YES!!!!!! Please stop reminding me!!!:crying:crying I'm trying to be productive at work.........

We'll give the old college try! I figure if I do an average speed of &) [censored] miles an hour, I can get there right quick!!:scared:
Now, I imagine the next two work days will drag soooooo...
Great!! Now I gotta leave at 1 in the morning to get me some of that pie!!!:drool:
Safe travels, Jerry. Looking forward to meeting you!
Ohh...I can relate. My wife commented today before she left for work that she'll be glad when I'm gone cause she'll get back the dining room table.:laugh:
Thanks...Hawk! Of course...I'll change my mind of whats in my pack more times then I change my socks in a year.:rolleyes:
You ain't lyin'. It couldn't go any s-l-o-w-e-r.

Any last minute updates on the weekend forecasts? I checked...
BBQ envy.................as I sit here at work.
Woke up to 33 degrees here in Western NJ. Brrrrrrrrr....chilly. The dog wanted no part of being outside. Did his business.........and headed right back inside.
Cut them.....or grind them down....whatever works!!:scared:
I hear ya!! BBQ in NJ is non-existant. At least not that is distinctly palatable:lol:
BBQ in NJ.......think shreaded KFC with ketchup and brown sugar! Yuch!!:eek:
Ha-ha! 'Tis good to pack multi-purpose gear!!:D Keeps the pack weight down!!
Looks good. i'm planning to leave NJ at 4 am. Should put me in the Gorge, around noon or so. Look for a PM from me......
I'll take backpackin' over golf anytime!!!:D
Food is all dehydrated, packaged, and ready to go!! A little on the heavy side, of course, cause I tend to overpack my food. I won't go hungry, that's for sure!!
After Mother's Day...
Hey.....a guy's gotta do, what a guy's gotta do!;)
When I get back. I got to paint two bedroom's, a hallway, and finish planning my oldest daughter's wedding in June.:eek:
My other half!:laugh: Weight-wise that should save me about..............oh, never mind!!:lol::lol::lol::lol:
Amen to that, brother!!

Thanks, I appreciate it!!
Well, I've scoured over the maps, a NC Atlas/Gazatteer, Google Maps and MapQuest...........
Although the mileage and travel times between Google and MapQuest differ, I...
Thanks Hawk. That should help my planning......
Cleared the schedule at work, so I am good to go!!:) After reading this thread for the 5th time, and viewing past pics, I'm pretty psyched for this trip.
Now have to strategically plan an arrival...
Well......I resorted to downright begging and pleading!! (Yeah....wasn't pretty:eek:). And the other half said......."Sure.....go ahead. Have fun."
I was surprised, to say the least!:laugh:
