Hiking

So me and Bruce are doing a hike every weekend, at least while the weather holds out. This past Saturday though was the hike of all hikes for me. We went up to Cannon Mtn (up in the White Mtns). I have never been on such a steep trail before in my life. It was so vertical, you had to use your hands and arms allot to actually pull you up on stuff. The lower part of the trail was mostly switchbacks (zig zags in the path to make it up extremely steep terrain). The upper part was mainly rocks that you had to climb up on. At one point there was even a wooden ladder that you had to use to make it up a part.
We made it to the summit where there’s a ski lodge and a cable car that brings people up. So it was kinda weird to have gone on such a rugged hike; sweat poring off of me and my shirt soaked, and seeing families with kids and strollers even, lol. While we were eating lunch one woman started talking to us and asked if we walked up. She actually said in amazement “there’s trails up here?”. Its like what! You’re on a mountain and you don’t think there’s hiking trails!? Lol
So the way down was grueling too. We took a different trail but it was just as steep, if not more so. And yeah, hiking down steep terrain is easier on your heart than going up, but hard on your knees, joints, and well, everything! Its allot of work too, even with gravity on your side. So anyhow, it turned out to be a 5 hour hike, up and back. I probably sound like I’m complaining about it, but honestly I’m not. Just emphasizing how rigorous it was; I’ve never done such an extreme hike in my life before. But I loved it, I thought it was awesome. I probably wouldn’t wanna do one that difficult and extreme every weekend, but every few weeks is pretty cool. It felt good, like I accomplished something that day
Next week though I’m taking Bruce to a trail in North Adams that I used to do allot. Its cool cause it has a big waterfall at the end of it. Its not as hardcore as the last one he picked, but it’ll be fun anyhow

Support ticket

An actual ticket in our queue at work. You can't make this stuff up, lol.

Joanne called back because while she was trying to fix the machine, her earring fell in where the ink cartridges are. She needs her earring back as well

 

Text not working

Well I was orignally loggin on to post that my phone's text messaging is flakey. Since Friday my phone to phone messages have been fine, but when people email my phone its been messed up and instead of show from the sender's email address it would show up as "from" the 1st word of the message. So instead of showing up as "from: friend" "Message: hey how's it going", hey'd get "From: Hey" "Message: how's it going". So i can't tell who its from. So i was going to post that here so my friends who email me would know that they should put thier name in as the 1st word so i know who its from.... but now things have gotten worse in that i'm not getting ANY sms text messages to my phone now. Gotta fucking love sprint *sigh*..... So if anyone's sent me a message and I' haven't replied, don't take it personal, either I didn't know it was you...or now i'm just not getting your messages. UGH

Hmmmm....

I recently came to the conclusion that brazilians don't close doors. I don't know why this is, but EVERY time a brazilian comes over to visit they will leave both front doors open. Sometimes they will partially close the 2nd’ door, but never fully. I don’t know why….

Yay, going camping this weekend! I can't wait. Its lineing up to be an awesome weekend too!

Ok, i have to by i'm VERY impressed with the new Code M. The new location is great & more so though is that Tony runs the place so professional

So today is Code M's grand reopening. I haven't been there in months. They even have a off location now. Hoping it'll be cool but we'll see.

So busy at work. I need a drink already...
