GPS HANDHELD


Hey, here's a chance to take advantage of the information gathered by the federal government. Anyone who likes to hit the water can get free downloads of the NOAA's RNCs. That's a lot of acronym, huh? The raster navigational charts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provide all of the navigational data one needs to be a safe mariner. The NOAA is always updating the charts, too. You can check out their site for the newest RNCs. Northeast Marine Electronics can help you put those charts to use, by the way. They specialize in all of the boating, fishing, camping and hiking gear anyone could ever need, inclusing some great GPS Handheld devices and Furuno Fish Finders.

Puggle Owner Investment Idea...

Puggles are expensive. They are so incredibly popular that many puggle owners have dropped well into four figure country to secure one of the ultra cute puppies! All you have to do is look at a picture of puggle to know why! They are spectacular little suckers.

My point, though, is that if you own a puggle you probably have a little disposable income. After all, the dog didn't come cheap. And I have just learned about something everyone who has a little money to invest should be aware of... It's why so many investors buy silver bullion.

Apparently, silver holds it value very well and actually increases in value during turbulent or uncertain economic and political times (like now, maybe?). Anyway, this has led a lot of investment advisors to recommend holding precious metals like silver bullion as part of an overall wealth building strategy.

Not a bad plan! And one of the outfits that can you effectuate the scheme is Monex. They have been helping investors with precious metals for neary forty years and have dealth with over 100,000 people who understood the value of holding precious metals.

So, if you have puggle money, you probably have investments. And a good one, based on what I have seen is silver and other precious metals.

Buy a Puggle with Car Insurance Savings? Why Not?

Puggle's ain't cheap, but car insruance can be. Cheap car insurance doesn't even require making a dozen phone calls to different outfits in order to find a deal. All it takes is hooking up with a site like carinsurance.com who can compare all of the different options out there for you, allowing you to save a load of money.

Speaking of car insurance, GEICO (one of the big boys in the industry) put out this handy report about ways to avoid getting your car stolen that everyone should find and read. It has a lot of good information about simple things you can do to decrease the risk of theft and even some advanced strategies I had never even thought of (like having your VIN etched in the glass of your windows). California is the car theft capital of the USA (if not the world), but everyone is at some level of risk and should take a look at some pointers to protect themselves.

Oh, and you might be able to save enough money on car insurance by comparison shopping to afford a new puggle if you don't have one already!

When Leaving Your Puggle Behind Can Get VERY tempting...

I am considering taking a vacation, and would love to go to Hawaii. I don't know if Hawaiians are all into puggles yet, like the rest of it, but I have always wanted to go there. I found this new website from this established group called Gebhart Properties that rents out top-drawer condos and vacation properties and my mouth is watering. I am seriously thinking about a Maui Condo and break!

They have a three-bedroom place that is over 2500 square feet at the Mahana at Kaanapali Resort that is completely tricked out to produce a great vacation. Everything from an ocean view to a complete gourmet kitchen is right there. The places features some great Hawaiian art, too. Three bathrooms and room for six. Wow.

They also have a 2 bedroom place in Old Lahaina that is within thirty feet of the beach. This second floor condo looks incredible. I doubt Gebhart would be too keen on anyone taking puggles into these vacation dream homes, but it might be worth leaving the little fella behind (at a great kennel or with a loving person) for a few weeks and taking a Hawaiian vacation.
