Journey, Not A Destination

I'll meet you at the base of the mountain. Ready to poop in the woods and drink out of the stream?

What? I don't get to join in on the 8hrs of small talk? :D

As long as no one's peeing or crapping in the stream, I think I'm ok. You forget I'm from Michigan--most of us are big outdoorsmen/women. So, I'm sure the 4 of you won't have any trouble hauling my RV up the mountain. :rofl:
 
Dirtayyyyy

Just the way I like it.

We are leaving on wednesday night more than likely...

be ready

I'm sure you'll be dirty after rolling around in the mountains with 3 other guys.

I'll get the RV fueled up. I'm sure it'll only cost about $1million to fill the tank. :rolleyes:

I'm actually driving to northern Indiana Weds morning to meet up with Bellaryna. So I'll be on my way to Philly after stuffing my gut with yummy Amish food. :sifone: I'm sure you and the other guys can give me a good workout to burn off all those calories. :rofl:

That's great to hear. What changed to brighten things up? Was the change internal, external, combo?

I was holding a lot of shame about Granna's death in. On the year anniversary of her death I took some flowers down to the beach and talked to her and said good-bye. I was holding on, not wanting to let go. After that, everything seemed to get more positive for me...
Also Dave and I broke up- for good this time- about two months ago. I don't even miss him. It's more of a relief than anything, I'm sure u can see why.

:) It feels good to be back!
 
Steve your toughness got to me and i have been getting outside a lot more in the past couple of days :) so thanks.

Also- Remember telling me about a tree? I saw one just you described like and it made me smile and I felt like everything was going to be ok.

That's awesome Brit. Anytime you need/want to talk... you know where to find me.

I'm glad to hear things are looking up for you. You deserve it.

So yea, getting ready for this trek up Mt. Washington is been keeping me busy. It's a tough trip to pack for. You will experience nice temps as well as butt cold temps. We'll be camping Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and we should be done on Sunday. So it's tough to pack enough to be prepared without too much that it makes you pack unbearably heavy.

I'll definitely be eating next to nothing these days. I have some dehydrated food. I'm not sure about protein bars and stuff yet, I don't want to be attracting any bears!
 
Steve's Posting by Proxy
Hey, look at that! My office computer is letting me see the forum today. I knew today was going to be a good day. :)

So I sort of gave my weekend update yesterday. My weekend consisted entirely of preparing for my hike, which we leave for on Wednesday night. Everything worked out too, with the driving arrangements. Another guy is going now so that changes everything with the 'seating arrangements.' I'm so stoked, I can't wait to get up there and just let loose.

So I have a beard right now. We made it clear that nobody is to hike without a beard, lol. It's the first time I ever grew one. My father has had a full blown beard since I was born and though he rocks it well, it's something I never wanted for myself.... I think that's why I've never grown it out before.

I was surprised to find out that it comes in very red. My hair is brown with an auburn tint. I mean my passport says brown and it's full brown in most lights. But when I'm in the full blown sun light you can definitely see some auburn/reddish highlights. Nonetheless, I always rock a 5 o'clock shadow and that's always dark. The longer it gets though, the lighter it is. I'm not sure I'll actually keep it the entire trip. I might shave electrically right before the hike. I don't need to be itchy.

The website... uhhhgggg.

I decided to switch hosts. Long story short: I have no freaking clue what I'm doing. I went out this weekend and bought a web development book for dummies. Figured it's something I'm interested in so why not try and learn the basics of coding. We'll see how it goes. Right now I'm in the process of transferring my data from homestead to hostgator. It's proven to be quite a pain in the ass so far. Lot's of bullshittery going on from the hostgator end of things although they do try and explain things (dumb things down) as best they can for me. I think they're having problems b/c homestead sucks ass.

Anyhow, that's what's happening.

Well, a beard will help keep your face warm on those cold nights. But I thought you already had a beard--Krista (to keep people from finding out about you and Gord). :smilielol5:

Sorry you're having website issues. :(

And the flyers couldn't pull it off. :nopity: The red wings better finish off Dallas tonight. :cuss:

OOOH Pictures with a beard please :)
though covering up that baby face of yours is just wrong :)

Well in truth, it's not really a beard. I think I'd have to let it grow for months to have a real beard. But relative to the norm for me, it's a beard, lol.

Oh it's out of the closet.

It is what it is.

Issues ain't the word.

As of now, it looks like my days of posting a lot during work are gone. I just can't figure out what's going on.

Yea, they went out ugly.... sheesh. And Dallas, they're looking tough. I hope Detroit pulls it off.

I'm always in conflict with my inner self. Part of me wants to train purely for muscle development and leanness. However, I rarely, rarely do that. I always enjoy food too much and love being an athlete.

So I blend the two and I'm happy with the end-product, truthfully. I sometimes wonder what I could achieve if I applied myself 100% to physique training.

But life is all about choices and as long as I'm happy... I'm aloud to second guess.

Oh I'm certainly human. I've failed more than I've succeeded. I just learned from my mistakes, modified my approach over and over again, and most importantly, remained consistent. I know what I want. I know what I don't want. And I make sure that the majority of the time I'm doing things that drive me towards my goals.

Self-analysis has been my saving grace. And that's certainly not a once-and-done sort of thing.
