MCPO, we had snow last wknd. 80s today. We are headed to the mountains next wknd and Dan is packing accordingly. He is a big baby about cold. I’m still not sure which tent we’re taking. He is excited about me being off the grid for 3 days.
My hubby asked me to marry him in Arlington before a Rangers/Yankees game. Nolan was pitching. Hubby was sober. He tells the story with embellishment. And booze.
Scott, it took several years before I would agree to go camping. My dogs have fancier accommodations than I’ll get. We’ve been watching the weather and it looks like air mattress, sleeping bags, and foam mattress as opposed to cots. I am insisting on my butterfly chair and shower.
I did a lot of backpacking. Stuff can happen and you are actually making life and death decisions. It was fun as hell except for the nearly dying parts.
Pups, last year we barely camped because of fire danger. There were bear and mountain lion classes I attended. I hate the fact that I can recognize scat. Red solo cups are the first item on my list.
Wow. I went looking for a clip of Eric Cartman using bear mace when he was a hall monitor on youtube….I can’t believe the number of fatal bear attacks caught on video and posted online. Why would anybody want to see that?
I whittled the most awesome spork ever while waiting to die.
When we decided to make a run for it I jabbed it into a tree and vowed to come back for it if we lived.
Thanks, Sean. I love Billie. BLM trapped a mountain lion at my grammo’s house. I’m bear aware and not afraid. My idea of roughing it is a cabin in Durango but my hubby has other thoughts. Our campsite is pretty modern. Except for no wifi/phone. I could get a satellite phone but it really isn’t worth it. I have lots of weaponry.
Cyn, it is an easy compromise. As long as I get my trashy novels and all the comforts of home. Shopping for a travel trailer so we can take coyote bait with us instead of boarding them at doggie spa.
Slide Rock is what you’re thinking of, and it used to be awesome. Now they have to close it many days of the year because the bacterial or some such count is too high. Icky. My boys love it though.
That’s it! I think that the bacteria is one that is naturally occurring in NM, AZ, and Kauai. Giardia. You just need to rinse off and not get it in your nose. My youngest got it from drinking standing water at the golf course.
Ponder this, a coworker had a box of frozen chicken fall on her head.
Before chicken hit, she was okey dokey.
After chicken hit, her head twitches like she has Parkinsons.

i need a shower now
I wanta get with you……..
and Sister Batril
I’m on my phone. It scares my dogs. I’ve been drinking since the Reds 2nd Inning. Squirrel.
chicken and waffles day!
Luckily, east of the mountains they are calling for rain. However, to the west and north. . . snow.
BTW: I played golf in shorts on Friday.
Lady, step into my Hyundai.
SeanM – Did the Angels play today? My Phillies are sucking this year and I’ll need a American League team to root for.

Mcpo, root for the Rangers. W will be all over the TV with Nolan in October.
We just lost to the O’s 3-2 in 10 innings. However, it’s the first series we’ve won so far this season.
Sean, the O’s have the really cute Retro caps this year.
I saw that before the season started, oso. The Blue Jays have also gone back to a more classic uni.
a American League team to root for.

Sean, I enjoyed watching the O’s and the Jays with the Retro unis. I have a Joe Carter mitt. Apropos of nothing.
Wiser – No.
I’m pretty sure I was at this show:

come to Texas Yankees.
it’s warm here.
“He is excited about me being off the grid for 3 days.”
Will there be trout?
Scott, yes. I don’t eat fish. He has to do all that icky fish stuff away from camp and me.
There is nothing better. Stream to belly in about 5 minutes.
My hubby asked me to marry him in Arlington before a Rangers/Yankees game. Nolan was pitching. Hubby was sober. He tells the story with embellishment. And booze.
Scott, we are doing some Northern NM camping. Lots of trout. I’m packing my cornfed steaks. He can eat fresh all he wants : )
I miss Cranky. Doesn’t mean I want to be known as threadkiller.
Camping…..I get it now. If you were backpacking you would be eating trout.
Camping?! That means a suite without wireless service, right?
Scott, it took several years before I would agree to go camping. My dogs have fancier accommodations than I’ll get. We’ve been watching the weather and it looks like air mattress, sleeping bags, and foam mattress as opposed to cots. I am insisting on my butterfly chair and shower.
I hate camping. I consider it an insult to our ancestors who worked and struggled and died for milennia so that we could have permanent shelter.
Chief, I wish. Our July camping trip has the wireless cabin option but Dan wants me to stay in a tent with him.
I wouldn’t go camping if it mean, camping.
I have not been camping in a while. The last time I was camping a tropical storm hit. Tent in TS = Fail
You’re are bringing steaks with you to the mountains? Aren’t you worried about bea…
Never-mind.
meant
I could camp in this tent. . . if it had wireless for my iPad!

death is stupid.
Scott, they have already had 2 fires in the Gila.
Chief, put a gif of dancing flames on your iPad, cook some S’mores and huddle around it. That’s exactly like camping.
37.8 carbs in a traditional S’more. 45 grams in a meal. Stupid camping. Stupid S’mores.
Oso – How many carbs in an .oz of booze?
MCPO, depends. I have my book and my monitor to gauge
spiking.

