[hikerboy57]

Holding ears covered: "LALALALALALA" I don't want to hear that.... I fall into HB's age group. Old enough to know better, but still do.

[Wise Old Owl]

Uh lalalalallalalalalalalalllallala Idounnnnno!

[hikerboy57]

squee.
i did it. i got sucked in, i had a $50 rei card i bought on line for $1.68, so i stopped there on the way home to buy some opsak lopsak odorproof bags for my trip this weekend.as i stood there deciding how many to buy, i couldnt help but notice a glow coming from the adjacent aisle.so i walked around to see a selction of water filters and among them a golden aura surrounded the sawyer sqeeze. my eyes couldnt pull away from its simple design, as well as incredible weight savings.i picked it up saw 3 ounces-3 ounces!and i knew i was in trouble.i put it back on the rack and went about seeing if i needed anything else for the trip, but i couldnt stop thinking about it--3 ounces!! so needless to say although its not a SILWF, i am now the proud owner of a sawyer squeeze.

My favorite part of the book..."You're not going to like it...."

I remember what your user name means... is it different from ur trail name?

[joshuasdad]

I remember what your user name means... is it different from ur trail name?

Trailname is 42. Just a number that has followed me around my whole life, and since I am (or a least was) an engineer it sort of fits.
It is also a number that is very relevant to the trail (for example, look at the termini of the trail). Also, I have the answer (42), but am on a long, seemingly endless quest (hike) to find the question.

On the rare times I need to share the trail name, I usually get confused stares. But it beats explaining the user name by far.

One of my friend's coworkers actually has his kids convinced that the above statement is true. I can't wait to hear about it when they finally figure out that it was a lie.

its so funny how we all like the same music - obviously, I like this last Neil Young one (It's called Natural Beauty) too - I did listen to it for a whole year living in the bed in the back of my pickup truck though so it sort of reminds me of living on the road and not to be honest the greatest parts - flat tires, asphalt, rain, truck stop showers and so forth. I still love the song though - what a pretty trail song - thanks for posting

It's a real eye opener when you look at so many of the comments from younger people on YouTube pertaining to music from our era, and they all go something like this "wish I was around back then, modern music sucks, etc."

Might be a good weekend for Greyson Highlands for me, or I will just default to near Pearisburg.

OK.
Update time.
After 6 months of telling me that I can have 7 months leave without pay, my boss told me a few days ago that Melbourne administration have told him they can't keep my job open that long.
After discussion with my wonderful wife, we decided that we are in a position that I can cease fulltime work.
I may return to some kind of employment after I return although I am not motivated to do so even before my hike, but we have no definite plans and I am certainly not looking for fulltime work again.
At most I will do some oddjobs or very short term work. Most likely I will do some hobby/craft things that make some money when we do market stalls.
So for want of a better term I am "retiring" on 5th March.
I am very happy.;):D

Sounds like you got a graet wife. I have too myself. I retired 18 months ago. It was at a 50% rate. My wife and I discussed it and she has long known my dream and said just quit the sock mill and get ready to go. So that's what I did. The difference at 50% now and 100% at 65 is the same till age 75. Only after that does it start to pay more. But who's to say if I make it that far or what physical shape I'd be in. I'm not the pillar of physical fitness, but right now I'm in good enough shape to give it a go.

[OzJacko]

Oz, you have to live life, go for it.
Thanks Coach.

In Oz many retired couples join what are called the "grey nomads".
These are couples who buy a big 4WD and a caravan or an RV and drive around Australia on a holiday that takes anything from 6 months to 10 years.
Met lots of them over the years.
Never once met one who said "I wished I'd stayed at work a few more years".

My wife is the absolute best.
She is a few years younger than me and currently earning more than me.
The real question about our future is how much longer before she joins me.
We should have a good idea if it is a few more months or a few more years when I get back.

I'm off to land of nod again (bedroom has good air conditioner).
Just had to buy a new Evernew 1.3l pot as for over 3 months have searched and not found the old ones lid.:(
As I have a TiTri Caldera Cone sized for that pot, decided to get a new one.
Murphys Law dictates that I will find missing lid before new pot arrives.;)

[atmilkman]

Yes we will be getting US cellphones - 1 each and through Verizon based on a years worth of reading cell phone threads.
Will PM numbers to lots of cafe members.
Leaving my phone in Oz.
I'll PM you mine before you leave. Then just give me a call when you get yours. I too switched to Verizon based on everybody's recommendation here and already I'm glad I did. I can notice a difference here in FL when we get out in the Management Areas.

