Think I'll go to the beach, the water's probably gotten warm enough to get in by now too.” 12:04:22 PM 3/21/04 “good idea, helinka... might just do that. are they normally cheaper than hotels?” 1:45:32 PM 3/21/04 “Hi all. I'm back from the dead.” 1:53:03 PM 3/21/04 “where were u” 1:57:39 PM 3/21/04 “Spent the night at a friend's house. Ever drink to the point where you are aware of what is going on around you, but you can't interact with it?” 2:01:22 PM 3/21/04 “hi lz. welcome back usually scorch. but not always. check the b&b guide-you might find it at a chapters.” 2:03:19 PM 3/21/04 “oh i forgot...u suck roam” 2:04:20 PM 3/21/04 “I need to get some hiking in soon.” 2:04:45 PM 3/21/04 “lol lz. that's me every weekend! just kidding. or maybe wishfull thinking” 2:07:04 PM 3/21/04 “Conditions suck right now. A lot of the snow is half melted making for a lot of soft spots in the hard pack. Where the snow has all ready melted it has been replaced with mud. I hate early spring. Things won't get much better until May.” 2:12:40 PM 3/21/04 “"lol lz. that's me every weekend! just kidding. or maybe wishfull thinking" just to clarify things, i mean the drinking thing. definitely the drinking thing. cause i can't seem to get my lazyass outside very often when there's snow around.” 2:16:52 PM 3/21/04 “The pool was good, we skipped the beach, the pool is easier - just walk across the parking lot, no sand in your shorts. The water was dadgum cold still though. Felt nice just laying in the sun.” 2:27:27 PM 3/21/04 “it's crappy out today... overcast, cold, and windy” 2:34:53 PM 3/21/04 “"it's crappy out today... overcast, cold, and windy" About the same here.” 2:42:33 PM 3/21/04 Stupid Internet! “I hate Time Warner! My internet constantly goes up and down. It's getting ridiculous. Anyway, it's cold here, should be warm next week. I'm trying to decide if I wanna go on a backpacking trip next weekend or not. Indiana, four hours away, hmmm... I've only got 3 bag nights this year and that would be another. I wanna try to get at least 20 this year. I'll get a couple at Trail Days, a couple at Dolly Sods, probably 2-3 more in June/July. A couple at TC4. Still not enough to get 20 though...I need to backpack more.” 3:14:42 PM 3/21/04 “i just found out i HAVE to go to Halifax in september.” 3:17:57 PM 3/21/04 “crap. it's expensive to fly in Canada.” 4:09:53 PM 3/21/04 “when is tc4?? still no dates?” 4:21:13 PM 3/21/04 “this place is dead today” 5:09:08 PM 3/21/04 “yeah cause everyone else is out hiking” 6:24:05 PM 3/21/04 “at 7pm on a sunday?” 6:29:22 PM 3/21/04 “yeah, of course, i just got in... was just walking around the lake, but hey it's a hike. Brrr, i'm freeeezing, i shoulda dressed warmer” 6:40:18 PM 3/21/04 “Hey! just finished dinner. simer: next time wear a hat and grab your scarf. Scorch: pffft helinka: bummer. Dub: uh, gee. bummer for you too.” 6:46:28 PM 3/21/04 “I'm gonna try something - I looked at the plans for Henry Shire's tarptent. I drew it out last night and made a couple of slight modifications. Think I'll get me a sewing machine and try to put one together.” 6:49:18 PM 3/21/04 “I always wear my hat” 6:49:59 PM 3/21/04 “LOL, but what about the scarf?” 6:50:42 PM 3/21/04 “nah, i don't wear a scarf” 6:51:45 PM 3/21/04 “it's gettin hot in here with my heat on high... but i'm still not warming up, brrr” 6:58:25 PM 3/21/04 “didyou know i found some pretty decent bugnetting at walmart? black..my favorite colour. you need some of this stuff for your tarptent Roam.” 6:59:37 PM 3/21/04 “AH.... The Classics! Oh, you burned your finger that evening While my back was turned I asked the waiter for iodine But I dined alone Your red scarf matches your eyes You close your cover before striking Baby's got the shipfitter's blues Loving you has made me contageous ” 7:24:22 PM 3/21/04 “interesting tilt I looked for a bug net at my Wal Mart but found none. I hope they get some more of that nylon at 1$ per yard in a different color soon. Last time I looked all they had was bright purple.” 