Oh well, REI here I come...

Tex”

Wind walker, sadly, I'm eyeing a stack of unpaid bills! LOL

Tx, I still have the bag you asked me to hold for you last year, didn't put it up for sale. You ready to buy it yet?”

“I'm thinking about selling all my bp gear, I'll let you guys know if I do.”

“Ouch! Joyce, I hope that things are okay with you. I'll try to keep an eye out for any future sales of yours.”

“I don't mean to pry Joyce ...but why would you want to do that? :(
As was said earlier, I hope you are well and hope this financial pinch will pass shortly.

Sheesh...I thought you were just after the latest new gear!”

“LOL, please don't worry about me, I'm ok. But thanks for the thoughts! I've just decided that riding my motorcycle is much easier on this old tired body!”

“You won't like the flabby things that will happen to that old tired body if you quit walkin woman. Just make the trips shorter or easier--don't give up those early mornings in the woods or the thousand other adventures that are still to come.
Your bud, Mary”

“Hugs to you sweet Mary, but you're a little late on the flabby warning! LOL”

“i may sell a ton of gear I bought and never used.”

“Hey MCbaby! Glad to hear from you. Sorry you are selling your gear and quitting backpacking! (OK... a little sorry that I didn't get in my bid on the Helium or the Osprey! LOL!)”

“I'm sad. I thought that perhaps we might meet while I'm doing trails in GSMNP during Aug.-Oct. this year. Maybe we can meet at Deals Gap some day. (Are you riding your own or doubling with someone?)”

“I haven't quit yet! Just don't seem to be making any plans to backpack in the near future! LOL, don't bury the old woman yet.

Hey, Ped, how's life? I thought you might have been interested in the Osprey, Baume just beat you to it.

Nowslimmer, I'm riding my own...what an adventure in learning! LOL Don't be sad, just let me know where you are going to be, I'll try my best to make it down!”

“MotorCycleBaby:

Life is taking a much needed breather.... (at least as much as it can when you have 1 1/2 teenagers living with you - 1/2 is for my younger son who lives half time with his Mom... not cuzz I lost it and took an axe to him).

How are the Hungarians?”

“Hey bpbaby iffin ya sell your Zoid let me know, I've been thinking about buying one.”

“Spam, the thought crossed my mind, I've actually decided I like using my tarp. I'll let ya know in the next day or two, I'm not sure how you would like it though. Think it will be long enough?

Ped, my part of the Hungarians is no more...he died the 4th of this month after a well fought battle with cancer. That's why I've been missing in action lately.”

“Damn! I am very sorry to hear that.

Cancer is such an awesome force. It took quite a bite out of me a while back. I get tested every four months and hope it hasn't got my scent again and ain't comin' to hunt me down.”

“I hope so too, Ped. I remember you going through all that...and WINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's the great part! Thanks for the thoughts. My mom is a survivor too, it is truly something to celebrate each and every day.”

“(1) You never, never, never, sell ALL your gear....remember that.

(2) All cancer survivors/patients are heroes in my book, my wife went through it...it takes courage to survive and thrive.

(3) Those that stand by them qualify too.

(4) Get thee to a sweat.......



BpBaby knows......”

“You know people(on TT) joke around with each other quite a bit, giving them a hard time so to speak. They also are very encouraging to each other and that is really a nice thing to see these days. Very nice:)”

“Don't give up backpacking Joyce, just slow back a little.. get into the Eddie Bauer groove.. :).. do dayhikes.. drink bottled water, and deli sandwiches..

:)..
