Finally. Yes, finally. After the last few months of sitting here whining about not getting out for some fun time, I’m finally getting around to making a summer out of this nasty summer.
The weather is a bit nicer now. Not quite as hot and humid. I was making plans to go out tomorrow for a romp in the mud, but I think they expect thunderstorms now, so I’m going to wait a bit.
This past trip I made on a Sunday, which was interesting. Everything seemed quieter than usual, and although I wasted a little time going off-track, I managed to get where I needed to be. Today’s important observation: Stick with the path I usually take.
ViewRanger is doing OK as far as tracking my movements. I find it’s tracks are easier to follow. My big beef is that I can’t simply mark the current spot as a waypoint… I have to drag the marker around the map to get it just right. But, that’s not really anything worth whining about, so on we go.
I received my nice new fun suit in the mail yesterday. I couldn’t wait to try it on, so I did. It’s nice and snug all around, which is a nice improvement. I managed, somehow, to get all my measurements pretty much right on, and so I am very happy with my purchase. Hopefully by next year I’ll have some money put aside to get one made in camo. I think it will come in handy in the fall when the leaves fall and I am a little less well hidden. But in the meantime, I am looking sooo forward to getting this one dirty!
Next time I order, I’ll have to remember to ask if they have a heavier duty zipper, tho. The zipper in my last suit didn’t survive much past the first few outings, and this one is pretty much the same, so I expect I’ll lose it too soon enough…
