Rutledge? I camped at Hard Labor Creek State Park for a four-day weekend. This campout was the umpteenth gathering of hashers who once met up at Providence Canyon State Park, the FDR State Park, and now Hard Labor Creek State Park. Since quitting hashing this is the only occasion during which I see most of them, and sadly some of those I’d like to see no longer attend.
Yesterday marked the third anniversary of my mother’s death. I had to chuckle a little because this campout used to be one for which I had to warn my mother that the cell signal was poor and that she shouldn’t worry if she couldn’t contact me. Signal at the campsite is better, but still poor.
It was a horrendous sports weekend for me, all four games in which I had rooting interest ended in losses for me.
Wordle: four, my starter was BRUTE
looks like next weekend is going to be cold – good thing you camped this past weekend.
I bet many of those hashers don’t hash anymore either
You know them all, obviously, and most of them hardly hash regularly. Many of them, like me, haven’t run much in a long time.
Looks like it may be very cold, so today I will be harvesting anything that isn’t frost tolerant from WLF.
I will be away when the cold arrives, and very unhappy to have to wear long pants… because I am too fat.
We will be in NY this weekend so I went and looked up the weather. The temp up there is going to be exactly the same as it will be here. That’s funny.
The forecast is forcing me to also breakdown my sprinkler system to that I don’t destroy another timer by letting water freeze within it, and drain my hoses and sprinkler heads.
Wordle in 4 today and a deuce yesterday. From playing AISLE as my starter, I pulled out FIRST, which I thought was pretty good.
Not a lot to report. I had to replace a footing when I went to take off the cardboard form and it shifted. I had gotten too clever and put too much gravel in the too deep hole. Glad I’m not building a house, as I took the new laser levels out last night and I’m out of square. All of which can be fixed, but still…
20 miles in Pine Mountain on Man ‘O War path. “Lots” of folks- well at least as many as I’ve ever seen, which was about 20.

not a crazy weekend
Friday night – Sally & I caught up on Survivor
Saturday – Allan slept until almost 1pm, had a late lunch, ran some errands & that was it.
Sunday, walked to Waffle House, then in the afternoon went to a friend’s house for a nice afternoon gathering with cocktails & food – stayed later than we planned, but it was good conversations.
Another quiet football weekend. Saturday we slept late and then had a late lunch with some Grant Park friends. Home to watch football until like midnight and then bed. Sunday we slept late and did not watch the Falcons game in Madrid. The Giants played at 1:00 (and won!) and the Pats played at 4:30 (and lost!) so that worked out perfectly. I made pigs-in-blankets and chicken meatballs with a butter-caper sauce similar to piccata and served it over pasta.
I need to check out that campground, they have mountain bike trails too right?
Productive 3 day weekend for me, Friday got ALL my chores done which allowed time to play all day Saturday and Sunday. Saturday rode the moto up to the mountains, basically did 3 gap backwards. I have ridden past 2 wheels of suches a million times and never stopped there for lunch. So on Saturday stopped and had a pretty good burger. Sunday Laura and I went up to ride/run bull and jake mountain. Not my favorite time of year to ride with all the leaves down, hard to see rocks/roots buried. Travis was home from school so we watched the Bears game last night. It was a crazy game! I tried to go to bed at half time but stayed up to watch the rest because it was so close. Good times!
Picking up the new camper on Saturday so I’m sure next weekend will be just me tinkering around with the new toy 🙂
They do have mountain bike trails, though I’ve never ridden them. You know from riding STU that there aren’t anything’s like mountains in the region, so I believe it’s really wooded area through which you ride. I know Mango has ridden them in the past, and Miles rode 18 miles (no pun intended) through them this weekend.
Bob – we need to get a camping trip on the books – if you figure out a weekend – let us know – we might be able to crash your party
Hell yeah! I’ll have to figure out a weekend.
Trying to decide what clothes to wear for choring. My “farming shorts” are gross because I wore them all the time while camping. They are so gross that I won’t touch them again until they are laundered tomorrow morning.
Weird, my Apple Watch battery is at 18%. I wonder if I didn’t set it on the charging puck properly last night? I wish I had taken note of the battery percentage when I strapped it on this morning, though if it wasn’t near 100% I think my spidey senses would have been activated.
Oh well.
I was talking to a friend this weekend about how my biggest issue in switching over to an Apple Watch from Fitbit is the battery life and how I need to wear it while sleeping. He says he wears his every night and charges it at his desk during the work day. That will probably work for me, although it’s still a lot more annoying than my current once a week charge for the Fitbit. But I feel better about the switch whenever my device dies.
The only time I’ve had battery issues, mind you I don’t sleep with it nor do I care that I have to charge it daily, is when I don’t get it to sit on the magnetic puck and it doesn’t charge overnight. This has happened twice.
In from a little Wee Little Farm harvesting.
The plants are confused, many summer crops are still putting on flowers as if it there were time to fruit… the plants will be dead by Monday/Tuesday.
I’ve harvested — at least twelve huge (by my standards) winter squash with another half-dozen still on the two plants, five nice sweet potatoes, and three long purple eggplants.
From the empty divots in the garden bed it appears that some critter scored at least two sweet potatoes before I did.
Oh yeah, also picked some peppers.
