(lygenztia *242) At the risk of being repetitive..spring may have sprung.

I just couldn't stand it anymore and got my kayak out today. As far as i'm concerned, spring is here. It's official. (winter sucks, but i've said that before)

When I got to the water, the local fire department was doing some training and watched me unload my kayak. One of the guys I used to play hockey with saw me and said "are you nuts"? I looked at him standing in freezing cold water with his funny boots and asked the same question of him. We both realized it was a mexican stand off and laughed.

Moving on to the actual paddling, even with my cold water equipment on..... I froze. I don't care. My fingers went so numb, they may have been permanently injured. I don't care. It struck me as I paddled that everything was so "brown". It's that weird time period between winter and spring and the breif seasonal transition before we go "green".

No snow, no winter...but no green, no warm. Yet.

About that, I do care. Make it spring NOW. Please.......
