Spring Fever

I go through phases every year.  The spring phase is the paddling phase.  I go from hunting at every opportunity and reading hunting articles, dog articles, gun articles... to obsessing on paddling.  I have reread every copy of canoe and kayak I have, every Boundary Waters Journal, every paddling book, and read every website I can find.

Last year, I bought whitewater kayaks for Allison and myself and we spent the summer messing  with them.  This year I have been bitten by the canoe bug.  I need a whitewater canoe.  There, I said it.  I need one.  I will sell the yak and a rifle, and I am going to have one.  I need this canoe so I can play on 3 rapids.  That's it and my life will not be complete till I have done this.

And another thing, I want a car with rain gutters on it!  I am talking old school.  I want a little piece of crap 5 speed 4 cyl that has rain gutters.  I want to cover it in stupid stickers, and I want it to smell like wet dog and river.  I promise I will never take all the wet things out so that it will take on the lovely aroma.  I want it to have manual everything.  It would be best if it had a cracked rear window as well.

Pointless Blog

There is really no point to this blog.  I am not that interesting, and anyone who cares to know about me is on facebook.  However, I decided to make this bad boy to experiment with the concept.  I am thinking about having students in future classes keep blogs, so I had better know how to do it myself.  I have 2 websites through weebly that deal with my classes; this is a more personal blog.
