Surly official camping and backpacking thread
Would love to do this hike or CDT or the AT but at this time in my life work commitments prohibit such a trek. Hopefully once work responsibilities wane I will still be in a healthy enough shape to tackle one of these. I know, excuses and all, but it is a reality for me. Keep us posted and good luck!

Getting old sucks
I had my first colonoscopy done back in October at the age of 56. All clear. No need to return for 10 years. Check. I had to have a molar (root canal done several years ago) pulled last week because it became infected. The worst pain ever. Check. Going in tomorrow morning for an ablation to take care of my SVT. Check. Next week I am going to have another tooth pulled and then have two implants put in. Check. I regularly play full-court basketball about 3 times per week during lunch if I am in town and not out traveling. Many times I am playing against "kids" (late 20s to early 30s) that my two kids went to school with. I will tell my kids that I met so and so today. Their response is "be careful dad, you are not as young as you used to be". Check. When I stand up after sitting for a while I sound like of bowl of Rice Crispies cereal as my knees and ankles pop. Check.

SIAP. People who cannot control the speed at which they drive. They will randomly change speeds plus or minus 10 miles per hour making it difficult to pass them particularly on a two lane road. However, once you manage to get around them they magically can control their speed by staying right behind you.- Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."

I wake up in the morning and the first thing that I do is to take a pee. I go until I am tapped out. I then brush my teeth, shave and wash my face. It is about the time that I am finishing that up that I have to take another lengthy pee all over again.- Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."

Now I am confused. When I read your original post I thought “he” was your new SIL that was going to be your best man for some odd reason. I didn’t even think about the “he” being the former “she”. My mind didn’t even go there. Getting Old Sucks. Oops. Wrong thread.- Bijan Robinson is special
Why is he stuck sitting between two "olds"?- TRAVEL: Points, Miles, Discounts, Tips, Advice & Questions
Almost all of my flying is for business on my company's credit card. I have been Diamond on Delta for the last several years. Getting the mileage requirement is never a problem. Now Delta has raised the matching spend amount to $20K per year. Since I have built up status on Delta I would prefer to stay with them. I have flown 1.1 million miles with Delta. I have flown about 600K with AA through the years but do not fly with them regularly any longer. I use SHV as my "home" airport. So, I am looking at getting a Delta branded credit card to ensure that I meet the spend threshold with personal spending. I am not too worried about lounge access. What card to go with? Any advice is appreciated.- Shart 2023: The Quickening

Just got back from an Alabama concert. They played their entire catalog. They played for 2 solid hours. I thoroughly enjoyed singing along.- Getting old sucks
I am an olds too where I work. Been here since May 5, 1989. Survived a few acquisitions. I will let y’all guess on who they go to when it comes down to things passing the smell test or some cockeyed idea or whatever. Experience matters.- Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
My ex was big into decorating for all of the holidays and seasons. I didn’t mind it until she would get hung up on minute details. I told her that half of the people would not care about the decorations because they are dudes. Which left half being women. Of the women maybe half of them would care. So in the end, at best, she was trying to please maybe 25% of the people.- Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."
Google Frank Slide in Alberta, Canada. A large portion of a mountain gave way creating a massive landslide in 1903. The mountain was unstable to begin with and underground coal mining aided in creating the large slide.- Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."
There is a reason I am in the surface (daylight) mining industry. The safety protocols of going underground cover everything and then some. Once the lights go out it is straight up dark. It is easy to get disoriented. However there are massive operations underground that have large open spaces. I like having a bit more control over the situation that surface mining provides.- Colonoscopy
I had that option too for the last couple of years. I would get a box and it would get lost in the shuffle and I would never remember to use it. I ended up giving a box away this past Christmas as a white elephant gift.- Getting old sucks
I have SVT. Have always been able to mostly control it with meds. The doctor said that the older I get the ability to control it with meds decreases. I am going to have an ablation done in mid-March. I know that it is a “regular routine” procedure but I am still not looking forward to it.- Colonoscopy
I kept putting mine off forever. I did it this past October at the age of 56. I am clear and do not have to do it again for 10 years. This site encouraged me a lot to get it done. You got this.
