  • Try something new

    Post

    Quote from LIhikers: “Have you tried anything new this summer? ” Night hiking. Still not a big fan of it, which is why I keep trying to do it. This year is the first time I've done it solo by choice. Every time an opportunity comes up and I feel like I don't want to, I have to remind myself that my lack of enthusiasm is directly proportional to my need to get out there and do it - and so I go.

    Quote from JimBlue: “Okay, it mentions ham radio licenses. The $15 is for a written test, there are guidebooks for the test. This would be for the Technician license. 2 meters and 70cm bands on the Baefong they mention would work, but there aren't repeaters along all of th trail. Well, the newsletter did say more info later on. The test requires study, its not just electronics/electricity. The email I received a few weeks ago mentioned APRS for most of the AT. I don't know if there are 2 meter r…

  • Secret To A Happy Marriage

    g00gle - - Hiking Humor

    Post

    At a celebration of their 50th year of marriage, the old husband was approached by a twenty-something with a question. "What is the secret? How did you two stay so happy for so long? Please, I just married last week, so I really need to know." The husband looked off in to the distance with a look of pure joy and nostalgia as he began to speak. "It all goes back to our honeymoon. We visited the Grand Cannon, first stop on a month long road trip..." The newlywed chimed in, "Oh, I see, you guys got…

  • Is it Too Late ???

    Post

    Found this article thanks to a post HB made in another thread. I thought it was pretty powerful. - I am in my late 20s and feel I have wasted a lot of time. Is it too late for me to achieve something worthwhile? "Too late for what? If you slept through your 26th birthday, it's too late for you to experience that. It's too late for you to fight in the Vietnam War. It's too late for you to go through puberty or attend nursery school. It's probably too late for you to be breastfed. It's not too lat…

    Quote from CoachLou: “Well, Coach Lou worked. And today to. I was going to bike/day hike NJ this weekend, I need to catch up at work, so I will go in. I'm looking to sneak away Thursday for a longer week end........ Somewhere ” Yuppers! We've planned all year to take next Friday off. Every Labor day we get together with my buddy and his family and camp at the rod & gun club for the extneded weekend. Not exactly a pristine mountain top view, but rarely does anyone else camp there, and it's a long…

    Quote from rafe: “There are things I refuse to try because the cost of failure is just too high. Peeing into a bottle inside my tent is one of those. ” I see the practicality of it, especially when the risk is in creating one long icicle (or worse.) But since I've never done it, I'm hoping to get some practice before I actually need it. Now, hopefully my buddy Bill misses this thread cause I'm gonna ask to borrow his tent next weekend.

Last night my friend asked to use a USB port to charge his cigarette, but I was using it to charge my book. The future is stupid.

    Quote from odd man out: “we all know what happens when you use the privy at Jurassic Park. I don't think CCW will help. ” I can't tell if that scene was in Southern Maine or actually still in New Hampshire.

Used to seem unnecessary, but if Jurassic Park is still letting creatures like that escape... I just dunno. You're a good man! When I'm hiking, camping, whatev…

    Quote from LIhikers: “Is there anyone here that's never made a mistake at work? Ever? ” Bah! Your probably right, I should go back to feeling confident. If an ATC or a pilot screws something up, what's the worst that can happen? Quote from hikerboy: “this acrtually just happened on long island this past week, where air traffic control directed a plane to land at a runway that no longer exists newsday.com/long-island/nassau…-landing-strip-1.10769259 ” Oh darn!

  • Quote from Foresight: “You're trying to trick me into giving away something, it will not work. ” Sonny, true love is the greatest thing, in the world-except for a nice MLT – mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe. They’re so perky, I love that.
