Unfortunatley the weather here is awful. they are saying rain the next three days. the beer will have to wait until your next trip. My wife and I will be at Spideman 3 on Saturday night with my ten year old and seven of his buddies. It' his "pseudo" birthday party. Movies, pizza, and cake. If you are looking for a "place" to watch the game and enjoy a cold beer I highly recommed Katie Daly's on Merrick Rd. Great food and a great pint of Guninness. Alot of Mets fans too. We are having my daughters communion party there next Saturday night 5/26 6-10. Stop by if you are still in town. She will be wearing a white communion dress with an "aqua and orange" bouquet. :) <BR/><BR/>Lets go Mets!!!!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>God bless Carlos Delgado!!<BR/><BR/>Mike on LIMike McMillinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584126392931718113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11386152.post-90895145314556717622007-05-18T01:45:00.000-04:002007-05-18T01:45:00.000-04:00I will definitely buy you a program!!

Honest to God, you were my second choice after my Dad, sorry uncle Dave, I just didn’t think it would be as important to you (I would have truly enjoyed the company though). About my size, I’ve been taking a lot of protein and don't forget, swallowing one’s pride can really increase your bulk!!<BR/>Gotta love 1.5 ahead of the Braves and Yanks 9.0 games out (since I went to school in Bean Town, the Bosox are my second team). If they play the Mets, however, no contest in loyalty, Mets win without hesitation!! Maybe some Dolphin fans should think about home town loyalty (OK, I'll leave it alone!!)<BR/><BR/>TW Granite BayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11386152.post-62027684778737059372007-05-17T20:53:00.000-04:002007-05-17T20:53:00.000-04:00Lisa,I was unaware of the PFD rule.

I suppose I can stash one on there somewhere -- especially now that I have a bigger one with a storage area!<BR/><BR/>I do have a dry pouch. Sadly, I didn't bring it along on the first trip - which has been mentioned by several family members in endless mocking.<BR/><BR/>Dad is correct that most of the rivers near me are less than one foot deep, much less six! The Grand might habe a little bit of depth to it at the point near us. It's rare to see a boat other than a pontoon or shallow fishing boat in it, though.<BR/><BR/>I promise to remain clothed and petless.<BR/><BR/>Tim, I'm wearing the green horns of envy about seeing the Yankees! Can you snag me a program? And I'm curious how you grew so much in six weeks since I've seen you!Mets Guy in Michiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04048899230969074579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11386152.post-80149595740859876852007-05-16T20:34:00.000-04:002007-05-16T20:34:00.000-04:00Well Dave,I would have to say, all in all you were...Well Dave,<BR/>I would have to say, all in all you were brave (sorry to use that word but it's not capitialized and I don't think Larrrry Jones reads your site, though he should!)not by using the Kayak but by putting that second picture in. I can't even conjure up a visual of how I would look. Oops, just did, i'll be right back, gotta find somthing to pu... there, my stomach feels much better. I think the larger version would be a nicer fit, good workout. I would still get the cockpit and spray deck (thank God for Wikepedia). Believe it or not, that might be safer. About nude kayaking, only with Unicorns and Single Barrel on board!!<BR/>Oh, and I better not have seen any aqua (turquoise) on that thing!! Or, I will personally come and scrub it off. Just a note to Mike, my new friend and sort of related family member, I'll be on Long Island this weekend to watch the Mets beat the Yanks (acutally in Massapequa Sat. night) we can meet at any bar you choose. I'll be dressed in my black Mets jersey.<BR/>I'm 6'7" 350 lbs, brown hair.<BR/>Only kidding, my hair is sort of blackish brown. Hope to see ya!!<BR/><BR/>TW Granite BayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11386152.post-72598464549149587062007-05-16T16:24:00.000-04:002007-05-16T16:24:00.000-04:00Dear Mets Guy in Michigan,Since most of the rivers...Dear Mets Guy in Michigan,<BR/><BR/>Since most of the rivers in Michigan are less than 6' deep I do not think a PFD is a necessary safety device. Often people in Florida actually kayak nude, this causes much screaming as power boaters often do not know if this is some ancient burial right and is about to burst into flames or perhaps the sight of nude kayaking senior citizens makes people crazy. Actually it often acts as a safety device as you can always locate them by the screams. Some rogue put large Shar-pei in a kayak and set it out on the intracosatal and no one was sure senior citizen or large dog? Many screams resulted anyway. Enjoy the kayak, perhaps dog tags (no reference to the Shar-pei intended)would be a good idea, no cameras please.<BR/><BR/>DGIFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11386152.post-35409879045794263122007-05-16T13:20:00.000-04:002007-05-16T13:20:00.000-04:00Hi Dave,Congratulations on your new kayak!I didn’t...Hi Dave,<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your new kayak!<BR/><BR/>I didn’t see a personal flotation device in the photo of you, on the water and in your kayak. Maybe the person in the canoe was incredulous by the lack of safety gear you were sporting?<BR/><BR/>Safety first!<BR/><BR/>The boys got a kayak for Christmas and I’m having them take a safety class at a local canoe & kayak shop, before they are allowed to use it.<BR/><BR/>PFD’s are required by law in CT. According to the Michigan Handbook of Boating Laws & Responsibilities: <BR/>-Michigan’s PFD law permits a vessel that is less than 16 feet long, or is a canoe or kayak, to choose to have either a wearable PFD (Type I, II, or III) or a throwable PFD (Type IV) for each person onboard. <BR/>www.boat-ed.com/mi/handbook/pfds.htm<BR/>I think it’s also important to have some form of waterproof ID on your person, especially if you go out alone. No doubt your wallet can stay in the car, though. A cell phone in a ziplock baggie might be a good idea. <BR/><BR/>Don’t forget to bring a water bottle and to wear sunscreen!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Lisa (Connecticut Sis)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11386152.post-34202540383968199062007-05-16T07:29:00.000-04:002007-05-16T07:29:00.000-04:00You sure are lucky that the Grand River had no rap...You sure are lucky that the Grand River had no rapids.
