Cold wet socks suck. I will try boots instead :D” 8:24:33 AM 10/12/04 “ "...he stands alone!"You're right. Especially after I've been in the woods a while, no one stands near me!!!” 8:28:32 AM 10/12/04 “I'm up, I'm up! Rim to rim yesterday, 21 miles, 8:56, 5500 down, 4500 up. I hurt from about mid-thigh down. 4th annual "I'm-not-27-anymore" protest march. Still feels a little bit insane, but along about July it'll sound like a good idea again.” 8:30:50 AM 10/12/04 “Yah, come the time change, it'll be dark when I go home. It'll be time to pull up the pepper plants before long.” 9:28:13 AM 10/12/04 “Guess, I'll check in here too. I would have said hi earlier but had a homework deadline to meet. Roam, I seem to have the opposite problem as you. I wake at 5 and can't go back to sleep even though I want to. No-one else is awake at that time either so can't even make it interesting.” 2:54:33 PM 10/12/04 “Good morning. Going, going, will be going after this second cup of coffee is gone. Have a good day, y'all 'ear.” 5:12:13 AM 10/13/04 “up again, damn, seems to happen every day. Beats the alternative though. time to wash off the yesterday.” 5:50:51 AM 10/13/04 “yawn. mornin'.” 6:20:36 AM 10/13/04 “Thanks Roam...yesterday was starting to get to me!!! Hey..what is this I hear about you moving closer to the mountains...how much closer? Good Morning everyone!!!” 7:10:48 AM 10/13/04 “Good morning. I'm up with the coffee. Got my camera for the thru hike yesterday. It's an Olympus D-580 zoom. I don't know if it's good, bad or indifferent. I do know I'll have to spend some quality time just to figure out how to work the basics. So far I'm stuck on getting the time/date thing set. I'll take it to Yellow River next weekend and beg for some help. Have a good day. Smile, I'm takin' yer pitcher.” 7:52:00 AM 10/13/04 “:)” 8:08:02 AM 10/13/04 “Put some damn clothes on, Roam. I'm not taking porno of guys.” 8:52:52 AM 10/13/04 “Mornin, Can you belive I'm up before 9:00A.M.? Me neither.” 9:06:46 AM 10/13/04 “Face the camera, dammit!” 9:47:10 AM 10/13/04 “Can anyone send the cold front this way? We need it! It's a major party if the night temperatures make it into the high 60's here!” 10:53:08 AM 10/13/04 “Take it. I dont want it. Cold sucks.” 10:54:56 AM 10/13/04 “Can the 2 of you move closer together? I can't get you both in the screen.” 10:57:38 AM 10/13/04 “Good Morning everyone!!!! Well time for work and I am packed and ready to go.....Y'all have a great weekend and I'll see some of ya this weekend!!!! HUGS!!!” 3:51:36 AM 10/14/04 “WooHoo!! I'm just gettin home from work. See you fools in a bit.” 3:55:41 AM 10/14/04 “boy...thought I was the only one awake.....” 4:12:44 AM 10/14/04 “There is something wrong with being at work at 7am...I think I've lost my mind!!! Well, I'm gonna loose my mind if I don't get some things done before the world starts moving about. Hope everyone has a wonderful day :-)” 6:24:06 AM 10/14/04 “I'm finally awake here. Sort of awake at any rate. I'm making the executive decision to skive out of work and spend this gorgeous day (in the 70's! Sweet!) outside with my daughter. I feel like I don't spend enough good time with her so away we go. last edited: 10/14/04 6:43:09 AM” 6:42:00 AM 10/14/04 “Heading out for a long weekend on the SHT. Gotta go quick before I lose my nerve. Rain, possible snow, day time temp in the 40's and night time in the low 20's. Should be an ideal test for the March/April AT conditions. Adios, send help if you hear nothing by Monday.” 7:31:39 AM 10/14/04 “a little over 4 hours of sleep last night. Hate that, but I had to finish what I had to do before the mitchell trip tomorrow. I am ready now! Need to pack. oh coffee...almost forgot.I can have some coffee now.” 7:37:03 AM 10/14/04 “Treebait, that sounds like a terrific day. Its damp and, well, not quite chilly, but just damp and in the 50's here. Heard tomorrow we're supposed to have 40-50 MPH winds, which will make for some fun tree-limb dodging. :)” 8:09:01 AM 10/14/04 “sleeepy...... shoot, i really should get a day job lol” 8:24:13 AM 10/14/04 “thats it. I can't function. I need to break out the coffee....” 8:29:14 AM 10/14/04 “ahh treebait.......it is an absolutely magnificent morning out there .. cool and crispy and sunny....so much so that when i got back from jogging the dog...i called in well to work........ ahh....om~~~” 8:39:13 AM 10/14/04 “ahhhh my latte is ready :) when I finish it I might be up for my daily walk. Its cold, windy cloudy and gorgeous out.” 8:40:18 AM 10/14/04 “aw man...I actually have a day shift today...this sucks I gotta get up early LOL. COFFEE!!!! WHERES MY COFFEE!!!!” 