Boom!!!!!!!!!!
You go girl!

[max patch]

So I'll contribute a post to the cause. And if Rasty sees it he can comment, and that'll be another one.

So I'm at Costco looking a rice cookers. They have one, and it says you can also use it as a slow cooker.

I've got a slow cooker so I'm thinking maybe I can use it as a rice cooker. I checked the internets and the internets says I can.

So I tried it.

Gummy.

Rasty must be gone so I'll ask someone else.

Anyone know if Paula Dean has a forum?

[Driver8]

Boom!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats! I had one cued up, then pressed the wrong button in the moment.

That's what she said. ... <rim shot>

hell you say...you got skillzzzz

[atmilkman]

Thanks guys... it was pure luck... always is, right?

With so many playing the game now it's just luck. But like someone in baseball said "you gotta be lucky to be good and you gotta be good to be lucky".

[rocketsocks]

so what do we do now...i know....shoot for 44

[Driver8]

I've done that too, hehehe

She said that, too. ;)

You changed your Avatar, Storm. just noticed.

[rocketsocks]

Oooooooh, you almost said "that word".NNNNN i didn't, maybe i did

[Storm]

You changed your Avatar, Storm. just noticed.

I was asked to do it by a very influential person.

[atmilkman]

It's been just over 5 days since the last 1000.

[atmilkman]

We basically have 22 days for 7000.

[Storm]

Not every day you are asked to take your clothes off at my age. :)

[atmilkman]

Basically 528 hours.

[Deer Hunter]

Boom!!!!!!!!!!



Hellllooooo HM!

[rocketsocks]

Basically 528 hours.
970 to go for 44,000 hehe

[hikerboy57]

guys , im getting teary eyed. wow what an effort!!
congrats on 43k mom-boom!

[atmilkman]

Hellllooooo HM!

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! was good. 4 exclamation points too many. HM you gotta get rid of the capital B also. Takes too much time. From now on try boommmmmmm or boooooooom

[Storm]

970 to go for 44,000 hehe

I think it took an hour or so for the last 150.

[Deer Hunter]

I was asked to do it by a very influential person.

Yeah. Trying to catch up. Just saw where HM mentioned it. Wow, what a flurry of posts.

[atmilkman]

I think it took an hour or so for the last 150.

150 an hour is good.

[atmilkman]

We had 10 post in one minute.

[atmilkman]

How many minutes to get 1000 at 10 ppm.

[Storm]

150 an hour is good.

I didn't go back and check but it seemed pretty fast. At that rate we could hit 44K tonight.

[Storm]

Carry on folks, I haven't eaten lunch and I'm getting the hungrys.

[Rasty]

null

That would be hilarious! We'd have to start over!

[coach lou]

Ah, great, some of the dirty dozen is showing up.


We are never more than a click away!:D ....................................How do you think we got in the Dirty Dozen!

[Storm]

How many minutes to get 1000 at 10 ppm.

I would guess that at about 100 minutes

[atmilkman]

Carry on folks, I haven't eaten lunch and I'm getting the hungrys.
Later Storm, I think everybody is gonna drift away a bit.

[atmilkman]

I would guess that at about 100 minutes

We could just get everybody together before the shut down and hit that 44 easy.

[Astro]

ATM, good to know that you eating unreal food.

Should have been good to know that you are NOT eating unreal food.

[coach lou]

Oh my, I just realized I have been working thru 6 pages:( and I missed the K........I see that K got it !!!!!! Yea, K:D

[Rasty]

All this talk about internet attacks makes me laugh. I have had a Facebook account made in my name and most recently I have a craigslist stalker who doesn't like me. 100% certain it is a former employee that I fired. He/She said I have perpetual bed-head! I laughed my butt off!

[Storm]

Too bad I don't have more to say.

[Storm]

Anyone ever hear of some oil well park in NW Pa. ? name escapes me at the moment.

[Storm]

I will go look it up.

[Storm]

Be right back.

[Storm]

Should only take a minute or two.

Rice is cooked at a full simmer (180 to 190 degrees). The rice cooker can cook slower but the slow cooker cannot cook faster.

Seems the opening needing filling is Paula's mouth, with a sock. ...

[Driver8]

Paula will be missed.

Reckon she'll make a return before long. Will probably involve a confessional show with Barbara Walters or Oprah, whoever will take her.

[FarmerChef]

Seems the opening needing filling is Paula's mouth, with a sock. ...

