Where's the worlds smallest big screen? The 'lympics are on.
Damn, they're nice cookies.
I'll have some water to wash 'em down..

[Rasty]

Thanks! Anyone want a cookie? I brought individual bags of chocolate chip cookies... Help yourselves! How is the wave pool coming along?

Pool is taking a while. Someone keeps SILWF filtering all the Chlorine out.

[rocketsocks]

So which thread had all the excitement yesterday.....I need a good laugh!

Mind if I wander in to the Cafe for a bit? I was just getting caught up on the drama that unfolded on another thread... *sigh* That will teach me to wander away from my computer and go kayaking.

Never did get to resolve the E.T. vs. Alf question...

E.T. all the way. With Alf there is a risk that Joey Lawrence will show up!

I hadn't even thought of that scary thought! Great, now there IS something to be scared of on the trail!! I am glad E.T. will be able to whisk me away from that Alf character... He seems to have questionable friends.

OzJacko - Thanks! I used filtered water in the recipe... Not from the pool, though! I have seen what y'all have done in that pool! :eek:

We need to work with service training for the bartender.

I saw her leaning against the wall with one hand in her pocket, the other touching her face, white socks with black pants and chewing gum. :D

Hey, ya asked my advice. Oops... I guess I forgot to mention I can be a smarta$$. Maybe I should put that in my signature? :)

How did ya hike the chlorine in here anyway? Isn't that heavy?

[Rasty]

Welcome to the Cafe where being a smart a$$ is required and there is a test at the door.:D

[Water Rat]

Wow - Fancy place! You have a door! :)

[Rasty]

How did ya hike the chlorine in here anyway? Isn't that heavy?

A very long hose and a hot air balloon. We kept the balloon heater to heat the Cafe.

[Rasty]

Wow - Fancy place! You have a door! :)

Well....It has a zipper!

[Water Rat]

Uh-oh - Does that mean it is a tent? There are those who say tents are a bad thing...

Can we use the balloon heater to heat the wave pool? I mean, after we get the pH balance right on the pool. And we keep Lochte out of said pool.

No. Its a structure but the clientele can't figure out how to use a door knob on account of all the Filtered water bingeing. That's a great idea for a pool heater now its dual use. We should keep Lochte out of the pool. Between one night stands and peeing he's trouble.

And to think Hikerboy was worried about the cafe in his absence. With such fine upstanding friends what could go wrong?

When is HB back? He's missed a lot.

[rocketsocks]

Redneck pool heater! Love it.On a recent trip to Providence, RI, there was some large fire pans in the canal, when I inquired, I was told that every now and again they are filled with wood, and set a Blaze, not sure it's to heat the water, but rather a kinda of a firework show for passers by....it's a big deal, I would have like to have seen this and heard the bands that attend there firewater events, Cool1695416955

[rocketsocks]

When did you find time to watch Caddyshack? I mean, with all the beach volleyball being played... :)

I like the house, seems like a real nice place to hang out, but it needs a Pepsi machine out front, that has beer in it also, for those that partake.

[Water Rat]

I am surprised WOO wants this design. There doesn't seem to be enough hammock-hanging space. Or, is that located inside?

[rocketsocks]

One thing is for sure, we wouldn't have to post signs like this in the common strip of grass between the sidewalk and the road.16963

I wonder if they might double as kickboards? Good water toys are a must!

It seems your plane has become a water toy...

Yeah, but how do they do in fresh water? Might be a pretty short swim for them. Then again, I did notice BBQ on the porch of the cabin.

Oops. Who knew? In the event of a water landing did your seat become a floatation device?

[rocketsocks]

Oops. Who knew? In the event of a water landing did your seat become a floatation device?No, I lashed 15 empty bottles of Tequila around my waist and drifted all the way to my present locations here at white blaze, which is now my permanent home. I think the watery grave I narrowly escaped might have been a better fate.:D

Stuck here with EMPTY bottles of tequila??? Yeah, water might've been the way to go! :)

The space for hammocks is in the basement, right next to my bed. My mom makes my bed every day remember!

D'OH! :rolleyes: I had forgotten that bit of info. Does she put mints on your pillow? What about on the hammocks?

Oh! Absolutely! The mints for the hangers have a little string attached to them!

