We had pretty close to a full house for Thanksgiving weekend. Fishing has seemed to pick it up a bit. Scott, Paul, Ray, and Esi went out on Friday and did much better than usual. They caught a variety of fish. Esi caught a really large sheepshead.
I went out this morning and tried my gold spoon and DOA in the marina and mitigation site. The DOA was what the trout wanted. They were hanging around the swim platform. I caught several, but only one was a keeper. It had been at least four years since I caught the last trout in the marina.
Jerry started work today on preparing to plant  palm trees along the entrance road as the owners voted for. The first one should go in the ground tomorrow.
We had all of our fire extinguishers inspected today. Four had to be replaced and three recharged. Four owners will not give us keys to their condos and we could not check those. I would not want to be one of those owners should a fire start in their condo and no extinguisher was available. We also cannot treat those condos for pest infestations. We recently found termite damage in a condo when it was being inspected for a sale. We had no key and that condo may not have been treated in a while.
Keith Burr was here today doing some repair work in 607.
The lock for the pier gate will be here on Wednesday. Jerry has a good plan on how he will install it.
It was also a big football weekend and I didn't miss a game with my new TWC  HD converter box. I understand several more owners will be getting one installed soon.  As it turns out the cost for 25 boxes will be four dollars more in total than the cost for all 62 boxes. I think we will see many more boxes installed when winter Texans start talking to each other about all the channels available to the guests whose owners have installed a box.
Kevin, from Rockport WiFi, will be here tomorrow to hardwire all the condos in the 300  building. Their service should be much better. Kevin says the use of WiFi has changed in the years since our system was installed. The demands for bandwidth have greatly increased. He will be able to access a fiber optic network in the next few days that will help our speed too. We will monitor the 300 building during the high traffic of the Christmas season. If all goes well, we will have him upgrade other buildings. It will mean that the 15 condo owners who have not purchased a router will have to have one to receive the hardwired CAT5 service.
