Kiteboarding in the fall!

Fall has arrived but is it too cold to Kite?  Definitely not!!

The water is warm and I have wetsuits, but I would like warm weather!  Tomorrow is supposed to be 78 degrees why couldn't this have come on the weekends when I do not have to work?

Has anyone had some nice sessions this fall? My last day of riding was September 8 on the bay side of Tawas.  My favorite city in Michigan will be visited again soon, hopefully the weather will cooperate and be warm so I can get another session in this summer.  If not, I will definitely do some paddling on the river!

If you have any questions on stand up paddling or Kiteboarding message me.  I have some very good contacts that can get you in to the sport quickly!

WARNING:  Kiteboarding is a very addictive sport!  It's all or nothing with Kiteboarders!

Day in the Life of My Boxers

I have a 5 year old white Boxer whose name is Bella.  I also have a 1 year old Boxer whose name is Shiner and she is fawn and white.  We originally got Shiner to entertain Bella during the cold winter months when she continually whines because she is bored and wants to go outside and play.

My Boxers wake up when its time for me to go to work and are awake about 1 hour.  They then spend the rest of the day lounging around and sleeping.  In the afternoon its all tails wagging and ears flopping, as this is there time of the day to PLAY!

My Boxers are the best of friends and will run around the yard playing chase, catching Frisbee, antagonizing squirrels and doing anything else they can think of.  During the evening hours they are back to their routine of lounging and sleeping untill they get hungry.  Then they sit and whine until their bowls get filled :)

After dinner they are ready for bed and this completes there cycle of their work week!  Now when the weekend comes its all playing all day unless of course they are left home while we go out then they recoup!


My dogs are some of the most spoiled dogs in the world.  They are not merely dogs but my best friends and part of the family.  If your looking for a family dogs definitely take a look at Boxers.  They love when my niece comes to play for a few days, but are grateful when she leaves so they can rest back up:)

Harsh Winter Upon Us?

Many news casters cannot make up there mind as to what type of winter they foresee for Michigan.  I have heard its going to be a bad winter, mild winter, average snowfall, etc. 

Now when it comes to weather this is fairly standard for the forecasters to change their mind all the time on their predictions. 

I would love to see a warmer winter with lots of snowfall.  Here in Michigan we got cheated last year.  We had a few snowfall days but it did not stick and our lakes never froze over safely.  There were no days of snowkittig of even sledding.  Our slopes were sloppy and barely worth paying for. 

Although I enjoyed the warmer winter, winter lasted a very long time and there was too much time indoors for me.
