Quote from twistwrist: “Check it out. Surprised everyone today with 3-4 inches of snow here at Amicalola. Awesome day! I walked up the falls with "AWOL"! Also, come see me tomorrow at the ATKO. ” Is he still complaining about his sore knee?

Glorious week of sunshine and high 70's here.

I am sure there are but when I did the AT it was one of the first things I dropped out. Resupply on the AT is not a hassle.

Americans always talk about our dangerous animals. The two biggest killers of tourists here are car accidents and drowning. Our beaches are beautiful but can be treacherous.

No one has mentioned the hiker found frozen in the Whites on Sunday. Anyone got some background? I gather he was a hiking guide for the region so should have known the risks there.

I wore jeans for all my early hikes. They do tend to stop you hiking far in the rain. Bloody things get #$@#¥₩ heavy!

Quote from max.patch: “Quote from Astro: “I always liked Skurka a lot. Even that article is nearly 4 years old, there is still some good stuff in their. I guess I need to go ahead and buy some gaitors and try them out. ” ok...but gaitors make ya look funny. AT014.jpg ” Only if they're colour matched to your rain jacket.

Sad. Sometimes bad s#it keeps happening to people who don't deserve it.

Quote from LIhikers: “Quote from max.patch: “the good news is that it was 70 today and gonna be 70 again tomorrow. the bad news is i only did the short 5 mile loop at the mountain cuz i had to reserve enough time and energy to cut the grass when i got home. ” I'm not allowed to cut the grass anymore because every time I did Kathy's flower plants used to disappear.It's now my job to keep the mower running. If it's green and grows cut it with the mower ” I tried to explain to Annie that collateral…

Farmers feed lentils to rams. It gives them bigger testes.

Quote from Dan76: “Quote from OzJacko: “That is taken about 15km from the southern terminus of the Bib. The ocean is the Southern Ocean. Temp was low to mid 70's. Glorious day. On the way back to town I picked up a section hiker 5km from town. I could tell he wanted a lift. Walking painfully on the grass verge next to the (at that point) tarmac footpath. Had a Coffee with him while he had a burger. Great day. ” where was he from? ” Well he has a garden nursery he and his wife have been running i…

Currently here sunrise just after 6am sunset just before 7pm. Days getting shorter. We get less variation over the year than most of you guys. Today's the hot day in current "cycle". Had high 70's yesterday. Already 91 at 11.20am today. Probably get 95. Back to mid 80's for a while after that. 250 mile north Perth is starting to string some 100 pluses together again. So glad I left that sweat box.

At one stage I owned Bat Out of Hell in vinyl, tape and one of those new fangled cd things at the same time.

I have that Steinman album. He wrote a big hit for Celine Dion as well I think. I have always said that if you're driving a car and Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell comes on and you're not speeding at the end of it, you have no rock and roll in your soul.

A pint of Guinness a day is good for you.

I normally find my musical preferences are for songs sung by the composer as they usually get the emotion "right". This is an exception. Another that breaks that mold for me is the first 2 Meatloaf albums. He had the voice to get the most out of Jim Steinman's music.

I am no good at posting youtube etc in here on my SAP but just posted a cover of Sound of Silence on my FB page. By Disturbed. I don't think that they are my kind of band normally but it's a great cover.

Quote from WanderingStovie: “Quote from odd man out: “Quote from WanderingStovie: “Quote from Rasty: “What happens when it slips? ” Sparks fly. ” I think that is what happens when robot runs into robotta. ” Really? How do you tell which is which? ” I can't sex a lot of animals from a distance. But they can. (Usually you notice opposite sexes sniff assholes, same sexes bite them.) I suppose if we get gender into robots the same will apply.
