Anybody Else Burned Out? I'm Going Camping

[68X426]

Camping, and kayaking, and smoking cigars, and drinking, and eating, and enjoying the mountains.

Man I am burned out and need time at the lake. Hope everyone finds a way to have a great weekend! 

 

[Musicman]

Sounds like you have a great weekend lined up... enjoy

My wife and daughter drove 500 miles to visit me today. That's the only break I need this weekend 

[Cooter]

Yep, sometimes, you just gotta say f**k it and go for some R&R....Have fun my man...

[Drache]

I would love to but since an employee quit my and another person have been working 6 day weeks and were told by the higher ups that there will be no vacation time given out this year because of it. 

[Bob T]

Enjoy it 68x426, well needed most probably.
Is there still a trade embargo with Cuba resulting in big fat cuban Cigars getting hard to get hold of, or just available anywhere?
I must admit I probably only have one every few months with a red wine and sitiing out on the deck listening to Tubular Bells. It takes 45 mins which is about right to get a good shine on

[chargermike]

[Old Moparz]

It's good to get away & do nothing once in a while.   

This is my chair were I sit ALL ALONE.   

All alone? Is that by your choice, or are others just avoiding you?   

[skip68]

I'm alone NOT by choice.  
I think it has something to do with my needing showers and using soap.  

No, it's because there aren't many people out here.   I have an extra chair for anyone that wants to come out here and sit with me. ..............
Anyone? ......................................
We don't have to talk ............

[ACUDANUT]

Yea, I'm literely Burned out....It's too Hot to go camping.  We folks around KC have had 10 straight days of 100 Plus temps and that does not count the "heat index" which means the real temp with the added humidity= 120 plus. ...Man it SUCKS.  Too Hot for: FISH, Fun or Fu------.

Cool! Just don't drink too much, you might wake up with a Tattoo 

Skip -- Those pics are awesome. Looks like you found the PERFECT hiding place to get away... We all have those...

Enjoy the weekend 

[Kern Dog]

I was in the Army in the 80s. That was my first experience with camping in a tent.
I can see how it could be fun sleeping in a nice RV or Pickup truck camper, but sleeping in a tent again? I just can't see me working all year to pretend that I'm homeless.

Your tag says Las Vegas, Nevada that is Yosemite or at least looks like it anyway only about 90 mile by the crow flies from were I live in Eastern Sonora area of Northern California... God country well if you get all the welfareites, tourists & tweekers out of here anyway...

Me & dad just got back from Beardsley reservoir last night , trolling with night crawlers, caught a bunch of big trout, lakes looking really full & lots of water & fish....

In the Marines, we just slept without any protection most of the time.  Sleeping in the cold rain was the worst...Or wait...in the Jungles were those damn mosquitoes and the heat that would not give you a break...God I do not miss those days in Hell.

[69rtse4spd]

Skip68 nice place, but you said you have another chair. What happened to it or the other person, all I see is one chair & a shovel. . What are you up to  .

[skip68]

The shovel is my weapon against rattle snakes. 

[ChgrSteve67]

Yeah I'm ready to kill some paper targets.

Took the wife out to a farmers orchard in Brentwood today to pick some peaches.
We also stopped a few tomes along the way and got some fruit and vegtables at some road side stands.

Put about 250 miles on the Chally

[nvrbdn]

we did go camping in the heat here near st.louis in illinois. a bit warm, but a great weekend. golf car cruising through the night. it wasnt too bad. kept the cooler close. cooked a pork loin on the bbq grill with potato and mushrooms. then  made pizza on the grill sat night.hope your camping trip was as nice as ours.

[68X426]

I feel way better. It's Monday, back at work. Refreshed. Great camping weekend.

Winehouse died, Farve might be an Eagle, the world is still insane, the DC forum is always here.

No tattoos to be seen.

Oh, you mean the skeeters the size of humming birds or the dredded "2 step" green bamboo viper? Yep, shit sandwiches.

[ChgrSteve67]

I try to not re-live those days in the military.

Now a days with the wife its hotels and motels, I get the evil eye if I even mention a motor home or trailer. I think the gates of hell would open up if I even uttered the words "tent" out of my mouth.

I picked up a really nice tri-tip yesterday that I'm going to grill this week along with some fresh corn on the cobb.
My own little corner of tranquility, at least for a few hours.

[The70RT]

I don't know about anyone else but I have seen less mosquitoes this year than I ever had. I had 176 hours vacation and managed to go camping a couple times. I prefer to camp below big water dams this time of year when it's hot. It is a lot cooler camping by 50 degree water.

[ACUDANUT]

 You must mean Lake Taneycomo ?

[The70RT]

You must mean Lake Taneycomo ?

Yes, Tablerock & Bull Shoals as well. I recently was at Grand Lake OK and it was like 100 out but was great right below the dam on the river.

[ACUDANUT]

I just got home from Tablerock.  Damn it was hot..Thank God we had A/C !!

Is there still a trade embargo with Cuba resulting in big fat cuban Cigars getting hard to get hold of, or just available anywhere?

Yes, no cubans, legally. But what are called cubans are everywhere. I doubt they are the real thing, likely all counterfeits.

I know people who bring them into the US from Canada for personal consumption. But they don't seem anything better or worse than any fine cigar from Central America or the island (DR). Meaning they are good. One day we will see lots of cubans, great ones and run-of-the-mill. I maintain they won't be any better than the great ones from anywhere else.

Example: Partagas Black is awesome, from the Dominican Republic. CAO MX2 uses tobacco from 5 countries, including Brazil. CAO Italia is my favorite, and it's from Italy of all places.

Anybody interested in a cigar thread? I'll post a starter thread if folks are into it.

Ok, Im due a trip into town to go to Havana house , one walk in big humidor of a store, yeah , put up some of your favourites .
Just a monthly or so treat for me so I usually get something worthwhile.
Can sit out on the deck with Tubular Bells on and a red wine and a cigar. Works every time . Cheers

[nvrbdn]

a friend of mine came back from mexico with some cuban cigars in his luggage and they stopped him and had him sign a consent letter saying he was giving up ownership of the cigars and that this was the end of it. yesterday he got a letter in the mail from the courthouse of st.louis saying he has a court date set for illegal transportation of a banned substance.

[Dodgecharger74]

I'am burned out from working 7 days a week  I think I will take the charger out and let some smoke out of the tires.

[nvrbdn]

i cant go camping this weekend, the lake i live on is having lakeapalooza with lots going on. 5 bands playing at the "tiki bass bar" on the water. so we all get on our pontoon boats and watch the bands play. my kid sings for a band called "no holliday" which will be the 4th band playing. so saturday will be full.

It's so hot out, that the tires are smoking "standing still" .
