Quote from thestationat19e: “Give everyone a Beer. I hatched the idea of "Trail Magic from your Desk" last week. See below: Purchase a Craft Beer, Appetizer or Bunk for a 2019 Thru Hiker. We will put your number on the board. When a hiker comes in we put their trail name next to the number, take their picture and post it on Facebook so you can see who you purchased the item for. Follow the following link: squareup.com/store/thestationat19e ” trail magic indeed, more like another way to drum up b…

you guys seem to have a million ways to retire yet not retire. more power to you, but i am not particularly impressed so i'll exit this conversation.

Quote from max.patch: “do you pick up hitchhikers? 9ab8f3791b89338b108678c2aa1fad62.jpg ” nah, the county is paid to pick up the roadside trash.

you got it, free to piddle around, free to voluteer, free to say no, all traits of a real retirement.

I still can't wrap my head around the concept of retirement and employment existing at the same time. rhjanes muddies the water even more by discussing "freedom" and "work schedule" in the same breath. Huh? I think we just have differing ideas about what constitutes retirement and work. You'll have to excuse my simple mind, but I'm either working (for a living) or not. In my case, I've been officially, legally retired for years. In other words, I have not been paid for work in years. The IRS kno…

on one hand you're talking about retirement on the other you're talking about working after retirement. Geez, talk about setting yourself up for failure. I agree with IMScotty, make sure you're financially ready for retirement then go for it. What you waiting for, you're 67. So you gonna wait til you're 75 before you can find the time to hike? Either get on with it or STFU. Edit: God, I sound like such a dick. I apologize, but please do go for it before it's too late. BTW, I'm a year older than …

speaking of which, i finally bit the bullet (pun intended) and got all my sore, crumbling teeth removed and have myself a shiny new set of dentures. i should say they are cheap temporary dentures until my mouth heals and the real expensive ones are made. to make this relevant i hear they make sonic cleaner rigs for dentures. yeah! my dentist told me to beware of a whole slew of problems for new denture wearers. okay 24 hours into it, i love it. pardon me for bragging, but it's been a long time s…

Alabama and Clemson probably should have their own championship game. it's like a failed season without a important game between the two. congrats Tigers!

Quote from Love Hiking: “Quote from chief: “Love Hiking seems to mention a certain pay website with every post. Could this be nothing more than SPAM? ” No intent to spam. Just felt the responders to my post deserved the courtesy of a reply. I am not known for good choice of words. I have edited my post to remove as many references to the website as possible. Please let me know if further editing is needed. ” i'm just a member here like yourself, nothing needed for me. though i get a little suspi…

Love Hiking seems to mention a certain pay website with every post. Could this be nothing more than SPAM?

Words of advice, don't let anyone tell you how easy the hiking is in the southern Appalachians. Also, hiking 2 to 3 weeks is a lot different than doing a brisk day hike. you'll have to carry more, you'll usually need to get up and hike even before you begin to recover from the previous days hike. everything will hurt before you get used to the hiking/camping and 2 to 3 weeks is not enough to get used to the hiking/camping. Allow yourself some zero days, allow yourself some slow days and allow fo…

dang, i thought the boy had better sense than that. congrats anyway!

a precursor to the game. (may want to skip to 1:35 for the action) youtu.be/6jyFNKxH3xg

usually those ash locations are sited in convienant places to stop for a piss. very considerate. i don't care much about what happens after i die because i'll be dead ya know? i leave that life after death crap to the dim witted religious zealots. so i've told my heir to do what she wants, but if she spends much money to dispose of my rotting corpse then she's a frukin' idiot. so she says, okay i'm gonna have you cremated no ceremony, where do you want your ashes. again, why the fruk should i ca…

so Clemson and Alabama back in the championship game, seems appropriate. roll tide

This is the first i've heard of candlepin bowling, but back in the day i went bowling with some friends in baltimore. what the heck, tiny ball and tiny pins, they called it duckpins! i bowled one game and decided it was a dumb game, not as much fun as real bowling. my friends continued bowling while i drank beer and ate polish sausage with hot relish. the bowling was forgettable, but i'll never forget the heartburn i suffered that night and if i never hear another polka band i'll be happy.
