Derrick talks about going kayaking.
"On Sunday Mary and I met with friends who are moving to the area and introduced them to our local paddle pond, Devil's Lake. I have a fantastic video from the day I've labeled "The Lumber Jack Roll", but I have to hold out on that until the roller, or should that be rollee?, sees it and says I can post it. It answers the burning question, "Can you roll a White Water Kayak with a Landscape Timber?". Now, don't go trying that at home!"

An elderly man is fishing on shore so I head back out to avoid his line, which he is reeling in. As I pass in front of him he cusses me and then tosses out his line, the weights falling about 25 feet away and an even distance from shore as my kayak. I guess he couldn't wait 30 seconds for me to finish moving through the area. For a moment I think about going to shore and 'discussing' his anger, but knowing my temper decide it best I ignore him."
