#255

When Lenin was little
All the birds in the forest were singin’ “Man, this is it!”
But now that he’s older
All the sailors in the heaver are screamin’ “Abandon Ship!”

It’s Fiday and if all goes well my postman will be irritating the dog by driving right up to the house to deliver a long white cardboard tube. Cool. In that tube should be #255, a black storm made for me by Don Beale, who is happy to supplement my lack of wood-working skills in exchance for a small amount of currancy. It’s a trade in which the person getting the paddle also get’s the better part of the deal. So I’d better just strap up the kayak now!
In the continuing saga of the White Actua’s refit I spent a good amount of time yesterday slicing and dicing foam for the seat, hip pads & under the deck. Then I put all the rough puzzle peices aside to look at again today. Since I was slicing and dicing with a screaming migrane (better than doing nothing) I’m a bit fearful that I may find a small mini-cell statue of Lenin in the basement instead of knee braces!
Good luck to the guys down at Sea Kayak Georgia who will today be having their second day of BCU 4* training with the plan to assess tomarrow. You know I’m crossing my toes for you!
Couple nice suprises coming along next week. . . stay tuned!

Very cool pic!
Hey Andrew,
thanks. Yeah, it was sort of a toss-off until you put it upside down.
Btw, I’ve never seen baidarkas around here. I saw a couple out east but that’s about it it.
oh, man, half the folks from Pier 63 are down in Tybee. They must be having so much fun. I sometimes think it would be fun to go do 4* training again just for fun…hoping of course that I haven’t regressed enough to make them demand that I give my patch back!
oooooh I just got to go see Renata off..she is so cool…oh how I wanted to jump in my boat and go paddle with her for a couple of days!
Oh great! Make us wait until next week for the surprise goodies. How much patience do you think we’ve got, anyway? Or is that ‘patients’? One of those words got injured, didn’t they, for keeping secrets, wasn’t it? And it better not have anything to do with uNOwho… LOL
Whoknowswho? hmmmm, we’ll see. may not be a who but a what. .
