SUP - A River Adventure

So...International Surfing Day 2012 (June 20th) was awesome, but today I finally got to use the plentiful bounty I received...in particular the GoPro2 camera for my SUP!  

This morning I took the GoPro2 and attached it to my SUP for a little show.  It was fun paddling around the Red River with this on the board.  The only thing I didn't like was that I didn't have a big enough memory card for the camera and only got a little bit of the days events.   Good thing I started off with a little paddling and turning to catch it on video.

Then after  paddling around a little while, I decided to head South toward the Lee Davis bridge.  It was ways off and I wasn't sure I was up for the long paddle since I had some issues yesterday.  In fact, I think I may have broken my hand while out on Cross Lake on Saturday :(  It is still swollen a bit (okay a lot) today, but I don't want to go to the Doctor since I have a TDY in a few weeks and I have a beach trip planned in the middle of August.  No need in them putting a cast on my hand, because I won't be able to paddle out into the surf along the Galveston Seawall.

Italiano -- molto buona

La mia famiglia (mia moglie) mi ha fatto un meraviglioso Italiano pranzo di sabato! È stato divino! Abbiamo avuto caprase con prosciutto e melone.

For those who can't read Italian, here is the English text --
My family (my wife) made me a wonderful Italian lunch on Saturday! It was divine! We had caprase with ham and melon.
Again, it was simply amazing lunch.  I couldn't have asked for it to be any better -- unless we were actually in Italy!
