Tarabull's New Baby

“Woo Hoo - I bought a kayak! OK.... so it's not exactly in the water yet... the lakes are still frozen here in MI. But, here it is, floating on my living room floor.



And, just in case my pic doesn't work, here's the link

my baby

I'm so excited... Can you tell???”

“oh, There it is!

I was going to ask... Does it float? <G>”

“Does it float? Gosh, I sure hope so!”

“yours is definitely bigger than mine!”

“I know didly about kayaks (like, what's that black frisbee thingy?), but it looks pretty cool.

Can you use it as gear sled in winter? ;o)”

“Pennsy - the black frisbee thingy...it's the beer cooler.”

“Good deal T-bucket!”

“It's so bluuuuuuuue... %^ )

I think you said something about a new kayak on another thread, so when I saw the 'new baby' title, I thought "does it float?"... <G>”

“Niiiiiice!”

“Tilt - you are correct... I mentioned my new kayak :-) on another thread. But, I just got to take it home today, so I'm just as exicted as the day I bought it.

Oh Happy Day!”

“I thought you were supposed to model a new boat in a bikini....lol. Just a thought.

Seriously, it looks relly cool. When is the "launching"? Do you have a trip planned yet?”

“Seeing she's in MI it will be August. There's two seasons in MI...August and Winter. LOL!”

“Okay, here goes..

Nice fore
Nice aft
Nice prow
(She's daft)
Let not the waters
Over your prow
Sink your new craft!

Enjoy!

Up the crik wif a new paddle...whoopee!”

“It doesn't look like there is much room for any of my little piglets in that thing. Will you still belch for me?”

“Dang! Meant to use 'bow' instead of 'prow' in one of those lines.

I'd admit to not being Longfellow, but that would only invite derisive comments by fellow TT'ers. Har! A pirates life fer me, ye scurvy curs!”

“Very cool Tara I so want one of those!

8)”

“Someone looks very happy.

You AND yer waterdog.”

“Very, very, very cool! :-)”

“Now you just have to buy a minivan.

:)”

“It's about time you popped that thing out! Just like a baby, you had to wait to bring her home! By the way, your living room looks pretty organized there...congrats on the kayak...you will have a great time this summer!”

“LOL wolfeyes. I conveniently left the couch out of the picture. My RRG gear is still a disorganized mess all over the couch!

Dare - Not sure, yet, when the first overnight trip will be. Soon, I hope. But, we (Sass, Birch and any other Mich folk that ends up w/ a kayak) to test 'em out on my brother's lake as soon as the ice melts.”

“Way Cool! Can you give me a ride on it someday?!?!”

“cool Tara. I want one so bad, but just can't right now. :(”

“Aye, matey! Nice vessel, will you or your doggy be the first to walk the plank? But blue is soo boring, didn't they have one in hot pink?”

“oooo, yuck Capn Bobo! Hot pink is UGLY!”

“Awesome! ;-)

Does it have a rudder or a skeg?

I heard Artex is a expert in that matter!”

“Dude, you can get a KEG in it?

Nice gunwhales there, honey!”

“Hey Adventurist, I think you meant to say udder's and kegs!!!

How is the seat? Durable enough? Your subsurface echo pings should resonant in that prudy nicely. Poor fisheys!!!”

“Congrats Tara - pretty soon it will change from Michigan Mountaineers to the Michigan Floatilla! Have fun!”

“oohhh, pretty! those diapers must be really freakin' huge, though.”

“Holy Moly... I hope they gave you major drugs before you dropped thing (an epidural even)!

Looks great. I is a wee bit jealous.”

“That looks like Class IV rug you're paddling through.”

“LMAO Briar! Hopefully she won't blow a hole through it.”

“oooooooooo tarabull that is really nice!! love it!!”

“very cool Tara, I'm jealous

LMAO, good one Sass”

“Tara, Sass and birch have taken it upon themselves to form the Marine division of the Michigan Mountaineers. Until I get a floatation device, I will countinue to perform the duties of logistical support, transportation to the PX, scouting and forward depolyment operations.”

“Great gear score!”

“Good, you guys can go sink those Iraqi subs that The Weekly World News says are patrolling Lake Michigan...”

“So now you're a captain like Bobo! Avast and awash matey! Swab the galley.”

“Life Is Good”

“CONGRAT's Tara! That looks like it will be ALOT of fun this Spring/Summer/Fall.”

“Walkindude - ummm, no!

Cap'n Bobo - Funny... I was just telling someone today that I couldn't have cared less what color it was. If the only one they had in stock was hot pink, then, Capn, I'd be paddling a hot pink yak!

Adventurist - So, Artex is an expert in rubbers and kegs? Good to know! (It has a rudder)

Briar - ROFLMAO!!

Q - you're role is crucial and very appreciated. But, don't forget that canoes and kayaks can be rented!

ltwt - It'll be ALOT of fun every Spring/Summer/Fall. :-)”

“"CURRENT events" -- hahahaha

If it doesn't quit raining here soon, I'M going to need a kayak.”

“I feel the need to explain why Adventurist said that. Over on paddling.net, I asked for opinions on a couple of different kayaks (the Carolina was one of them, BTW), and the thread quickly degenerated into a quipy debate about skegs and rudders, with a lot of sniviling and whining going on. It was rather amusing.”

“Artex - I was having more fun thinking you were an expert w/ rubbers and kegs. You blew that for me. Thanks a lot...”

“Oh, I missed that rubbers and kegs remark, LOL!”

“aHem!

Our Mr. Feeney DID say 'rudder'... LOLOL

You can't blame that one on Him, <G>”

“You missed an opportunity to talk up your rubber and keg expertise... You are an embarrassment to the HMWHC.”

“As an honorary HMWHC memeber I say:

BAN ARTEX!!!”
