New Blog: Danny outdoors
I'm going to write about things I do in the nature: from camping to hunting and other outdoor activities.
Few facts: I'm a computer geek learning to get out more with my sons. Last year, we started body boarding at the beach. This year, we're more focused on fishing and hunting. One of the first post will be on bad product experiences for our pickup truck. Stay tuned....
