So I am still not entirely sure why I did this, but the story kind of went like this:

I mentioned to my wife that I was thinking about paddling my new kayak around the fountain.  The weather was bad and the rivers were way up, but I really wanted to just put it in the water somewhere.

She thought it was a great idea for a boring rainy Sunday.

20 minutes later about 10 of our friends had assembled at the house to cheer me on, and at that point I really could not say no.



I am really excited about this boat and want to go out fishing this weekend. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?  I did not catch much at the park.
I would much rather be up a creek without a paddle than down one.

That's so awesome!   :D

There are all sorts of places you could go to get your yak in the water but the fish might not the easiest this time of year.  They may be a little bit of a drive but check out the trout stocking sites on the ODFW website.

DTS and some others may be heading up to Lost Lake, I think this Friday.  You might want to get in touch with DTS and see if you can meet up and fish with them.  8)

I thought a 12 oz pyramid would be enough to keep my rig down there...

That is awesome!  Unfortunately around here (Spokane) even the fountains are suffering from hard water.

I am hoping to figure out how to get this video software to work so I can put together some of the clips. 

I know its kind of a waste of time, but I have a bunch of ideas floating around my head for funny videos to make, and now that I have a playsport . . .

Anyone on here know how to use adobe premier?

Its been about 4-5 years ago but I messed a little around with adobe premier.  That program has some cool stuff. How did you get the program? Did it come with the playsport?