As a rule of thumb draw a line horizontally across the map a bit above the widest point of the country.
The coast line above the line has saltwater crocodiles and you should be careful about swimming there to the point of NOT swimming there.
Below the line you only have to watch out for sharks, "rips" and along the south coast "king" waves.:p
Just about everything more than 100 mile from the coast is hot to bluddy hot most of the time.
The rest of the country is great except for the snakes, spiders, ants, flies and the fact that over 20 million of us cram into that bit.:D

hey, Mr. "walk in the woods" did a number on the AT AND on Australia.

Next time you visit ask them about hiking around the Eno River state park or the Little River Gorge north of Durham. Very pretty day hikes.

[Astro]

Probably mess with you less in a tent (of course assuming your food bag is not in it).

[Astro]

OK.
Update time.
After 6 months of telling me that I can have 7 months leave without pay, my boss told me a few days ago that Melbourne administration have told him they can't keep my job open that long.
After discussion with my wonderful wife, we decided that we are in a position that I can cease fulltime work.
I may return to some kind of employment after I return although I am not motivated to do so even before my hike, but we have no definite plans and I am certainly not looking for fulltime work again.
At most I will do some oddjobs or very short term work. Most likely I will do some hobby/craft things that make some money when we do market stalls.
So for want of a better term I am "retiring" on 5th March.
I am very happy.;):D

Interestingly David Allan Coe originally wrote it, but Johnny Paycheck (stage name playing off of Johnny Cash) had the hit with it. Story I heard was DAC was watching some firemen put out a fire and a friend asked him how we would like to do that for a living, and he replied with the name of the song. DAC had been frustrated that he never capitalzied on Lord Help Me Jesus (Kris Kistofferson), so this time he followed thru and wrote the song. Supposedly DAC already a bad reputation (prison, etc.) and the thought was Johnny Paycheck (better reputation, at least at that time) could get more airplay and general public acceptance out of it.

Milkman,
I look at that as a bet you can not loose. You come up financially short only if you live past 75, and if you do that, hey you are still alive! And look at the improved quality of life you will have over those 10 years between 55-65. And in between doing what you want, if you really wanted (or needed) to, you could probably pick up some type of other work for the 50% if necessary.

I sort of did the same thing taking a signifcant pay cut going from industry to being a college professor for the additional flexibilty and reduced workload to spend more time with my 4 children. They are not going to care that much about all the free time I have when I am officially retired and they are grown. For what it is worth from the Cafe's resident business professor, it sound like you made a great financial (and quality of life) decission. Congratulations to you also!

Eye ball beans are blackeyed peas.

That is what I thought. My mom always made them NYD (and lot the rest of the year along with purple hulls which she also grew in her garden). My wife is from Indiana, so we only get these now when I buy and make them. I appreciate you bringing it up. I will have to do it next year so my children will at least be exposed to our old southern family traditions. Will need to make some cornbread to go with it too.

Koalas aren't bears

True, and their noses are really soft. They are marsupials and live a pretty laid back life (basically just eating and sleeping a lot). I do not believe Pandas are bears either, but alot of people assume they are.

Oz, it is an awesome country despite the preadators you mention. We spent 3 weeks there in 1998 (only way I could convince my wife to stay with me through the end of the project in Singapore). IMO you have the best tour guides of any of the nearly 30 countries I have been to. If your and Daniel's experience in the USA is close to what ours was, you will have a gerat time (and with 6 months on the AT, why wouldn't you).

Sir, We have no close combat or pugil sticks here in the Cafe'. Ask away, the worst that will happen is you'll laugh along with us or you may become a post Ho and try to catch Train Wreck.
One of the questions is something along the lines of what is a campsite?
And yes to atmilkman, that is so true.

It's like a campground without a swing set.

Is it possible that "What is a campsite" is some sort of existential question? Maybe we're not deep enough to understand what the real question is.

I haven't read it yet....I smelled a rat at first look and past it by. Besides...I'm trying to get to a G-note in the Cafe' before the NHL resumes play.
As I may have said in one or two 'office hours', I will research that sir, and return with something.:-?

Has anyone seen the new swing @ Silver hill campsite in Connecticut? Nice, large and heavy duty construction. The view is getting grown in though

Don't Over Think It.

Whoever designed that thing was not kidding around, that swingset is massive! More importantly, who did they convince to carry those supplies up to the campground, err, campsite?

[atmilkman]

Where's coach. I know he's hiding in here somewhere.

I believe that road that you cross as you ascend from the south, circles around and then is close from the SW.
