New Bikes For The Adirondack State Of Mind

Here they are: the new Bikes with which we shall scale Mt Marcy and other large hills, valleys, and crags.

Rainy weekend causes delay in boating Time

Rain played a  prominent role in this weekend’s activities. For fear of downpours, the boat was left wrapped in it’s blanket. Her and I are taking a boat safety course on July 8 and 9. This fact has nothing to do with the weather. We are taking it, weather or not..

The Fish Creek Uprising

Torrential rains have caused a big upsurge in Fish Creek

Saratogaville

 This can actually be sung to the tune of “Margaritaville”

 

Phil's on his tractor, and Dan's benefactor, Gary and Bruce are watching with glee
There's Ray and Connie listenin' to blarney, ain't there anyone listening to me

Headin' up North again to Saratogaville
Looking for my lost presence of mind
Some people swear that I won't find it there
But I think, it's up there some where.

George has my boat done, soon I will be one, one of those crazy fools out on the pond
Bob'll be screamin', shoutin', and meanin'
for me to hear and quickly respond

 

Headin' up North again to Saratogaville
Looking for my lost presence of mind
Some people swear that I won't find it there
But I'm sure, it's up there some where.

 

Judy and Sally, back in the alley, plantin' some carrots, roses, and kale
Jen and Joan stepped so lightly,  when something unsightly
made them jump and off they did sail

 

Headin' up North again to Saratogaville
Looking for my lost presence of mind
some people swear that I won't find it up there
but I know, it's up here somewhere

Probably the first and last photo of me

Here I am, the first day on the river in the HMS Scyter (named after my beautiful Corgi who passed on December 3, 2012). It was a glorious day. we were out for a long time, ‘cause we also rescued a boater:

This is the boater whose life was saved by the quick work of me and her.
