Buy a Boat, Drink a Beer, Get Along
They say, “The two happiest days in a boat owner's life: the day you buy the boat, and the day you sell the boat.” :) But, I can tell ya that if I ever sell this boat it’ll be because I’m buying another. I get it though, boats are a never ending project. I challenged myself last year without hesitation to buy a boat, [...]

Instagram is changing……tomorrow.
Instagram is changing.....tomorrow. Yes, it's true. And to be honest, I kind of feel strange and stupid even talking about this...because this is VERY insignificant compared to "real" problems. This is very egotistical towards the platform of instagram and it's algorithm behavior. It's all about people seeing your specific content whether it's for personal or busi[...]
