What is going on with this years FYAO trip? Where is everyone? This is the best trip of the year, an annual event that allows you to freeze off you butt and party in sub zero conditions. What more could you ask for?

I'll bring the beer in my belly that will keep it from freezing. I'll fill up your cups when we get there.

How's it going everyone? Its been some time since I've been camping, much less anything like this trip. I'm going to try and make it out this year.

Currently I've only used my BigBang bag for 2 nights since I bought it back in 2005, this would be a good time to put it to use.

Who is this Ice Tea? It can't be the real Ice Tea everything is spelled right and this one uses punctuation.

It will be good to see you, Tea!

LT thanks for the words of confidence. Don't worry, they're well placed, not much has changed. I still have terrible language arts skills. Here is a recent example:

I'm rushing to finish what might as well be a damn TPS report while my phone is vibrating more than Jenna Jammison, with calls from my frat brothers already at the bar. I finish my thoughts, hit spell check, drop the attachment in the same e-mail I send every week and fire it up to the Region Controller, who passes it to the VP who reviews it with the CIO.

Monday morning I come in, check my e-mails and see one that really wakes me up. The CIO e-mailed me directly with this: IceTea, thanks for the continued hard work, but the word is PER, not PEE. Don't blindly follow spell check.

oops

Oh I got the kit Jack.... I've just been in Texas for a while now. It drops below 70 and I start to shiver. I'd have just about acclimatized and FYAO will be over.

I went on the snowless FYAO a few years ago.

There will be plenty of adult beverages that would certainly help take the chill off.

I'd stay it up to at least MarkO's nipples now. I skied into Camp Santanoni on Saturday. I brought the snowshoes (MSR's without the tails attached) along to check out some of the buildings. I ended up sinking a good 24 inches into powder while wearing them. The skiing was excellent.

Right now it looks like I'll only arrive on Saturday. Something might change and if it does I'll decide Wenesday.

I'm in the same boat. I switched to a 4 day work week with Friday's off and the one time I actually have something planned, I have to work the Friday. I also don't get Monday off.
