Today I got a pair of Mion shoes and wore them down the Green. I think these things are going to be the best paddling shoe ever. They have this awesome style called the Flood Tide, which is what I have. Here's what it looks like...

The unique thing about this shoe is that the inside is like a bootie that is removable. You can slide the outer sandal part into the back of your boat and just wear the bootie while paddling. It's an ingenious idea and I think a lot of people are going to be really impressed with this brand.

Added some Riot demo dates to the calendar...



I know this friend named Jason Aytes who has this cool blog called www.kayakculture.blogspot.com Heh, in Canada they call it a blug. That's funny. Blug. Like, "hey are you going to make a blug post or something." Or, "hey, I saw your blug the other day." And we wouldn't even know what they were talking about. Cause it's in Canadian. And I dont' read Canadian. Jason is Americanese though so he understands. He's the guy with the chin and the teeth. He may be growing an impressive mustache soon. All of this is really making sense.

Sincere apologizes to my two viewers for not updating the site recently. There's really no excuse except that I've been trying to do some stuff that actually makes money and pays the bills. And I haven't done a very good job at that.

Thanks for coming out. I'll be here all week, Effort.tv

Well, it's official. The "new car smell" in my 2004 model vehicle has all but dissipated and has now been replaced by a permanent fart odor. Not sure how that happened... hmmmm... Oh. Bound to happen when you spend countless hours behind the wheel. What, do you expect a person to hold it? That's self mutilation.



So the real interesting thing is that when you hit the seat with your hand it omits a stale fart smell. I guess there's a ton of stored up fart gas in the seat. I knew I should have spent the extra money and gotten leather seats. Doh!
