Mine don't paddle yet. I figure the longer I can keep them oblivious to the sport, the longer I can spend $$$ on gear for myself.

Rack System

I bought these thinking I could attach them to my home made truck rack (a bunch of 2x4's screwed together). Unfortunately, it isn't going to work without a lot of retrofitting. Essentially, these have a clamping system that will clamp on to most square or rounded rack crossbars (just not a 2x4). I p...

I am most likely not going to be able to make this one. We are doing a major upgrade at work this weekend. Originally, we were only working fri into sat. Now, it is likely to carry over into sunday. At a minimum, I'll be going about 36 hours without sleep. If things change, I'll be there.

Quick-witted with a great sense of humor. Don't let his mild-mannered facade fool you. If you aren't paying close attention, you'll be missing the zingers.

MacFarlane Homestead Purchase

I don't know the particulars, but it appears that there is a vote on the table in Kingston to purchase the MacFarlane Homestead for a preservation project. This land is along the Jones River and there is mention of providing a kayak launch.

Adam,

I have a firm time constraint in that I need to be back in Marshfield by 5:00pm. Don't tailor the trip around me, but if it is reasonable to assume that I would be home on-time, then I can make it.
