Took the 4-wheeler in yesterday, the dude looked at it for all of 10 minutes and said there was nothing wrong. I guess when the machine ships in a crate, they ship with the tires deflated and it takes a couple hot runs for the rubber to "work out the kinks" - that would've been nice to know BEFORE we loaded up the 4-wheeler and hauled it back to the dealer. That whole "this is normal for your back end to hop around on you when its brand new" thing - yeah, thank you.

I need a massage, my shoulders are all tight again.

Once again, I have to plan to put gasoline in my truck ... *sigh* I'm almost down to a quarter tank, which is where I tend to fill up because I'm terrified of being stranded someplace and having no fuel in my vehicle. Recently, I've been running down to fumes before I fill up.

I think I'm going to pick up Wuthering Heights - I've seen it referenced in a number of books that I've read in the past, but had never really had the want to pick it up for a read. Sounded like a romance novel, but I'm told it's not - really. Then maybe Dante's Inferno - which I had only read parts of in high school, or Satanic Versus - which I heard was a really good read. I'm seeing a dark pattern here, but I assure you all that I'm not worshiping Satan (although having some knowledge about him couldn't hurt, right?). These are books that got the most attention when I asked some people for a good "classic novel" read.

Jul. 8th, 2009 @ 08:56 am PINE BARRENS RIVER
Wading River

This week I went on a little solo kayak excursion up a river in the Pine Barrens. This stretch of river isn't cleared for kayaks or canoes, and so is rarely ever traveled by anyone. The river led to some fairly remote areas that would have been impossible to reach by foot or canoe. There were spots that were so tight and full of obstacles that I had to dismantle my kayak paddle into two separate parts and use them as ski poles to squeeze myself through, around and over fallen trees, swales, and hummocks. Saw more beaver lodges than I could count. I had to portage over a couple of the older, larger beaver dams, but it made for a fun toboggan ride on my way back downstream. The river opened up a bit as I made my way upstream, but it quickly grew dense and tight again as I made my way upstream from the large dam. I eventually turned around at a smaller beaver dam, because this Great Adventurer was late for dinner. Hopefully, I can visit this area again and follow the river much further upstream. No rare plants to speak of, but it's quite a beautiful trip.

To see the entire set, please have a look at my flickr photostream.

With this devil-may-care "Don't try to change me, baby" windshield, I'm beating the she-pineys off with a stick. It's the automotive equivalent of a rugged yet tasteful scar on the cheek.

Don't believe me? Go on--drive into a couple pine trees, and watch the backwoods ladies hop onto their mules and give chase.

My agent just sent me a link to this classic old track by Adriano Celentano. I love the spideriness of the dancers and the mock-English, nonsensical lyrics. It's interesting to hear the raw phonetics, and how English might sound to a non-anglophone.

Enjoy.
