Great day hiking at LBJ National Grasslands. Hardly anyone there. Only person I spoke with was a FS ranger. She was checking some flowers, I mentioned some neat ones on the far side of the next mesa. She said yes, those only bloom every few years…
Quote from odd man out: “my old Toro mower died last spring. The mower worked fine but the self propel drive belt would not stay on. So I replaced it with a battery powered electric mower. It's so much lighter than a ICE, it seems like a toy. I have…
Wow! 70 degrees, not a cloud, light breeze, and a weekend. Went for a walk at our favorite local park (maybe 1.5 miles). I will definitely need to step it up before summiting Katahdin in August.

it charges fast. Haven't timed it, but if I go in for lunch, or do another chore, it will usually be charged by the time I get back to mowing. Since I am retiring this year, I figure I would have time to mow just part of the yard in the AM, part in the…

On February 27th, 28th and 29th I did a two night out and back trip from Wolf Pit Road trail-head to Table Rock mountain and back. In typical cafe fashion I planned this trip while driving 80 mph east on I-40 heading back from the Smokies. I stopped at a McDonald's to borrow some free Wifi to get a picture of a the trails and away I went.

On February 25th and 26th I did a nice loop in the Smokies from Big Creek Ranger Station parking lot to Deep Gap along the AT south of Mt. Cammerer fire tower. There was about 6 to 8 inches of snow while going up. I stealth camped due to the amount of snow coming in and the next day went down the Big Creek trail. Overnight there was another 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing fog.
Nestle Nido and Breakfast Essential Based Milkshakes
Nestle Nido is a full fat powdered milk which when combined with water makes a high calorie milk. I add Nestle Carnation Breakfast Essentials to add flavor and additional calories.
