....In my new job, I take care of a lot of grumpy old men. Don’t be a grumpy old man, it gets you nowhere. Just sayin’.

Quote from Astro: “Quote from Traffic Jam: “Curious...do you still hike? I feel some pressure to hike (and do other activities) as much as I can, while I can. It’s been frustrating because life events are getting in the way and I worry that my good health is running out, like sand in an hourglass. ” Shame we can't just flip that hourglass over and give it another go. ” SandyofPA said it best...choose to be happy every day, no matter the circumstances (or something like that). If I can’t hike one…

The U.S. Armed Forces Survival Manual. Currently on the map and compass chapter. I seem to mumble “WTF” under my breath a lot...I’ll never understand this.

We actually had a good bit of sunshine today! And it was warm.

Y’all are really upping the ante on your interesting walks.

My sip or skip advice... Skip the glass of bourbon if you’ve already had a glass (or two) or wine. You might post about pricks on WB.

Quote from StalkingTortoise: “In today's edition of "Sip or Skip", I will review Calumet Farm Small Batch Bourbon. High $40's in the PA State Stores. A premier product from the Bird Dog Whiskey folks. appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…b2fb2aafd0afc4bbf80b71963 I was initially disappointed with the overall taste based on the price. For a few dollars more, I could have bought another fifth of Angel's Envy. As a control, I followed up my test glass with a sample of Four Roses Small Batch. Suddenly, th…

One of my favorites, Coopers Craft, dropped in price from $26 to $19.99. This concerned me...why would the price drop? Was the quality affected? I asked the sales guy and he said they came out with a new...vintage (is that the right word?) and they “tier” the price. I bought my son in law a small bottle of Belle Meade from Nashville and a bottle of Coopers Craft. Then found out he only drinks bourbon mixed with other stuff and wouldn’t appreciate the Belle Meade so he gave it back to me.

Hopefully heading back to the Foothills trail in a few weeks. It would be nice to finish this before it gets hot.

more rain, this is ridiculous. Its supposed to be sunny on March 18. Fingers crossed.

Quote from Astro: “One thing I have started taking to baseball games this year is hot hands. Never considered taking on a hike, has anyone else? Probably not worth the weight, but might be nice to have for an emergency. ” I carry 2 of them in winter just in case but have only used them once in my socks at bedtime. Thy were great and made me feel real warm. My problem is I forget that they’re in my pack so don’t use them.

That kayak is gorgeous, I’m green with envy.

I got $29 and have been lusting over the Teton fleece pants for camp pants. They’re so warm but won’t pay full price because I’ve seen them on sale in the past and figure they’ll go on sale this spring. Also need a pair of stretch pants for spin class. I noticed mine have a hole in the ass. I always ride a bike in the front row so figure everyone’s been getting a good laugh during spin class.

This guy is an inspiration...he’s awesome. I don’t care how far he gets, he got off the couch and he’s a winner in my book. It takes so much courage to do what he’s doing. It’s easy to sit around feeling sorry for yourself, staying in your rut while your health declines. It’s hard to take the bull by the horns and do something about it...especially when you don’t have a clue what you’re doing. I can totally identify with him. And he does it with a smile. His laugh is contagious.
