My problem with camping now is that I have to get up about every two hours, and sometimes the latrine is FAR away from the tent. Also, my wife blames me for breaking a tent door zipper, accusing me of being impatient.
Beat me to it.I'm sure your wife would have complained more if you hadn't got out of the tent fast enough!
Great photo of your HHB. Your stag has great character. I'll take an order of those beef tips please.Bill, that's a beauty. I know exactly how you feel, can't put my finger on it, but this knife just speaks to me. My eldest daughter pointed to my small collection last night, which includes a couple nice and rare GECs, and asked me which was my favorite. There was no hesitation, the HHB. She agreed
No way! Best line was: "Dying ain't much of a living, boy." (Josey Wales) Or was it: "When I drink whiskey, I drink whiskey, and when I drink water, I drink water." (Quiet Man) Or was it: "Leave the gun, take the cannoli." (Godfather) Or maybe: "Do ya feel lucky, punk?" (Dirty Harry) Or: "They come in pints?!"Best line in a movie ever.

wants to play Rosewood Covers. Here are mine - have no idea which is which Rosewood but here they are.
Still, the Rorschach quote is best, but the Whales quote comes close.No way! Best line was: "Dying ain't much of a living, boy."

So close to God's Country.
Another good one, said by Hank Worden's character after John Wayne's character has read from the Bible over a fresh grave in Red River: "Planting and reading, planting and reading....why is it when you kill a man, you gotta bring in the Lord as a partner on the job?"
Still, the Rorschach quote is best, but the Whales quote comes close.
Also... "It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. You take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have." (My favorite movie of all time).
So close to God's Country.
We are heading up to God's Country in a couple of weeks... mccloud.
My wife loves cabin camping... I enjoy it too as long as it's mixed with isolation.
Best line in a movie ever.
I have mostly camped with lightweight tents, OK in good weather, but the last time I camped in a period of prolonged bad weather, it took me a week to physically recover! Every day I wake up I'm camping.
Redrum! Redrum!
That Schwinn bike light is a pretty good deep red, and the old one with the c-cell batteries isn't too far off. I'll keep an eye peeled for red LED Christmas lights.
I've just been hearing about red light therapy for the eyes. I find that easier to believe than the claims for skin, which were news to me also. (Either BBC News or scitechdaily.)
Hey! Maybe red light will grow my hair back!
There's a guy who lives at the bottom of my street, and when I first lived here, he bent my ear for 2 hours solid, telling me about red light therapy. He has terrible eyesight, and refuses to wear glasses, so now I slip past on the other side of the street without him seeing me! Now all of a sudden Jack

It wasn't in the movie, or even in the comics I don't think, but I had a publicity leaflet for Watchmen, which had a Rorschach saying: "If only the scum of the earth had one throat, and I had my hand around it!" Hardcore!
Thanks for the heads up, ED. We enjoy the route better anyways.
It will be in my pocket, as usual... So I'd have to forget to wear pants.
Who watches the Watchmen?
Maybe some day, if I ever get over my insane fear of flying.

I used to know a guy years ago, a well-known author and mountaineer now, who had a terrible fear of flying. He'd climbed some of the world's highest peaks, but was actually scared of heights too! He would always have to go overland, except when going to climb McKinley, when he flew, but spent most of the flight throwing up in the toilet! I don't know if he ever got over it, haven't seen him in 20 years, but my pal found hypnosis has helped - before that he either took Valium, got drunk, or both!
Hope everyone has a good day, and I'll catch up with y'all sometime tomorrow, when I'll be carrying my Hartshead Barlow again 
Why? ED goes without pants all the time.
I've tried all that... Didn't work.
Have a nice evening and hope the weather is nice for you tomorrow.
Outstanding Lambsfoot Rob
Good Morning Guardians and anyone else looking in.
Feels like a Standard day but which one to carry?The 2019 SFO Ironwood; the SFO Ebony; or the Buffalo Horn? The Ironwood I think.

Who's to say I'm not sitting at my desk in my skivvies as I type this. I'll neither confirm nor deny it!!!
Mate, thanks for the comment and your concern. But i'm completely unfazed by the lockdown, i am used to it and we have escaped this virus fairly unscathed in the scheme of things. After all the terrible scenes i have seen from your country and around the world, i feel so lucky and blessed. As humans we are good at adapting, so back in March when we went into our first lockdown i just changed everything i did to fit the circumstances, i have kept doing the same things after lockdown finished anticipating another lockdown. So nothing has or will change for me until we have more clarity to as what will happen, and that may take a while. Thanks for your thoughts though, means a lot mate, and you take care and look after yourself and family, and i hope your weather improves, won't be long before your into winter.Sorry for missing your post before Dylan, hope you're keeping well my friend. Looks like another nice evening on your b
Interesting article Rob, thanks for the link
Thank you for the kind words Dennis, I always looki forward to your posts
I heard about the lockdown mate, sorry to hear that, I hope things round soon
Good Morning Guardians, it's taken me a while to get online again this morning, still having post-update PC problems
took Valium, got drunk, or both!
