Plans.

I did make it to town last night.  I called my friend to see if he wanted to go out too.  Nothing fancy, just a trip for groceries.  My favorite store isn't open on Sundays, which I agree with mind you, so I probably wouldn't have gone in if I had remembered.  Still, I was able to get some of what I wanted.  No milk.  The stores I visited don't carry types of milk I will buy.  But cream was available in one of the brands I don't mind.  And, three packages of those bacon ends/bits that are irregulars.  Even before I realized they were less expensive, when I found those, I fell in love.  Not even sure if they are still less, per pound, than regular bacon.  It just IS!  Some pieces are large, some small, you don't have to worry about keeping them straight, and, and, and... meat candy!  Cruel to take to an event with so many vegetarians.  Thankfully, I can keep a secret, and will have plenty.  Saved my last woman from vegetarianism.  I like to carry on the tradition.  "Your a pig!"  No, but I've got some.  *oink*

I wasn't sure I would make it out of bed as early as hoped.  Given the trend, even when I went to bed, I thought 10:00 might be pushing is.  So I set the alarm for 9:00.  When I heard the alarm, at 9:30, I just reset it for 10:00.  A couple of snoozes after that, and I am up.  The goal is to hike, then get my friend to go shooting.  Nothing fancy, but it will be a bit of a day.  Especially since I want to check on steak, and maybe some other things.  I might simply not have the energy for all of it, so will stick to the state plan.  The next day I go for a hike will just be for that, so I can add shopping for the trip to the list.  There is always more, you know?  Even when you are on the trip, there is always something you could have, or even should have, purchased or brought.  Still, it works out if you give it your best, with a little forethought.  At the end of some travels, I realize the wants wouldn't have ever been used anyway.  So I don't worry so much anymore.

For some reason, I am still a bit stiff and sore this morning.  All good.  No reason to change my plans, actually more reason to continue with them.  Shake some of the rust off my joints, muscle, and all.  Plus, I am really enjoying getting out.  When I return from the trip, I need to continue the process of hiking, then hiking and a night out, then maybe hiking through a weekend or more, taking all I need on my back.  It won't be fancy.  I won't have three squares.  I might or might not even have a tent.  We'll see.  Depends on if a fire is allowed or not, though, too.  Oh, right, I best remember sun lotion.  Either that or a hat.  I should keep both in my kit though.  Later.
