UV? On the drive to the put in? Give me a break.

For some trips, the put-in is days away. I know some folks who leave
their stuff on the roof of the car for days at a time in the driveway.

LOL. Reminds me of my mother worrying that our furniture will fade without
drapes. Some people just can't find enough things to worry about. It's
amazing how a recreation can become obsessive fussing.

Hmmm - Speaks of mother he does. What would Freud call it? The Oedipus
complex, that's it. No that's not it, Oedipus loved his mother, hated
his father. KMAN on the other hand ridicules his mother for her
apparent worship of material positions, and hence the transposed
aggression to anyone who shows the slightest propensity towards
eliminative materialism. But wait, wasn't that the outcome of what
Freud was talking about when he said "Every new arrival on this planet
is faced by the task of mastering the Oedipus complex; anyone who
fails to do so falls a victim to neurosis." (Sigmund Freud, Three
Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (1905) SE, Volume Seven (London:
Hogarth Press, 1953), p. 226.) And we all know to what else that
failure leads.



So much for the fun stuff, lighten up. If the OP wants to protect the
paddle from UV, road grim, rock chips or even bird sh_t what of it. If
you think it's foolish fine. Don't bother to contribute. BTW sunlight
will fade furniture, upholstery, carpet and anything else not suitably
protected, even little children left out in the sun too long by their
mothers, who were too busy obsessing over the furniture.

There is no special expertise required for that solution, therefore it is
invalid. But thank you for trying!

It nevertheless amazes me that someone would fuss over paddling equipment
left in the sun for a day or two! So it might fade to some indescernable
degree. Sheesh. Why get it wet! Something might develop a rust stain!

TOO RIGHT!!!

LOL. The way certain members of this group talk about paddling reminds me of
the old SNL skit with the Anal Retentive Chef. Remember that? Try to think
what rbp posters could take over the job of Gene. Here's how Gene disposes
of garbage:

(from http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/Humor/SNL/Anal.htm)

===

[Background: the anal retentive chef is preparing a steak with bell peppers,
but stops to remove one of the peppers because it is not the same size as
the others]

And how do we throw things out? Okay. We take our paper towel, two
pieces, unbroken, lay it out neatly, dump the refuse inside, arranged neatly
.... [assembles the garbage] ... let's take these little nasties we separated
earlier, put that back ... fold over carefully, making sure the corners are
square ... and ... we take a piece of aluminum foil, and we place our refuse
onto the foil, and fold over very carefully - this way, it won't leak onto
the other garbage. Aluminum foil is such a miracle product! It's really an
extraordinary product.

Alright, and then we take a brown, paper sandwich bag ... [opens bag]
....place the refuse inside ... [drops it in] ...and ... oh no, this bag is
torn.. [looks around] Well ... no, that's alright. We'll just fold over, and
no one will see. We'll fold it over twice to be careful ... then we get our
tape. [grabs tape, which is naturally covered in a cozy] And, we tape it
shut - be very careful to center the tape on the bag. I like to keep my tape
dispenser right here on the counter. There we go! [holds up bag] All ready
for the trash. Now that's some garbage you can live with! [laughs]

Alright, I noticed some of you were admiring my tape dispenser cozy. Isn't
that pretty? I made it myself, out of toothpicks, felt, plain old buckroom,
a couple of pearl buttons and some eyelets. Now, isn't that better than
looking at an old tape dispenser? I think so! Alright. Let's set this over
here. [places tape dispenser onto the counter next to the sink, behind him]

Okay, where were we?

Cheers,

Keenan

PS: If anyone would care to write an anal retentive paddler script (without
copying any of the actual writing from this protect paddles thread) I bet it
would be a riot!
