Serenity, did you ever finish talking Babyhog into coming?

Since you are going to the big meet and are buying a shirt from Al I'll just leave your resurfaced rocker arms with him to give to you. That will mean I get to sleep an extra hour on Tuesday since I have to work Monday night.

and it means there is an extra reason for you to make to THE BIG BASH .... hee hee hee Grin

Monday's forcast is in FAIR & SUNNY, highs in mid 80's

Chiggers & ticks out in them there bushes -- It's OK, you can come on in out of the cold. Make yourself at home at the campfire and hold another cold one (temporarily of course, they evaporate so fast)

Hey you guys, I'm not gonna have to worry about getting attacked by a bigfoot am I? There are alot af those bigfoots out there in the woods of N.C. Should I bring my Bigfoot gun?

http://www.examiner.com/x-32018-Strange--Mysterious-Facts-Examiner~y2010m6d14...
Knobby, the Bigfoot of Upper Cleveland County, North Carolina, has returned to familiar surroundings.

The area around Carpenter's Knob was famous for more than a dozen Bigfoot sightings in the late 1970s. The sightings attracted international attention and researchers and the curious descended on the area around Casar to search for the elusive hominid.

But then the sightings stopped.

Until now.

Recent witness and self-described "mountain man" Timothy Peeler describes seeing a man-like beast that stood over 10 feet tall, with dark hair and a long gray beard. It grunted and screeched like a "night bird.”

North Carolina was also the setting of a 2009 sighting by Mike Greene that yielded thermal video footage known as “The Squeaky Thermal.” Greene obtained the mysterious video images by leaving his camera unattended in the woods and baiting the location with food and small toys, including Zagnut bars and squeaking bathtub toys, hence the name "Squeaky."

The Cleveland County Sheriff's office says Bigfoot sightings in the area are few and far between.

That may be about to change.

Well getting down to crunch time and starting to cull and replace things in my pack as "necessary", "might need", and "what was I thinking?". What all does the cabin have and camp store have? Closest place for beer and soda or does that need to be "imported"? Seen old feller's list, that's a good start, raingear etc. already factored. (I hope) Help a newbee out...What else am I forgetting? The itch is getting STRONGER!!! 6 days and counting!!!

Let's see, I just have two small saddle bags to pack into.

I always pack new pants, bathing suit, underwear, socks, long and short sleeve shirts, toothbrush, tooth paste, razor, required medications, sunblock, lots of cash money, wallet with charge card. Cell phone. Small camera.

Two 12 mm wrenches (clutch adjust) one 10mm wrench, adjustable wrench, phillips screwdriver.

First aid kit, pain meds, extra footpegs, quart of oil, water bottle of spare gas.

Optional (if room exists) is rainsuit, spare shoes.

Fully a quarter of what I pack is for other people, in case of man down or break down. The first aid kit has a lot of neosporin, pain meds, sterile wraps and ace bandages in it. It is a road rash kit, basically.

I intentionally wear stronger, thicker padded shoes as peg vibration, leg fatigue and such is minimized by doing so.

The most useless thing I pack is the cell phone, but my wife insists that I charge it and take it and call her whenever I have a signal so she can tell me how much she hates me going off on these "suicide trips".
