Maybe your neighbors, would expose themselves to you?

WonderWartHog99 replies on Jan 30, 2019:

Deep woods = no roads, poorly marked trails, if they exist. Among overnight hikers one often hears of "man trails." That means no trail and guessing how to get anywhere while pushing the undergrowth aside. For those seeking solitude and good chance of getting hopeless lost, the deep woods are the place to be. I think it's unlikely my neighbors, all of whom are fundamentalist Baptists, would leave home, hunt down my balloon and wave their junk at me. They can do that in front of my home. Why head out into the deep woods to do that? Overall, most Americans hate to walk ANYWHERE. Those doing overnight hikes are a relatively rare breed.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Jan 30, 2019:

I will have to dedicate my book on camping to you. I've given up on women who will carry their own backpack for a romantic over night trip. I have been able to find women who are happy to go glamping with day hikes from the campground. They want big tents and so much supplies that the truck shocks sag. One wanted me to bring a row boat. For details on that story and others, join my group at &AdultTentCampingHikingDixie ONE TIME a gal got fed up with organized campsites and keeled over from the weight of her pack 100 yards from the trail head. I think she went a LITTLE over the edge with a cast iron hibachi. So far, no overnight backpacking trips with a gal. Like you I have what L.L.Bean said was a two person ultra light. It would be ideal for backpacking if the other person doesn't roll over.

One of those things I don't think I'll ever understand.

I prefer to go camping in the mountains where cell phone and GPS signals go to die. First time I visited a mountain campground, I clicked on the radio search button on the invalid theory I could find the local NPR station. At the time I was addicted to a weekend radio show, Parrie Home Companion. (NPR has disowned the show since then and does not broadcast old shows). No radio signal. No cell phone signal. No GPS signal. I didn't brother to turn on our battery powered television after that. Many hikers depend on devices like that (not the TV). Therefore if something goes terribly wrong (see photo below) and they get lost, a rescue balloon would be handy. You can buy small blimps that do the same thing with the motto of your choice (for example "Follow us. Bring libations.")

Give it a few years.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Jan 28, 2019:

> I was summarizing what I had read. I was asking WHERE you had read it. That's because when I went searching for a source that said the "rich white kids" had been invited to the White House, I couldn't find it. If internet search engines can't find a White House invitation, odds are there hasn't been one. It is abundantly clear from way too many news sources "rich white kids" stared Nathan Phillips, the Omaha native American elder, down ABSOLUTELY NONE of the sources I found said the kids had been invited to the White House. Since nobody has provided a creditable news source that says they were invited to White House and I can't get a creditable answer that they were, I conclude it's a case of their invitation was a true story somebody just made up. Fake news: why I check out more than one source.

@Cutiebeauty Whenever Petunia cooks the clean up is massive. The sink overflows. Last night she made a spectacularly bad gumbo. She even had a failure with ALMOST idiot proof "success rice" to serve with the gumbo. One clue why the sink overflows is when she asked me for a SECOND pair of kitchen sheers. She wasn't going to clean the FIRST one after she'd used it. She used SIX of our largest serving bowls for a one pot meal. Just the two of us. I do my best to keep her from cooking. It works 98% of the time. I've yet to have her clean up the kitchen. We've got enough left over mouth searing gumbo I could give you to take home for a family gathering because she NEVER cooks a SMALL amount. She avoids eating her left overs.

@SaucyCheryl Your syntax confuses me. I've had my share of women drop over because they can't make a home cooked meal. One memorable evening Vamosing Verlene and her friend Suzi dropped over unannounced. Cocktails were poured but I wasn't planning to cook them anything until Verlene said "You might have to sleep with him, but his famous fried rice is worth it." It was a memorable evening. I think my fried rice is over rated but why should I argue with a billing like that? It was a less memorable evening tonight because Petunia tried to make instant gumbo. It's a long simmering stew and she had a heavy hand with the red pepper flakes. It was watery. She didn't make a rue. It wasn't entirely her fault. She was trying a new recipe from a cookbook. She tried to make amends by adding under cooked "success" brown rice. Ever seen boil in a bag "success rice"? It for people who can't measure rice with a measuring cup and can't stand over a pot of boiling rice, stirring frequently. When Petunia was single, she ate out almost every night unless it was a nuke it and eat it meal.

I am waiting for Petunia to arise before I start banging pots. It's her day to sleep in. Her super power would be sleeping in if it wasn't for her arch nemeis having to pee.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Jan 25, 2019:

@Cutiebeauty Update: Petunia didn't want oatmeal for breakfast. Instead she had Cheerios. I found she'd left about two ounces of white wine in her glass from last night. I used it to make cheese sauce and poured it over a four day old biscuit for breakfast. It was second cousin to fondue. After Percy FINALLY polished off his can of Big Lot's ocean fish and tuna cat food, I opened up the non-discount version. It cost ten cents more at Walmart. He almost inhaled it. Big Lot version not so much. Prior to that, he had to run up to Petunia to get his six tiny kitty treats. He goes into high "feed me" mew mode until he jumps up in her recliner, gets a hug (he hates hugs but he'll sell out for a six second hug) and got his appetizer. Before he gets a hug, I got a hug from Petunia. She never offers me an appetizer. :-( I reward her hug with a cup of freshly brewed black coffee. Today's morning lesson: get better wine, feed the cat the good stuff.

