Oh man, the Wahoo is fun! My brain keeps telling me that I need [...]]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2012/05/14/wahoo-wahoo-wahoo/feed/ 1 http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2012/05/11/spin-spin-spin/ http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2012/05/11/spin-spin-spin/#comments Fri, 11 May 2012 15:30:07 +0000 derrick http://www.kayakquixotica.com/?p=9441 That squeaking sound you hear is not my bike. No, it’s the sound of the rusty gears in my mind contemplating having to replace it.  It isn’t that I don’t love my archaic old Trek 800 Antelope,  it’s just well… $200.00 I’ll need to spend on repairs is a good chunk toward something with, oh, shocks for one.

Well, I’ll get to that!   So anyway if you are one of the many Wisconsin paddlers who follows along here OR you are close enough, and like to go play at Wisconsin Dells Water Parks I have something [...]]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2012/05/09/pictures-of-plants-in-water/feed/ 0 http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2012/05/08/this-ikkatsu-project/ http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2012/05/08/this-ikkatsu-project/#comments Tue, 08 May 2012 14:11:09 +0000 derrick http://www.kayakquixotica.com/?p=9430 You’ve probably heard by now that debris from last year’s tragic Japanese earthquake & tsunami has begun to arrive along the coastline of North America.  It’s fair to say that a ghost ship and a Harley Davidson motorcycle were not on top of the expected debris list!

That's why I run. ]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2012/05/04/laugh-i-nearly-died/feed/ 2
