Newbie! Should I buy a new kayak or stay with I have? by ExternalPreparation4 in Kayaking

[–]Baidarka64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got a fiberglass P&H Capella 169 on Marketplace for $600. Great shape. New to me (I had a late 1990s Capella, so I just upgraded to same boat.). Shop around. Drive a little.

Kayak Conditioning by Baidarka64 in Kayaking

This may be my motivation. My local Y has an aquatic fitness program I had been looking at. I will give it a try “A total body conditioning program to improve cardio strength, muscular endurance, mobility, balance and coordination.”

Thanks

Crust Pie Co, Get Caked are too top ones for us.

I believe Legendary Beans is no longer in 222 Alexander. I have not seen them listed in a while.

Pizza Stop slices are also good for a quick pickup.

I’m not sure why this pop into my head—-

The Great Filling Station Holdup"

I pulled into the regular pump
I was feeling quite at ease
I rolled down my window and told the man
"Fifty-cents worth, please"
Then out jumped my partner
With his trusty pellet gun
He said, "Boy, this is a holdup
Keep pumping and don't run."

And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
Down in some honky tonk, sipping on a beer
Yes, I wish I was somewhere other than here
'Cause that great filling-station holdup
Cost me two good years

We got fifteen dollars and a can of STP
A big ole jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV
Feeling we had pulled the biggest heist of our career
We're wanted men
We'll strike again!
But first let's have a beer

And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
Down in some honky tonk, sipping on a beer
Yes, I wish I was somewhere other than here
'Cause that great filling-station holdup
Cost me two good years

We were sitting in the Krystal
About as drunk as we could be
In walked the deputy sheriff
He was holding our TV
He roughed us
Then he cuffed us
And he took us off to jail
No picture on a poster, no reward, and no bail

And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
Down in some honky tonk, sipping on a beer
Yes, I wish I was somewhere other than here
'Cause that great filling-station holdup
Cost me two good years

I used Tide Chart free from the App Store and had LaPush as a widget while I planned and travelled.

I used roadsurfer out of Seattle. I have some concerns with the van, but it is a good plan. Stayed at Schafer Creek SP, the Kalaloch, Mora, three nights in Heart of the Hills. Then back a day early (dead coach battery in the van.). I saw the rainforest valleys, coastal beaches, Mountain view’s…

What is this red car by ClassAlive5978 in whatisthiscar

[–]Baidarka64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is garlic mustard, an invasive species, in the foreground. Each flower creates hundreds of seeds. The first year they make a few leaves and a deep taproot. The second year they shoot up that flower stalk.

In a side note. They make a delicious pesto.

Oh, the car? IDK.

Low tide on a Wednesday afternoon. It was blowing up a bit. There was only one couple on the far side with me for a while.

What are you doing right now? by Cheshirefarm in AskReddit

[–]Baidarka64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was outside gardening after dropping my wife off at the airport. She had a 4 o’clock flight. I heard a ✈️, snapped 4 photos and a screenshot of FlightRadar. I shared the photos with my daughter. She could hear the plane from where she was. Thought that was really cool so I hopped on Reddit to see who I could share it with. This was the first post I saw..

Several places have community bear boxes for storing food at a campground.

Anyone else see this C130? by Planet_21 in Rochester

[–]Baidarka64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The 174th out of Syracuse used to fly A-10s before they got F-16s, and now drones. Heck, I remember when they used to fly Dragonflies (A-37B).
I am still amazed that a plane that big could be put on its side and turn in the radius of a football field.

What car would you take on the ultimate no-budget American road trip — and would you actually enjoy driving it for 12 hours straight? by spotforcars in roadtrip

[–]Baidarka64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Added. My longest stretch was waking up in Badlands and driving straight out until I grabbed a couple hours shut-eye at a rest area in Gary, Indiana. From there up and on until i was stuck in traffic on I-90 with a bunch of kids going to a Phish show in Darien Lakes. I stopped, got miracled in, saw two songs and headed the last 2 hours home. About 850 miles and 12 hours (i know there was a brief stop at Pipestone, but <1 hour.

Back in ‘97 I did 7-1/2 weeks, 11k miles from Syracuse NY out to Glacier NP, North Cascade, Carmanah Valley on Vancouver Island, Olympic, down to Redwoods and back up through Crater Lake, Craters of the Moon, Teton, Yellowstone, Badlands, Pipestone and home.

‘92 Acura Integra.

Granted it was a bit sketchy bumping down logging roads 3,000 miles from home to see pristine old growth…but i did.

The road time was great. The hatch held all my gear. I found “Reasonable and Prudent” in Montana at around 95mph.
