Went boating yesterday, out in Page County, Virginia. Likely the last
bit of boating for me until we're in Florida in February.

Cold as the dickens in the morning, only about 34F air temp when we got
to the river at 8:30am. Naturally, I got my feet wet when we launched.
Day warmed up to the high 40s', low 50s' for a while. We paddled around
for a few hours, then went back to the cabin, lit up the stove and
thawed out. It was too cold to even play at fishing.

Spent the afternoon shooting up a tree stump and launching empty drink
cans into low earth orbit with .22LR and .40S&Ws handguns and 12 and 20
gauge shotguns. I am never going to get used to 3-1/2 magnum loads.

Wouldn't that be called canoeing? grin. I do have to ask, what is the
thril in shooting cans, all that noise screwing up nature. You should
have gone out with your camera and shoot some beautiful nature photos.
