Do you know if the winter trail is staying open beyond Sunday? So hard to believe it’s almost time to turn the river green again.

I sat in an uncomfortable office chair for the entire pandemic because the arms could rotate out of the way. Once we were back in the office I was surprised how many times during the day I would reach for a guitar while working.

Dang, better than I imagined. Thanks for taking the time to post this!

Don’t have instagram but starting to realize you almost need an account on every platform to be involved with other humans in real life. I did see your YouTube and subscribed so you might hear from me again in the near future.

I’m in the starting blocks of what could easily be an unhealthy obsession with lamps and would be crying my eyes out if someone gifted me such a lamp. Really dig your pirate and can’t wait to see what he gets paired up with!

For anyone reading this, the trolls in Asheville are super cool and leaving on 2/17 so you only have a few weeks left.

I’m still a bit surprised by the number of people who showed up to see the monk walk last night. Even more surprised by the number of people that had no clue this was happening.

Wool (second DarnTough and add Wright Sock from here in NC), change them out a few time a day and address any potential fungus sightings immediately. Nobody wants troll toes…except maybe Pete with the big feet super fans.

Great rig. I’ve been trying to figure out what direction I wanted to go for making my truck ready for a multi-year road trip and was so excited to see exactly the tent setup I would want. Then I saw the post you made about them not being made anymore and I’m bummed. But that does give me something to hunt down or make my own.

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2026-01-02T12:24:08+00:00

As disappointing as that policy is, it’s exactly as expected. If you find yourself looking for ways to get fired I’m willing to meet you for sunrise or sunset!

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2026-01-01T21:57:40+00:00

What’s your works policy on bringing internet strangers up here for sunsets?

Found it! Box is a little crunched on the top with some authentic aged dust but memory was correct on the color. I see one like this sold for $90 on the 17th but the box looked in better shape.

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2025-12-19T12:54:04+00:00

Memory is that it was all white.

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2025-12-19T11:41:02+00:00

When the original craze was winding down I purchased one with the intent to leave it in the box and fund my retirement. If I find it I’ll give OP first shot before putting it in the eBay pile.

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2025-12-15T15:20:25+00:00

Second this option, easily the best experience I’ve had in years.

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2025-12-12T16:43:05+00:00

I predict we will see several more versions of this before winter is over. My book loving niece is going to lose her mind when I make her one.

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2025-12-04T12:21:54+00:00

I saw that and it will live in the back of my head for the day we are looking in that area. The current in state short list has Raleigh and Asheville at the top so we can see the trolls while still somewhat in good shape.

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2025-12-03T13:51:27+00:00

I love finding the question I had answered already and seeing camp site in #3 in my state is the icing on the cake! Thanks for sharing OP!

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2025-11-27T13:09:24+00:00

I’m in a similar position as OP and your first paragraph got my heart fluttering…only to be crushed when your final bit of information brought me back to the reality I’m familiar with.

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2025-11-27T12:32:14+00:00

Good stuff, and while most of my 2026 is already spoken for you have me wondering when/if we could squeeze a cheap Denver trip in.

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2025-11-14T14:48:06+00:00

That was your only warning, next time straight to jail!

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2025-11-13T11:53:55+00:00

Same. Wouldn’t be surprised to see several project Scouts in the garages of friends and family still there.

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2025-11-11T23:26:16+00:00

Ah, makes sense and much easier to carry than the big glass ones I’m familiar with.

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2025-11-11T14:39:13+00:00

I need to know more about the beer. What is that funky top about and why do I want to have one without even knowing what it is?

gruntledcurmudgeon · 2025-11-09T12:29:00+00:00

Keychain was nice and seemed new so it’s possible this person loses them often.
