and a merry zero dark to you too!

its flat dark out there too!

but, i’s Satyrday, the DIo is up’n’movin’ coffee is in round two, headed for round three, boats is loaded; just gotta throw on some pants (over the wetsuit, I get funny looks if I stop places just wearing neoprene.) and the lake is calling.

ring ring!!!

Sun will be rising by the time I get there, boat on water and gear loaded. Fog too. warm water cold air: fog is a given. gotta make sure I have my ‘rape your retinas’ hat on.

I have a couple of other things that are on the agenda today, but the paddle time: MUST. Even taking a lunch so I have no excuses for shortening the ‘trip’. Back is feeling good now that the new matress and I have reached consensus. That took a couple days: strange smell (new foam) STIFF as a board, which I like to some extent but took getting used to. Even Grizz didn’t want to sleep near me for the first couple of days: I guess the ‘new car’ smell was too much for kitteh schnoz. A full week of airing out, absorbing house smells, my sleeping on it (marking it as mine in kat speak) and he spent last night curled up by my shoulder in his usual spot (yeah, he sleeps with me all night,,, Watching for the demons of the night, protecting me (or the reverse, me ptrotecting him, dunno))

but the clock is ticking and I want to be out there as the REAL world is waking up, shuffling to the watering hole getting that morning drink, before the hooman world starts buzzing around ‘disturbing the peace’.

So more laters as I get to it, maybe pictures too,,,,
