Ouch! I hope that you are healing up...


it was nice for my kids to realize that they were less wimpy
than their cousins.

This made me laugh! I'm sure that you are right on target though!

Hang in there, you'll be back on track in no time!

get off your big fat butt and go work out.

sheesh.

Oh, like, "shut up and lift"? Got it. Thanks.

no, like "get off your big fat butt and go work out."

it's the same advice i'd give myself, or anyone else.

you've gotta get back into it sometime - why wait?

Must be no tent campers in FL. We always sought out campgrounds that
catered to tenters so we wouldn't have to listen to all the noise from
generators. iirc, the one place that allowed them required them to be shut
off by ten pm. I like quiet when I camp s

Generators? Nope - electrical plug ins.

There were campers. Most had multiple large box fans that they had
setup to get the air circulating. I even saw one with a portable A/C
unit. When the coolest it gets is 80degrees, you need something to
keep the body cool....

This campground had both electric and water hookups. I personally
prefer to have the electric, especially if we are camping for more
than a few days. But for just a weekend campout, as long as here is
water at the site to do dishes, I'm good with cooking by campfire and
lighted by candles or lanterns.

Amazing. Now I think I know why my husband left FL. The *high* here is
rarely 80 :-P

I liked the electric hookup myself. I always have to read before I can
sleep.

I just hadn't thought through what I'd do if a brother handed me a
tequila shooter, salt shaker and piece of lime and a bunch of 40 year
olds started chanting my name until I drank. Hmmm. Great example we
set for our gaggle of teen-agers!

Oh, I guess that's where I lucked out this weekend.... we didn't
bring any alcohol, other than that found in bug spray.

Damn, what's the point? : )

Even when I backpack for a week at a time, I bring a flask of
bourbon....Actually, I haven't done a hardcore backpacking trip for about
four years, but I used to do one to two weeks at a time backpacking in the
wilderness. It's an amazing experince, one where you push yourself way past
any limits you had before. I would like to do some mountaineering next year,
which will probably the only thing close to a two-week backpacking trip.
It's an amazing thing......

Yes, backpacking is an amazing thing. You see things that one can only see
if they are willing to travel by foot over rough terrain. But I'm surprised
that you think there's no point if alcohol isn't involved...For one, when i
backpack, if it ain't absolutely neccessary, it doens't go in the pack. I'd
way rather have an extra pair of dry socks than a flask. Also, alcohol
makes me sleepy and dehydrated - not really great for demanding hikes...
