She is here
This afternoon I got my new canoe, well its not new, they haven't made them in a few years.
The pictures aren't really great but they were taken in garage lighting at night. You get the idea and I have only owned the canoe for a few hours.

Crazy Email Stories
This morning, in a conversation about archiving email Scott reminded me that a few years back I went through and deleted a ton of email. I found that I had a couple thousand from boss Bob with 'lunch' in the subject. Just goes to show how useful email is for planning what we are going to eat today.
Dagger Sojourn
It looks as though I will have a second canoe by the end of the week. I am getting a used Dagger Sojourn and I am really excited about it. I have been wanting a solo canoe for a while now. I will need to find room in the barn for a second canoe. I will also need to figure out how to get a second canoe on my car, I might need to get new bars….

Oh, the joys of the weekend
As usual it was a busy as all get out weekend. We got bashed in soccer on friday 9-1. The team was way better and more experienced then we were. Saturday I had lunch with my sister and Bridgit, then Bridgit and I went to see the CAPjr show that Bridgit did costumes for.
I can not wait for spring
It just hit me today. I had a conversation with someone at work today about spring and canoeing, and I got into a tizzy. This was only egged on when Dan called me at lunch with the news that an old friend called him with a stable of five canoes that he's trying to sell. Two of those canoes I want to buy (a solo boat for both Bridgit and I). All of that combined with an unusually high amount of coffee today and I am ready to bounce off wall and destroy things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of hits
Since I got engaged traffic to my site has doubled. Read more for a nifty graph….in color.<%image(20050316-stats.png|450|200|Look at my stats )%>
It is getting warmer….
Today it is supposed to get to almost 40 degrees. That means that its Chaco season once again.
Some backlog
Today we went canoeing with Anna. She is leaving tomorrow and moving to Washington. We replaced the wood on her canoe and today was it's first trip out.
