The Keys to Making Kayak Memories

Posted: 23 Jul 2010 11:34 PM PDT

Here is the rest of the story.

Rick and I did a Wednesday, 4 o’clock paddle on a little creek very close to our homes. Since it was so close, I had the brilliant idea that we drop the kayaks at the put-in, run my car to the take-out, then dash back to the put-in before somebody stole our yaks. I’m always concerned about losing my car keys while playing in the river, so I threw them on the front seat of Rick’s car saying “they will be safe here.”

Do you need a friggin’ picture?

Drawing inspired by Allie, who is getting to damn good for herownself and I hate because I remember when she only got 30 comments instead of three hundred.

No, Rick does not drive a locomotive engine, he drives a Jeep.

I called Nanc’ and she drove the three miles from our house to pick up Rick to drive the four miles to get his car in which he brought the keys for my car.

And we got yelled at because we took-out on private property.

1. Tree dumps me in water

2. Get yelled at by property owner

3. Realize I didn’t have keys for my car

Making memories!

MagicJack Femtocell May Mean I’ll Renew With Them

Nancy made me get a cell phone.

If I was floating down a river someplace, she was sure I would need one. Actually, I thought it was a good idea also because there is a lot of logistics to coordinating the put-out and put-in, and take-in and take-out, and the ups and downs, and ins-and-outs of kayaking a river.

I snared a Net10.com phone for $20 that includes 400 minutes to be used in 90 days.  So  far I have only really needed it once. And that is another story*

However, if the  MagicJack femtocell actually comes to market this fall, I may have to upgrade my phone. But I would be willing if I could make calls for $200 a year (the probable cost of the MagicJack doo-dad.)

The device will allow users to tie it into compatible cellphones to route calls over the Internet and therefore save callers from using up their cellphone minutes.

There will be MagicJack apps for the iPad, iPhone, Android and Blackberry platforms, with a new softphone service due later this summer.
