Kipper is 11 years old now and try as he

Kipper indicated that he was ready to call it a day but


Those days always come around far too fast...and you remind of the
simple joys of paddling. Need to get my canoe out as soon as the heat
breaks...

Kipper the Hound was quite happy to spend the day in the canoe.

So that's the famous Kipper...... appears to be a creature who
knows how to make himself comfortable. How old is he, anyway?

Thanks for the TR.

So I rented my favorite canoe that I don't actually own,

Nice boat. :-) Though I prefer the eggplant color version :-)


Yours is one sweet looking boat. I hope you have a lot of fun
with it. I paddled an Adirondack yesterday fishing solo with
Kipper the Hound and this afternoon with me, Kristine and the
70 pounds of hound. Paddled forward or backward, tandem or solo
it's a very nice ride.

Thanks for the report and pictures. Pretty country up there.


Yeah, very pretty country. The land of sky blue waters.

Kipper the Hound is 11 years old this September. He's just
a hound from the pound, we adopted him from the Champaign
County Humane Society in late December 2006 when he was
about 3-4 months old.

Thanks for the TR.


Yeah, TRs are boring. To *really* make an impact on roff
you need a 200-300 post ****ing contest thread. Hell, Tom
Littleton has offered free beer and lodging at Penns just
for a ****ing contest between the two Daves. I might just
start a new ****ing contest and see if I can get at least
the promise of a Budweiser or two. ;-)

Yeah - some of us could do that math without your clues. ;-)

Thanks for the TR, BTW. How long do we get to keep this kinder, gentler Ken
before Mt. Fortenberry erupts?

Hmmm...let's see....

Obama isn't fit to hold the great Ronald Reagan's coat....Paris Hilton,
Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Hanna Montana are forming a
band...hey, at least they'll sound better than the "Grateful Dead"...a
recent study reveals that most Budweiser drinkers are illiterate,
fundamentalist Christian nymph fishers who ride ATVs towing bass boats
through national parks to poach deer with their Klan buddies and who
think Velveeta on Wonder bread with Miracle Whip is haute cuisine...and
last but not least, the Big 10 is hoping to become the Big 11 with the
addition of Duke...a spokesman for the conference said that it is hoped
the addition will finally make it a REAL conference...

The judicious application of a surprisingly small killfile
can prevent the occurrence of eruptions.
