Don't  forget the runway black lingerie & Go Go girls at every road  crossing
to get everybody in the right mood for the next days ordeal like  we planed
for the kick-off before the big boys nixed the  idea.

Unfortunately, I am past the age of  enlightenment.  I only have enough 
energy to drive to the trailhead to look  around and then drive back to the 
trailtown for a good meal and the hot  tube.  Just thinking about extra curricula 
activities makes me tired and  needing a nap for recovery.
 
Speaking of hiking.  I just finished my new super light shelter  system.  I 
made a see-through rainfly for my REI Bug Hut shelter out of  polycro material 
from GossamerGear.com.  The rainfly weighs under 7  ounces with two titanium 
stakes and two metal clips.  The Bug Hut weighs 18  ounces with two titanium 
stakes.  Not bad for a freestanding shelter with  360 degree views in the rain 
at 25 ounces.
 
My spinnaker ground  cloth weighs around 2 ounces with 4 titanium stakes.  
This holds down  my two super light foam pads for sleeping.  Not bad at all.  
Nice and  comfortable.  A good night's rest with star gazing.
 
Of course, I am not sure about the condensation and asphyxiation  issues.  
Heh, heh, heh.
