The BIG 4 0 (thank God not mine!)

Well if kayakers had jerseys, it would be time to retire Uncle Jim's. Matt and I vowed not to paddle with Jim once he turned 40, so as of yesterday his status is back to "Driver". I can't wait to give him his gift tomorrow at the party. Hopefully the old fart can still get out and paddle with us in a few weeks, which brings me to my next point: It's getting freakin close!!! It was about 40 degrees today and a full sky of sunshine. One of those days that gives you the crack itch for some boating. Hopefully Sally-pants upstairs will get off his lazy ass tomorrow and we will hit something up. I need to get out there!

I got the tent, bill's bag, and knife for the trip today yesterday. Paul just walked in and he is saying we are going. I need to round up my shit.
