Ramblings of a sweatty man


I like to sit on my porch in the evenings and relax with something cold to drink and listening to the radio or the birds chirp. I like to work in the garden pulling weeds or making things grow. I'm realizing that when I was growing up, my dad sometimes did the same things. Hmm.

After years of backpacking I'm realizing I don't have any car camping gear.I'm looking for one of those old green Colman camping stoves. If someone wants to clean out their basement I'd be up for taking it.

I'm trying to decide what to do this fall. Paddle the Delaware River Trail while camping on islands along the way, spend several days camping in the Catskills, or go south and camp in Cape Henlopen State Park? One of these years we are just going to start driving west. Sarah hasn't seen the Rockies, much less camped on the tundra at 11,000 feet with views of mountains 50 miles away. Why do I keep ignoring these adventures I know I could have? The Black Forest Trail would be nice to do some weekend.

I have to go drive the tractor and wagon now. The campers seem to always love it and I don't know why.

Anyone have a garden gnome they don't want? Anyone's neighbor have a garden gnome? Sarah would like a largish one.

Iraq

This is a hard documentary to watch, but it was very helpful in clarifying my understanding of why Iraq is the way it is. I'm sure you could get it through netflix.
