Windy Day Video (with Guitar)



OK, So I'm on a posting roll again. I post too much and don't visit everyone enough though. I'll try to do better. I know some of you don't have DSL or Cable Internet so it may take a while to load the videos. Sorry about that. It was so warm today here in lower NY State. We usually would have a foot of snow on the ground by now. We haven't even had flurries yet and today it was 70 degrees. I'll admit, it was great but I would not mind some snow. Today was so windy on the lake. There were many whitecaps and whenever I paused paddling to film or take a snapshot, I lost a lot of ground and the kayak was turned sideways. I actually went out with the intention of salvaging a rowing skull that I've seen sunken in the lake. The only problem is that the friggin thing is about 22-24 feet long and it's also water logged. There was no way I could have towed it using the kayak. So much for that idea...
I hope everyone's 2007 is off to a great start, mine is...

  • Happy to hear your 2007 is off to a great start!

    I left a very short comment at your friend Nina's blog yesterday -- but like you mention about trouble visiting others blogs, sometimes it's difficult to have anything to say off one's own blog...

    Wish I had a faster connection to view your videos (but you already know that)!

  • Dude, I could so beat you in a Kayak race. Did you know that I was a white water canoeist when I was in high school? I can read a river like a NY Times book reviewer can read a book.

    Well, back to "my" homework. My daughter has a revolutionary war journal entry due, and she decided to write about Benedict Arnold.

    I think he had a persection complex.

    Teachers should never assign big projects over christmas break.
    What assholes. I refuse to let my kids do homework over holidays.

  • Thanks Wildside, sometimes it does get hard to think of things to say.

    Hi Paula, I would so smoke you in a kayak race...
    What a meanie teacher :-(

  • Omigod, and I thought it was warm here!

    Except, now it's not. And there is a wee bit of snow on the ground.

    YEA!

  • Dogga, it is very unusual to have it this warm. This is the first time since they've been keeping records that we have not had snow yet this season.

    Paula, I was also playing the guitar while I was kayaking.
    ~sort of...

    Hi Sarah, it was incredibly warm here. It broke the old record of 63 degrees
