Hope you enjoy it. Don’t worry too much about what you’re forgetting. Over time you’ll have a list of steps for getting ready, and for setting up once you get where you’re going. It’s a process, takes time to pare things down to what you really need, and will get easier with each trip out.
I’ve not heard the term dispersed camping before either. Guess it’s the same as dry camping (no power or potable water supplied). Done it a week at a time with our travel trailer on state land. Just making sure we had plenty of water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning up was my only big concern.
I bought a couple usgs maps of the local mountains about 8 years ago, but that was the last time. Used to buy the map book for Michigan every few years when I lived there. Had pretty detailed prints of all the roads, waterways, state lands, and even marked hiking trails. Great for finding streams for fishing and places to camp. But now printed maps seem hard to find. Local gas stations don’t have them, and I’ve noticed that rest stops on the highway don’t give them out anymore either. Used to hit rest stops in every state I drove through when traveling to get new ones for the glove box.
Found $500 that way last year. Windy afternoon, blew into the parking lot from the main road. My thought of “holy shit, cool!” was tempered by the next thought of “this is gonna suck for whoever dropped it”.
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Scepter televisions are a great option, no “smart” features at all. Bought two of them about 6 years ago and no issues.
I’ve seen elderly folks do that a few times. Not on the shoulder, but still in their lane, backing up into oncoming traffic. (Yes, I did spend some time living in Florida.)
If you have a SodaStream at home, could just mix a large batch and not worry about carbonation loss.
Antarctica is good. Can’t find it in stores around me, so I order a case every once in a while.
I really wish it would make a comeback. Josta was great!
I remember this happening, and the pet food scandal just before it. Melamine was being added to pet food and milk powder to falsely increase their protein values. Enough to cause kidney failure and sometimes death. I used to do protein analysis for food products, and could see how easy it would be for food companies to cheat like this. The percent nitrogen content in a sample is used to estimate the protein value. Melamine powder contains a lot of nitrogen, so it’s blended in to bump up the final protein values. Really shitty thing to do, knowing that it’s toxic.
Quality control chemist testing pharmaceuticals. Most of what we do is for clinical trial use and research purposes. It’s been a good job.
Commodore basic on the PET computer, back around 1981-1983. My grade school had three of them in the library, and since my mom was a teacher, she would sign one out for summer break and bring it home if any were available.
The Dirtbag Diaries, The Moth, This American Life
None of these are programming related. I think quite a few people know about the last two, but Dirtbag Diaries probably less so. If you enjoy the outdoors, hiking, climbing, biking, whatever, it’s worth checking out.
Bro Hymn by Pennywise is playing right now. Listening to the punk channel on XM.
Thanks, I’ll look for a copy.
Logo. 🐢
Yeah, not really a programmer. Logo and Basic were pretty much the extent of my learning as a kid back in the early 80’s. Wouldn’t mind getting into python if I had some spare time. Keep coming across stuff where being able to do python scripting would be useful.
That would also be acceptable.
This took a lot longer to happen than I expected. Do Putin’s plane next.
Trick, no treat.
