HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE.

“im off to have a blast, dont sit around to long! call off, and get out to hike!”

“The weekend is actually shaping up quite nicely considering I'm not backpacking. I'm selling my house. The first step was to evict my freeloading leech roommate though. After I sell my house I will be free!!

I am going to travel around the world, backpacking to my heart's content Ü Ü
I know ya'll don't believe me, but after I don't post for 6 months you will start to wonder.

“Hey biz, good luck. Hope you'll post from public libraries and internet cafes all over the world!”

“What a great plan Biz--if I were young and single I'd go with you.”

“Have a great time Biz. Good luck with selling the house. $)”

“Have a blast Biz!!!!!!

If you are in my neck of the woods look me up and we can go backpacking!

“We fixed my car ¦ ) but not until after it tried to kill G00SE ¦ (

“Cool a car with a mind like mine!

“It took a lunge at him. I saw it!”

“Do you remember the old movie "The Car"?????

Ooooooo scary!!!!


8|”

“My car is black.










Do you think.....?”

“Skullcap, you guys didn't happen to name your car Christine, did you?

One of my friends went to a shop, to install a remote starter in his new AWD Eagle Talon (stick shift). He went to pick it up at the appointed time. He was sitting in the waiting room reading a magazine when his car rammed thru a wall (more like a partition) and struck some piled up new tires. Somehow the technician focked up the wiring or something. When he pressed the remote starter to test it, the car leaped forward. Luckily no one was in it's way, and there was only some very minor surface paint damage. Naturally, my friend freaked out. I think the shop deducted $150.00 from the bill.”

“Thats cool you should try to get it on tape if it starts acting up again.

“Well, we'll probably start calling it Christine after today.




Dang homicidal car.”

“Thats cool.

Dam Crazy car!”

“Oh, I forgot...3 or 4 months after my friend got his remote starter installed...his car lunged forward again. Luckily, after the first incident at the shop, he always uses both hands while operating the remote unit (one thumb on the "start" button and the other thumb on the "off" button)...he was able to turn off the car immediately. It turned out that, that system used a toggle switch (in the stick shift) as a safety switch...if the stick is not in the neutral position, the car wouldn't start. Somehow, the toggle broke (maybe from the cold Canadian temperatures). Anyway, he brought the car back to the shop, and they installed a magnetic type of safety switch. Sheesh...can't trust mechanical stuff. Lesson here is, never stand in front or behind a car while it is being started.”

“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.”

“every one have a great weekend and be safe!! im solo in!”

“Have fun Prowler. I'm going to a two day lamaze class over the weekend.

"Ok, breathe honey!"”

“hahah! have fun!! ive been there twicw! its fun.”

“I'm off to a retreat at Ghost Ranch”

“I'm packed and ready for the Sierra Snowshoe! Feels like I forgot something, my pack is so light!”

“Have fun dude!

8)”

“Sunscreen!”

“This evening I'm unloading the piolet, crampons, plastic boots (the leather ones are stuffed with newspaper and drying out after we were blown off Algonquin in the Dacks last Monday by a snow squall), rucksack, etc. and putting in my overnight bag.

Saturday morning I'm driving 750 km (450 m) up to Sudbury in northern Ontario to take my daughter and her boyfriend out to dinner. Sunday I'll take my daughter out for breakfast then drive home. After that, it will be time for Tonka's 12 000 km first tune-up (I got it 6 February).

My son is manic-depressive and I've been a little worried about him lately. I called him Tuesday and things seem to be all right, otherwise I'd have postponed my trip (it would have broken my daughter's heart - she can't wait to show me her very own new apartment).

Wednesday morning after thinking about it during the night I unplugged my 'phone. It would have been too late to postpone my visit then and my daughter deserves a dad too. If anything happens, my son's girlfriend will have to deal with it until Monday.

Take care, everyone.

Doug”

“Getting ready to leave work to join the Sierra Snowshoe trip! Made the mistake of weighing my pack on our postal scales...51lbs. OUCH!!”

“Got sunscreen, hat and shirt. Added TP and a few other things after checking a list (felt like I was missing something). I'm at 31.5 lbs (includes camera, tent, stove, food & water, chair, GPS, 2 way radio, bear canister, trekking poles, etc). If my Weekender canister comes today, I'll switch canisters (saves 10 oz).”

“31.5lbs?! Wanna carry some of my stuff?

:)”

“I will be sterilizing my house this weekend and shopping on line for new gear (hey, it is better than nothing!). My daughter is finally starting to look a little lively again after getting pneumonia on Sunday. My husband is getting over the flu. So I'm wielding a washcloth and bucket of clorox and water.”

“The club is going to backpacking the Jordan River Pathway this weekend in Michigan.

So what is everyone else doing this weekend?

8)”

“I am finally going to get some rest.”

“With a foot of new snow in the Sierras, we're going snowboarding.”

“I have to leave Monday for a week in Vegas (work is just killing me these days) so I probably need to stay close to home this weekend. However, a daytrip to Ft Pillow might be in order Sunday.”

“Looks like I'm up for a tent camp in the backyard with my six year old and friends. I was thinking of getting all my backpackng gear out and "roughing it", maybe getting them interested in gear would get them interested in getting into the wilderness.”

“Two words: Grand Prix
any Purdue Alums know what I'm talking about.”

“i'm going to Boston, nanny nanny boo boo! i have a feeling the air's gonna be a bit brisk, compared to this heat wave!”

“Taking my Firebird to a local car show with my car club this weekend.

Next week Yosemite Falls...”

“This weekend, some yard maintenance and a school function, next weekend, Fiery Gizzard! WooHoo!”

“Goin' to check out a trail in Ocala off of SR 40 from one of the reviews I read. Just a day hike.
Have a great weekend!”

“Hey Pathman if I had kids I would try to get them into backpacking at a very early age!

But that sounds fun you get to play in a tent and you get to play with your kids and there friends!

Way cool!!!!

“I am doing an upgrade to our ERP software at work. I have a whole weekend of computing ahead of me.

This wasn't in the brochure....?”

“CM, I failed with my teenage sons, my six year old is my last chance.”

“Cool it looks like you are going to have fun trying!!!!

8)

Kids rock!!!!”

“I got some kinda sinus thing going on because of all the pollen in the air. Last night I couldn't breathe. Today my nose ran like a dang faucet. Now I just basicly feel like sh1t.
Spring sucks. Can we have Winter back?”

“You will feel better just take some meds for it!

And get out!

8)”

“The crap floating around in the air is what got me this way. I'm staying in.
Got drugs?”

“Sinus meds make me feel worse. Take double doses of vitamins and some zinc.

I miss winter too.”

“This stuff works for me

Nasalide”

“I'm shutting down. 45 minutes (with beer stop) I'll be home. Later!”

“Hey Crazy Mike Backpacks

Have a blast up on the Jordan River!!”
