Kayak revealed

Here's a pic of the kayak I mentioned earlier this week - it's a Scupper Pro. Sweet ride, even sweeter name. The two guys I fish with have a Scout and a Prowler, so I got the short straw when it came to the naming convention.

There is definitely a secret underground club for kayakers - much like those who road-bike, wear yellow bracelets, or even fake tan, there is a mutual respect given among people who shun modern locomotive engineering, but instead embrace modern polyethylene engineering and resort to paddles to propel them to greatness. However, I often see people with kayak racks on the top of their SUVs that look suspiciously unused - hardcore kayakers use rope and old couch cushions to get their 'yak (secret kayak term) to the water. I prefer the truck-bed transportation method, also affectionately known as the "Windshield Impaler"....

Prescreen for SuperCars

Spotted in D-town - The choice in presidential candidate is sketchy enough, but the fact that someone put a BUMPER STICKER on the fresh paint of a Porsche Carrera S leaves me no choice but advocate for an advanced pre-screening process before someone is allowed to buy any limited production vehicle over $50K. Good luck peeling that bad boy off...they must have arrived under sniper fire when entering the garage....

New Links

Check out the new links section on the right. That took me 13 hours and $4600 to create, pretty impressive if you ask me. I'll begin to add more as time goes on, but you gotta start somewhere. BTW, babyeidson is my baby, in case there was any confusion.

Blogging Hiatus

Please excuse my lack of blogging over the past week - I'm offering a full refund of $0.00 to my subscribers. Work is always busy, but my free time as of late has been absorbed by kayaking (thank you craigslist), so much so that Susan has bestowed the moniker "kayak widow" upon herself, giving me the chance to claim the nickname "kayak widower" which henceforth shall be my handle should I purchase a CB radio or become a professional wrestler. So, due to the lack of time and upcoming baby, I have decided to condense my hobby list down to the following activities - kayak fishing, Xbox, mountain biking, golf, guitar, blogging, and commemorative plate collecting. I'll have some items up on craigslist this week for your gawking pleasure as I begin the consolidation effort.

In the meantime, I have 30+ blog topics coming your way, so stay tuned....

Milk was a bad choice...

Tivo HD Price Drop

The new TiVo HD box (retail $299) can now be found as a refurb at both Tivo.com ($199) and yesterday on Woot.com ($179 + 3 months free service - now expired). I continue to tell everyone I know to cut the cable bill and get over-the-air HDTV with Tivo HD. Here's the cost breakdown:

$179-$199 - Tivo HD Box (one-time purchase price)
$35 - Tivo Wireless Adapter (one-time purchase price)
$25 - Phillips HD Antenna (one-time purchase price)
$13 per month for TiVo service - no hidden fees, no activation fee, just 12.95+tax each month

With 40+ channels (only 10 or so that I really watch, just like cable), I have more programming than I can ever watch. Plus we now get some ESPN simulcasts on channel 55.1, Astros on 51.1, and the Rockets in HD once a month on 20.1.

If you do sign up, put my email address (Lee.[insertmylastname]@gmail.com) into the referral box. I am working on getting the TiVo slippers. Sweet.
