The key to cheesecake is slowly mixing. You don't want to beat any air into it.

I respectfully disagree. The more air in the material, the better the R-value. Plus, the softer the material will be to sleep on.

aghhh...I can't get away from it...went to a craft show this weekend, turned the corner, and there it was!18215

"its no baloney, it aint a phony,, cellular, modular, bananular......"

[Wise Old Owl]

See what you did there W.O.O.!

Every time I'm About to finally order a 1 man tent, some hammock hanger has to go and make me think that I should take that plunge instead! All these decisions make this hiking stuff overcomplicated.

A guy who admits to pack hoarding can clearly afford a hammock - suggest an ultra light Hennessy with tree straps and a 3/4 underquilt from Stormcrow.

It's the Whiteblaze prom as far as the girls are concerned. You guys seem to be the only ones who object!:D

[Wise Old Owl]

Oh that's Sarcasms pic from his favorites - I was trying to figure out how the doggie pack fits the cat!

[turtle fast]

A true hiking cat....not one like Ziggy who rode atop a pack. ;)

[Sarcasm the elf]

A guy who admits to pack hoarding can clearly afford a hammock - suggest an ultra light Hennessy with tree straps and a 3/4 underquilt from Stormcrow.

I will have you know that every one of those packs got used this year. :p

Maybe if I sell the Gregory z55 and the Osprey exos, then I'll have some cash to look into hammocks.

That's my girlfriend's cat She is not part of the pack setup, she is simply the self proclaimed proprietor of the establishment.:D

[Wise Old Owl]

And Sarcasm this is the cafe - not SNL and damn - I share your enthusiasm, I wish I had that collection... Put the cat on the top and let it enjoy the scenery! go get a trial hammock!

[OzJacko]

Apologies to anyone who has received an email from me earlier today.
My email was hacked - am doing recovery/apologies.....:(

[Wise Old Owl]

Sorry to hear that, I am working with a new product called Trend internet Titanium and wow - its stopped me twice from opening known stuff on my email - it clearly identifies websites and allows you to trust some sites to speed things up. I can honestly say it's a good product and I prefer this over Norton.

[hikerboy57]

the only problem i have with my email is all the letters from nigeria and robert mueller, director of the fbi(although he apparently has no grasp of english syntax)promising me millions of dollars. ive been recently getting a lot of spam regarding goldfish and how they can help my sex life.cant figure that one out. i prefer women

[HikerMom58]

It's the Whiteblaze prom as far as the girls are concerned. You guys seem to be the only ones who object!:D

They all have something against proms... go figure. :( I can't dance either but it's still fun to try. :D

This is a good week for HikerMom. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up Carry on & Eagle Eye.. 2 gurls that only have under 200 miles to finish-SOBO. They started with 5 gurls but now it's down to just these 2. I can't wait to meet them. I'm going to take them to the post office etc...then, they are staying here with us at the house. I'm going to be slackpackin them all the way to Rt. 311. The weather was crappy today but the sun is comin out tomorrow and it's supposed to be in the high 60's as they hit Tinker Cliffs and McAfee Knob... :D I love meeting new people!!!!!!!!!

[hikerboy57]

why dont we just call it something simple, like "the event the name of which cannot be spoken"

[HikerMom58]

That's not simple:rolleyes:...... we could just call it "the wicked good event" ... everyone up North thinks everything is "wicked good".

[hikerboy57]

north virginia?

[HikerMom58]

Ha ha!! north virginia would be NOVA... northern virginia. :p I'm talkin up they-a...in Maine! I miss that accent- A-ya.

[Wise Old Owl]

Uh yea I can do that!

Wait what is a little time amongst freinds?

[hikerboy57]

Uh yea I can do that!
man you might even convert me to hammocks!
good tidings indeed.

[Wise Old Owl]

Well I did not do that, I simply - (as a salesperson) pointed out the obvious. Really there wasn't any harm in that.

I went to my Prom in my dads Corvette. That would be a nice ride up to Maine...but, then Oz and his son would really have a tight squeeze in a 2 man, and we could only fit Jakes pack.:D

Just finished my second dancing lesson.
I am certain that if I make the Prom night, I will be a "wallflower" for any dancing.

Just a quick update to explain my brief popins.
Have been very busy with work and nonwork issues.
Somebody hacked my email and I've just had Daniel totally scan and debug computer over last 2 days.
No real harm done as seems they just sent some spam to all my contacts (some I haven't had contact with for over 10 years).
We are in process of tidying and "fixing" things around home as someone will be unavailable to do any of that for 6 months next year.:rolleyes:
In addition we are going through a spate of doing things that we couldn't do before as we had a lonely dog at home, e.g. went to a ballet performance last night.
Dancing lessons, ballet....and I bet y'all thought Australians were uncouth.
Let me tell you - I got couth in bucketloads....:D

Oz,
You can relax...dancing is not required at this prom (unless you step in a yellow jacket nest). Most likely the only one dancing will be this little guy :banana:banana:banana

I do recommend that we ask Feral Bill to provide the music. Check out his resume on the trail songs thread! :D

Hey, if Oz wants to show off his new moves - Let him. Then we can call it "Dance Your Own Dance!" :) Doesn't matter what it looks like as long as the person doing it A) Has fun
B) Doesn't hurt anyone/themselves
C) Is not chased by wild animals as a result of dancing their own dance. That just implies animal abuse.

Is that part of your Trail training? Tutus considered ultralight or just "light"? How ya gonna stay on yer toes whilst hiking the MUDs and PUDs????

I'd buy a bucket o' that - I need some!!! I'm a Texan. We pronounce it "cooof", as in: "Ain't cha got no cooof?"

I don't think camo is a good idea. It would make your upper half look like you were dismembered from the bottom half. Might scare even those taciturn Mainers.

My goodness, lotsa chat again while I was out trying to run cars off the road with my truck.
All this talk of Captain Kangaroo which thankfully I've never seen.
Australians have grown up for 50 odd years with Play School. The most successful Australian show ever in meeting the requirements of it's target audience - preschoolers.
Thankfully the success of Sesame Street here hasn't got the whole population ending an alphabet recital with "zee" instead of the correct pronunciation of "zed".:D

Bunny Rabbit was, like, the coolest guy on the show. Check out the glasses

Is the Captain teaching him not to suckle on the teat of the thermostat? TIPI would be proud.

A ten day hike in just under ten days??? You guys need to slow down! You can't smell the flowers! Your packs are too heavy, I mean too light. How much food would you take?

[Wise Old Owl]

you and i will set a new record by hiking a ten day hike in just under ten days. the previous record for a ten day hike was ten days.supported or unsupported

Working on that now for work. They currently don't have an approved NC distributor but I'm trying to get some for a special dinner for next year. New Zealand is not known for Bordeaux style red wines but Alpha Domus makes excellent wine. You may need to add a packet of cherry Jello to yours!:p

Uh, no, sorry...we already covered this. Wearing camo makes that body part effectively "disappear"...in a camo poncho you would look like a disembodied head walking around - too bizarre!

Yes. The banned camo item was a camo cumberbund which would make your mid-section disappear. The rules committee met and decided a that only having a head visible would be OK.

Yes. The banned camo item was a camo cumberbund which would make your mid-section disappear. The rules committee met and decided a that only having a head visible would be OK.

With my ugly mug, maybe I'd better just wear a camo head covering, so my head will disappear and not scare the ladies. Plus the above cummerbund. OK, OK, I'll wear clothing as well.

It doesn't matter what I plan to wear - my wife won't let me out to play anyway. It's all I can do to get her to agree to another thru-attempt in 2016. Ya'll have fun.
