We had a very heavy thunderstorm last evening, and now we've got drizzles all day. That with a high of 81 makes for miserable humidity. THere's a local man who's rehabbing a sick lion cub near here, so we're going to go visit the little fella today. It's a cutie. It nearly died from an infection 2 weeks ago because it's previous owner didn't kow how to take care of it. This local guy's a pro, and looking at the cub you'd never know it was sick, the way it plays around. I guess living on a yacht was good for him!

Good morning.
RAIN...RAIN...RAIN

I want to backpack, but not in the rain. The 10-day forecast predicts rain every day. Reminds me of a few years ago when it rained so much in June that I got disgusted and left. I drove south until I saw sunlight.

Early morning at work for me. I'm hoping it means I can leave work early, but I've got tons to get done today.

My eyes are really yucky from my allergies, itchy, watery, and just plain feel awful. Can't wait for the cottonwoods to stop raining white fuzz on us.

Good morning. I'm at my son's place in
Richmond, having rolled into Waynesboro yesterday afternoon. Hiking the section north of Buena Vista with Creekdancer this weekend, a few more days with my son, and on to the Shenandoah's. I need a recharge. Physically I'm doing quite well, but the whole thing is becoming draining. A few days off without having to focus on gear or buying food should turn me around. Hope everyone is doing well. I need to find some coffee

I didn't get near enough sleep last night. Ugh. It still looks like a decent day; overcast, 83, with a good chance of rain this afternoon. Not too bad. It'll keep the playground equipment nice and cool.

Good morning. Yep, had my coffee.

Got the car serviced yesterday. Disgusted with all the rain this Spring,I was going to pull out of the Smokies and head back to Florida. But the rain stopped, the humidity dropped and the forecast got better. Actually, there are mixed forecasts, but with clear skies, I'm going to hike back uptrail today.

I'll be on it more, after I return home in July. How's your leg or ankle that caused you to quit backpacking and take up train riding, humanpackmule?

KitTmaio - Welcome to TT. Where are you located in Florida? I live in Melbourne. With your display of art work, I almost suspect you could be my daughter.

Thanks, I'm glad to be here... Some people think I'm a troll, but I'm not. I"ve been having too much funtoday on the boards though, so please pardon a good mood.
Artwork??? which are you reffering to?
And unless you're a gumpy old man, Im not your kid. sorry love.

I'm on the treasure coast. And seriously, between the marsh and the mosquitos and the noseeums there's not much here other than the beach. The everglades which provide me hours of entertainment are south of me a few hundred miles and the rest of the land between here and there is developed for the most part. (I miss the mountians and the miles of natural land. I once lived in cali where I developed a love of mountain biking... hiking all the way up a hill carrying your bike and then riding back down, making sure to not crash into the trees too hard. ahh.. it was great.)

KitTmaio - Artwork - I was referring to your Album.

I am a gumpy old man. And I have lived in Minnesota.

In some literature Melbourne is on the treasure coast and it is about 200 miles north of the Everglades. So you must be somewhere nearby. Contact me for a coffee meeting sometime after I return home in July and I'll direct you to some trails which you might enjoy.

And mr. Slimmer, to find that infact you are an old man is amuzing, and I'll trust your judgement of the existance of the grumpyness. Either way, I'm still not your daughter. ~.^ though I am glad you like my art stuff.

It's good to see that you are doing aikido (I think that's what the pictures are of.)
let me know when you get in town, we'll talk. (Im significantly south of melbourn though...)

Good Morning! Finally got a break in the hot humid stuff and are back to our normal high sixties, low seventies weather. Got the windows open and am tickled to hear the birds singing again. I hate A/C (except for when it's 100° and I don't have it and then I desire it with all my heart)

WOW!
I'm here!
I couldn't wait. I walked off a trail yesterday and drove straight back to Florida. Cut my trip short by almost three weeks.

You were quite close. Aikido is a subset of aikijutsu, which is what I do along with some Ki, Toide and a few things from other martial arts.

Sorry.
After driving I-294, getting to O'Hare, and stopping in a suburb, my nerves were too shot for any more side trips. I even got in the wrong toll lane and had no choice but to run it. Later I did get an official envelope at another toll booth and mailed them my 80¢ toll. I hope it worked and no ticket arrives in my mail.

Lovely morning. Got up and Laurel, Treebait and I lounged in bed and played for a bit.

Then I got a call informing me that one of my friends and his wife got tboned by a oblivious signal ignoring driver while riding their motorcycle last night.

Shirly has a crushed pelvis and Chris's foot ended up turned the wrong way.

Obvioulsy Chris won't be going out to Montana with us now but thank God their little girl still has parents.

Good morning, Paul. I'm supposed to be getting ready for a trip to the Smokies, with my mom. I love her but I don't travel well with her. We're picking up my niece and (15 year old) nephew. I'd hoped he'd be staying in summer school (which he needs) but nope, he's coming to live with the grandparents for a month.
