When I yakked past them, they asked me to show them my tits, so I shook my vest covered chest, and then they mooned me. Good times =)

Bachlorettes on a Boat
Thursday, August 4th, 2011OMB WTF BBQ Seaplane Landing
Thursday, July 28th, 2011
You could tell it was these ladies first kayaking trip on lake union. When the seaplanes started landing, they started freaking out, screaming and yelling in literal panic. Now I will admit the pilots like to cut as close as they can, but this guy isn’t touching down anywhere near as close as I’ve had them land next to me.
Hooters Lake Union eviction notices
Tuesday, June 21st, 2011
The Hooters on Lake Union in Seattle has been ‘closed for remodel’ for months now. I suspected it was a permanent closure since they didn’t seem to be doing any actual work on the place, and felt certain of my suspicions when they missed the memorial day weekend. Looks like I was right.
No way Moss Bay
Tuesday, May 17th, 2011Grar.
I pay good money to have 24×7 access to my kayak, or one of his mates. It’s supposed to come with access to the needed accessories like lifejacket, paddle, and drybag. Someone forgot to set out the after-hours equipment, so on our finally first day above 70 degrees, when I make the trek over to take an afternoon ride, it was all for naught. And none of the staff had bothered to show up today, even though it was perfect weather for watery fun. I sure hope they at least bother to check voice mail before tomorrow afternoon. I’d hate to think they wasted the first two decent back to back days of the season entirely.
UPDATE: They did set up the after-hours bucket, and got the new seasons’ yaks in, so less chance of running out of singles for the rest of the year.
Busy Weekend
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010Started out my Saturday at the Wooden Boat Festival on Lake Union. On the way there, the Beetle got unhappy, so he ended up parked the whole weekend, which left me limited to activities within scooter range, so no vintage car races. That’s OK, the zombies were out in force in Fremont. Children zombies, bride zombies, lady zombies, dude zombies, and of course, zombie-fighters.
Sunday was 4th of July fireworks at Gasworks Park. The day started out nice enough, I went kayaking without incident, but shortly thereafter, it started to rain. But by the time it was time for fireworks, things had cleared up nicely, and I got lots of pics of the action. Afterwords, got some cool stretchy light photos of boats and cars trying to leave the area.
Monday, helped out with the Starbucks Clean Up project. Found the remains of a mugging, and some strange bunch of poles and chains, and a fake rock, that smelt fuel-y.

Sunday, February 28th, 2010Started the day out with breakfast at the Hurricane, served by My Little Pony, if we believe receipts.
Learned that just because we could make synthetic natural gas in the 1800′s doesn’t mean you shouldn’t serve in the military now. Umm, OK?
I wondered again, just how safe the park can be for kids to play in, when a mere locked door protects us from “unremediated areas” that require class C protective gear.
Someone is camping in the park. If the luggage is any indicator, they once had a decent job. Or were given a nice set of luggage and camping gear. I suspect there are two of them, and they also own these bikes.
The clouds were breaking up, by the time I kayaked (no pics), it was actually sunny.
Saw some paranoid conspiracy graffiti. Noticed a helipad I had no idea existed, despite kayaking past it for years. Amazing what a change in perspective reveals.
Saw yet another pair of Sunday morning, aka the day after, shoes.
Not ideal kayaking weather
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009So, whenI look at the last 48 hours of wind speed data for Seattle, I see that around the time I went out on lake union yesterday, Winds were S 13 G 22. Gusts of 22 mph?!? No wonder it felt like I was trying to paddle thru mollasses on the return trip. d’oh.