Probably a wise idea! Especially when we shoot the rapids in the cabin. Woooo-hooooooo!

Uh-oh... I think rocketsocks is drooling over the beach volleyball again. We seem to need some of those "wet floor" signs for the puddle he is making. Get the man a bib! It can be made out of cuben fiber.

I was surfing once and had a 12" shark fin surface about 10' away from me closer to the beach. I looked around and 20' to my other side where four of five dolphins. They must have been chasing the shark. I was in my kayak so it wasn't that scary. I'm just glad I didn't become their volleyball.

[Water Rat]

Makes me think of "Bruce" from Finding Nemo.

"I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food."

Jaws rocked! I always rooted for the shark...

[Rasty]

Hey everyone! Clean up the place, maybe put some clothes on! I invited HikerMomKD to the cafe. Maybe she can teach Rocket Socks to surf in the wave pool (No Sharks and only a few barracuda)! I offered her someplace to stay in the basement of the floating cafe!

I'm a land lover, but sail boats are like land, right?....just hate sittin/baking on the beach, doin nothin, just kiiling time. Would much rather hike in the woods....but hey going to the beach this month, cause I'm a good guy...I guess. i hate the F$%#@ beach!..ain't life a beach

I agree sitting on the beach is boring. I don't tan at all! If I burn I peel then have a whiter layer underneith. The best time to go to the beach is October to December and March to the begining of May when no one is in the water except for surfers and sometimes Canadians.

[Rasty]

[Water Rat]

I love the beach! Awesome for surfing, kayaking, swimming... I can't sit there and bake in the sun. Tan pretty well, but that is a genetic thing. I don't sit around and try for it. Then again, I love the mountains! I guess I just love to be outdoors...

Rastrailkis! Stop BBQing the eels and help clean! Sheesh!

[Water Rat]

How did I end up putting an "L" in your name? My apologies, rastraikis! Still, stop chewing on that eel!

Ya just won't catch me drooling over the women's beach volleyball. Now, the male swimmers... Well, that is different! Okay, and if the guys were doing as well as the women in beach volleyball. But, sadly, that is not the case.

What is this-a tom boy kind of thing? your suppossed to fill out the "about me"

[Water Rat]

Well, I did put my name in the "about me" section. Just really hesitant to fill out a whole lot of personal info. I have had a stalker, and the internet makes it way too easy for the stalkers of the world to find people. :(

Not really a tom boy, though I have played sports and love to be outdoors. I guess, if that is your definition of being a tom-boy, then yeah... But, I just see myself as a gal who loves to be outdoors.

[Water Rat]

Ohhhhh... Wait! I forgot to check the box that says "yes" for got boobs. Silly me.

I just stopped by cuz you guys were having so much fun, and there was so much arguing going on in the rest of the threads. Honestly, I thought you knew when I baked cookies and brought them by the other day. I promise to not put any curtains in the shelters...

I bake cookies for a living! Does that make me a girl? Man, now I'm going to have to rethink this entire chef career thing! Maybe I could wrestle bull sharks or something? Probably doesn't pay much.:)

[Water Rat]

Well, then bring more cookies on over! OzJacko ate the last of 'em.

Nope. Doesn't mean your a girl if ya bake cookies, but how many guys will just bring them with them when they stop by the cafe? :)

I would! But only if they have money to purchase them. That's the difference.:)

[Water Rat]

Okay, that is a good point. I just happened to have a few extra cookies from my baking. Decided to individually package them and bring them on by. Guess that means I have to bake more cookies! Rocketsocks will need to eat something so we can scare him with eels/alligators/sharks/polar bears/__________.

No those are two words that scare Rocketsocks.

[Water Rat]

Ah, I see... Will have to remember that for future reference. Now, back to the cabin... Do we really have to clean? That is just no fun! I wanted to get the kayaks out and play a bit.

The word "Clean" is subjective. We have a squeege in the corner to push stuff into the pool. What kind of kayaking?

[Water Rat]

Well, since the cabin appears to be on a river... :) Any kind of kayaking is good kayaking!

Right now, I only have a whitewater and a recreation kayak. Will probably add a good sea kayak next year.

Of course, whitewater rafting is always a good time, too!

