You should get a boat.

I think we all have to do a little yard work now and then, although I

I try to keep that devil down in the hole as much as I can. ;-)

If this sun holds I am blowing off mowing the lawn for a 3d day of
boating in a row. The grass will still be there monday.



If I don't cut the lawn grass every four or five days during the season,
it becomes a real pain in the ass for my lawn tractor, and I cut the
grass high, too. As far as the hole digging for plantings goes, my wife
wants it done. End of discussion.

Too wet to mow today. Grass needs cutting too.

Oh well.

I have two and a half boats, including my half share in a canoe.



I have three now. My wife came home with a pair of kayaks yesterday.





I wouldn't mind having a kayak.

Every year since the old Magnum PI series, I've thought about buying a 'sit on kayak'. Then I come to my senses. I think sitting almost flat like that for any length of time might be tiresome.

The current fad here is a stand up paddle board.

I've seen videos of those boards and they are available at our local Costco.
I wonder how hard it would be to paddle in 1-2 foot waves?

This is a flat water sport. I suppose there may be some surfer dudes
who could paddle out through the pass with 4' standing waves but I
have seen newbees dumped by a tiny wake ... or just fall off for no
particular reason.



Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows 'em, pearly white...

When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows, they begin to spread

I wouldn't mind watching you trying to fit into one, that's for sure!

I have no problem getting into or out of a standard kayak, or righting
one that has tipped over with me in it.

I'm 6'1-1/2" tall and weigh 205 pounds. As far as I know, the only
person here who has seen me was Herring, and that was 10 years ago, when
I weighed about 255.

It's actually not too bad until you get arthritic!

What adult expresses their height in fractions of inches? When asked
your age, do you reply 65-1/2?
