whatch'all doin' this here weekend

“Gonna beat ya there, Pennsy...I am leaving today (Thursday) from work, at about 2:00. Stopping at Campmor in Paramus on my way, to exchange some stuff I just got that doesn't fit...then on to Lafayette Campground in the White Mountains of NH.

Will climb Mt. Washington on Friday, it looks like that is the best weather day I'll have. Will hike Sat. and Sunday also (prob. Garfield and Liberty/Lafayette), maybe Monday too, but I'll probably come home late Sunday night. (An eight hour day-hike followed by an eight-hour drive...yuck.)”

“Cranberry -
Get me OUTTA HERE!!!”

“Going to explore Squaw Canyon north of Hovenweep Nat.Mon. Check out indian ruins and find that a$$ holes remains and get the 150K reward.”

“How do I spell relief? A-d-i-r-o-n-d-a-c-k-s!!! ahhhhhhhh

:o)”

“This weekend, backpack Horton Lakes TH (8,000') to Horton Lakes (10,000'/4.5 mi), then dayhike to Mt Tom (13,652'/3.6 mi), hike back, pack out.”

“Day trip along Crowley's ridge in Eastern Arkansas”

“We're headed down to Boulder, CO for the Univ. Colorado's Rocky Mountain Shootout Cross Country meet. The Buffaloes men and women are both ranked #1 in the Nation.”

“Going in costume to King Richard's Renaissance Faire in Carver, Mass. on Sunday with my hubby Ravenseer!”

“A long lonely hike along the Ouachita Trail.”

“I'm going to get on an airplane for Tennessee. I am more afraid of the guys with guns all over the airport than I am of terrorists--they seem to have a really wild reaction these days to any little thing.”

“Baker lake in the Sawtooths, for my (younger) kids first real backpack. Its a mile in, and is stocked with Golden trout, the type found in high mountain lakes of the Sierra Nevada. Maybe we'll catch a few fish and try not to freeze out butts off. Talk about going light NOT, my pack may be huge. Good thing its only a mile. My 10 year old daughter is luke warm, but my 5 year old son is stoked. We also watched a snow camping video, and he says he wants to go with me next time I go.”

“Hey Bacpac! What section of the OT are you doing? Should be beautiful this time of year.”

“It is still a little early. Most of the leaves are still green.”

“It sure would be nice if we got a day off for the president's birthday, like they do for the Queen of England. Of course, then we would have a lot of people voting for a candidate born on July 3 or December 26, just for the long weekends.”

“I torn as to exactly what to do. Kayak platform camping where I fish, read and talk to myself...or..who knows.

what y'all doing?”

“Chauffering kids all over my part of the planet.”

“that was last weekend for me...I'll not trade ya bit”

“Please? If you do, I get to stay home and play Rome:Total War all weekend.”

“I will be on the toilet all weekend”

“bike riding for MS”

“if we trade you get to fish, camp and talk to yourself all weekend...and I get to drive around saying "Do NOT make me pull over."

*taking a moment to weigh this decision out*...hhmmmm....NO lol”

“Going to the Petit Lemans at Road Atlanta.”

“Ewker ...where...Crosscut was doing that sometime..is it the same event?”

“I doubt it, MS does them all over the country. Mine is from Franklin to Lynchburg Home of Jack Daniels. Sat night is all the Jack you can drink, if you care to. Did that last yr and died on the way back home riding the bike”

“Try to finish building the Koi pond.”

“I think his was Charlotte to the beach....not sure which weekend. He may have already done it. BIG THUMBS UP though Ewk...roll on”

“kids soccer, smoking ribs, eating ribs, watching college football, misc house stuff, ....”

“I'm co-hosting a benefit concert in New Jersey for the hurricane vics. It's called Storm-Aid. We will be simulcasting it on our own homegrownradionj.com and will also be broadcast on at least one other local radio station there. The remote is coming out of Netcong, New Jersey. There are three stages going simultaneously from 12 Noon to 8 PM. I will be working the main stage, interviewing musicians, playing music between sets, etc. etc. Should be fun! Tune in if you're around....”

“I had the week off, but have to work midnights on the weekend. Will probably work on putting the roof on my new fieldstone shed during the day. The wife is pop-up camping all week with her girlfriend & I have 5 days off next week.”

“I am going to the campgrounds for the annual chili cook off! I have steaks in the cooler and I just cut up a red, green and yellow pepper, asparagus, purple onion, mushrooms, zucchini, summer squash, and green olives in a nice Italian marinade for roasting on the grill. A few nice big oil can beers and I’m set! It’s going to be sunny all weekend (accept for at night) and 70s day time and mid 40s at night. Perfect!”

“I'm thinking the Shenendoah!- gorgeous weekend to be in the mountains. I gotta get out there.”

“OK-TO-BER-FEST!!!...although the beer garden usually only has bud lite and miller lite :( What kinda octoberfest beer garden is that!!”

“Humanpackmule, how big is your koi pond? My stepdad just put in a 38,000 gallon pond.

“I could be mistaken dude but where I come from we call that a lake. LOL!”

“that isn't a friggin pond. I have seen lakes smaller than that”

“Damn that's huge.
Treebait and I were aiming at 2000 gal but we hit 900 gal and said yep, that's good. lol.

It's a small yard we have.”

“Double post.

Nice pond BTW.

“surely god he just put too many zeros on that!! LOL”

“pretty small huh?


LOL”

“Nope, that looks about right to me.”

“Wow, now that's a water feature.”

“No, That's the right size. 54' long, 20' across, over 8' deep. I dropped a part in it, and spent a good deal of time looking for it. I can't believe that he did it myself.”

“Run, soccer, shop for light fixtures for our remodeled area, yardwork, run again, laundry at the laundromat (since we are without washer/dryer during the remodel), shop for groceries, cook, etc.”

“It's more high tech than our pool. More skimmers, drains and filters. It's insane.”

“My God Almighty! I just looked at those pics..all that for some fish? My kid's goldfish has got a pretty pathetic existence in that bowl on the counter...poor guy”

“Looks like he's got a bad case of green water, Ox. Did he get a UV system?”

“It's pretty natural til it balances out treebait. The filter has to build up bacteria first.”

“Oh I know about that. 4-6 weeks of nitrate/ nitrite spikes, hoping nothing snuffs it. My little pond has a very large biofilter on it. The only problem is it could take 2 months for the bacteria balance to reach optimum. I guess you could go for barley floats or granules or whatever. I can't wait for our pond to be done though. I love my fish but I want them OUT of the damn kitchen!”

“Is that what HPM is supposed to be doing instead of building a ziggurat?”
