Paddling machine is so boring. Is it possible to make it even a little bit fun?

Thanks for your timeless question... is it in the least bit possible to enjoy paddling machine during those long and tiresome winter practices? The answer, while probably not what your looking for is 'kind of'.
Nothing compares to getting on the water, feeling the boat glide, and realizing your technique is working for you as the boat runs ever so smoothly. However, there are a few things you can do to arrive upon maximal enjoyment. Try breaking up a paddling machine workout similar to something you'd do on the water. For example, four minute pieces with some technical goals in mind. While the cardinal sin once on the water, having a stereo playing during a paddling machine workout is not a bad idea. It'll help
drown out the monotonous churning sound. Anyway hope this helps, and thanks again for your question.
