My idea of back pack camp setup


Easy peasy and indoor plumbing lol .

Sounds like my day here ,

About 0100hrs one of my CO detectors starts chirping so I just pull the battery and deal with later this morning . Now it's 1300hrs and now the other CO detector starts its single chirp every 30 seconds warning

So I get fresh batteries and replace them , sure enough same warning chirp on both . Thinking they need to be reset try that and that doesnt help .try another set of batteries and again same scenario

So I then look at the replacement date (end of operating life) and it's 8 months from now so I then I go get new detectors and finally its quiet

 

And tomorrow I have to go back and test all the batteries in the solar array. Come to find out they were being tested by bank, not by each one being isolated.

 

Where were you at in Illinois? I was at Chanute ‘91-‘92 for electrical-environmental training. Being prior service I was class leader, only lost one trainy under my watch. I think she wanted out. Ahhh, nostalgia.

 

Two big T storms to the NE of me near 29 Palms and Joshua Tree Nat park . Have getting numerous severe weather alerts from since 1500hrs

I’ve seen that somewhere before

 

Kristi and I both were in tech school at Chanute in 1984. We were stationed at Scott AFB from 1987 to 1994; I did a remote unaccompanied tour Turkey from 1989 to 1990.

 

The wife and I have talked about something like that, maybe a little smaller but with bathroom and all. We use this and it works well, for now.

 

Hence the "Baby" in Baby Sister.

 

Work out done - check
1 gallon + of water drank - check (15 trips to the bathroom - check)
back yard cut - check
dogs walked - very short due to lightening in area - check

evening all

Edit: Zoie hosed off/semi bathed to remove the stench from whatever she rolled in

 

Hi Weesa.... Yes and no. Have gotten smarter as I have gotten older - spend more time in the A/C and drink more (and pee more) while working outside.

How are you?

 

It's only 19 foot full fiberglass fully loaded out weighs 4k next size down is 17 foot though both have wet baths.

 

used to think I could get done faster if I didn't drink so much.... but after last ER visit, really trying to stay up on the hydration better.

for getting away and camping. I know - where has the year gone??

Kiddo's are all good. Emmy started 7th grade last week - she's in a year round school. Boys are growing like weeds and driving dad nutz.
