The Coffee House

[davidharmier60]

Last time I slept anywhere but my own bed... A couple years ago in the back of my truck with a sleeping bag and under a cover.

As for today. 6 hours and a bit. As I unplugged the charger from the floor machine a cable came off from corrosion.
Had to hacksaw a bolt off because I couldn't break it. Will see in the morning what the charger says and how the machine runs.

Just had chicken and dumplings at the deli as I await time to get my check.

Most memorable camping trip ever. We were on a two day canoe trip down a whitewater river in the Ozarks. As night approached we found a suitable gravel bar and rolled out the sleeping bags. Overnight a strong storm moved through with lots of rain and lightning. All we could do was ride it out, huddled under our canoes, as the water steadily rose. Fortunately it was over quickly, but everything was to soaked to sleep, and we couldn't leave till daylight.

I have camped only once in my life. It was on a beach in southern Turkey. My friend...misrepresented...the sleeping facilities (there were none) so we draped a tarp over a tree branch and I slept under that for a week. I was young and stupid, and though it was more comfortable than you'd think, I am not sure the old meatsack could handle that again. Still, the view from my "tent" was worth it:

Beautiful! I'm sure the occasional "I'm on a beach in southern Turkey!" moments outweighed the general discomfort. And yeah, we all miss the being young & stupid part, which allows us to venture into lots of weird/different scenarios that may not happen when we get older and annoyingly pragmatic.

I camped as a kid with my folks a few times. One particularly pleasant time was in Yosemite in the 1950s. We had a big tent pitched near a stream. I remember watching The Fire Falls at night. Later a bear invaded a nearby tent and stole their peanut butter.

Left this morning at 4:30, 15 hrs later stick a fork in me I'm done. Today was my DW's 2nd annual post transplant full workup at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. Because of the distance they schedule all her tests on the same day. The waiting isn't bad because the whole hospital complex is very nice. The trip home was horrendous as we were done just at rush hour. Atlanta in rush hour can be dicey, finally hit some open road and then torrential rain. As we got into town this was our main road thru town, covered in over a foot of water in places.

Well, another GIS conference is over. My lightening talk went OK, I guess - nobody threw fruit or vegetables at me.

@smoke665 I hope all is well! That’s a car--you ending to a long day.

Gary has showered and is a bit refreshed after being wilted for most of the day. He worked outside today in upper 90F heat and was drenched in sweat. This is the third or fourth heatwave of summer. Enough is enough ... July’s electrical bill was the highest of all time. Time to go solar at this rate. The sunlight today was very odd. The light was reddish-yellow as it had to traveled through smoke clouds in order to reach where Gary was standing. Gary looked up and 3/4 of the sky was smoke. Not a good sign.

I got pulled over again, let go again, no ticket again. One marker light out, checked my load of rims in back, all secure. Almost exact same location, with in a couple of blocks from the last pull over, and this time I wasn't talking to Gary on the phone. Funny thing is, I was thinking of calling him when the lights lit up in my mirrors. lol
