      "Camping with the wife."

      Good idea in theory/principal… Terrible idea, financially.

      My idea of camping: us, tent, blanket, and a can of beans over a fire... and beer

      Her idea of camping ("glamping"):

      Not to mention that it's turned in to a fashion show featuring a 170GBP pair of Lowa's  that "aren't really comfortable, but they're cute!"  ???

            It will be far closer to my image than hers now, because "Once my rucksack is full/too heavy, you'll have to carry more"…..

            Example:
            She wanted a 9lb 2 burner camp stove, but I told her it's too big, clunky and heavy.
            We've settled on a Jetboil HalfGen.

            Based on her extensive  ::) ::) ::) Girl Scout experience from 20+ years ago, she thought she would be cooking brekky, lunch and dinner each day… I said "If the cooler is full of perishable foods, where will the beer go?"..... She was immediately understanding on that point, lol

                Funny this subject came up now- my wife spent a night in one of these tents last week.

                Apparently, all the yurts and teepees were already booked…

                    She got to Marfa about 9 am. Around 11 am, she texted me and said, "I think I've reached my hipster limit already."  She said it was worse than Portland, because the town is small, so it's more concentrated.

                      I would rather not max out the 6474 cu. in rucksack capacity, or the 200lb frame limit, lmao!

                          Network settings have been changed, and FB is currently on the blocked list at work… This is day 2, and I'm dying.

                          Not that I'm addicted to FB, but I work in a comm closet that's literally an office inside of an office, inside of a conference room, inside of a building... No phones allowed. FB keeps me sane at work, as it's my link to the world outside of these 4 walls.

                                  Camping is also awful is mosquitos love you.  It's the primary reason why I hate camping.  Even a thick layer of bug spray does nothing for me.

                                      Camping is overrated but being able to sleep anywhere is a critical life skill.

                                      I always say if you "can't sleep", you're just not tired enough

                                          Found a good, UK based e-store to get IPAs… Got these:

                                          Verdant - Who's Deborah? DIPA 8.0%
                                          Verdant - Even Sharks Need Water - IPA 7%
                                          Verdant - One More PSI? 8%
                                          Cloudwater - IPA Chinook Citra 6.5%
                                          Mobberley - Batch 1000 TIPA 10.0%
                                          Northern Monk x Other Half x Equilibrium - Patrons Project 13.01: Infinity Vortex DDH IPA 7.4%

                                          Why is this a rant?.. Brexit, man… I finally find a €uro country that makes amazeballs IPAs which I can acquire easily and fresh, and now it wants to fucking piss off on its own...  😞