Not to many Marines on the southern part of Topsail. They mainly stick to North Topsail Beach which is closer to Jejeune. I have seen them coming in with amphibius landing craft north of the Topsail inlet.

I'm only about 75% with Eskimo rolls. It's really hard to hold onto a paddle in any waves bigger than about 6' to 7', forget about trying to roll after wiping out on a 10' beach break wave. Your lucky to even be in the boat at that point. Big waves will kick you out of the boat and your spray skirt will be around your ankles. Ocean surfing rolls are more about flowing with the flow of the wave to right your self than traditional rolls. If the waves are breaking in real shallow water you have to let go of the paddle and protect your neck for when you hit the sand upside down.

From what I've seen in the news reports about surf kayaking there's one real danger. Breaking your neck while upside-down. I should wear a helmet but I'm not real smart.

At the time I used inferior luaun instead of the recommend Marine Oakum at a savings of about 40 dollars a sheet at the time. It was a great project to cut my teeth on (wooden boat building) and the stitch and glue design went together very easy. The build time for that (they say) is about 40 hrs. excluding drying times, though it took me a couple years of just piddle-in around. I'd like to build another one some day, and use some good grade wood that wont delaminate over time. Never took the boat in the bay or river, as a rock would open it up like a cheap tin can, so the protected waters of a lake or pond is where I'd fish. I gotta find some pics of me old yak.

Bushwalk is probably the most common.

For good (but Tasmanian focused) info on hiking in Australia this guy's pretty good. http://www.john.chapman.name/
Backpacking is another but is also used for travelling in general by young people - predominantly in Europe.
Not much I can say about hiking in heat - I don't.
Hot here is #@&%@# hot.
In Tasmania and the "alpine" regions of Victoria and New South Wales hiking season is spring to summer like the AT region.
In Western Australia (the southwest at least) it is autumn to spring. In summer is the time to walk airconditioned shopping centres.
Anyone interested I heartily recommend my local track as a great 7 week holiday and PM me for info.

This is what happens when a Pitbull Fails...... 16976

Daaaaang! No thanks! It was bad enough pulling 26 quills out of my poor dog's head. She now thinks evil squirrels bite with their butts.

Is there really a dog under all those quills??? Kinda looks more like a pin cushion.

That's one determined dog.

[Water Rat]

"Determined" is not the word that springs to my mind...:rolleyes:

[Water Rat]

[Water Rat]

I know I am relatively new here, but I have a question... Bear canisters. Just how do you get the bear IN the canister? Doesn't that pi$$ them off?

[Sarcasm the elf]

I thought it was a joke at first. Wow.

Looks like they took the spam down. When I saw the subject line I was gullible enough to think someone was asking a hiking question...

But that might add too much weight to the pack... Definitely not posted by someone who adheres to the laws of UL backpacking!

[Water Rat]

Well, I could saunter if the bear went in the canister face-first. A slinky-shaped bear might take a few moments to regain their senses...

[Sarcasm the elf]

In that scenario, you'll be fine as long as you don't run downhill...

[Hairbear]

In that scenario, you'll be fine as long as you don't run downhill... lmal nice touch.........

[Hairbear]

lmal nice touch......... dam the sausage fingers ......edit lmao

[rocketsocks]

In that scenario, you'll be fine as long as you don't run downhill...Or alone or in pairs, and make a slinkety sound, a spring a spring, a wonderful thing...every loves a slinky bear. :D

i liked ....the masses of mankind lead lives of quiet desperation....you can see it in our livesThere are just so many great lines, I'm gonna have to listen to this several times just to really grasp all that he's saying. As soon as I hear something good, and digest it, he's on to yet another wordy rant, about another group...great book, lots of words I need to look up, I'm glad people don't talk like that anymore.....then again maybe we should, hehe. I think he's rubbing off on me.

[Water Rat]

I wonder if there will be a lot of people listing "vibrator" on their gear list for the next little bit. Just to get a rise out of the rest of us. :)

[rocketsocks]

People leave quite a few things off of gear list.No Doubt.....lest there #'s rise

[rocketsocks]

Man ol' HB has got some catch up reading to do....lets not let him down.

[Water Rat]

He will probably never leave again... It'll take him too long to get back up to speed AND he will wonder what the heck was in the (supposedly) filtered water!

[rocketsocks]
