Sunday Beauty XXV
Folks, I mentioned in my New Year’s article (see, Goodbye 2010. I’ll Miss Ye Not.) that I have made some decisions which are already having a significant effect on my life. One of the things I will be doing differently in 2011 is I will be getting away from the machines more, and get my derriere out to somewhere that greatly resembles this.. my Sunday Beauty #25.

I am going to put down my mouse and pick up rod and reel and cast for fish. Real fish. In real water.
If I can remember how. I am rather confident I can.

“Send me your email user name and password.. I won’t share it with anybody.” Kind of hard to believe there are still people out there naive and inexperienced enough to fall for this tired old ‘form’.. but there are.
• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.
