So i went paddling last thursday, and set off hitchhiking up the road, and walked every freakin step to the put in. first time ive had to walk all the way. saturday i got a ride from the take out and didnt have to walk a step on the road, so i guess it evens out, but i mean shit, walking the whole way with a boat on your shoulder,in a wetsuit,in the desert sucks. on the other hand,i think paddling season is just about here. the water is rising, turning brown, and logs are starting to float down. the wave is getting big, and the river is begining to take shape. weather has been great, so im figuring on snow here prolly tommarow. but ive been rockin trunks and t shirts with flip flops, and everyone looks at me like im lost. but whatever, its the desert, its all good.

headed up to durango this weekend. thinking of trying to hit the whitewater park in farmington. river is comming up, foot is getting better, weather is getting nice, its time to get wet. bring on the margaritas too!

so what the f is going on with the weather in this crazy state out here in the desert? the wind, oh man the freaking wind. it is always windy here...last night, i opened up the door to get some firewood, and damn near got blown back inside the house. then this morning, i awoke to snow, and wind, and it changed to hail, then rain, then snow, then sunshine, then snow, then clouds, then hail...all day long. just back and forth. the foot is still in the cast, and the anxiety of not being mobile is taking its toll. happy easter!

ok, so the foot is still in the cast, and im begining to think it could be set wrong. we will deal with that problem as it arises. it figures that the weather is finnally nice now that i am virtually laid up. water is low anyway, but it would still be nice to get wet. everything else in the great state of new mexico is solid though, and I am enjoying life here in santa fe. the margaritas arnt bad either.

I paddled thursday morning. Good day on the river. a bit cold, I was only guy out, but was still fun. that afternoon I messed up my ankle and it swelled up to the size of a softball, now i have a half cast and doc says im on crutches for acouple weeks. we'll see how long that lasts though. ill keep you posted.
