@Mark - a personal sherpa; the ultimate in ultralight backpacking?

I need to update mine. I still hope Doug will find a super lady. In the mean time, I asked Santa for a Sony RX100 camera. She said yes and ordered it online today. She says I can't open it until Dec 25th though. Santa rocks!!

The agnostic in me thinks "whatever. not likely there is a REAL santa claus". But in the mythical land of Christmas and candy canes, I would ask Santa for a Hilleberg Soulo. Yah, that would be *real* nice.

I'm worried about Santa on 11/27/2012 07:24:32 MST Print View

I've been pining for a Cap 4 hoody, so I ordered one from Backcountry.com on Friday. In Salt Lake, they gave it to Santa for delivery. Then the route to Boulder, CO went through Louisville, KY and Billings, MT on its way to Colorado. It should arrive today. But I'm thinking Santa was sipping egg nog or something, and got his route all screwed up.

lol..congrats on the Cap 4. I saw them in person at Neptune this weekend and wow are they nice and fashionable (esp. compared to my $37 military issue).

"...wow are they nice and fashionable." Yeah, that's me, Rascal--nice and quite fashionable. I'll do anything to earn the respect of my back yard bunnies and squirrels.

I'm wishing for more free time away from house projects and work.

Winter's here, I want to get out there!

Amazingly, there's nothing related to backpacking on this year's wish list. I don't even have a wish list this year! Supposedly the family is giving me a new computer--mine still works but has definitely exceeded its useful life.

My main wish is for no more injuries/illness for either me or my aging dog next spring and summer so I can actually spend the time backpacking for a change!

Here's hoping Santa is listening. And that you've been good. ;)

The priceless gift of good health should be at the top of everyone's list, but you usually have to have a few hundred thousand miles on life's odometer before you start to figure that out.
