Holy cow it's a muggy day! Had to venture inside to the water source and drink about a gallon of water. Trying to make sure the yard is free of long grass, branches, etc for the upcoming 4th. Killer day to be out working in the yard, but it would a heck of a lot hotter around here if my idiot neighbors burned the place down with their fireworks...

We're supposed to get a good rain moving through tonight... That would actually make me happy! I have absolutely zero issues with people who properly blow off fireworks. I do have issues with the drunken neighbors who seem hell-bent on burning Maine down. These people make me happy it has been a very wet June.

The rain is just now starting here... Nice timing! I just decided to call it a day and was bringing in the last of the yard tools when the clouds let loose. The rain is helping the mugginess clear out a little for the evening. Nice night to sit out on the screened porch and taunt the black flies and mosquitoes! :D

I got 50 feet of 4mm, for hangin' and for the long cord for the hooch. I also got 60 feet of reflective cord. 2 pieces of 15' for use on the Hooch, and the rest 'just in case'. I've told you folks about my rope fetish? It is really bad, i may have to go to meetings if it gets any worse. It is a good thing I don't climb anymore. That stuff gets spendy. I only have one piece left.........150' x10mm....just as a keepsake, you understand.:(..............:D22308

And that is 1) If you're a tourist visiting someone else's community, and 2) a smoker, please dont be that ******* that throws their butts on the ground in front of someone...

There I am on Duke of Gloucester St locking up my bike when to go into the book store when a family walks by and dad tosses his half smoked cigarette on the ground in front of me. Now I usually keep to myself and am usually a relaxed person, but seeing that just pissed me off... how dare they bring their redneck asses up to my town and toss their trash. Before I knew what I was doing I called out to pops and told him he dropped his cigarette lound enough for all the other tourists to hear, and I stood there until he sheepishly walked back over and picked it up. *******!

A few years back my friends and I were standing outside a bar in Montauk in the early evening having a cigarette. A mother came by with her two young children. The younger one, probably around five years old turned to my friend and shouted "That's bad for you!" Without missing a beat, my friend looked at the kid and in a calm but stern voice replied "So is talking to strangers."

The mother yanked the kid by the hand and quickly walked him past us...

So much 80's music sucked but I still love it.

I remember when this song came out. It was playing on the radio. My sister started freaking out and yelling "what, what, where are you" when they got to the part where the woman is moaning. She thought one of her kids was yelling "Ma', Ma'". Listen to that part with that thought in mind.

100% agree. I've never been a fanatic over any bands (Except Blondie and The Go-Go's), but Smashing Pumpkins have always been one of my favorites.

Very good stuff. I like a lot of the grunge bands from the 90s and love Foo Fighters. As for Go-Go's, I wanted Belinda C bad back then and there. ...

A few years back my friends and I were standing outside a bar in Montauk in the early evening having a cigarette. A mother came by with her two young children. The younger one, probably around five years old turned to my friend and shouted "That's bad for you!" Without missing a beat, my friend looked at the kid and in a calm but stern voice replied "So is talking to strangers."

The mother yanked the kid by the hand and quickly walked him past us...

Great story, Elf! When are we getting the gang together for a schlep in the woods?

HYOH. At 1st I thought this was a feel good cliché. Given my OCD, I view most things as the best way and less than the best way. In the process, I have learned that there are many best ways depending on goals, comfort level, ability, preferences, etc. There is a best way... for me. Hopefully, I have found it.

People have strong opinions. I have been amazed how rabid people can be about things that are not that big a deal. I have little doubt, given some of my posts, that others could say the same about me. The Café has a good cross section of personalities. Those personalities have changed my way of viewing topics about hiking and in some respects people. Hopefully, that is noticeable.

There is more than one way to protect your food. This falls into my OCD habit of seeking the 1 best way of doing things. I researched the matter, read "expert" opinion, practiced the "best" method, and formed a view. Then I bumped into more than a few people on this site that have more experience than me that seemed to be flippant about protecting their food and bears. It started my 1st argument on this site. I humbly admit I was wrong. There is more than one way to protect your food and bears. No, I ain't gonna' start or participate in the details here.
