I had a rough day yesterday, part of which was my own fault. I wore Birkenstocks I bought at least six years ago for the first time in a long time, and it made my feet hurt a whole lot by the end of the day.
I’ve been thinking about a few things. I’m thinking about quitting kayaking because I’m not strong enough. We tried to bring the boat to my mom’s house yesterday, but the winds were really strong and I couldn’t secure it down tight enough. We had gotten as far as River Road on the Beltway and I had to pull over and readjust everything. After that I turned around and brought the boat home. I will give it one more try - I’ll try to take it to Lake Anna this coming weekend. If I can’t do that, I may well give up.
I’m thinking about quitting Literotica, too. I have made some friends there but people like Stuponfucious and Marquis hurt me too much for me to keep it up. I can’t put them on an ignore list either, because I’m a moderator and because it’s against my personal principles. So I am thinking about leaving, even if that means they won. I’ll have to talk about it with my co-mod and see what he thinks.
I’m just tired. And I do not have any nice relaxing weekends at home in the near future. I am on my way to the conference, which should be interesting. But anymore I feel like interpreting is the only thing I am remotely good at anyway.

You need a rack. It’s tough to tie things down with those foam blocks. Keep an eye out for used pieces/parts cheap (I may have a saddle pair available cheap by the end of the month). Bars aren’t that expensive, but those blasted feet can be.
If you already have the rack (do I remember you buying one?) and just need saddles let me know and I can hook ya up - at least as long as you have the Gulfie 
You should consider paddling out of Bull Run or Fountainhead during the week if your weekends are booked. My goal is to paddle out of Bull Run every weekday and the pirate group is paddling out of there at 6:00 tomorrow. If you need someone to paddle with on a weekday after work let me know and we can set something up.

I agree, you shouldn’t quite because of a tie-down issue. Maybe you can use a ratchet tie down system? We use them here at work to secure equip. and you don’t really need strength to get a good secure tie down. Maybe just look into different options? It seems you really enjoy kayaking, it would be a shame to give it up for that.
