For anyone who cares, Callum, Doug and I went up to the Straits of Mackinac to kayak under the bridge during the bridge walk this weekend. We got a late start leaving Lansing and between stops and getting ready, it was nearly 8pm before we go on the water for… Continue reading →

Me: “I’m going kayaking with a bunch of girl scouts.” Al: “That sounds like a very bad inuendo.” Anyway – this evening I went to Lake Lansing to help some of our kayak instructors put on a class for girl scouts to get their kayaking merit badges. It started out… Continue reading →

Wednesday night I headed to Clarksville to pick up Josh’s boat. I left EL around 5:30. We got his boat, filled up with gas, came back through EL to drop off his car here then headed out. I think we were officially on the road at about 8:15. This was… Continue reading →

Alright, more of a trip report on our island venture…. We got up to Cross Village at about 1am – rather late for a four hour drive that was planned to start at 5pm, but that is apparently the way of things. We drove around scoping out the place for… Continue reading →

I’m back. Kayaking was fun. For the most part I was able to participate, although maybe in limited force. I took more of the fun / interesting classes rather than the classes for becoming a better bad ass. Last year I took as many of the strokes, bracing and rescue… Continue reading →

Back…

Kayaking has been good. Hand is holding up well (in my opinion, maybe not a doctor’s). I kick ass like none other. Mild headache from sun, but nothing I can’t deal with. Stuffy nose, because I failed to use nose plugs as intended. Thanks yo’s for waiting for me to… Continue reading →

This post brought to you from a field in the middle of no where. Have a good weekend all. I will be kayaking – you’re jealous, but you’ll just have to cope with it in your own ways. Thanks for waiting for me to see X3 – for those who… Continue reading →

“You will die at the hands of a jealous lover. How ironic.” – from an online ‘quiz’ thing – Interesting, but doubtful Doug has declared that I need a girlfriend after witnessing me pause on the PBS acid tripping art show. Shortly thereafter I agreed and also decided that getting… Continue reading →

Harpers charged cover. It was good, and still not to expensive, but I can’t say as I approve. I am damp. This is because we had to walk back to the Jeep in the rain. I bought gas this morning for $2.68, it cost $2.79 this weekend, and $2.89 later… Continue reading →
