Have fun !

I'm starting to think there's nothing you can't do.

Well yesterday, Tuesday 3/9, was my first day back on the bicycle for 2021. When I left the house the temp was in the low 40s and a gentle head wind. I could feel that I hadn't ridden in months and took it nice and easy. A tad over an hour to do the 10 miles. Coming home was quite another experience, the wind had picked up and turned around so it was in my face, making riding harder. Also, being dark out makes it harder as I have to make sure to be visible, but not too visible, if you know what …

It turns out that we have $40 and change at REI. I didn't realize we spent that much at REI this year.

Maybe the thing to do will be for each of us to carry a Sawyer Squeeze. That way if one clogs we still have another. We've been using a Kataydn Hiker Pro for years and an MSR filter before that. The thing that brought the Steripen to mind was we saw a family using one this past summer in Maine and it seemed so easy.

Kathy and I have always used a filter for our water on hiking trips. On more than one occasion we've had the filter clog leaving us with no options as we don't carry enough fuel to boil all our water and Kathy doesn't want to add chemicals to the water. I'm wondering if any of you have used a Steripen, or other UV device, and what the pros and cons of that method are.

Do the pups have names?

We used to play hockey when the sump froze over. I never could skate well so I played goalie using a catcher's mask, a first baseman's glove, and a thick layer of newspapers duct taped inside my jacket.

Kathy and I took our dog to the local county park for an hour's stroll. Beautiful day sunny and in the 40s barely.

Quote from IMScotty: “Today I convinced my wife to take a lap around the pond with me while it is still solid. It was more of a shuffle than a walk, we have to worry about our Old-bones. appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…ee1dbee7103d3d336621cd3c3 ” Were you on ice skates or walking?

Quote from BillyGr: “Quote from LIhikers: “Quote from jimmyjam: “$6.05 not sure what I'll use that for. ” You might be able to get a sock, not a pair of socks. ” Perfect for those times when one of a pair gets a hole - now you have the "extra" one to match with the still usable one of the pair! ” I have a small drawer in my dresser that I call my "dead sock drawer". When one of a pair gets a hole I throw it away but put the good one in the drawer because I'm too cheap to throw away anything with…

Congrats grandpa Looks like everybody's happy. It's good to hear from you WOO.

The Laurel Highlands Trail in PA was nice but only about 70 something miles. The C+O Canal Trail, 185 miles from DC to Cumberland, MD, was very easy walking but had a lot of history along the way to learn about. Plus resupply was super easy. Then there's the Great Allegheny Passage, Cumberland to Pittsburgh.................

Just got my second shot. My wife is yet to get an appointment

I just ordered a new pack, one that I've had my eye on for a while. It's the ULA Equipment CATALYST. I had to special order it in the color I wanted, orange. It's listed as being just under 3 pounds with a volume of 75 liters and is advertised as being to be able to carry up to 40 pounds comfortably. Also, there are plenty of positive reviews on a variety of web sites. If we have any ULA pack users here I'd love to hear your comments, both good and bad. I'll still be keeping my current pack, a G…

I know the NY/NJ Trail Conference stop crew work last year but then brought it back later in the year and participation is at each person's own, individual discretion. The work that Kathy and I do as boundary monitors doesn't involve anyone else directly.
