Murphy's Law

[BreckDown]

Why is it, every time I order something it shows up hours after I leave for a trip where I would have liked to have used it? Seriously, this has followed me through two different hobbies over 12 years.

At least the silver lining here is that I have a new hammock on the way! I got the tracking number for my DL 1.1 Traveler late last night. It appears that it will arrive Friday morning, just hours after I leave for a backpacking trip. Looks like the good old ENO Single Nest gets one more trip in before it's retired to the loaner pile.

I got the trackers number late last night as well.

I feel your pain. A couple of times I have received gear the Monday after the weekend I needed it. Go figure.

At least it gives you something to look forward to....

and think how much better your trip would have been it you had had that newest toy

Murphy's Law states: "That which can go wrong will do so & at the worst possible moment" and I have made my living on the fact that this is SO very true
However, at times I tend to believe that Mr Murphy was an optimist in the extreme, as things often don't go that well.

I do feel your pain, I sometimes get my gear a day or so AFTER a trip ends.

I'll be honest, I'm just happy to have a new hammock that has a little more room. My ENO SN has been great and a real gram saver but it's a hair cramped for me.

I had some stuuf arrive the day after I left for a intestate trip... Gee was i looking forward to getting home..... to my wife of course!!!

If I ever meet Mr. Murphy, I'll be spending the rest of my days in a small concrete room with steel bars. Really, I daydream about it sometimes.

I'm a fan of finding the silver linings in life and having a new toy waiting for you when you get home certainly isn't a bad one. Plus, it gives you a perfectly good reason to plan another hike in the near future. I mean, you can't just let it sit there...right?
