It was toque and gloves weather this morning. Lame. -- nm - Shaun Oct 17, 08:14 6

Spawn...no my B+ was solid. I'm not generous in my concert reviews...yeah without Lindsay, Max is missing some spark...but Neil Finn - Remlik Oct 17, 07:51 5
- My fave FM songs are Go Your Own Way, The Chain and Tusk. Best concert song is I’m So Afraid. - Spawn Oct 17, 07:59 4

- I didn't make eye contact or stop to engage, so no interesting story to tell. -- nm - Roger More Oct 17, 07:58
Soooooooooo, you know how i said the cabins we are staying in aren't heated? Well, they overbooked by one person, and we have one extra leader than - Andie Oct 17, 07:49 34
- Tell them you will do both nights in the tent because you are hardcore. -- nm - crash davis Oct 17, 08:25
- Brought to you by the organizers of the Fyre Festival. -- nm - Chez Baronnaise Oct 17, 08:01

- oof. how cold is it going to be? -- nm - colin Oct 17, 07:50 29
  - it could snow on Sunday. -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 07:50 28
    - you are only really in there to sleep? - groiny Oct 17, 07:52 27
      - it't the cold ground that is the problem when you camp in the winter. not the air above you. -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 07:52 26
        
        Well, the cold ground and grizzly bears that want to hibernate in your sleeping bag. -- nm - Ender Oct 17, 09:05
        
        Ground stays pretty similar year-round. Old arctic survival trick: on cold nights bury your water under snow close to the ground. - mafic Oct 17, 08:09 13
        
        Yeah, it won't be -40. THANK GOD! We'll live. It just went from 'comfy heated cabins' to 'you get a tent' in 24 hours. -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 08:13 12
        
        It’s an adventure! You could totally trick one of the kids into the tent. -- nm - mafic Oct 17, 08:15 2
        
        i probably could. If there weren't rules, i might have asked if two wanted to sleep there with me, but i can't... -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 08:18 1
        
        Maybe a bear will saunter by and keep you warm -- nm - decline Oct 17, 08:27
        
        is there electricity? can you bring space heaters for the cabins? -- nm - Beaker Oct 17, 08:15 8
        
        No. None in the cabins. Flashlights only. -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 08:16 7
        
        why do you hate children? -- nm - Beaker Oct 17, 08:18 1
        
        we are teaching them to survive when society collapses! -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 08:20
        
        what about those hand warmer packs in the sleeping bag? -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 17, 08:17 4
        
        already purchased a CRAP load of those. :) -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 08:18 3
        
        Hot water bottle! -- nm - mafic Oct 17, 08:22 2
        
        oh, i have one of those. i can dig it out. an old apartment i lived had FREEZING bedrooms. those work. thanks! -- nm* - Andie Oct 17, 08:23 1
        
        Random: One of my very first gifts to Amy was one that had the cutest sheep looking cover. - Spawn Oct 17, 08:33
        
        yep. a good sleeping pad makes a huge difference. i've camped in snow, it can be fun. the humidity is what is most uncomfortable.. you wake up cold - colin Oct 17, 07:56
        
        too cold for an air mattress? -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 07:55 8
        
        we don't HAVE air mattresses. just pads. (and just a plain air mattress doesn't insulate, just fyi! You need other stuff.) -- nm* - Andie Oct 17, 07:56 7
        
        *lines the tent floor with maxi pads* -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 07:58
        
        Do you have one of those slightly air-filled pads, or is it a pad like a yoga mat? -- nm - Roger More Oct 17, 07:57 5
        
        i don't have one of those self-inflating pads, but one of the other leaders does - she's bringing two. she just messaged. - Andie Oct 17, 08:00 4
        
        Those help a lot. -- nm - CQ Oct 17, 08:02
        
        OK, that's good. (If you didn't have one, you could have borrowed mine) -- nm - Roger More Oct 17, 08:01 1
        
        ah, thanks! -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 08:02
        
        nice, hope it helps. -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 08:00
        
        just put a fire in the tent with you to keep warm -- nm - decline Oct 17, 07:55
I’m eating lunch at 10:30am. Damn this Publix sub is good. -- nm - CQ Oct 17, 07:44 9
- [deleted]
- PUB SUBS RULE -- nm - JaxSean Oct 17, 07:47
- lol. I just told someone I am hungry. For me, that is quite odd this early. -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 07:46
- The line for them at the Publix by my parents is always impressive. I've heard good things. BBBBUUUTTT..... - ty97 Oct 17, 07:46 2
  - Pub Subs are better. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 17, 07:47 1
    - oh for sure. wawa is pretty good, but not publix good. -- nm - colin Oct 17, 07:49
- did you get the bread that's all grainy? that stuff is awesome. -- nm - colin Oct 17, 07:44 2
  - Oh, yeah. They ha -- nm - CQ Oct 17, 07:45 1
    - Damn enter key. They didn’t have any ready yet. I had to go white, ugh -- nm - CQ Oct 17, 07:46
Gord Downie, 1 year gone -- nm - Beaker Oct 17, 07:40 3
- The suggestion is that this is not a coincidence. -- nm - Reagen Oct 17, 08:00 1
  - Really? Hadn't heard that but wouldn't be the least bit surprised. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Oct 17, 08:26
- There's a new podcast called Fully & Completely that looks at each album one album per episode. The hosts fawn, but I have been enjoying it a lot. - Name Withheld by Request Oct 17, 07:48
and really, "it's my Dad's house, and he does not want anyone blocking the driveway" should be enough. - groiny Oct 17, 07:34
Jax, iirc, the Horror Story auto rifle isn't a drop. You need to buy it from Holliday in the Tower. -- nm* - Shaun Oct 17, 07:33 7
- I got it in an engram or something. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 17, 07:36 6
  - A 600 version? -- nm - J Oct 17, 07:40 5
    - No, 514 -- nm - JaxSean Oct 17, 07:48 3
      - Ah ok. Gotta grind those FotL bounties and the Haunted Forest for those shards or whatever they are called. -- nm - Shaun Oct 17, 07:48 2
        
        And remember, revives are key. - Spawn Oct 17, 08:25 1
        
        Too bad you didn't have a clan that you could play with. Seems like a fun clan activity. -- nm - Shaun Oct 17, 08:29
    - B2 he said he needs it, so no. -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 07:47
Word. -- nm - AB-raham Lincoln, Smaltonian Oct 17, 07:31