LOL...couldn't stand her anyway. There was just something so wrong about advocating fried everything and then being the spokesperson for a pharmaceutical company selling diabetes drugs. But I digress...

[Driver8]

I haven't seen much of her. One of my sisters lives near her and has met her, said she's nice in person.

[coach lou]

MAX, I see you have come over to the Dark side and become a regular POHO!?:-?

[rocketsocks]

I leave for an hour and the post count drops down to 7 pph. You gotta do better than that. :)I went to the movies..."The road less traveled"...pretty good one too.

[Storm]

Found this site. Think I'll run over and go for a walk soon. http://friendsocsp.org/trails/hiking/ght.html

[Water Rat]

How long is the AT these days. i need to reach my Café cyberhike goal before my little walk. By the way WR, with your schedule you will have to walk real (or maybe snurreal) fast to catch me on your SOBO.

I still have to nail down exactly when I am leaving and how far I plan on hiking during this stroll. :D Besides, I could never catch up to ya, BB!

[Water Rat]

WR, thanks for pitching in. :)

You got it! ;)

[Water Rat]

Off to go throw dinner on the BBQ.

Have some Paula Deen Vidalia Onion dressing right now that is to die for. Friends got it for us from her restaurant in Savanna.

Just did burgers.

[Drybones]

It's where you hair is messed up like you just got out of bed.

Oh....that'd be me....not as bad as trail-head...at least bed-head doesn't have critters living in it.

[atmilkman]

Looks pretty cool. I'll bet during the middle of the week off season you'd pretty much have it to yourself.

I'd have pillow face except it would be from my knuckles.

That and her ending every sentence with 'yawl' drove me nuts. I don't mind the word 'ya'll' but her nasally pronunciation and gross overuse of it made it unwatchable for me.

Megan Kelly on Fox News said Paula was financially like Opra.

[atmilkman]

One thing I did like about Paula was that she liked butter. I love butter. Nothing I like more that butter on a butter sandwich.

[MDSection12]

Megan Kelly on Fox News said Paula was financially like Opra.
I sincerely doubt it. Oprah's got serious money.

[Drybones]

I'm not for calling anyone something that offends them but it's a bit crazy when the "N" word becomes more toxic than nuclear fallout. Shouldn't we have a "W" word for whitey, a "S" word for stupid, "F" for fat, skinny could share with stupid. I'm not for hurting anyones feelings but when saying a word gets more attention on the news than a murder it's been taken a little too far.

[Gray Blazer]

Now that Paula has moved aside, there should be more opportunities for Rasty.

Rasty, your destiny has arrived. Opportunity is knocking.

​Don't blow it.

Well, I did a lil research -- FH has been MIA for a while b/c he's in Hawaii vacationing with his family,
looks like a really good time for him. :)

Now, back to the regularly scheduled program... One more thing... don't forget to log off yourself at 10:00 tonight or get booted off? :o Thanks to Paula ..I mean RASTY for the heads up!

as it should be.the way it stands your hike is already tainted by your from the trail postings.

[hikerboy57]

I would think so.
If it's on Fox it must be true....
rasty spent a night with agent orange and engineer in gatlinburg, told me thats all they watched on tv was fox news.
theyre pretty much finished with their 2000k hike, their on a bus to chicago right now, had a package sent to my house when they return thru ny to germany.

No. Everything is second to milk.

[OzJacko]

hows the heat,oz? its supposed to stay hot for the next week or so, hows the water situation where you are?

It is hot but I have to admit that I don't seem as affected as most due to being more used to it. Water is scarcer but i start day with large amounts (over.a gallon out of Duncannon) and have no troubles.
The silly lites worry about water.

[Deer Hunter]

Oz, you've been gettin' in some high milage days lately. Have you found your groove so to speak?

[Astro]

Somehow I missed something. Is she gone gone?

Has not been around recently. Hopefully it is just that she is real busy at work.

[Astro]

Where's Astro?

Got busy with work. Missed this one and will probably miss a whole lot more over the next month.

[OzJacko]

Oz, you've been gettin' in some high milage days lately. Have you found your groove so to speak?

G'day DH.
I think I have.
Terrain since West Virginiia is much more like home. No sustained climbs.
Rocks don't bother me all that much.
Het annoying but not slowing me much.

[Astro]

Boom!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations on grabbing another HikerMom !!!

[Invisible Man]

I considered that, but there are two problems. The first being very complex involving the logistical problems of taking off, landing and wind vectors.

