I've been waiting patiently to read about paddling and touring trips.
Really tired of this other subject that keeps popping up.
Let's hear about water sports...
I'm a canoest, and seakayaker...and want to read and talk about
that...isn't that why we signed up here? If not let me know, and I'll
unsubscribe and move on...

Let's give it a go..eh?

OK. I take it your post containing nothing about paddling is exactly the
type of thing you complain about, right?

Threats like "behave more like I want you to or I will leave" are seldom a
good way to motivate people.

The best thing to do is simply start. Introduce a new thread and see where
it goes. It isn't the responsibility of the rest of the world to provide the
type of discussion you are looking for.

That being said, the dang water is still frozen here, so aside from telling
you about getting my gear organized, there isn't much to say for another
couple of weeks

Shall I say, "You first." or "Bub bye now." ?

Instead of whining and threatening to deprive us of your, possibly
otherwise nice, company, why don't you tell us what and where you
paddle and what's good or bad about it?

All I paddle are a canoe (rental the last couple of years since I gave
away my stipper) and a recreational Old Town Otter kayak and (when I
lose 5 more pounds?) an old Perception Dancer that I use like a
recreational kayak.

I do them on lakes and the St. Croix River in MN/WI. Like them all,
Lke the places except that too many other people in canoes like the
'Croix on warm weekends. But the backwaters remove most of the
aluminum hatch from sight and sound.

Excellent sig!

I too speak to squirrels. Minnows do not worship me, however.

I once caught a speckled trout that was so cute it put my off fishing.
Apparently there are gar pike in the area where I've recently moved and that
has me a bit excited about fish again.

Like most people I am almost entirely harmless until there comes a time when
I am not.

C'mon KMAN, you're supposed to take this seriously. I REALLY am going to
bolt my contraption together. That is, is the rain holds off, because I have
to lay it out on the picnic table to do so (and I don't want to get wet).

I think I'll also work on some biking trip reports (website). Which reminds
me, a number of the links to pictures on your website are dead-ends. Did you
know that?
