it charges fast. Haven't timed it, but if I go in for lunch, or do another chore, it will usually be charged by the time I get back to mowing. Since I am retiring this year, I figure I would have time to mow just part of the yard in the AM, part in the PM, part the next day. With a flexible schedule, it's not much of an issue.

Quote from hikerboy: “Dickey was one of my guitar heroes as a kid. I would wear out the ABB albums learning every single one of his solos on my guitar, note for note. And while I was able to copy them, he was the one who dreamed them up. ” Highway 41 from last year's backpacking trip. I think the song is refering to the other end. appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…92634ed62509f90fa2759e2c2

welcome to the cafe
PostI still enjoy the teaching, but all the other stuff (scholarship, committees, annual reviews. Activity plans, etc...) that goes with being a university prof became a drag. I'm in the older wife category. Since she retired a few years ago, there is less incentive to stick around.

Hiking plan for 2024
PostI have finalized plans for an August hike in ME. Unfortunately I had to cut back to a one week trip which will not be enough to do the whole HMW. So I will fly to BGR, shuttle to Shaws for the night, after the famous breakfast I will have them shuttle me to a trail head about half way to BSP, probably Johnston Rd? Hike 5 days to katahdin Stream CG (got a shelter reservation.) Up the AT to Baxter Peak, down Abol Trail, shuttle to Millinocket for the night. Shuttle to Medway, bus to BGR, fly home.…

odd man out - - General
PostWow! 70 degrees, not a cloud, light breeze, and a weekend. Went for a walk at our favorite local park (maybe 1.5 miles). I will definitely need to step it up before summiting Katahdin in August.

PostQuote from Sarcasmtheelf: “Funny side note to today's question. Apparently we have no idea what the tribe we claim to get the name "Appalachian" from was actually called. IIRC the account I read, the name only survived in a single document written in Spanish and was most likely provided by a different tribe long after the actual "Appalachian" tribe had died out. Being a translation of another dated translation and it's entirely likely is sounds bears little resemblance to the name the original w…