Who else relates to this??

@Soarfeet Visit my group at &AdultTentCampingHikingDixie and do tell. I have been running it for a few weeks and need more members. Therefore, I've been telling tales to tell around the campfire. Petunia wants us to run away to Dahlonega for their rental yurts. I think they have a winery there and the tourist trap "pan for gold" semi-scam. A person buys a bucket of mud with a WHOLE fleck of gold in it. If you find it and sneeze, it'll blow away. If the owners of that scam find a nugget in that mud, you won't get it. Most of those kind of places will sell a fleck of gold in a bottle so you won't have to pan for it.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Jan 25, 2019:

@Pbpierson2 Warning: One must pee quietly, and deep into the woods, enough away from camp, so not to remind her that she's married to an arguabily questionable alcoholic. These days we put up a huge tent with enough room for a pot to piss in because our favorite camping area (Smoky Mountains National Park) is a rain forest. Top of the list of things Petunia doesn't want to do is cop a squat in the woods during a thunderstorm in the middle of the night. Thar's bears out there! The tent also comes with a divider wall so nobody has to watch the potty action or like whatever dude. I'm too jaded to put up the divider wall. As a young impressionable teenager, my father and I were cooped up in tent at night during a thunderstorm. Dear old dad, always wanting to leave a good example, hung his dick out the tent and let it fly out the door. It was dark. Nobody watching. A former (RIP?) told me she'd rather pee in the woods than take the quarter mile hike to the campground public toilet. Jean used to brag she only drank two gallons of vodka a week. Each member of the Lewis and Clark had about two gallons to last them two years. Back then, one of keys of military campaigns was bring enough booze that when it was gone the troops were too far away from home to call it quits without pillage. After that first pot of morning espresso, I start rambling.

At a White House press conference, Accosta insisted on asking follow up questions that Trump was ignoring. When Accosta persisted an intern tried unsuccessfully to remove Accosta's microphone. After that, Trump ordered that Accosta would not be allowed in White House press conferences. Because of a court ruling, Accosta is allowed back in White House press conferences. I am assuming Trump will continue to ignore questions from him. For more details, see: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/16/business/media/cnn-acosta-trump.html

WonderWartHog99 replies on Jan 24, 2019:

>take note farm labor need note . . . They need "not." Trump supporters don't the believe story behind Alabama's lack of farm workers. Side issue: Alabama schools were encouraged to turn in illegals who sent their children to public school. One legislation we need is a farmer worker's recruitment plan in Mexico because most Americans won't do stoop farm work 12 to 14 hours a day, no minimum wage, no overtime, no benefits. Down at the local farmer's market, the farmers complain about the local citizenry that will do farm work partly because the legals take breaks without asking for a break, partly because they won't show up on day two and won't work as hard as the illegals. After hour two of picking strawberries, I'll quit. This is one reason there are so many "you pick" farms around me.

I have a plan. Not a good plan.

I was hoping to go for an overnight backpacking trip on the Smoky Mountain National Park's Charles Bunion Trail. In my book (Happy Campers and Other Tall Tales) I mentioned "There are ridge runner sort of hikes from this point [New Foundland Gap], most notably Charles Bunion Trail, which was named for the similarity between hiker Charles Conner’s sore bunion and a bare rock. It’s the only thing that ever will make Charles famous." I wanted it to be an overnight trip so I wouldn't wind up getting blisters and bunions. Other people tell me they make the Charles Bunion trail a day hike. Because I'm a fat asthmatic, anything over 6,000 feet makes me gasp for breath and move slowly along the trail. I didn't want to be stuck out on the trail in the dark with dead batteries in my head lamp. I wanted a gal that can carry her own supplies and her dog was going to be her pack animal. Park won't let people bring their dogs on the trail. One of their lodges is supplied by the park's alpaca train. They also have bridal paths but they're not for overnight trips. I used to say I wanted a lusty woman with a strong back for overnight backpacking trips but I'm willing to settle for a lusty woman with a pack animal. An alpaca would do.

I stole it from Sam Weller, a character in Charles Dicken's first novel The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club (better known as the Pickwick Papers). It's also a fine old literary tradition: if you got to steal, steal from the best. Warning: I also use euphemisms.

However, she loves the fancy Dan coffee. They have their own line pastry and they let patrons bring in pastry from the bakery across the street. Some patrons order their food delivered from other restaurants. I refer to the place as husband day care. She hates it because it makes her the designated driver.
