TD-12KX

TD-12KX, originally uploaded by eaghra. Lately I could only describe the people that I work with as soul crushing. Regular status is constantly dangled in front of my face and then ripped away by the union or some other idiot. I was becoming quite depressed and unsure of what to do or how to move [...]

Leaving on a jet plane

Well the time has come. Heading to Chicago tomorrow, spending the night and then flying out at about 5am. I’m going to try my best to provide updates, but pictures might have to wait until I get back. The iPod and iPhone are great tools, but getting photos off of cameras is not one of [...]

5 x X

Well, I’m not actually bowling this year, but rather subbing for the guys in Stoughton, and tonight was night 1 of probably the next 4 since golf league is still going on for one member there.  Problem is, you see, these guys actually play to win on Thursdays as opposed to last year’s playing on [...]

Yahara video

I’m finding I should really plan more in making these videos, however it’s a bit difficult when I’m seeing everything for the first time myself and have no idea what is coming up. And hell if I’m going to run ahead and plant a camera to capture me going by. So I either miss some [...]

Vacation: End

Ok, so the week of fun is over.  Irish Fest was fun, Door County was sweet, Kettle Moraine South was awesome and the Yahara River expedition was a milestone.  What I didn’t accomplish was actually getting into Lake Michigan in my kayak or setting foot in the upper or lower dells.  I got too distracted [...]

Brutal

I’m wondering if I can actually live up to my vacation goals.  The past 2 days I have absolutely punished my body and I’m supposedly only getting started.  The paddling today was the longest I’ve ever done in my kayak as it took around 6 straight hours to get to Stoughton from Madison.  While I’m [...]

Vacation: Start

Vacation #2 begins now… assuming I’m not called in tomorrow, which I’m fairly certain I won’t.  However, things that will be accomplished in no particular order: Bike from Stoughton to Madison then kayak back to Stoughton through the 4 connecting lakes and Yahara River. Paddle the Dells. Paddle the Lake Michigan side of Door County [...]

On kayak size

So, after thinking about how my Kickapoo trip went, how other trips like it have went, and trying to find similar trips like it to explore in Wisconsin without being such a chore, I decided I should think about the offer that Rutabaga has about trading up.  Within two years of purchase, you can bring [...]

The Dark Imax

I was unable to go see The Dark Knight on opening weekend, so the following week I went to go see it at the local Imax. I get there about a half hour early before a 7pm show on a Thursday only to find out that it’s sold out. Fast forward 2 weeks and I [...]
