So Theral bought a kayak. That is a long story. He bought it from a guy in Grand Junction. He was going to go kayak ‘Straight Canyon’ which is the canyon up the road from were I grew up at. He couldn’t drop it off at my parent’s house because my parents were not going to be home (There was a primary election last Tuesday, who knew!). So we moved on to plan B. Theral and I decided to go and float the San Rafael River this past weekend. It was great. Theral wanted to go pick up the kayak in Grand Junction Friday night so he could use it on Saturday. That didn’t happen. We pick up the IK’s (inflatable kayaks) from Rick and ended up visiting for a while. So we decided to leave at 5:00 am to head down instead of 12:00 am. Theral didn’t have his phone on him and poor Steve (that’s the guy Theral bought it from) left a really funny message asking what was going on. Have no fear, Steve was has heading to Ogden on Sunday to go and float the Middle Fork of the Salmon. So Sunday, he met him in Wellington and pick up his new water toy. My Dad and Theral brother bother thought it looked a little small, which it is not because the newer kayaks are shorter. So Theral took it to the pool last night to work on his roll and it was bad. The kayak was set up for Steve not Theral’s body. So when Theral got home he started working on getting the kayak set up for him. So I will post more about how this new adventure is working out.

Theral is headed back for his family reunion in Illinois. I’m a little bit concerned about it due to the flooding that has been happening. I need to call and talk to a few people to figure out what are the conditions. If it is at all questionable we will have a talk.

So we had a nice visit with my parents this past weekend. There was some great one liner’s from my Mom and Dad that made the trip all worth while in my book.
“Quit micro-managing his dumps.”
“I associated a docking station with Star Trek.”
“I’m not going to visit you in Logan because you haven’t used the (computer) stuff that I sent you.”
“We can pull the trailer to Green River for that.”
“They are having trouble. I know they are having trouble.” We did because the four-wheeler we used for the shuttle battery died and it took an hour to charge the battery to load it.

Classic Theral and Lizzette, we thought we had floated further then we had and took a few long stops at the wrong location looking for pictographs panels. When it hit 7:30 it was time to bust it out to get done. We had five to six miles to go and we totally were done in an hour and ten minutes. The float was really pretty. I should have taken more pictures but it was in a dry bag and not really easy accesses.

I use an internet alias for things that I don’t want people to have my name for. Yesterday in the mail I got return address labels with that name on it from some wildlife fund group. Classic. I’m going to use them because the address is correct and I think that mail will get returned to me. Mail is coming to me with that name why can’t it get returned to me with that name. I got two things from triple A the other week, one for my name and the other for the internet alias. I’m going to post how the return address label looks. It is classic. Yet to use a better phrase, LENGENDARY.