The second problem is it doesn't have a snazzy colour-based nickname :-\

[OzJacko]

Het =heat damn sap

[Astro]

Thanks guys... it was pure luck... always is, right?

No it is pure skill if hit, and just bad luck when you miss. ;)

[atmilkman]

23 minutes people. I heard if you stay logged on your device will start smoking like the old Mission Impossible tape recorders and the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

[Astro]

With so many playing the game now it's just luck. But like someone in baseball said "you gotta be lucky to be good and you gotta be good to be lucky".

Red Aurebach used to say luck is a talent. Generally the result of a lot of hard work and preparation to be in the right place at the right time.

[hikerboy57]

i was pretty certain you were investigating that possibility.

[OzJacko]

No matter how many miles my legs are up for I always find my biggest limiting factor is the soles of my feet protest at the end of fifteen miles.
Had the same problem on my Bib hike.

[hikerboy57]

Same for me. I can enjoy fifteen miles, but after that it becomes a mental exercise to continue. I can push on, but my feet protest the whole way.

My wife has OKed my plan to disappear into SNP for a few days next week... She's even threatening to come along! :)

I think that could be the ticket for getting her into hiking. The trail is a bit lackluster here locally so I don't think it'd have the same appeal.

Those words weren't associated with the world's most complex and large-scale slave trade system. Sorry, just not comparable. I'm not saying I agree with the way people are reacting to Paula's comments but I still don't think whitey, honky or cracker are even in the same ballpark.

Ewwwwwww. That's gross. Some might even say, TMI but...this is WB and we're talking the AT. It's perfectly acceptable conversation over beer battered onion rings. HB, I mean, waiter, over here. More rings please. With a side of toe jam. Or is it jelly?

Based on previous information, I believe you would have been eligible to regrow that leg if things had gone awry. Can we call you "Wolverine" or "The Doctor?"

I want to hike Old Rag, real soon, myself. If you guys hike it let me know what it's like. I'd like to hike it when the crowds are low....I've heard it's always crowded.

I did it a few years ago as part of my first backpacking trip (had done lots of 'hike in' camping with scouts but never a true backpacking trip) and let me tell you it is awesome! Without a doubt the single best day hike I've ever done. The summit is completely breathtaking, there is one rock that is the obvious peak and if you stand on that it is just an incredible 360 degree view. I've been to the summit of Killington and though it was taller I think Old Rag was cooler. The highlight is the Ridge Trail though, it is so much fun... Just a long rock scramble with lots of options for routes. Some spots are pretty serious, with large drops and just a small ledge to walk across. It is definitely not for those with a fear of heights. :)

The crowds are the problem. We did it in November (cold!) and on the way back up (more on that in a second) we were literally in a constant line of people the whole way. We would scramble over the more difficult routes to jump ahead, but still there'd be more line once we got past. For a while we were stuck behind a troop of young Boy Scouts... Love scouts but man that was brutal.

Here's a trick; you can camp just below the summit on the Saddle trail side near the Byrd's Nest Shelter, which we did. Most day hikers hike Old Rag from the Ridge trail over the summit then down the Saddle trail, so if you camp on the other side you can be up early and headed the opposite direction. This means you get to summit first, when crowds are minimal, and spend as much time as you want there then do the rock scramble down against traffic. We did this, but we left our gear at camp so we had to do an out and back on the ridge trail... The way back was not fun with the crowd. This time around I plan to do the same, but take our gear with us so we can just continue on from the far side of the Ridge trail.

I'm hoping that by doing it early, in reverse and during the week we can avoid most of the crowds, but I can report back to you on that sometime next week if you'd like.

I also was lucky enough to be shown a 'secret' spring on top of the mountain by a local guide... He was reluctant but we really needed the water so he showed us. I'm fuzzy on the details but if you'd like I'll make good notes when I go and relay the info to you. :)

Hope that all made sense. I just drank way too much Mountain Dew and I'm typing like a madman.

No breaks either, gotta be read in one sitting. If you are standing it doesn't count either. Laying down is OK, so long as you have hiking boots on.

Will do. I could try to tell you where the spring is now from memory, but details will be much more clear after I go remind myself. It was so cool, the guy was all hush hush and led us through some thick brush and there it was; an oasis near 3,000 feet. :eek:

I cannot recommend Old Rag enough though, I've been dying to get back since the minute I left. :)
