Reality break and status update

No dancing in this post (well, there may be after fact.  We’ll see.)

It’s winter, its not coming, ITS HERE. Kayaking has been ‘Meh!’ For 2 months.  Mostly equipment updates, dryland exercise and dreaming.  I have a 19′ stripbuilt kayak in the works, kinda sorta, as I’ve been holding back some.  Mostly due to fact that my work area is colder than a witches teat in November and glues don’t like working below 45°f.    And there is the whole ‘winter slow down’ with work so Lucre is spotty, and the fiberglass and epoxies I need are just the other side of “OUCH!” In costs. 

Besides, its not like I don’t already own 6 kayaks.  Like my dad keeps saying,” ya can only paddle one at a time”.  Yeah,,,,

So, another winter activity, also Kayak related: Roll Class.  B n I are scheduled for a roll class Sunday the 24th.  Assuming the new asshat in charge doesn’t shut down interstate travel, its on.  Sadly, the nearest class we could find that was still operating under ‘Rona!!’ Is in Ohio.  3 hour drive one way for a three hour class in an indoor pool.  Absolutely flippin worth it IMO, even if its a “bit fur’way”.  If Gropey doesn’t shut down all traffic in the US, I will have camera on hand and have B manning the phone cam, and maybe, just maybe. I will finally be able to show y’all success at one of my goals.  And if so, you can bet I’ll be doin’the happy dance that day.  (And being a terrible bore for all my kayaky friends as I practice it anytime there is water under my keel.)
