[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah yeah a little bit just got through snow skiing yeah just came back from Denver but
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah it's it it was it was heavy when we were there though I didn't see any boats there though
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah uh all we all we have up here mostly bass boats
[speaker001:] oh yeah I guess it's pretty uh fishing's a pretty big thing huh
[speaker002:] um-hum lot of lot of fishing going on up here
[speaker001:] yeah yeah all right so where about in Texas is that is that centrally located or
[speaker002:] it's uh well you ever heard of Lufkin
[speaker001:] uh no what what major city is nearby
[speaker002:] Houston
[speaker001:] okay and that's south or north of there or something
[speaker002:] let me see Houston's north
[speaker001:] yeah okay
[speaker002:] Dallas is south
[speaker001:] oh okay all right well that sounds pretty good does uh I guess the weather does that stay pretty constant there or
[speaker002:] it's it's gets cold at night and then warm in the afternoons probably seventies eighties in the afternoon
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] go boating everyday just about
[speaker001:] oh that's great yeah I
[speaker002:] and we had a new different boat everyday
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] I'd like to do some sailing
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah what do you if you get one like that they have somebody teach you there or they just
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah is it pretty easy
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah that well that's about all we have
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] I didn't know that
[speaker001:] yeah they get pretty quick but uh
[speaker002:] that that'd be something
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and uh he's pretty gassed about it he's got a good uh
[speaker002:] what kind of what lake do y'all use
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] ooh
[speaker001:] so uh so that's a good thing
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but yeah so what do you do for a job
[speaker002:] uh well I build transformers
[speaker001:] oh really okay is that for TI or
[speaker002:] yeah no it's for Cooper Industries

[speaker002:] well they have a you know worldwide but
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] well well all we do here is make transformers electronics and stuff like that
[speaker001:] oh okay great yeah how do you like it down there in Texas
[speaker002:] it's real nice living here all my life
[speaker001:] yeah oh no doubt okay I've never been to Texas I've been to Oklahoma but uh that's about as far
[speaker002:] yep oh it's no Oklahoma's nothing like it
[speaker001:] yeah okay well that's good because I didn't like Oklahoma that well
