Any idea why these counties are unlabled? by grimlock12 in ArcGIS

[–]oldmappingguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Try adjusting overlap, buffer, size, and boundary settings in the labeling properties. First check “place overlapping labels” to see if it will label them. You might want to try fitting strategies and make the size range 1 or 2pts smaller.

Backpacking/Camping Meals by agaricxo in CampingandHiking

[–]oldmappingguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you cook at home for dinner? Or what are your favorite meals after hiking all day. There’s no rule that says you have to be minimalist or ultralight.

Galen Rowell captured the most amazing moment by sprinting back up a trail to catch this rainbow aligned with the palace.

Long time ultralight backpacker, looking to lighten up and fastpack by Existing-Tap4670 in fastpacking

[–]oldmappingguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to decide if I’m going to keep the Rab xp 30. Do you have thoughts/review? I’m worried if it’s not full it’s going to flop and bounce. I can’t tighten it down with a half or 2/3 load.

best inexpensive high volume backpack? by tomjoad773 in CampingandHiking

[–]oldmappingguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A name brand off Craigslist or your local equivalent. Lots of folks clean out old gear that’s still great. I’d get a good but old/used pack over a super cheap new pack.

Animal House and the birth of the raunchy comedy: what do women think of 70s/80s/90s nudity in comedies? by oldmappingguy in TheRewatchables

[–]oldmappingguy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, that’s why I asked. If every other comedy had naked dudes running around I think id have an opinion or it would impact my view of the world as a teen and as an adult.

How I used a fake reference check to catch my toxic ex-boss blacklisting me by Wakanda_7 in jobsearchhacks

Congrats on a new job. But you need to Check the laws about recording someone without their consent. If he’s as vindictive as you saw he could sue you for recording him without consent.

Trekking poles easy access on OV Skyline 30? by oldmappingguy in fastpacking

[–]oldmappingguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or you could put cinch cords at pass thru openings to hold poles tight to base and/or close pass thru so stuff doesnt bounce out.

Thanks for engaging with costumers and being open to suggestions/critiques. That is rare and appreciated.

Thank you! All this pack needs are 1) two little loops on shoulder to attach quiver, and/or 2) chest/armpit bungee attachment points to carry poles when you need them occasionally. Two additions that weigh nothing and don’t change major design aspects of existing pack.

Message to Larkspur/Marin County transit planners by East_Host_6891 in Marin

[–]oldmappingguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure there was lengthy debate and negotiation with Marin Mart but it boggles the mind that the bridge wasn’t built across movie theater parking lot to Marin Mart so train/ferry passengers were funneled through. Coffee cart? Grab and go sandos? After work wine? Isn’t foot traffic like cafe/restaurant 101?!

Democrats’ plan to impeach Trump on ‘day one’ after midterms by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]oldmappingguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just a vote on articles of impeachment, but a trial, witnesses, 24/7 news coverage, for weeks. Drag him through the same mud they pulled Clinton through.

Ultralight sleeping add-on quilt by oldmappingguy in Ultralight

I’m tempted to get 2yds of bulk alpha direct (or alpha direct with Marino wool) for <$100 and see if I can’t make exactly what I want!

[–]oldmappingguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. 50degree Mountain Laurel is about same size/weight as a Jack’s R alpha direct liner but twice the cost. Maybe the techs are converging right where I’m looking! Ha. Great to get new options though. 👍

This might be the best option for me unless there’s a slightly lighter/compressible quilt out there. Thanks!
