Jesus that's nuts

 

Teton Celsius XL -25F sleeping bag

 

I'd overheat in that haha, Teton bags are nice tho

 

Why does god need such a large advertising budget? Isn't his greatness sufficient on its own?

 

Can only imagine how nicely done that van is.

So much room for all sorts of shit.

Old pic from Moab; just a Nemo sleeping bag and Therm-A-Rest sleeping pad. Didn't buy anything for car camping or such trips, just used my goodies that I've had for many years from backpacking.

If it was extra cold, I had my woobie with me too (bunched up camoflauged blanket).



Took multiple trips elsewhere with the wife where it hit 20's at night and in the mornings and we were fine with just a large Rumpl puffy blanket; she gets cold easily if that says anything and the blanket with a warming layer was more than warm enough for her.

Holy shit that gets you warm real quick (retains body heat well) without causing you to overheat or sweat at all. Wish I had bought one many years ago but no worries since we've had ours for going on 2 years now; we take it on any and every trip we go now.

 

Heater in this is plenty


not the outhouse

 

Today's a day to stay in and relax; freaking long tiring weekend.

 

I get to drive back to school

 

School been easy for ya this year?

 

It's old but nice. I often dream about living out of it full time but it just too rooted I guess.

 

It's just school

 

Everyone finally left. It was exhausting. Wife is passed out watching Harry Potter and I'm playing some flight sim and reading a book. Gonna take all afternoon to decompress from the weekend.

 

True, for some it comes easy and others it doesn't.

I always found school easy, but this whole culinary thing...it's fast paced

 

Shit you'd think mine would be passed out; getting Christmas cards ready for sending out.

Buddy and I were talking Flight Sims just days ago since he built a new PC to run one on 4K; what joysticks do you use?

 

I'm not gonna say it's easy

but anyone can do it if they want to

 

I run the Saitek X52. They are old, probable 12 yrs at this point but work really well. The new flight sim is incredible and i sink a lot of time into it. The last update for their 40yr anniversary brought some really cool old planes into the mix. The live weather is pretty neat, fun to fly where you know the weather is shit.

Biggest issue i have now is my wife used the PC to download some music for a project she was working on and infected the computer with a bunch of malware and idk how to get rid of it. i guess "dont download anything" was a bit vague... the game runs fine but the random pop ups kill me.

 

Ooh, nice setup.

Been awhile since I've heard the name Saitek, but yeah I'm familiar with them for sure. Had a Saitek joystick replace a Microsoft setup I used to play Mechwarrior with.

I ask because I've been wanting to run a flight sim again since building a new PC recently. I'm just not going to spend $5k on a PC and another $5-7k on a custom cockpit and 4K screen setup like my friend is

I do need a joystick though.
