I was thinking of making an appointment soon, it is overdue. And I can do the camping thing if it does not involve me sleeping with a layer of canvas between me and the outdoors.

Used to love camping when I lived in Winnipeg I was out most summer weekends with my pup tent air mattress and a nice camp fire burning. I was gonna do some camping here in Cape Breton, but I live in a bit of a resort town compared to Winnipeg have a great backyard with trees all round and a fire pit on the patio just down from the back deck. I also was acquired by a cat, then two and I'm now a trapped man servant to these two little fuckers!

I can also see the stars from my backyard and the milky way too, in Winnipeg you had to go many miles outside of town for dark sky's and good seeing, only the brightest stars were visible in Winnipeg, perhaps a dozen of the brightest. These days I'm lazy and use a phone app to id stars, just hold the fucker up to the sky, easy as pie.

My go-to camping is at the coast. We have some very nice state parks where I set up camp and go diving. In the summer there are some nice lakes in the mountains where I take my boat and go sailing. Also whitewater rafting. Some weekend trips included three or more families and ten or fifteen people in the camp.Used to love camping when I lived in Winnipeg I was out most summer weekends with my pup tent air mattress and a nice camp fire burning.

I like go camping for at least a few days each month except December and January. It all stopped on March 15 2020. Associations have unraveled since then. It's going to take a while before the new normal is established.
We've had as many as three cats and had no problems with leaving them in the house for a few days. Our cats were indoor cats. We never let them out, so it wasn't much different to them. When we were gone for longer, we had somebody look after them for us. I'm not sure they even knew we were gone.

The media needs to emphasize the maiming aspects of this disease, I figure when the vaccines are rolled out and the mass hospitalizations and deaths stop, people will start paying more attention to the aftermath. I guess it's gonna mean that the evangelicals and Trumpers are gonna be even more fucked up than before, provided they survive. With these new more contagious and lethal variants circulating it won't be long before they become infected, their only hope will be to hide in the herd with those who have sense and brains.
I wonder how the medical community and hospitals will feel about these assholes by next fall and winter when they show up in ICUs. At least the innocent will be protected by summer and the fools and assholes will suffer and die, there is at least some justice in it I suppose.
How's your friend with covid doing? There are antibody therapies available for early intervention, they saved Donald and Rudy. Hope she's gets through ok, her chances are better these days, even with most of the variants.

I used to camp in Winnipeg to get out of the city, have a nice little camp fire to sit by and stargaze, I used field glasses, don't have much use for a telescope, except for the planets all stars are just points of light, if I want a better view I use the internet.
Used to snorkel as a kid and moved into SUBA as a teen, used a wet suit back in the day, but I only dove in summer, sold my gear when I moved to Moncton back in 78 and my air card expired decades ago!
I could leave the cats if I wanted to go camping, but where I live now is pretty rural, and I don't feel the need. Here is a car drive starting from about 3 minutes away from my driveway. I was testing out my Runcam2 on the hood of the car and set it to a nice tune.

He ran against the black progressive mayor of Tally, and just barely won. I'm a Blue Dog and was a big supporter of Gwen Graham. I feel like she could have easily won, but all that is water under the bridge now.

My crown came off eating my cousin's Christmas pound cake. I had to go get it put back on, so I went ahead and scheduled a cleaning. It was good to see everyone at the office, but my cleaning girl had gained a stone or three. (I can't really talk, I'm 214 myself)

State Parks are open here. Duh, it's Florida, so everything is open. (not really. My work will be closed until after the 4th of July)

There are a few people in Winnipeg that speak Plautdietsch. The word noaktich comes to mind.
My brother has camped/fished at least one of the 100k lakes in Manitoba with great enjoyment. The mosquitoes however were relentless. My Dad's sister lives in Rosenort. Beautiful country I'm told - one if the few provinces I haven't been to, yet.

they didn't; you live with them.
Hear Ya, all I can say is hang in,stay away ,and stay safe. The way this is playing out it's almost like it would have been worthwile to catch a bout w/Covid in earlier days when it seemed to be milder, now (Brazilian Variant) has world class athletes (Van. Canucks) kind of on their ass sick,so double down on the safety measures guys.ccguns

Looks like the supply chain for things like hand sanitizer and masks is back to full supply or maybe oversupply. Walgreens has hand sanitizer for 50% off on clearance. $2.49 for 16 ounce bottles. I remember at the beginning seeing those little travel size bottles costing close to $5.00.
But last time I was at Smart Food Service the latex gloves were close to $20 a box when they were $6 before the pandemic.

Oregon coast is gorgeous . Have you been to John Dellenback Dunes Trail? That was my favorite . So trippy and peaceful . Camping overnight to experience the sunrise over the dunes was breathtaking. The shadows cast at that time of day are heavenly.

I done a lot of camping and hiking in the area but I don't think I've done that trail yet. Thanks for the tip. The whole area is amazing.

I'm bringing the exercise bike out of the basement and I'm buying a new regular one and plan on being on it as much as possible. I've got arthritis in the right foot pretty bad and it makes distance walking painful, but more after the fact than while walking. I've been hunkered down since last spring doing the pandemic thing, but apparently I'm eligible for the shot on the 12th of this month. I'm doing some lifestyle changes now and hope to be out and about a lot more this summer. It's time to do some flying and I haven't been flying for awhile, when ya crash ya gotta do the "walk of shame", so there's exercise involved in that too!
