Goatgurl, my canoe is only 11' 9". And, it only weighs about 40 lbs. It's a solo canoe. I think they've change how they're made a bit. This is a newer model of what I have.
http://www.oldtowncanoe.com/canoes/recreation/discovery_119/ I thought about getting a kayak instead, but I've found the canoe to be more versatile. Plus, when I finally get my dog, she'll be coming w/me. And, it's much easier to put a dog in a canoe than in a solo kayak!
Creativetwinszoo, still no T storms. I hope they're not bad, but we really need the rain.
I'm beat! I woke up this morning at 3:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. Hubby left late for work today, so I wasn't able to do anything until he did. I was going to wash dishes this evening, but decided I'd wash some in the morning instead. It's a good thing I did. I had no other time.
When I got to the farm this morning and went to let my chickens out, I found my momma and all 3 babies in where the broody belongs and she was in their area trying to get out. So, I caught her, then kicked out the momma and her babies out. I had one piece of fencing that was the right width, but not long enough. So, I put that up B4 leaving to go canoeing. I closed the door into the broody area for just in case. When I got back, I cut some more fencing and finished filling in the gap. So hopefully the momma will leave her alone now.
Canoeing was good. And it's a good thing I went. We were looking for recent beaver activity. A couple of times, I pulled up to the bank and got out to look closer. I honestly don't think anyone else could have done it. They were in kayaks I was in my canoe. It's a bit easier to get in and out of. Found what could be fairly recent activity, so that's good. There's an evening canoeing next week, so some of us are going to stay out on the lake later to see if we see them.
Once I finally got home, I relaxed for a bit, then went out and worked on planting stuff. And I'm happy to report that all of the starts and flowers I had waiting to go in are in! I don't know that they'll do much, but at least I'm not looking at them every time I walk past them. It's supposed to rain overnight and into tomorrow. So, I'm glad I have them in.
I got done much later than planned. I had been going to do dishes. Instead, I think I'm going to go to bed!
