Thanks, Munge for posting that for me. I had to get home before I could check whether it plays well, and it does. Obviously you were able to rotate it.

I shouldn't have sworn, but I forgot that cameras have audio along with their video. My expletive was because I couldn't hold the damn thing still in the wind.

The video does a good job of showing just how strong the wind was up there.  I guess that's why the hills are filled with windmills. :o

Wow, I just noticed that Steve TRIPLED his total numbers of posts in one fell swoop. Let's see you do that Munge   :D :D

Well, I see your point, and I probably shouldn't encourage Munge to "triple" his posts.

But I think it is important to document as much as possible Steve's descent into Mudhood. He's been to Pinns so much more in the last four years. He climbs there in back country places and does obscure routes. I think he even likes the place. And now, he's starting to post here. I think he's gunning for a Master of Mud degree. I've forgotten now; which Shakespeare play used the phrase: "Whence the Mud the dark side will prevaileth?"

Low key weekend around here, due to a steady, light rain. Got a big brush/burn pile done (I would never burn in June, but this isn't really June, it's March). We had Tricia's ninth birthday party (any of you herded cats lately?). Did guidebook work.

And we did some preparation for the upcoming week hiking the PCT (June 11th through 18th). The preparation included packing various bags, including my clothes bag.

All of the above actually has a point, and is relevant to this thread. Because, under the category of "must not forget," I packed the following:

A Joe why didnt you ask? I have one in my chalkbag pocket.


All right, I've tried to figure out what Joe said/meant, and I have no idea. Would you or Squiddo mind explaining what you said (since he apparently got it)?
