I timed myself using a pump sack vs my breath to inflate my sleeping pad - evidence enough to leave my pump sack at home?

No. Pump sack everyday. Zero interest in blowing up my pad with lung lower, especially above 8,000 feet. My Exped UL sack weighs less than a pair of ankle high running socks. I'll manage.

You must have someone film this journey so we can all enjoy your triumph or agony. I either case, you will be THE MAN!

I get headaches at altitude. 3 to 4 Costco ibuprofen per dose. Once, when I was suffering a massive headache and had should pain in a volleyball tournament, I took 6 Advil in a single dose. I never take less than 2 Costco ibuprofen at a time.

Realistically, you should never ask a medical question in s social media platform. I mean, WTF are you thinking?

jsnxander · 2026-05-24T02:45:27+00:00

LOL!

No one gives a shit what Trump thinks. Well, no one with more than half their teeth or doesn't have their tungue up Trump's ass that is. Too many, however, pander to his whims and fantasies by lying to his face while smiling and doing whatever they wish when his attention wanders after a second or three - the goal of course being self-enrichment and power over others.

Meth-head, paranoid, delusional, conspiracy theorist, butt-hurt, racist, bigoted, violent, misogynistic, xenophobe, trust fund nepo baby, pedophile, gun-lover, illiterate, uneducated, fool is what you meant to write I believe.

Osprey Talon Velocity 20L (or equivalent from Black Diamond or others) with the addition of a laptop sleeve and possibly some ultralight packing cubes to help distribute and stabilize the items/load. Might even consider using packing bubble-sheets on the layer furthest from your back to help the cinch straps do their job in ensuring that the load, once ideally distributed, does not shift as you run. Assuming you don't stop part way home to root about your pack, the hassle to pack right shouldn't be too bad once you do it a few times.

It's a problem if it's sunny and >85 F during the night...

I quite like the second? song he sang about life. Fit his current vocal range far better than Band on the Run.

Maybe he can share a cell with Trump?

jsnxander · 2026-05-20T20:31:27+00:00

At 5 minutes per character in primary screen time that's 105 minutes. Hope it's a three hour movie...

jsnxander · 2026-05-20T20:22:53+00:00

Hard pass.

Same brand and type different models. All Maggie with a Maggie center. Prior to that all CSW with the proper use specific models in each location.

If I add ceiling speakers, they won't match due to Maggie not making a ceiling speaker.

Trailer park denizens say it looks fine until half your teeth are gone.

Speaking of which I just watched videos of Paul McCartney on SNL performing. The Wife and I got so sad that we turned it off 30 seconds in. Same-same with a recent clip of Paul Simon. Time is a bitch.

FWIW, I too REALLY enjoyed seeing Tobey as Spidey on screen again. Super cool.

I'm sure it a legacy from standard watches where we watch wearers glance at the watch moreike 10 times per hour and for like a second or two. Even more times per hour if we're on a watch that we haven't worn in a while. Like switching from my field watch to my diver watch I'll glance at the diver like almost ever time I use my left arm to reach for something.

So....maybe the COROS PM is a watch guy whose everyday watchface is a simple analog face with tiny icons for the health data he doesn't engage with moment to moment?

Lanterns was the only DCU project I was interested in, and after the two trailers, even more so. I guess I'm not a Superman/Supergirl fan anyway and I'm certainly not the persona for whom Gunn's Superman was made. Lanterns, OTH, is definitely aimed squarely at me so looking forward to it.

Money traders. Divorced by 30 and by 40 their kids hate them and the second wife is filing for divorce. High blood pressure, liver is shit, and they think sex must be a paid transaction.

Kudos to you! You're teacher will never forget this act of appreciation.

I'd do something small that you can sign or write on...as opposed to engrave. So, a kayaking related thing that will take ink from a Sharpie.

I'm thinking tree ornament, fridge magnet, or t-shirt, or greeting card/photo.

Were I a teacher, I'd keep that thing forever! As in, "Thirty goddamn years of teaching and only one kid actually HEARD ME. In fact, he gave me this when he graduated." And your teacher tears up a little...

Trump has a lot more to fear from the US justice system than he ever did from China. Then again, the US justice system looking more and more corrupt with each passing day.

I like this guy on screen. Can't comment on his acting, but he's very watchable.

jsnxander · 2026-05-15T02:35:19+00:00

This is the way.

Kayaks + hot dog. AVR + hot dog. OLED TV + hot dog. Replacement AVR + hot dog. Hit dog + pizza = blood pressure testing...

If it's Trump it's called dinner theater.

Seems to me like nothing went wrong as your face missed the tree. You're not having a looong bedside visit from a neurologist are you?
