PostI have to say that of late I have been disappointed with the way the cafe has been going. The departure of Hikerboy saddened me although unlike him the reduction in political content actually pleased me. However without him what political content remains is slanted in a way I find offensive after some 40 years of employment in the welfare sector of my wife and myself. To hear comments indicating that your country's economic woes are because of welfare recipients amazes me given that your country…

Quote from TrafficJam: “pegs...the #2 is the one hikerboy had trouble with in high wind at Whigg Meadow. I had a combo of those and the 12gm aluminum pegs at Max Patch and mine also came loose in windy conditions (the aluminum ones did great). But, they were the easiest to use in the hard-packed ground at the campground. I've never seen the Big Agnes pegs for sale and my daughter's didn't come with them, neither did my Copper Spur 3. Where do you buy them? ” As Drybones has intimated, they are E…

Quote from Astro: “Oz, Good job, but did you put this together originally for a local audience? All the weights are in kg instead of lb. ” When in the US I delve into my schoolyard memories and deal with your pounds and ounces. At home my scales are set to metric. Lots of conversion stuff out there but I have to do it all the time. Your turn.

Okay I'm still trying work this out. I can't get the text in between the pics. So I'm going to put all the text bits in here at the start and if I work it out edit it later Will try and do it in order of pics. Please note: all tent weights are everything tent includes EXCEPT pegs and hiking poles if set up requires it. (i.e suffsacks etc except for SMD for which I have no stuffsack).

Quote from odd man out: “I can't recall the last time I bought something from REI. But I know I became a member about 40 years ago. I wonder if they could find my membership number for me. It's probably carved on a clay tablet in their basement somewhere. ” Probably. When we went in to one in NY with Coach made inquiries and they found him and it wasn't that old but it was a lot of years. Main thing is to remember the address you had when a member.

PostQuote from SarcasmTheElf: “Quote from OzJacko: “My tents. ” Got me beat... ” How are you for tent pegs. This is the variety I have. Lined up in weight order. Lightest 7 gms. First six are 11gms or less. The big one weighs 42 but take it and leave the trowel home. Useful for the windward side on sandy pitchs. Oops. Pic upside down.

PostBest Wishes Clarity. My brother in law over 30 years ago had a broken neck in a motorcycle accident in Italy. Came home on a stretcher a quadriplegic. About a month later started to get some feeling. Was walking in 6 months. Still technically a quad but is fully mobile and leading an active and fully functioning life. Just don't lose heart. It's an area with tremendous hope for treatment in the next decade.

PostI immediately started getting a chat from him asking if I had heard the news about Mark Zuckerberg and the government giving money away. Lots of typos. Suspect something like Nigeria involved.
