I can geezer with the best of them but gave up whitewater mostly because I
got tired of trying to find someone to drive the second car. My wife would
do it but then I'd have to pony up $3.50 a gallon for BOTH cars!!! And she
wouldn't want to paddle because she says she got tired of the terror.

While I'm not giving up my RPM for now, I know it's not likely I'll spend
anywhere near as much time on rivers as I was spending 3 years ago. I am
putting two other w/w boats up for sale though.

So I started sea kayaking again because my wife would go and we only needed
one car. But now my wife doesn't even seem to want to sea kayak so I got the
muthah-ship. This getting old is the pits.
