Went Winter camping for the first time ever.  Now before you dismiss this due to how nice the weather was.  We hiked into the mountains in Allegany State Park in New York.  The snow was two feet deep and the temperature went down to -2 degrees in the night time.  We did see some bear tracks.  I wasn't sure if they would have been up yet.  We did luck out with the weather for the most part.  It wasn't windy, and the sun was out for most of the day.  Overall the experience was a good one.  There were times where I was frustrated with having to post hole through snow, and every step was tiresome.  We hiked about 6 or 7 miles each day.  It's a beautiful park, and it's kept in pristine condition.

The night that we stayed in a lean to we had heard a knocking similar to a baseball bat off of a tree.  We had no idea what it was, we just kind of ignored it.  According to the internet that's the noise Sasquatch's make when communicating with each other.

Lean to - shelter that is built to sleep in that shields you from the elements.
Post hole - Being the first person to walk through the snow. 

Adventure Guide sale was this morning.  Found a winter jacket that was regularly $365 and purchased it for $110.  It might be time to retire the classic brown leather jacket.  Burt Reynolds has been calling for it back anyways.

Went to the Ponderosa for an Easter buffet on the way back from New York.  I hope they have medical staff in there.  The average age was 75 or over.   

Stayed at a hotel called the Dudley.  It was one of the first hotels to have an elevator.  Franklin Roosevelt had stayed there because of this.  He was having medical issues that made it hard for him to walk up the stairs.  People from all around the world would stay there just to ride the elevator.  I think they still have the same exact machine.  It's a death trap, it sounds like it's moving the earth when it moves up and down.

Game of Thrones, Walking Dead Finale, Baseball Opening Day, oh my!

Has there ever been a day where your speakers sound better then they usually do?

Ad Astra is this coming weekend.  There is finally an author there that I have read a book from.  Jim Butcher from the Harry Dresden books is going to be there.  That's right, thee Jim Butcher.  3/4 of my Facebook friends are either rolling their eyes or whispering under their breath "what a nerd."

I thought that I had the most beautiful of running style until I saw a video of it.  It's still a nice run, but not as nice as I had once thought.

How can anybody believe in Bigfoot?  There are never any tracks left.  Unless Bigfoot floats just above the ground similar to a Dalek they do not exist. 
 
Have you ever been to a grocery store that only sells one type of shampoo?  Ain't nobody talking about a variety store, talking about a grocery store.  They sold one type of shampoo, two types of deodorants, and thirty types of potato chips ya turkey.  I just wanted to see if I could type jive.

Things that I dislike today:

Toms - Those new shoes that look like the old shoes from the Bargain Shop or Giant Tiger.  
Outdoor Slippers - Look comfortable for sitting around a fire in the comfort of your own home.  Not going to a pub, you donkey.




If somebody that doesn't know you starts following you on twitter or wants to be your friend on Facebook and they are from Massachusetts and states that you are very attractive, and they would like to meet you or get your phone number.  You should always give them every piece of information that they need.  They are probably just a sincere person, and are really interested in the inner you.  They will not give you a computer virus.  They probably just want to chat online or talk on the phone.  I endorse this completely.
