    We just bought a coffee pot. In the FAQ at the end of the instructions I was offered these fine bits of advice: *

    The Pogues sound familiar. I may have seen them before, but I'm not sure. We've been to quite a few Irish Music festivals. I will have to ask Mrs OMO. She would know.

    You can have a bit of a conversation on the FB Group, but they are ephemeral.

    It seems to me that many people are no longer interested in having a conversation. They just want to make a statement and move on. I recently read an article that said that the #1 thing that causes young people to be anxious is having to talk with…

    Quote from LIhikers: “I wonder if he has any friends ” Only if they came with an instruction manual that rivals the Apollo Command Module instruction manual.

    I got this one wrong, but I did it at a different computer at work than I usually use. New Cookies. My winning streak on my desktop computer is preserved. I'll walk away from this other computer leaving my 0 / 1 score in the dustbin of history :) S

  • Winter Linville Gorge

    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. Going up Wolf Pit road in my 2002 Honda Accord was risky with the amount of ice and snow on the road. The final hill going down to the…
  • Great Smoky Mountain National Park

    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.
