The Day of Nada

Well, not exacttly NADA,,, I did some running that needed doing, did the weedeating thing around the stead in preparation for mowing (lots of little areas the mower can’t get, like around guywire points for the windgenerator tower.) installed my wallheater that came in a day early, and consoled myself with ‘we can get out tomorrow’.

I NEED to get out, the bells weren’t ringing for it today, and I probably should have commited to discipline, not feely brain,,,,

then again, it was busier than usual on the water (seadoos at 8am? WTF?,,,) and I was feeling tired before I even started,, lack of sleep will do that to ya. I have that ‘excuse’ and there is always danger when you are in a little dinky boat on water with fast movers, and SOLO to boot. Being tired might have lead to some bad decisions on my part and we all know how those escalate quickly. Something like misjudging a distance in a crossing as well as misjudging oncoming boat speeds,,, Only takes one negligent moment,,,

What I need when I get out is MILES of paddling, speed not as important as distance. I need to build my endurance up or a 13 mile race is going to totally kick my ass. Lyssa has speed enough, the weak link is the same as it always is: ME.

So, tonight, I bust out the erg, do 30 minutes instead of 20, and plan on tomorrow, local lake, full lap (7 miles) maybe even two laps,,, kinda hope it rains too,,, drive all the riff-raff off the ramp and keep me cool at the same time. And paddling in rain is so relaxing,,, So long as mamanature isn’t tossing her fireworks around. Hell, I would rather paddle in rain than drive in it.

I guess this is the price I pay for having an ecclectic hobby that doesn’t fit the social scenes here-bouts, huh? Very few landlocked seakayakers and those of us that do exist here are very spread out.

Shift in subject matter: Reading through things on the net, seems there is quite a bit of murmuring going on about JB (spit!) and how the DNC may be attempting to get rid of him in some way. I would say that Kamalala-ding-dong is holding them back for the moment, since the dementia patient is actually the better choice between those two,,, Dunno, will see. Things are krazzeee, and going to get much krazzier before it peters out. or should that be ‘fizzles out’? My only concern is going out with a bang, and that is also a possibility with current pushes and stoopid Poly-tickian tricks (F16s in the Kraine,,, bad juju peeps, may wanna rethink that shit) Yeah, Vlad still has the majority of his marbles, unlike our Leadershits,,, That much should be obvious to even the blind (maybe not the willfully blind, but I digress.)

More laters, gonna crash at my usual time and hope that I carry through to normal waking hours, unlike htis morning. Still don’t know why, but I was clearly not going back to sleep this morning.
