I've been meaning to take a multi-day backwoods hike for a couple of years. I never quite get around to it. I even have one dog trained well enough off-leash to take with me.
Define "multi-day"... 2 or 3 is easy. A week gets more challenging. More than week takes noteworthy planning, and the right gear. All are quite doable... Playing with maybe doing a thru-hike of the AT with my son when he graduates high school. We've got 8 years to get ready... Maybe even do a partial during a summer break if I am ever in a work situation that I can work it out...

Mine is in October, so I assume they skipped yours so there would be more funds for mine.
Sure, sure... that's how it is... but then, you probably do need some shark repellent or tires...

It's also a matter of budget. You're a Highly Paid Admin. A mere Senior Moderator salary will barely pay for the yacht. Adding the Ferrari really stretches my budget...

There are certain states which should be required to have no speed limits.
Right? Because... who are you going to run into? NOBODY lives there! I just remember driving for hours in this pool of light from my headlights.... The signs that tell you the next area inhabited by ANYTHING is 160 miles away.... Ugh....

I'm just looking to do a 2-3 day thing. I'd love to do a week, but frankly I habitually over-pack my backpack, so I'm not well suited to longer hikes unless I regularly take shorter ones to work on that bad habit. Besides, I'm not sure how I'd handle going that long without talking to the Hobbit. I'd be making Eddie Izzard references to the wildlife, and they just don't seem to get them.

Was up early on a saturday, so went to BJJ class this morning (first time in about a year). Class was all lower belts (blue/white) besides the instructor. I learned two things.

1: I am out of shape, cardio wise.

2: I did a lot better than I expected (rather than losing with maybe holding my own against the new new people, I was winning, and holding my own against the higher belts). No clue how that happened...I suck at BJJ

I love porcelain ware but, Nope. To be fair, I will have to go back and read the article but if you get items like those they need to be functional for Pete's sake. :)
There are not actually porcelain. The artist creating them liked the look of porcelain but was aware of the endurance issues. So she created a heavy-duty polymer with the look of porcelain but far higher durability. Since her point was to emphasize the issue with common misconceptions about women, she wanted to create something that LOOKED very delicate and fragile but could whack your head off in reality.

Four fitness classes in two days. A very hard lesson learned. Ow.... Suffice it to say, after doing belly dancing and Zumba yesterday, when I came to Barre this morning, I couldn't find an arabesque in broad daylight with a magnifying glass.

Your being silly xue. Sharks would never do such a heinous thing. They are just misunderstood.

I got a new waxwood staff. It feels smooth And waxy. I guess that's why it's called waxwood.
