You know you addicted to NCKA when?

#71  You quit your job so you can go to Elk.... I think Uminchu is going to have to do this one.  There's always other jobs out there, I mean heck look how great our economy is doing.   .  I stopped looking at my retirement account.   

72...You are more interested in checking the numbers at AOTY than the stock market numbers..Yeah, what retirement?

#73  You post your work-related injury report on NCKA.org before you get around to submitting it on your employer's reporting system.

#73  The safety manager at your place of employment begins getting injury reports faster on NCKA.org then through the reporting system that is in place at work.

Refer to http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,14027.0.html for background on this one.

#75 You're on vacation and the network at the hotel you're at is down...you seriously consider checking out so you can go to another hotel

#76 You own more than ONE kayak

#78 Your winter project now includes Pimpin' the kayak 

#79 Now that NCKA is growing....you feel the need to create your own faction....examples; "The Mendo Crew"...."East Bay Slayers"..."The Bodega Bay Clan" and the newly formed "HAC" AKA  = "Hella Asian Crew" - we even have our own gang sign:

#80. When other kayakers look and stare and then can't help but ask why you have a ruler engraved on your paddle

#81. When a Hog Trough and a water proof digital camera is just as important as a PFD

#82. When you constantly complain to Papa Bill that there's not enough emoticons 

#83  When you get injured you race for a camera faster than you seek medical attention.

84...One of your arm is longer than the other one due to too much stretching for self portrait with your catch.
