Mega,
that post will be on the list of the 3 greatest things you have done while on this Earth.
i feel i should steer the conversation back to "what are you doing today (pics)" but all i've done today is + + +
which a picture of me doing would get me arrested in a few states & get me on the watch lists of a few more countries -
Pretty amazing work. Great angle to catch the effect Snowy!

Muay Thai seminar fundraiser. My friend and training partner was in an ATV accident and has severe burns. The community got together and put on a great event. Low key, but a solid buttkicker.

Most springs for the past few years the brewery I work for has done a canoe/kayak trip from our brewpub down to our production facility a few towns away via an inland waterway up here. It's a 26ish mile route that goes through four rivers and four lakes.
A friend and I attempted to make a go of the route on a solar powered canoe setup with a trolling motor this afternoon. The wind wasn't with us (it was far to rough on the first lake) but it was a great fecking day. Can't wait for try number two…
Headin down to the water, canoe up top...
Panels in the back…
All set up and ready to go…
The view from up front…
It may not look like much, but the water on Lake Bellaire was rough enough that it was coming over the sides of the canoe…
Looking a lot calmer back upstream though…
Parked up in the grass to charge up for a minute and adjust a few things…
Tons of peoples docks have been submerged due to an exceptionally wet fall and higher than normal water levels…

Just got home from a 30+ mile ride. Rest of the day is going to look like this
-
Can I come on try number 2 please?
You make it out here and I'm sure something could be arranged
Real talk though, I'm just hoping for the sun and wind to agree with us on the same day in the near future. Winter is fast approaching up here and I'd like to try before the temp really starts dropping…My buddies been working on this project for a while and his plans for next season are kind of crazy. His goal for next season is to get someone up on waterskis behind the canoe, with a number of modifications of course...

NFL at Wembley today. My first live game of American football. Really enjoyed it even if I didn't know what was going on all the time.
Much more of a event than the English football matches.
Some random bits which really confused me, the match would stop then they would have this guy DJ'ing then bring out people throwing t-shirts into the crowd. For no real reason.

That's what we call a "TV Timeout." They allow the networks to play advertisements to their televised audience.

Did wonder if it had something to do with the TV.

What do Americans think about it being played over here?

I can't speak for all Americans, but I think the globalization of the game is great for the sport, and inevitable if it wants to continue to grow.
Supposedly, five games will be played in London next year, which is fantastic.
London is the perfect place to launch the sport in Europe. It has all the ingredients for success, and more.
If the NFL can perfect the logistics of scheduling and transatlantic travel by exporting several games a year to London, then we may see an NFL team permanently based there before too long.
There is extreme confidence that LA will finally have another team to call its own, but the possibility of expansion seems less likely because the addition of one team necessitates another for balance.
In an ideal scenario, LA and London would receive new teams, so they wouldn't have to prey on established fanbases.
Regardless, I am really happy to see the sport received so positively at Wembley. I'm also glad to read you had a good time at the game, spitfiredealer.
Imagine how much more fun you would have if you had a permanent team in London that could battle against an American foe each week.

Am I the only one who sees the logic failure in keeping it the NFL if they are looking toward international expansion? All for the idea, but you shoot yourself in the foot on branding and name recognition, or you fail to recognize the international nature and thus deter further expansion.
