Spent the morning running the dogs on the horse trails at the barn, I was hiking, my girlfriend was on horseback.
Then I went out for a few hours to hike/play in the snow on the Paugussett, one of our local Connecticut "Blue" trails. I was surprised to see that I wasn't the first set of food prints in the snow on the trail, there were two sets of tracks ahead of me, one human, one canine.

After an hour and change I came across a heavyset fellow in jeans, sneakers and a sweatshirt with his very happy dog in tow, both of whom were hiking at a speed that put my already fast pace to shame. They had turned around to head back to their house, which is the only reason I caught up with them!

When I got back home I found my girlfriend preparing some venison which is now cooking in the oven after first having been braised in cast iron and drown in red wine.

All in all it was a good day.

I once broke one of my cheap Wal-Mart poles on a section hike. I didn't wanna carry the damn thing back to the trailhead, so I burned it in the fire pit. :)

Making my pecan pie recipe (brown, white sugar, molasses, karo, vanilla, bourbon, pinch of salt, pecans) and putting all the ingredients except the eggs in a nalgene - - I'm going to put it in my pack later this week (along with 2-3 eggs in a little egg holder thing) along with some bisquick. After burning a nice fire down to coals, I'm going to make a bisquick pie crust (using a fuel bottle as a rolling pin), grease up the Banks Fry Bake, add the eggs to my mix and pour in. I'm then going to put the lid on, place it in the coals and shovel some hot coals on top (along with a little stick fire) and serve it to my friends (may end up being breakfast). If it doesn't work, I'm taking two gallon zip-locks to haul the whole mess out. Yall think it will work? Ideas from the Cafe Chefs?

Did you ever have one of those "Backcountry Ovens" - - when they were around, I was on an exclusive diet of ramen, peanut butter, potatoes and oatmeal - thought they were silly - now, I'd like to try one (just for a weekend trip or something)

Mountain Mike

a few days in from resupply when you can make pizza is a real morale boost. It's basically a fry pan with a lid, heat diffuser & fiberglass dome.

Papa D
12-30-2012, 20:14
oh - yeah - that's what I meant to say. "outback oven" - - I forgot what they were called - - sort of a collapsable box thing - like a sideways wood burning stove, right?

We tried making pizza on one of those Bakepacker ovens once. It was awful! The crust was like vulcanized, while the sauce was still cold. I don't think it was user error since we bought their packaged mix & followed directions to the letter. Took that sucker back to REI at the first opportunity.

I usually make pizza without the lid on & just the dome.

Have a terrible sinus/head cold and trying to decide if ok to beg off going to party where 95% of people are smokers. Would be fun otherwise.

it looks like you went off line but when that happens

I mix zertec-sudafed and then chase with a zinc meltaway. - clears me up in half an hour.... The booze kicks in after that

yea I left that out - Routers sip power - mine is on a ups but a 12volt universal down to 5volts would power the router too.
Might look at something along those lines when we move house but power failures around here are uncommon and not usually for long.
Normally an excuse to go shopping.
Our power company pay us a penalty (about $80) if power off for more than 24 hours (I think).
We got one payment from them last year.
No other power failures for more than half an hour for years.

Did you notice he's carrying a chicken by the ankles?
I think if this keeps up we can start a new religon and Rasty will be High Priest.
Think of the tax benefits...

Yes! Good old NC tobacco!
Inside the house.
I don't know what all of them do in private the rest of the time :rolleyes:

We may need some new tax breaks next year. But I think the whole chicken religon thing is covered by the Rastaferians and Voodoo groups.

Do folks in NC still smoke that much? 13 years tonite.....

Never will forget a cartoon I once saw, said entering North Carolina - Smoking Zone. When my parents moved there 21 years ago I remember people smoking in the grocery stores. Would not be suprised if it has the highest smoking rate in the USA.

I think most of the Virginia tobacco is exported for really cheap cigarettes.

Smoking is banned practically everywhere here.
Public transport, shopping centres, the entire grounds of hospitals, your own car if you have children in it....you get the drift.

Cigarettes are HEAVILY taxed.
I believe a packet of 25 costs about $20 ($1OZ =$1.04US).
Also we now have "plain packaging" laws.
All packets only have standard font name, a green colour and gruesome pictures of what smoking can do to you.

Oz, Happy New Year! It is neat being ahead of the rest of the world. I remember when my son was born in Singapore and we called my parents in the USA and told them you have a new grandson born "tomorrow".

Many years back a couple of red neck men walked into Circuit City with open beer and the Manager almost had a heart attack - she confronted the drunks and asked them to leave... Never saw anyone try to smoke in the store though.

I think the weirdest thing will be coming back.
We will lose a day.
Going there looks like giving me a St Patrick's Day that an Irishman would love - over 30 hurs of it!

Almost did that for my wife and oldest son's birthday (born on same day 30 years apart) when we returnded from Singapore. Could have been their "longest birthday" ever, but wife thought being on planes that long would not be a positive memory, so I chose another day.

Actually as I go - about accents.
There's one 2013 TJ (about 30+entries, well down the list) of a couple on trail next oops this year.
They write "our" as "are".
e.g. "are tent".
I can hear the southern accent every time I read it.:D

There are many different Southern accents. Depends on the area. I'm fluent in most.
