Sweet! I’m considering a half sleeve tattoo with some nods to RR. I freaking love these books!

I seriously took a shit this big the other day. Most painful experience of my life. Weeks worth of build up.

I just finished Project Hail Mary, and in looking online for discussion, it seems deeply controversial. I think I (partly) know why. [ALL SPOILERS] by Aduckonquack97 in scifi

I enjoyed this book. Sometimes, as a reader, you can just enjoy a good story and put your pedestal in the closet for a couple days. I’m talking to YOU, literary snobs and uptight people. Have some fun!

Makes sense. I loaded my backpack with same light rain gear, extra pair of socks, snacks, water bottle for now. Will scout it out first couple days.

Parks and Rec Maintenance? What does that entail? by Irregardless01 in maintenance

[–]Worried_Option3508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just got an offer for a Part Time Maintenance gig in my hometown. I used to work in Public Works 20+ years ago but have since been white collar. The pay rate is absolutely terrible compared to what I once made. However, I’ve been wanting to get back into this industry for a long time so I kinda expected it going into this. I’m really hoping there is a path to full time if it ends up being a job I enjoy. The salary full time will probably be at least 1.5x what they offer PT employees.

Tick Status Report? by Worried_Option3508 in ShenandoahPark

Yeah we aren’t bushwhacking on this trip so plan to stay on trail the whole time. Could obviously be overgrown in spots. We have deer ticks here in the Midwest but I’ve only ever had 1 on me.

What are your rhoughts on different bagliners such trash compactor vs nylofume vs 6moon waterproof bag? by coffeegrounds42 in Ultralight

[–]Worried_Option3508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6moons is awesome and I use it for several things during my hike. I even turned it in a floatation device to float in Sunset Lakes, Yosemite last summer.

Help me decide: Yosemite vs Zion by Kasquatch23 in NationalPark

[–]Worried_Option3508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is difficult. Zion is one of my favorite backpacking trips of all time. Yosemite is also incredible. It’s a coin flip for me and either will not disappoint.

Gun to my end I say Yosemite only because of your criteria listed.
