is anyone awake?

“anyone up?”

“Yes..what state do you live in?”

“LOL,.. I was going to tell him no!”

“Oh..never mind I see. I just got home from work. I might the last East Coaster to go to bed.”

“i live in california”

“negative, i'll be up till 6:30 at least. hello mr. bigfoot.”

“do you not like me big foot?”

“hello coaster”

“hi baume i was having an identity crisis at that time i'm over it now”

“You're getting sleepy, very sleepy...”

“Hi Baume66, it`s been a while since we`ve talked hasn`t it? I sometimes miss our late nights chats!LOL I hope you`re well and happy!

Poppindude,... as far as I can tell,.. yes, I like you well enough, but I like girls much better!LOL How are you tonight?”

“Word of advice, Pop'n Fresh.
People use a GREAT deal of sarcasm on this website.
Don't take it to heart.”

“its early”

“i am doing well big foot I am looking foward to Mr. Obi's JMT hike if it pulls together.”

“Hello everyone,... looks like lots of us are up!LOL”

“i think we all have insomnia”

“Great, I hope that works out for you Poppin-one, .. Obi Wan is a good guy, it should be a hoot!”

“ok this may be a stupid question but since i'm not taking a tent on the JMT hike i was thinking about my small fishing pole and a small fry pan”

“never mind”

“They won`t keep you dry at all!LO And that wasn`t much of a question either!LOL”

“i know besides how much will i use it. i do plan on carying a small wrist watch/ alarm i plan on gettin up at 3:30 in the morning and start hiking at 4:30 in the morning so i can get a nice head start and get my miles in with plenty of time to take in the sites.”

“a wrist watch alarm would have to slap me in the head to wake me up!!...no tent, frying pan, and waking at 3;30...is this a fun trip, or did you piss someone off?”

“I would do the opposite and start late and let everyone cook dinner so when you stroll into camp its time to eat. Works all the time! Then after dinner some hot chick will come along and help you set your tent up because its soooo dark and they feel bad for you....Wink..Wink”

“no i have a 0 deg mummy and i am using the two tarp systom”

“You`re not going to see much besides stars at that time of the morning. Just play it by ear and enjoy yourself, leave the watch at the house, or stuff it in your sack, getting away like that is so you can forget about time, even if it`s just for a few precious moments.

Oh, take a light weight tarp with you and a hunk of twine, they come in handy!”

“great idea!”

“good point

but i somewhat like hiking in the dark you never know what you will see, or cant see OOOOOOOooooOOOO”

“LOL,.. Wow, we all had the same idea, but everyone else thinks and types much faster than I do!”

“I'm awake--Chicago, 11:50pm”

“and i will bring plenty of fresh baked cookies to share with the ladies on the JMT trip”

“You`ll end up being one of those things that goes bump in the dark, or a treat for a critter!LOL”

“naw i dont think so i might see a bear or two but thats all”

“and YES i said plenty of fresh baked goods for the ladies”

“If you meet up with smokey on the trail in the dark everyone is going to call you poopypants cause that`s what will happen!”

“really i aint afraid of no bear”

“in fact bears will be scared of me!”

“I bet they will too, you smelling like cookies and all!LOL”

“i will have them in my bear canister!”

“The bear woould appreciate the cookies.”

“So if yer carrying a heavy bag, two tarps and a bear cannister, how's that going light?”

“its not tha bag weighs 4.8 lbs”

“totaly not light”

“Yep I'm up! It's only just gone midnight here.
Such exuberance Mr Pop!”

“Hey bunyip, nearly 0700 here.”

“I'm awake!”

“You on the west coast mate?”

“Anybody want to meet me for snowshoeing today?”

“I'm in New Mexico. US Mountain Time.

I'd love to go snowshoeing, but can't get to PA today. Guess I'll do that or XC ski today.”

“I just found out I may be taking my six year old and his friend to see Jimmy Neutron, instead.”

“Oh well... be that way if you want.
:-)”
