well we every we used to when i was younger we used to go every weekend but we hadn't done much a lot whole lot of it lately
yeah
all right
yeah i'm kind of into it i'm uh kind of a sailor i'm up in Minneapolis now but i was in Florida so uh yeah i was kind of getting to it for a while there
yeah
were you sailboating
yeah for the most part yeah i had a little sailboat
yeah well we don't get do a whole lot of that up here
no
just motorboat's all we
what part of Texas you from
uh Nacogdoches
okay whereabouts is that
that's between Houston and Dallas
okay all right
it's the oldest town in Texas yeah we have uh Lake Sam Rayburn out here and Lake Nacogdoches so we do a lot of boating on
is that right wow that's pretty wild
okay so you got some lakes around you can do that on so you do some skiing and stuff or
yeah
yeah a little bit just got through snow skiing yeah just came back from Denver but
yeah all right
yeah all right
yeah that sounds good yeah we've uh part of the snow up here is really kind of starting to melt now
yeah it's it it was it was heavy when we were there though i didn't see any boats there though
yeah
not not not too many no but uh no i just got back from a weekend where we went and uh had a kind of a picnic in the woods type thing it was pretty nice but uh
no i i have uh i had a boat last summer that i took out a catamaran that i do did a lot of sailing on and stuff that's a lot of fun but uh my parents are pretty big sailors too they're kind of into it but
yeah
uh all we all we have up here mostly bass boats
oh yeah i guess it's pretty uh fishing's a pretty big thing huh
um-hum lot of lot of fishing going on up here
yeah
yeah all right so where about in Texas is that is that centrally located or
it's uh well you ever heard of Lufkin
uh no what what major city is nearby
Houston
okay and that's south or north of there or something
let me see Houston's north
yeah okay
Dallas is south
oh okay all right well that sounds pretty good does uh i guess the weather does that stay pretty constant there or
it's it's gets cold at night and then warm in the afternoons probably seventies eighties in the afternoon
yeah
okay well that's pretty temperate yeah that's not too bad but uh yeah have you done uh any other boating then or
no i hadn't done any in a lately uh lately but that's all i used to have uh have a friend that owned his daddy owned a boat shop and we used to when i was in high school we used to go out
yeah
go boating everyday just about
oh that's great yeah i
and we had a new different boat everyday
oh that's fantastic yeah i used to uh kind of be that way myself when i lived in in northwestern Florida in the panhandle i used to sail about everyday i'd work go to work
i'd like to do some sailing
yeah it's a lot of fun it's uh especially if you get a a pretty fast boat like those catamarans are pretty fast you can actually
yeah what do you if you get one like that they have somebody teach you there or they just
well actually i i've known how to sail pretty much my whole life um my my family's pretty into it and uh i took sailing lessons when i was about six and then uh
yeah
is it pretty easy
yeah it's it's kind of a thing where you get the hang of it after a while you know um just kind of get a feel for the wind and how it works and and the physics behind it
yeah
so it's it's not too bad it's pretty easy to get the hang of i think and uh generally everybody i've i've known has kind of gotten into it but some people are more motorboaters you know which is fun
yeah that well that's about all we have
yeah yeah a lot of people don't don't see the excitement in sailing but then again they may ne'er may they may never have tried anything like uh catamaran
um-hum
and uh that's when you really start getting into speed you know you can actually some catamarans can actually pull people behind the skiers they get so fast you know
i didn't know that
yeah they get pretty quick but uh
that that'd be something
yeah yeah i haven't i haven't personally done that but um the races i i work with a guy right now that uh races catamarans in the summertime
um-hum
and uh he's pretty gassed about it he's got a good uh
what kind of what lake do y'all use
well he uh he's from Detroit so he usually goes on one of the Great Lakes i think and does his sailing um for me i i go back to Orlando uh in about a month
um-hum
and so down there basically just go to the coast we're about thirty miles from Coco Beach and the East Coast and there's a lot of places there you can go you know
ooh
so uh so that's a good thing
yeah
but yeah so what do you do for a job
uh well i build transformers
oh really okay is that for TI or
yeah
no it's for Cooper Industries
okay

yeah
okay well that
well they have a you know worldwide but
right
well well all we do here is make transformers electronics and stuff like that
oh okay
great yeah how do you like it down there in Texas
it's real nice living here all my life
yeah
oh no doubt okay i've never been to Texas i've been to Oklahoma but uh that's about as far
yep
oh it's no Oklahoma's nothing like it
yeah okay well that's good because i didn't like Oklahoma that well
