DH is about 8 inches too long for our borrowed sleeping bags.

Is 55F cold for sleeping outside with your lower shins-feet hanging out of a sleeping bag?

77F seems cold for lake swimming. Who turned off summer?!

I'd assume it would depend on the person. I can't sleep with my feet covered at any temp. But if he's more sensitive to that stuff, it'll probably be cold. Just bring some thermal socks.

Started to read the first sentence and was really wondering where this was going...

Had a leftover tenderloin from Tic Toc tonight, followed up by a piece of angel food cake with confetti frosting. Fantastic.

I think most would have said too tall, not too long, so probably chalk it up to a Freudian slip.


to me, tall is up and down, vertical. Long is horizontal. He was horizontal on the sleeping bag, so I said long.

We shall be inside a tent though, so we'll just have to cuddle for warmth :smile: There is a cabin there, so if it's legit to cold, we can just pile into that, I'm sure. 0% and 10% chance of rain, so should be good on that.

So since I settled in about six weeks ago I've been hitting the gym hard. 20-30 miles run per week (that may not be much for some of you, but keep in mind I was an offensive lineman, not cross country runner in school) and five different weight machines every single night. And that's not including my two 8 mile hikes up into some of the Hawaiian mountains on my off gym days. On average I've been taking in about 1500 calories. In that six weeks I've lost exactly half a pound. Like, I know I'm losing drastically because I can visibly see it, but still, it gets a little frustrating when it's still only half a pound in six weeks!

You obviously put on ten pounds yesterday thinking about pie. It's the only explanation.

start measuring inches too, you'll see more difference. I'll bet your muscle to bodyfat ratio has changed a lot.

20-30 miles seems like a lot to me. I do like 6 miles a week :no:
