Grem posted:Sitting in my insomnia clinic and everyone else is talking about how we should nuke Iran, China, all of the middle east... Please don't engage me you loving loonies. That's going to be you in 10 years. I'm playing gently caress-gently caress waiting games at the VA. Couldn't find a goddamn parking spot so I moved poo poo around and parked on a sand mound after rolling around the lot for 45 loving minutes. Haven't been able to get a PCP appointment because "the operator was sending you to a phantom line" which is loving bullshit since I've been calling for two months and still managed to get my psych appointment rescheduled (because they cancelled it without calling me). I had to drag into the patient advocates office and raise a bitchfit to get poo poo scheduled for a simple check-up and maybe some vaccines before I wander off for six months (also some mis-shapened moles). So a last minute appointment is scheduled. So now I'm two hours early to my shrink appointment, because I got here early to find parking and bitch to PA.

I only just got around to getting hangouts on my phone the other day. Turns out one of the folks from my old unit is making it reallllllly difficult to find her. Only reason I got curious was she had some family pop up in the obits up north (we're both from roughly the same shithole area of Illinois). No facebook or any other easy-ish way to track her down, but some lovely google-fu and I found her only social media-ish account on google, downloaded hangouts and sent her a message. She just up and disappeared for a long time, bunch of the guys were getting worried, y'all know how it is. Turns out she's fine, married, and living not far from where I'd last known. Just glad she hadn't lost her poo poo and ate a bullet. My anger today was primarily driven by the VA. After my last post at the hospital, my appointment was bumped up an hour and change and I managed to get a chance to redirect some anger at comcast for billing me for an HD box I didn't have, and providing less than acceptable speeds considering I'm paying for 50mb. Oh, and I dropped off my revolver at the gunsmith. loving rear sight with it's busted-rear end screw. That's another $30-50 I shouldn't have to spend, especially since the loving thing was bought new. And girlfriend's out of town. No regular pussy make me crazy rear end in a top hat.

I would rather pay a gunsmith up front than deal with their track record for warranty work timelines. 3-6 months is apparently "optimistic" at best. the guy that checked it in at the shop laughed at the electrical tape that's been holding the rear sight on for the past month and two range trips. then said he'd have used duct tape. this is the pistol I shot for my carry permit, with ten rounds at 7 yards (farthest they care to test you here) left to shoot after the rear sight flew back and slapped across my face like the tiniest black metal brazilian made cock. still shot a 92.

never been on citalopram so I couldn't tell ya anything about it.krispykremessuck posted:that pack is gonna hurt after a couple hundred miles gonna have to do for a couple thousand. I have some hosed up hard-on for my old alice pack. besides, that's what the sleeping pad is for, when properly folded and strapped onto the back of the frame. it's stuffed in the pack in that picture. just ordered Frank's sleeping pad, rain coat, a new collar, and my rain suit (my set now is basically the old goretex parka and pants set the army didn't want back after deployment). had to order a wheel cover for the rucksack cover with that big loving circle of a tent. first aid kit, boots, and other miscellaneous poo poo are on the way already. got a 15600mAh battery pack for the phone and kindle. without food, it looks like I'll be in the 25 pound range. Frank's getting 2 - two quart canteens to carry on his vest, so about 8 pounds. unconventional, at best, is going to be the description of my hike.

yeah, moleskin is gonna be high on the list of poo poo to keep on hand. right up there with permethrin and a citronella candle to coat my balls with wax to keep the ticks off. I'm not that retarded. wait, maybe. I'll upgrade from alice someday, just want to hump her up this trail. cost effective, 3~ pounds, durable. obviously a nice pack isn't tremendously expensive, but I'll look into it for next season.

I never bothered looking into the ILBE because this pack was already laying around in the garage.Nostalgia4Dicks posted:you can also check out benzoin tincture no thanks. I'll stick to the moleskin. besides, the boots shouldn't be a real issue once they're soaked, stressed and waterproofed. with any luck I shouldn't need socks in them, and they'll be like wearing buttery soft and smooth baby skins.

I got one of those survival straw water filters for like $40 and a really good 5L (I think) hydration bladder with a 10L bag for like $19 those life straw filters are $20 on amazon. I got a water bottle with one in it for $30. good for 1000L (264 gallons) through a 0.2 micron filter. it should last the entire trip. Genocide Tendency posted:So this hiking trip is really going to happen? I'm sure there will be an occasional update or three, but I plan to try to cut off entirely from internet poo poo out there. my S4mini and kindle are the only electronics I plan to carry. phone is loaded with music, kindle is loaded with everything by mark twain and some earth sciences textbooks. so expect radio silence on my end except the occasional Frank picture and rambling tangent. maybe a beard update, since I only plan to trim enough back to eat without munching on the flavor saver. go3 posted:how much weed are you taking all the weed actually going to use this time on the trail to try to dry out a bit. ideally I'd like to make an eighth stretch at least a few weeks out there, but we'll see. besides, it's not like weed is impossible to find.

I'm going to take the usual suspects of protein bars, nuts, jerky, rice, and just whatever seems right when we're in town and milling through the grocery stores. Probably get some produce every town stop to eat the first couple days back on trail.

I was planning on beers already. Obviously not a lot or very far past town. Also some stuff that can pack a day in a small cooler bag, like eggs, cheese, and a small amount of butter. Frank gets an 8 pound bag of food, should last 5-7 days, plus scraps. Gotta have a bit of fat to push that dry poo poo food out. Those Knorr rice sides are going to be a staple. A buck apiece, 800~ calories a bag, two cups of water and you're good. The rotation is going to get stale, but I'm not paying through the nose for special trail food.

$1200 is pretty reasonable for a clutch, but it's a Volkswagen so they'll find something else broken that's twice as expensive. Just push it off a cliff. Even if insurance didn't pay out you're already ahead.

/\ that's kinda impressive. Anything chrysler during the cerberus years is a giant poo poo pile. The 4.0L straight 6 got axed in 2005, meaning there hasn't been a wrangler worth owning in at least a decade. Fiat has apparently made good changes, but their still poo poo cars in my mind. I have nothing but loathing hatred for GM after their 90s shitbox festival and then bailout money. At least Ford kept their poo poo together.

The new aluminum f150 is going to be interesting. Toyota will sell you a manual trans tacoma. Nissan will with the frontier. Dodge who cares. Stupid ford, killing the manual.

Spinal bifida inoccua is the hosed up kind. Spinal bifida occulta is the kind that lets you wander around like a normal person until you get x-rays one day and the tech breaks it down for you hooked on phonics style that you have a mostly harmless birth defect. I'd gently caress occulta chicks.