4:41:19 AM 10/15/04 “Up early to pack for TC4.” 4:44:22 AM 10/15/04 “i've forgotten how to function this early...” 5:07:18 AM 10/15/04 “It's cooler here, in the 60's. Drizzly and very nice. Laurel and I get to help Grandma clean her house for all the company she's got coming from MIchigan. Hell-O Snowbirds!” 9:05:36 AM 10/15/04 “Good morning, No one posted here all weekend. Does that mean no one got up? Got back from my weekly trek on the Superior Trail on Saturday. Cold, strong north wind, a little taste of snow...more like November, but who can tell around here. I really love my Marmot Helium sleeping bag. It was in the teens and I was toasty warm; I've been colder in the house. It was so windy I almost stepped on a Hawk. I was within 3 feet before he reluctantly became airborne. Wish I knew what kind he was. I got myself remotivated while on the trail and am going to pack up and hike a few miles this morning before hitting the gym. Have a good day everyone.” 7:25:56 AM 10/18/04 “Morning Snake Eyes, have a good hike man! I ran out of coffee yesterday and forgot to replenish - first time in a while that I was glad to get to work on a Monday morning!” 7:27:32 AM 10/18/04 “Ran out of coffee?!!! Glad you made it. Morning all! :-)” 7:34:29 AM 10/18/04 “yeah, it was rough getting in a car with no caffeine boost!” 7:37:30 AM 10/18/04 “SE it means no one got to sleep....:( I had to figgian work 2nd shift friady, then a DOUBLE shift Satruday and a 12 hour shift Sunday...today I get to work only second shift again.... I'm kinda tired.” 7:39:42 AM 10/18/04 “Get Up (again) I remembered to stop for coffee on the way home last night, so i'm at least functional this am.” 6:23:37 AM 10/19/04 “I'm up, I'm up. Roam, I ran out of dish soap yesterday and it didn't bother me as much as you running out of coffee (and we've never met). Strange addiction, no?” 7:51:18 AM 10/19/04 “i could prolly go several days without dish soap, but running out of coffee was a mild emergency situation.” 7:57:55 AM 10/19/04 “Let me clarify...it didn't bother me as much as knowing you ran out of coffee (previous entry typed without the benefit of coffee).” 7:59:25 AM 10/19/04 “aha, ok that makes more sense now. lol” 8:00:24 AM 10/19/04 “Coffee, soap, two slippery characters! No wonder this thread is dying. Temperature dropped to 28 Saturday night. Had a lot of Iowa lightening near our tent with plenty of rain last night. A new tent kept us dry, but I was a little nervous being pitched under a tree. High winds on Saturday had forced me to seek a location with some wind shelding. Plenty of wildlife around Rock Creek SP, deer, large racoons, ground hogs, squirrels, geese and ducks. Saw four deer yesterday just while hiking around part of Rock Creek Lake. Of nine deer seen so far only one was a buck. Guns were firing around us along the lake shore at sun-up on Sunday morning. Don't know any birds were taken.” 11:45:27 AM 10/19/04 I've been shot! “Yes, at Grinnell, Iowa, I received a flu shot this morning. It appears that I am a member of the high risk group. I arrived about 30 minutes early with a 20 oz. cup of hot coffee. There were only about 40 people waiting in a medium sized room, but when I left there was a long line outside the room. There was no organization within the room and I sat at a table flirting with a couple of "old" girls. Oficials entered, set up shop and selected my table first. Filled out the form and was the fifth person to be shot. No fuss, no bother and medicare pays the bill. So now it's back to Rock Creek SP to break camp and head for Yellow River SF. Everyone have a nice day.” 10:27:17 AM 10/20/04 “morning chant: the days they flow thru me like the wind thru the trees yes, the days they flow thru me like the wind thru the trees You are my love , You are my life, You are the reason i live~~ yes, You are my love , You are my life You the reason i live~ and a beauty of a day it is~~~~~~~~ jai guru dev om~~~~~~~~~~~~” 7:58:16 AM 10/24/04 “mornin'” 8:16:10 AM 10/24/04 “OooooMmmmmm ... OooooMmmmmm ... Ommm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~” 8:20:59 AM 10/24/04 “Morning.” 8:58:54 AM 10/24/04 “Morning hugs to all...I slept in until 9am.....6 hours....omg...getting up tomorrow will be a real challenge.......I wish I was backpacking..... :(” 9:51:14 AM 10/24/04 Jump to Page << prev
