      i am anticipating it being like this for the remainder of the term of the current President.  hope things don't go that way but i'm fully prepared for it as opposed to last year at this time.

      nowback on track, i've been trying to figure out layers to wear for late October. i'm thinking some of that moisture wicking quick drying stuff so when i get dunked i won't freeze my a$$ off for the next few hours.

      i really think this is going to suck, but it will at least give me a better idea of what to expect for March . . .

            My Goruck challenge is looming. October 26th, and I haven't done anything physical in over 4 weeks. I'm screwed.

              Same day as mine. If I didn't think the drive home would be so bad. I'd switch to yours. Not sure if Monday will be joining me or not.

                it's a lite we'll be fine. only way i won't be doing it is if  (knock on wood) some unforseen circumstance comes up.

                I'm eating a donut talking about doing a GORUCk challenge

                nods head & laughs nervously

                good luck seawolf, you doing the full blown or a lite/light? i think someone else might be doing one around that time . . . .

                looking forward to this as i'm stressed the hell out & this sounds like a cheap vacation, hahahhahaha

                i'm screwed

                    Just read this:
                    __PARTICIPANTS: READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING. THIS DOCUMENT HAS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES AND WILL AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND WILL LIMIT OR ELIMINATE YOUR ABILITY TO BRING FUTURE LEGAL ACTIONS.

                    I understand and acknowledge that by signing below, I am legally agreeing to all of the following statements in exchange for being permitted to participate in a GORUCK Event (“GORUCK Event”), which includes all or part of the following: (a) participation in a GORUCK Event (“GORUCK Event”) while wearing a rucksack full of bricks, and (b) GORUCK Event personnel and/or GORUCK Event participant-led social activities pre- and post- the GORUCK Event.

                    1.        I understand that participating in a GORUCK Event wearing a rucksack full of bricks is an extremely hazardous activity. I acknowledge that a GORUCK Event is an extreme and unreasonable test of my physical and mental limits that carries with it inherent risks of physical injury that cannot be eliminated completely, including but not limited to an above-average risk of death and/or serious injury. Performing exercises during a GORUCK Event wearing a GORUCK rucksack filled with bricks or carrying anything of weight whatsoever, including but not limited to logs and/or other GORUCK Event participants, is especially hazardous and brings with it unique dangers that may not be known prior to their occurrence.

                    2.        I expressly, knowingly and voluntarily assume all of the risks of participating in a GORUCK Event. I understand and acknowledge that these risks include, but are not limited to: falls; illness; infection; contact or collision with spectators, personnel, and other pedestrians; contact or collision with motor vehicles or machinery; contact or collision with other participants of varying skill levels; contact and the effects of contact with natural and man-made fixed objects; natural and man-made water, road and surface hazards; close proximity and/or contact with thick smoke and/or open flames; inadequate competition equipment and/or equipment failure; dangers arising from weather conditions, including but not limited to extreme heat, cold, humidity, ice, rain, or fog; imperfect course conditions; and inadequate safety measures.

                    I understand and acknowledge that these risks may cause harms including, but not limited to: bodily injury, ranging from minor to severe; illness or infection, ranging from minor to severe; physical and/or mental effects of exposure to extreme conditions and circumstances, ranging from minor to severe; temporary or permanent disability; paralysis; death; and property damage or loss.__

                    & signed up anyway, hahahahahahahaha.

                        That waiver is unenforceable.  Besides, even if it were, if you die, Tuesday and the kids still can sue, since you didn't (and can't) waive their right to do so.

                          yeah, but i can see them getting deposed with all the discovery showing how much of an idiot i am & all the dumbsh!t i do.  when they roll the tape the court reporter would probably fall out his/her chair laughing.

                          they would be lucky to get two quarters to rub together, hahahahahahahahaha

                          this is going to be soooo bad, but my gig & real life has me stressed, so this is a good stress reliever

                                Just tried to get a furlough discount on my lite & it didn't work.  Figured it was worth a try  :-[.

                                Still haven't gotten an email with my packing list & where to show-up. Also where you fellows get your bricks from on the cheap? I think I may need one or two in a few days.

                                  They have not reached out to me either nor have they returned my phone calls. Not very happy. Last time they reached out to me a month in advance with packing list, Facebook page etc…

                                        home depot. Also available at HD, gorilla tape is much more reasonable than the exorbitantly priced red white and blue tape GORUCK offers, and no way anything could be any stronger than that shit.

                                          Gorilla Tape is awesome. I use it sometimes to fix my dogs toys, and not even a Rottweiler's bite can destroy it

                                          One warning though, if you use it for home repair, it can destroy whatever you attach it to if you try to remove it.

                                          I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose
