of Windows 10 for my newest laptop. It was originally Windows 7 and I did the Anytime Upgrade and it hasn't been right since. So, it will be a new Windows 10 install in its future.
I picked up two Dell Precision T-3400 units for a good price with everything in them but OS. They are 3 gig processors with 8 gigs of RAM and small hard drives, 160 gig. Planning on putting another hd in each of them in the near future. They are workstations originally but seem to be working fine. Dual monitors which is what I wanted for the radio room. Still loading necessary software for it but I probably can fit everything I use on it.
