I am working tomorrow, too. Chief of program wants to talk to me about leaving. She's a cool Jeeper and I have been off-road with her and others @ Rausch Creek. But, yeah, I have been busier than I expected today.
I guess its good that they don't want you to leave yet. I'd hate to turn in my notice and then they throw a party...

Work? What's that?
I suspect a "Thank God he's gone party" may happen later this week. :CWL: They asked if I wanted a party and I declined. Just want whatever they give for over 10 years on this program.

So I finally got around to measuring
the distance I'll be hanging my hammock and it's about 13m (~42' & change). The hammock itself is 2.5m from loop to loop (~8.5').

Gonna try some different knots to see if I can make the nylon work. I had it for a bit yesterday, but the simple knots I was using kept slipping.
Use a Clove Hitch knot.

Happy Tuesday all, hope you all had a good 3-dayer and had a chance to reflect on yesterday's holiday.

Inspirational thought for the day:

I'm going to add Boone, NC to that list as well.
Ha, I think (and not to make this too political) you see them where (snow country) any outstanding 4 wheel/AWD drive vehicle would be the vehicle of choice (i.e. Jeep, truck, SUV), however most "environmentalists, etc" can not bring themselves to own what they consider a less than environmental friendly vehicle. Subaru's do very well in snow, etc and of the 4 wheel/AWD vehicles has probably the lower or lowest environmental impact so a good alternative to keep from feeling guilty:). They are also very well built and great vehicles, again just from observations and IMO.

So I got this for "Free" off of Game Pass over the weekend. I've already got Lines running from Durham to Wilmington to Charleston to Augusta built with these little Grasshoppers running in between. I've got some research to do before I can upgrade them.

Smoked a couple racks of ribs yesterday along with a pot of beans. Went to the Memorial Service here in town yesterday also.

I have a cast iron dutch oven. The top doubles as a frying pan, but I had not used it as such until yesterday. It was my first time cooking steaks on a cast iron pan... I won't ever (apart from charcoal) cook them on anything else now! I should have taken pictures as they were perfect, even though I accidentally went to medium well instead of medium.

I believe you've hit the nail on the head! I think its even at the point where Subarus will not be replaced by the new Toyota Hybrids with AWD. lol

Perhaps because my Subaru also had dedicated snow tires, or because it's AWD system just rocks, I still say the Subaru was better in snow than my Jeep.

At least in 6" or less and especially on icy main roads. 🤷‍♂️

It never occurred to me that it was an environmentally friendly vehicle though. 🤔🤷‍♂️

The one with the giant turbo, maybe not...

I smoked a rack of baby backs yesterday as well on my Kamado Joe. I love that thing! Bit of a learning curve to get good command of temperature but once you get that figured out, you can cook anything on it.
