Yeah, what I could.

The pack is a bitch.  No, I didn't hike.  I did put it on to carry it out though.  The waist buckle is broken.  I was going to go anyway, but when I got to the trail, the lot was pretty much full.  Twelve, maybe fifteen vehicles.  The path just isn't really geared for that many people.  No fuss.  I thought of it as being conscientious.  Allowing the people there what little space they had.  I can go "any time".  Still, that I got that close... surprised me.  The next time I am in town I will look for a replacement for the nylon belt clip.  Might have to get both sides, never can tell if one set will work with another brand.  Then again, they probably sell as a pair.

With that out of play, I headed to pick up my delivery.  They didn't have it in their machine for some reason.  The woman, after checking this and that, decided to look manually.  Not a great hump, but.  Anyway, she found it and tussled it out.  I have the ac/dc refrigerator/freezer that I discussed the other day.  It's in the back of the Xt'er for now.  The next time I have some energy, I'll get it washed out and ready, then set it up.  I want to run it for a few days in the vehicle, but I want to have the battery charger charged and ready, and in there as well.  Even if it starts, in town the battery might just give out.  If it does well that way, then I'll bring it in and plug it in on ac.  Once I find a place to put it.  The basement sounds nice, but... that's a lot of steps, both to take the thing down, and to go for a shot of cream or glass of milk.  I'll figure it out.

Then on to pick up a razor, one of those atomic wall clocks, and some other stuff from Walmart.  Hey, it works.  It was sure warming up.  I didn't see the readings while in town, but thought I saw something somewhere suggesting that it was 81.  To me, that's a big jump in temp.  Maybe I didn't notice, from not being out.  Maybe it has been warming up and I just didn't know.  I let Sam out and back in all hours of the day though.  Still, not always aware?  Warm.  Hot actually.  All good, I have to learn to live in this too.  It'll burn more fat anyway, tighten muscles through the strain.  Just as good as cold, if not my preference.  Feelings, you know... gotta set those aside or you won't get anywhere.

Finally, grocery shopping.  Man, I really miss fruits when I don't have them now.  They really help with the rest of my diet.  They just fill a hunger niche.  Two weeks and I am addicted.  Fruit is great for a desert, or as a snack, filling in a hunger or something missing.  Cherries, oranges, bananas, and pears this week.  Plus milk, cream, and some other odds and ends.  And, yes, I remembered the meat.  Bottom sirloin, I think, for the more regulation jerky.  I had to buy ten pounds or he wouldn't have been able to cut it as I requested for that price.  I think that was my first negotiation!  Seriously, I don't think I have ever figured a deal before.  I'd love to buy more, not sure though.  I'll see how well ten pounds holds up.  I am only probably going to get about two to three pounds of jerky.  But that goes a long way.  Some for snack, but lightly.  It's very salty.  Most of it will be for soup/stew.  And pretty much only on the trail.  I bought as much hamburger, negotiated the leanness/price as well.  Some of that will be for another form of jerky, some of it will be for simple dehydrated hamburger, for things like spaghetti and sauce, or chili. 

I'm pretty beat, but no migraine... not yet.  I may just turn on the ac and fan in the bedroom, take a quick shower and air dry just a bit, then hit it.  If I can sneak under the bar, especially as well as I stretched today, I will.  Hmm.... a glass of milk sounds really good.  I've been out of that for a bit.  Oh, and it has to be cold.  Ah, and medicine.

Dang it!  My water pill isn't in.  I order that a while ago.  They keep doing this to me.  Too late to call today.  That is the last time I will use their automated order system.  Two fails for two tries just isn't getting it.  And then I'll have to call in and check a few days after.  They are really messing up.  Then again, after that one post, I believe it has become intentional.  They don't seem to mind criticism, but mention their doctors and they get nasty.  Good night, most likely.
