Adrenalin rush start of the week. 20120123
 
Hiked a few trails in Everglades National park yesterday before getting out the kayaks and starting to paddle the Nine Mile Pond trail.

Didn't time it right and we found ourselves a bit lost in complete darkness on a moonless night in thick swarms of bugs with crocodiles all around us trying to find our way back to the car. The only lights we had were our stern kayak lights which are more for being seen than to a see and one LED headlamp that Christy was wearing.

Was using my iPhone to navigate but only had a spotty cell signal so its maps wouldn't load or would take a very long time to load as the currant would push us into places full of crocodiles.

Paddled right over into and over and bunch of resting crocodiles that almost flipped my kayak before finally making it back to the car. Actually it was way too dark to tell if they were crocodiles or alligators but Nine Mile Pond is known for its large population of crocodiles.

Driving the long road back out of Everglades National park there were alligators running across the road as we ran over countless frogs.

Learned that we need to get a waterproof GPS that doesn't require a cell signal and a much brighter light for navigating pitch black water.

Just a day of work planned along with washing the kayaks.

It's Monday and time to work! (23/01/2012)
 
Good morning.

Finally solved a WP issue yesterday. Seems you can changed your PHP settings all you want but it doesn't mean a thing if you don't change the corresponding WP value -- Jesus Fucking Murphy! Anyhow, I can finally start putting some content on my blogs.

Today I will clean the main floor of our house, exercise and work on my sites, if all goes as planned.

Have a great day! |worm

Morning. Just another busy day. Have a good one everyone. Football games were crazy yesterday. Can't believe the raves and 49ers. Those fans haven't slept I bet.

Cleo: Yes, please get better lights and GPS. I'm happy that we are hearing from you today. :)

Morning.
Have to take my books over to my accountant for my quarterly reports, other than that, the same old thing. Actually took off from working out yesterday, and I'm stiff, no rest today.

I'm doing the Wii More Active 2 which is the hardest workout I've ever done in my life (I'm doing it on hard mode, plus I also generate at least an additional 15 minute cardio workout on my workout days). Anyone wants to do some serious cardio, I suggest that, and Walmart.com had it for less than $18.

Cleo, there is no way I'd of kayaked in a place with that many crocks, that picture is insane!

Have a good one all |virgohippy|

Good morning world |waves|

It's just a regular old work day here, nothing special planned for today.

Cleo - remember: run in a zig-zag pattern (good for crocogators, bullets and rhinos).

:)

Good Afternoon Peoples |waves|

I was so involved with cleaning up some dead links/trades that I almost forgot to come here today lol

Just work planned for today - oh joy - have a good one!

Good evening,

No offline job today so I spent way to much time playing on the PS3.
Still taking meds for my ear infection, they finally seem to kick in.

When I go kayaking here all I bump into are ducks or angry fishermen.

Have a good day all!

virgohippy 2012-01-23 03:11 PM

Afternoon ya'll.

Cleo, that's too much fun, even for me! |loony|

More work today, after a trip to the doctors to get some proper treatment for my girlfriend's eye infection.

OH NOES! GATERS ATES CLEOS!

makes for a funny lolcat...

I'm getting old, I religiously carry one of those little led flashlights anymore, have several so I'm never without.

It's dark out here in the woods.