7:35:49 PM 3/21/04 “It's no "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," but hey....” 7:45:40 PM 3/21/04 “purple would match the neon orange at the store up here.” 7:55:11 PM 3/21/04 “You'd be able to find my campsite at least.” 7:56:18 PM 3/21/04 “The lady said they pretty much always have that fabric, the color varies from shipment to shipment.” 7:57:09 PM 3/21/04 Flying Dogs “as in Flying Dog Brewery. Now I'm trying their "Road Dog" (Scottish Porter) version, it's a little heavier and a little more "hoppy" than the others I've tried. On the Lable is a kicked back dog in a joker hat. and it says "good beer" "no #&%!$" Across the bottom is "good people drink good beer" I love this stuff, the labels alone are enough to make you try it.” 8:00:47 PM 3/21/04 “I should prob get a couple yards of the purple to practice on the sewing machine with. I could make up a couple of stuff sacks or a pack cover or something like that.” 8:02:03 PM 3/21/04 “you can always uae another stuffsack” 8:05:07 PM 3/21/04 “yup.” 8:10:40 PM 3/21/04 “Scorch: pffft pffft what?” 8:22:26 PM 3/21/04 “it's crappy out today... overcast, cold, and windy" ScorchFire 02:34:53 PM shoulda been on springer last night and this morning....phew...damn tent bout blew away...got plenty of rain but you know for a $20 tent it didnt leak anything like i expected....still waiting to upgrade again to the hammock” 8:35:18 PM 3/21/04 “pffft on you, nothing in particular. I just figured you were about due a good pffft.” 8:43:24 PM 3/21/04 “20 dollar tent? from where? roam, gee thanks :P” 9:05:14 PM 3/21/04 Greenhorns “New convert to backpacking. I was telling my friend Sherie that I might be going backpacking next weekend an my friend Jeff (not my roommate Jeff), said he wanted to go. He's never been before so I'd be breaking in a greenhorn. According to the trip page, it's for beginners anyway. I'm glad I have gear for two now--so people who've never done it can come with me. And yet I still need more gear!” 9:11:52 PM 3/21/04 “lol 20 dollar tent from target...i sold/traded my other tent to my brother over the winter so he could do some camping in FL and i just havent gotten a chance to get out to buy anything else though...thats ok i got a b-day coming up bout Tues.week...so that should be good for a gift certificate or two... on another subject when i got my dividend back it was like a whole big 1.78 or something but i spent well over 150 there last year...anyone got any ideas why it was so little...it had like almost 100 bucks saying it wasnt applied or something...” 9:12:06 PM 3/21/04 “hawk mountain trip is going down the first weekend in may if anyone wants to come : ) matt (deathmarch99) is driving in from indiana. i'll put it up on the trips page as it gets closer.. it's about 90% definite for now.” 9:15:21 PM 3/21/04 Alcohol intolerence “So tonight one of my buddies graduated from college. So obviously we had him a graduation party. I didn't eat very much all day so my stomach was empty. I bought myself and my buddy a tall Killians Irish Red. It's the only beer I had and it made me feel like crap. I'm sure it wasn't the beer as another beer I had a few weeks ago made me sick as well--it gave me bad heartburn. Is it possible to become beer intolerant?” 9:26:47 PM 3/21/04 “yeah, it is. but it usually doesn't happen till your mid 30's or mid 40's. I had a cousin that got to where any kind of alcohol just ripped up his guts. You prob just had an empty stomach and the beer got to you.” 9:28:38 PM 3/21/04 “I dunno man...you're probably right, it really made me feel like crap, not drunk, just crap. But all the other times I drink I've been getting heartburn that makes it painful to drink beer. Might have to try a womans (mixed) drink and see if that bothers me.” 9:33:35 PM 3/21/04 Jump to Page << prev
