Fishing on the Tweener
Sunday, February 21, 2010
Tweener is the name of our old 20 foot Procraft pontoon boat. Here I am fishing at Lake Pleasant in Arizona. A little weather was coming in and the lake got very choppy. Hard winds started blowing cold rain at me and I had to seek shelter in a cove. I didn’t catch anything, but my wife drove out to the lake later and we spent the night on the boat.
Portable Generator

I have been looking at portable generators from Honda and Yamaha for my pontoon boat. They are useful for running portable air conditioners and helping put a charge back on depleted batteries.
Alpine CDA-105 CD Receiver with iPod Controller
Sunday, January 24, 2010
The Alpine CDA-105 CD receiver with iPod controller. I just purchased one of these bad boys from Crutchfield electronics. I am going to replace the Kenwood CD player that is currently on my boat with this one. It is nice because the Kenwood is just a CD player.. out at the lake stereo reception sucks so I am limited to the music on CDs. Yes, the Kenwood on my boat right now plays mp3 CDs, but that isn’t good enough. I need an iPod controller so that I can access my iPod Classic 160GB, which has thousands of songs on it.
