[Paddlewise] Heeeere We Go! [Jaunita Bay NE of Seattle]

        I GIVE UP!

                It's been lessee, about 7 months since I had an argument with
G_d-and HE WON placing me in my Pursuit for the time I was in coma.  I just
took a saw to my larger hand truck, cut off the horizontal platform leaving
space for adding some padding left over from my mods to the yak.

        I live in Kirkland [for now] about a mile or so east of Jaunita Bay on
Lake Washington [NE of Seattle].  There has been no word from Sec of State
about my test [yesss... the doctor okayed me driving as long as I pass the
drivers test] and I cannot find the paperwork to get a copy of my title for my
truck from Michigan.  PPPTOOOEY!  I'm tired of waiting and the anti-deps I'm on
seeem to finally be working soooo-either Saturday or Sunday [rain sched for
tormorrow the w.channel says] I'll pack up my stuff, latch down the kayak, and
tow by hand [and foot] my jury-rig to the water.

        I'll try to rememeber some of the advice I've [gratefully] received
concerning what to do with "gawkers".  My largest concern is that huge hill [I
was born in MI-We got LOTS of hills like that here <g>] I'll have to climb
going both directions-hmmm Sunday's looking better and better <g>.  I got a
Yakima Yak cable lock I'll use to keep a hold on this newer-larger "trailer"
while I'm in the water.  

        Thank you all for your support and uh, Wish me luck! <G>

                Tom in Kirkland,Wa.