BAD NEWS BEARS!
Bears are bad. Mkay.

Because it’s funny when it happens to somebody you don’t know.

Haha Andy. I am glad that I have only encountered little bears here. I loved the grizzly scene in Lonesome Dove.
I heard bears can smell women at the ladytimes.
yurt
>> I heard bears can smell women at the ladytimes.
Like that old joke goes, don’t worry about the bear. You only have to outrun the woman.
Have grizzlies come back to NM?
Dave. that is true. Bears are weak for processed sugars. Bear safety is serious stuff.
Scott, there are anecdotes but no real evidence. Scat isn’t considered evidence.
You can’t dust for scat.
“Setting Free the Bears” was the dumbest idea John Irving ever had for a book.
Not sure how the wookie defense works for bears. I do know that I love Sean.
Dave, I wasn’t a fan of The Hotel New Hampshire either.

Pups, I love that dog!
One of our DS families was just a couple of tents away from the tent that the bears attacked in Yellowstone a couple of years ago.
If I’m “camping”, there had better be 4 sturdy walls between me and Nature.
And air conditioning.
yeah

IMO, “roughing it” is not having a remote control for the DVR.

I have an iPad app for that now. It’s fuckin awesome!
Car in will have an iPad before I do. Kicks Peej*
Okay, Sunday night meeting time. Try not to fall down the well while I’m gone.
Have a good meeting.
wow, bug spray tastes awful.. bleah
Whew…Hi Dave. I thought I killed H2 and FB at the same time. Hadn’t checked twitter.
Ruthorford B Hayes stole a election?
Dave will be crushed!
he stole it like a MAN
There’s no ice when you camp.
Cyn, multiple coolers. One just for beverages. IYKWIM.
Premixed bloodies for breakfast.
I hate camping
Good girl
I’ve never been camping and I’m not about to start. Not for love or money.
Okay. Maybe it depends on how much money.
Cyn, it is an easy compromise. As long as I get my trashy novels and all the comforts of home. Shopping for a travel trailer so we can take coyote bait with us instead of boarding them at doggie spa.
Let’s go camping Cyn. *hands you the key to the spa*
Spa?!
*rubs chin pensively*
Cyn, doesn’t Sedona have a cool swimming hole? I know I like Payson and Heber.

when is this lapeera.. what’sit thing again? I should book a flight and a trailer
I think you’re right about that bacteria. I’ve heard it’s from crop and farmland runoff too. And I think people *do stuff* in the water too.
Lapeeria… I think that’s the name of that bacteria!
Howdy!
You also have to be careful about that water with open cuts.
Howdy X
No it is not lapeeris it is leagoneers
Move on
I got paid $40 bucks today to set up the neighbor’s wireless printer and wifi.
Tomorrow, I’m gonna set up their TiVo.
Thank you Xbad
Revvy and I have some cool ideas
I just cut my finger with a butter knife. No more booze for me tonight. Stupid butter knife.
G’night H2
Lesbianpeerwhatwhat?
>> You also have to be careful about that water with open cuts.
Not with Nurse Wiserbud and a bottle of Jack and a lighter.
Dave, why you kill innocent poat?
Game of Thrones is starting to really diverge from the books!
that’s how I roll
DinT puts another notch in his poat-killing iPad.
Joffrey. Needs to be cut.
Where’s all the wimmens at?
Beasn – Did you read the books?
nite kids.. I kill
Shit. I hate that. There were NO Hostagettes around when I hit “post comment”
Yes, Beasn. You’re a wimmens.
Unless there’s something you forgot to mention.
Chief, I started the first one and then my daughter took it with her to school.
My husband says he gets it. Though, not good enough in the scheme of ‘getting it’ when one is a jackhole.
Unless there’s something you forgot to mention.
I am not one to be an attention whore, like mare.
*shifts on chair*
But they sure picked a kid with a prick face for that part.
Ponder this, a coworker had a box of frozen chicken fall on her head.
Before chicken hit, she was okey dokey.

Store doctor says it’s just stress.
o_O
And with that turd, my job here is done.
Damn. Gets quiet early here on a Sunday night.
hey cyn, what movie did ya see?
well the life of the party Turded us!
New poat is up and running.
