Paddlefest Goes GREEN

We're working hard to make this year's Paddlefest as GREEN as possible.
Check out the steps we are taking to GO GREEN. We'll have more updates
about these initiatives to be more environmentally responsible in future
updates.

How's about a better address. Great ad for locals, but us out of
towners you are targeting here might get a little confused. I read
Coney Island, OK, New York, then Ohio River, and if falls apart from
there.. What town? Is there a real street address or body of water we
can look up on Google?? Thanks, Scotty- Hide quoted text -

I have no freaking idea... possibly Cincinnati, Ohio, since it's
mentioned several times in the message and many, many times at the
cited website?

The way it's been raining here, I might be doing my own paddlefesting
in my own backyard.

Wife and I were planning a fun cruise on the Potomac. Yesterday the weather
was predicted to be nice. Now it's raining, with thunderstorms predicted
for the afternoon.

Oh well, I guess I'll prune some bushes.

Crap.

Hell, my wife called me and said that she had went to the nursery and
bought a "bush" to plant. Asked me to plant it when I got home from
softball. I got home, and it was a freakin' Japanese Maple that was
pretty much fully grown with a rootball the size of a small planet!
Digging in the Atlanta area isn't exactly a joyful experience!- Hide quoted text -

Oh gosh!

Pour about *20 gal of water in the spot and let it soak for a few hrs,
then it ought to make digging a lot easier.

So far in the last 48 hrs we've gotten about 5' of rain. Some places
locally have reported about 7.
Plenty soggy around here!- Hide quoted text -

It's a double edged sword! So much clay that you can't hardly stand up
without slipping if you get it too wet. When I put my pool in, I
rented a bobcat to dig the hole, about one hour after they delivered
it, it started raining making the ground slicker than snot! Being
rented, I couldn't stop, so I just slid around and made a hell of a
mess, the guy that came to pick the bobcat up even remarked about the
caked on mud!

Yeah, but aren't Bobcats a kick-ass machine to play with!
