A later start than usual, just couldn't seem to get up and going this morning. Good thing it wasn't some situation where it was important to be somewhere at a certain time. Did eventually make it out of the trailer though and took off headed west. Had a vague feeling that it was time to go do some canoeing since there have been several missed opportunities over the last couple of days. Ended up on the Erie Canal over by the town of Herkimer, where there was a little park with a boat ramp and dropped the boat into the water.

   Felt good to be in a canoe again watching the banks flow by. Headed up river to start, not that there was all that much current to contend with, still it always pays to go upstream just in case you break a paddle or something, kinda hard to get very far with just your hands. Plus it's really nice to be able to sit back and just float downriver for a little while, all the while watching out for those 'Down River People' of course. (A phase my friends and I have heard on many a river trip). Funny thing is, we've met those down river folks and in general they are just as nice as the ones we met up river. They, of course, also tend to warn us about the people who live further down the river.

   Spent some time this evening putting stuff away and getting ready for another move on Wednesday. Am going to meet a friend tomorrow evening over in Verona, NY for dinner and expect it'll be a bit late by the time I make it back to the trailer. Doesn't take a lot of time to put things in their place, after this amount of time everything in the trailer has it's own little niche where it lives while on the road. Will need to do another good trailer clean-out once back in Colorado. Have found that there is only so much room in the trailer and truck, so collecting very many things is out of the question. About the only thing I collect from my travels are 'shot' glasses, and then only ones from places I've actually been to or that mean something to me. Have even started collecting a few of the taller ones they have thinking that they will make great lemon-cello glasses someday. So far I'm on the 3rd case of them and each case holds between 25 and 30. It may be fun to look at them once I grow tired of this and settle down again.... won't be any time soon though.

    A friend of mine on Facebook re-posted this video one of her other friends had posted. For those of you that remember a young Clint Eastwood and all of those 'spagetti' westerns he did way back then, this song may bring back a few memories. Be sure to watch long enough to hear and see some of their special song effects.
