hardly worth reading

People that hang out with me know that I ramble sometimes. This is one of those times. I won't be upset if you decide not to read this post. (but you better read all the others!)

I am trying to figure out how to make money in my spare time. I've heard of people doing eBay businesses, that's probably a good route. I've also heard of people making money blogging. I blog already, can I make money doing this? Google has something called AdSense, which will put advertisements on my blog, and I'll get paid a bit for that. For some reason, I feel like Google would be the one getting most the money from those advertisements. I might have to wait until I start writing something worth reading before I take this route.

I learned this morning that to sell a product, you need to fill a specific need. 

Of course on my mission in Indiana I couldn't kayak, it was against the rules. But, if I lived there not as a missionary I would "need" somewhere to kayak.

You can artificially make places to play boat. Here is a list of artificial whitewater parks.

Don't read into that list to much, else you will find that there already is a whitewater park in Indiana. The thing about that park, though, is that there aren't any play waves there.

This is the kind of thing that Indiana needs. It's called the Riverdale Wave.

Can I build these? If more of these were built, then more people would "need" kayaks. If more people had kayaks, there would be more of a need for play waves. It is my dream that every small town in Indiana have a man made play wave in it. If that were the case, more people would care about the rivers, and the environment. It would keep kids from getting in trouble. Plus, as the bible says, kayaking is the way to happiness.  

Alright, I started by talking about how to make money in my spare time to talking about how to make the world happier. How do I do both? I could start with Coal Creek, the little creek that runs through town. The water is low right now, I need to figure out how to dump a bunch of concrete and rocks into a certain part of the creek so when there is more water running through it, there will be a fun play wave. Coal Creek already has a fun feature, but it could be better.

Here is Coal Creeks little waterfall

And here is something to laugh at as a reward for reading my ramblings. This is me getting hammered by that waterfall while is holds me there. Look closely to see the rocks coming at me as I get beaten while upside down.
