Kayak Fishing
Obviously I did not drown! That is a good start.
It was really fun. I had a bit more trouble getting the boat on top of the wife's (you did not think I was going to load a kayak on my G35X did you!??) Toyota RAV-4 was harder than I thought. I think I may have pulled my back out a little. I will just ignore it.
The boat was easy to use and very stable. The fish were in a biting mood and I caught some bluegills, a chain pickerel, and the biggest black crappie I have ever seen up here. 8 inches from nose to tail! I switched from shallow flats to deeper water old river channel fishing in the mill pond and I hit some really big largemouth bass. Two were easily over 4 pounds which is pretty good up here. No issue in getting them to the boat. All fish released unharmed, I even use pliers to push the barbs on the hooks down to help the fish.
I will be doing this much more.

How to Make a 46,000 Calorie Kit Kat Bar
I'd be on that like a rat on a cheeto!
Thanks Ran!
I know I missed this in the film "Back to the Future" and I think you may have too:
Twin Pines Mall becomes Lone Pine Mall! Awesome!
Fun with Pictures
Visual aids for your perusal.
Not quite the film "Vision Quest":
Nasty!
I should not have this one up considering I just started kayak fishing:
I only do freshwater, for obvious reasons.
Poor thing:
see more Lolcats and funny pictures
It will grow back little lion!
I feel the same way about the "Twilight" fanatics:

Yup.
Rock Blogging
Unleash the wave of sound!
Leading of is a request from my friend in Michigan, Fleetwood Mac and "Rhiannon":
You knew I would find a live performance.
Fitting in with the horrific graduation Cambridge traffic this week is Lurker's request for "Schools Out" by Alice Cooper:
Nice!
Gawains wanted some Rolling Stones and I had never heard "Shine a Light" and it is a really wonderful tune:
I like it.
The fall of Guns N' Roses was really a bad loss. The newer album Chinese Democracy was pretty bad. One song had some promise but missed by just a little bit. Best song from that album was "Better":
I think 60% of that song is great, but that other 40%....
A band that has very few (any?) bad songs is The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Try out "Californication" for example:
"The sun may rise in the east, at least, it settles in a final location"....NICE!
Two more, what to play, what to play.....
So I like Bryan Adams music, sue me! My favorite is "Run to You":
That one is really good.
Last call! Anyone with a back that still works can you please grab me a beer??? Please????????!???!?
The last time I played this song was last summer. In that post I offered a writing sample based on a Depeche Mode concert I attended. Feedback was good to not so good (thanks Illargi!) but I have indeed been writing a short to maybe long story based on something I drew (with colored pencils) out of thin air as a young kid. Not much more to add at this point, but say extreme emotions can imprint a "memory" whether it be electron spins, residual changes in substance molecular makeup, or just the latticework of the extreme feelings pouring out. Well, what if there was a "device" that could tune into this history? How useful would that be, say in solving crimes? Other applications? Enough teasing, I am working on it.
One of EconomicDisconnect's favorite songs, "Karma Police" by Radiohead:
Just beautiful.

Added by a reader, nice live performance of REM and "Losing My Religion":
Have a good night.
