Hey All,

It's the last weekend in August. What's everybody up to???

Friday: I get out of work at Noon..then I'm hitting up the local watering hole for Fransikanner Fridays...$2.50 Franzi drafts..a darn good wheat beer with a slice of Orange. I'll also probably have some wings. Then some grocery shopping and I'll probably make some steak or salmon tonight..Then maybe some exercise..a little lifting and maybe a long walk..

Saturday: Early AM golf with my Dad, we're teeing off at 7:36AM so we should finish by lunchtime..Then a free lunch and free beers..then who knows..maybe just surf the internet and at night maybe go out and try to hook up with some trick hoes..

Sunday: Hiking late AM/early PM on the Appalachian trail by Blue mountain..then watch golf on TV and probably go to my parents house for dinner...Anyway I'm psyched that it's almost the weekend...

Holla

Going to Stowe with the female until Monday. Hopefully the T-storms will hold off long enough to mount a gnar attack on the treacherous summit of Mansfield.

My wife wants to take the bikes up to Waterville Valley and ride around...anyone know if they have a good network of family-friendly trails up there?

I'm looking for a hike in the Jersey area for tomorrow, how is that hike that you speak of? Can we get some details?

In Andy speak this means "Can I go on a hike out in the backwoods with you... just me and you? Have you ever seen a grown man naked?"









No, no wait. Andy donated to my PMC ride again so I'm not making fun of him.

But I'll leave that post in case anyone was wondering exactly how I'd make fun of him, if I were to make fun of him. But I'm not really. Andy's good people. He volunteered to dress up like a highschool cheerleader and stand at the finish line in Provincetown next year. So that's something to look forward to.

Next weekend though? Looking at a mountain biking trip at Mammoth, depends on whether or not my friend can make it. And we are gonna look for the camera he lost when it "slid into the rocks" during this last ski season

Mount Mansfield is a great hike..My favorite route is the Long trail from 108..then along the ridgeline past the Antennas and Radio towers..then right down the Nosedive trail..Hopefully you have views of Mount Washington..

I typically start my hike at the Little Gap parking area..1/2 mile south of the upper entrance to Blue mountain ski area...and hike west on the Appalachian trail..The first 1/2 mile is straight uphill and climbs about 400-500 vert..then it flattens out and after about 2 miles..everything is barren..no trees or anything with great views of the Poconos and the Lehigh Valley..After 5 miles the trail descends about 1,000 vert to the Lehigh River..it's my favorite local hike( I live 17 miles away) and I often see wild Turkeys, deer, snakes, and I've seen 3 bears before..I usually hike for about 3 hours

Dud, next time I see you I'm going to kick your scrawny lil behind from RI to Ptown. :lol: Scary part is, you'd probably enjoy it! :argue:

Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.

I hate Bed Bath & Beyond, they suck!

There's the exact quote. I couldn't find it on IMDB. You can't truly appreciate that line until you lived it.

Heading up to Bartlett, NH for the week. Do some MTB-ing, hiking, etc... Thinking of getting Pierce and Ike, maybe the Osceolas. Depends on how the youngster holds-up. She's pretty tough.
