With the advent of the Yuki adventure on Monday and a lengthy discussion with my wife last night, there won't be a kayak in my life any time soon, if at all.
My wife informed me that if I had a kayak, it tipped over, and I drowned, she would hunt me down, find me where ever I was, and kill me again. She seem pretty firm on that and there didn't seem to be any wiggle room there.
You have to keep in mind that I'm married to a Princess. Being married to a Princess, you're subject to the "Princess rules". If you're married to one, you know of what I speak. If not, let me list a few for you.
Princess rule #1 - The Princess is always right. That goes without saying.
Princess rule #2 - If the Princess is wrong, refer to rule #1.
Princess rule #3 - The Princess can change the rules at any time. No, she doesn't have to tell you ahead of time.
Princess rule #4 - Don't piss off the Princess. This is where the second paragraph above comes in.
Princess rule #5 - The Princess should have everything she wants. When the Princess is happy, you'll be happy.
I know, this is just some silly stuff,.....or is it? Yuki sold the blue kayak and in the future he'll be kayaking alone. If I want to get out, I'll have to break out the Float Tube Cumberland and chance the leg cramps.
I had another epiphany this morning regarding the Float Tube Cumberland. I could flipper out to one of the buoys (Camanche North Shore), tie up to it, and fish from there. Deep water, sitting on my butt, and Power Bait dunking. What a concept.
See you next post.

Mark, I have to agree with Princess here. Sorry! Perhaps a small pontoon boat with oars, but, I still am a float tube kind of guy. Spent a lot of time in tubes over the years.
ReplyDeleteHi Mel. I think that just tubing near shore will do the trick.
DeleteThe kayak is not for everyone. My wife has to worry about surf and Great Whites... She is a trooper. Still glad you came out OK.
ReplyDeleteああ、なんとまあ,幸せなアメリカン・ハズバンド！
ReplyDeleteOK, I wrote "How lucky you are an American husband (to have have such a loving princess wife)!" in Japanese, in case you needed a help reading it.
Like I told you you could've secretly bought a fishing kayak and hide it at my barn without your princess knowing it. I would've kept it secret as your good friend.
BTW, Jim is bringing his motor cycle to show me his. Harley Davidson. Would you be interested? I think you'd look very sexy with the leather jacket, chaps, etc.
Yuki
No motorcycles. I'll leave the leather for the big guys with long hair and bushy beards.
DeleteYuki's daughter is rolling her eyes at his above comment.
ReplyDeleteHi Marisa. How's my favorite Herpetologist? Sorry I missed all those fishing trip you made with your Dad. Probably wouldn't have made any difference in the amount of fish caught. Been a lousy year down country.
DeleteMotorcycles next?
ReplyDeleteNot in this lifetime....
DeleteIt's makes good sense to listen to the wife.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the kayak but I understand even if I am not married I have dated princess girls before. But one question if kayak is out does that mean you get another boat?
ReplyDeleteNot a chance. More likely back to the Float Tube Cumberland.
DeleteIt has been said by wiser men, "Happy wife, happy life". I tend to agree.
ReplyDeleteBetter safe than sorry. That goes for kayaks and wives. But I like the thinking out of the box with the tube. Lately it has occurred to me that I could take the tube out on the river and island hop all the way to the Pacific if I wanted to.
