Suhnday cleanup/domestics

Great weekend in the woods, clearing some of the sewage that accumulates over time in the backwaters and eddies of the mind.

Both Brudda B and I got an early off and were able to make camp by noonish on Freeday.   Nice enough weather up to Satyrday night when the winds came up and the temperatures dropped,

but livable.   We just called it an early night and retired to our individual shelters.  

Was up way before the dawn both days.    Was able to see satallites  on Satyrday morning.    Was staring up and suddenly felt vertigo as is seemed like the sky was moving, in a linear direction.   Then realized the ‘stars’ I was seeing were satallites and moving way higher and faster than any commercial airliner could.   no markings and were invisible to the naked eye until they hit the higher edge of terminus.    Dunno if what I was seeing was Gen1 Starlinks (before they started putting the anti-reflective coating on them) or some other group of units, but they were in  fast orbit.

Yeah, we were that far out in the boondocks that light pollution was zero.   its a few miles to camp once you hit the gravel road, and worth the trip every time.   PEACE, QUIET, very few drivethroughs, and the ones that do like to camp there prefer the same things we do.

T’weren’t many out there this weekend and the pair that were, folded early when the temps dropped off.  

Not Brudda B and I,,,, build up the fire till even it ain’t cuttin’ it, then sleeping bag time.    

My only fail (besides the fact that I forgot my camp chair) was an air mattress that had developed a slow leak since last outing.   I would wake up every hour or so to re-inflate it enough to get to the next time. Boney shoulders and hips contacting ground, were the wake up call to do so, then roll over and back to sleep.    Gonna have to inflate the thing underwater to see any leaks it may have as soapy water and pressure haven’t revealed it yet.   OR, wait till it gets worse  and won’t hold pressure over time.   Frugal me has no desire to replace it at this time (not like its in regular use,,,,) and I have other options.   That particular matress is only for my single man tent that I can’t get my cot into, and I have an thinner one that I use when Hammock campling (more for the added insulation than support like I need on the ground)  BUT, if kayak-kamping, its sorta critical because that tent is the schizznizzle for fitting in a kayak: and it can be set up anywhere thats flat and coffin sized.  Very low profile and has withstood a texas turd floater pretty danged well.(would have done better if i had chosen a higher site to pitch it.)

But, tis back to the grind tomorrow.   Weather is getting more springlike than winter like and we should start seeing blooms aplenty here soon.   Spring is springin’ forward. (with the occasional pissed off winter coming back into the room sayin’ “OH! and one more thing,,,,”or “I forgot to add that your momma wears combat boots,,,,” or somesuch.)

As for the real world,,,, dunno.   totally off the horn of such over the last couple days, and other than the Koked up Krainian getting kicked out of the White House, haven’t been paying too much attention (and really, not even sure about that event at this point.)

A much needed respite and Ground and Center is now behind me and my mind is much clearer for it.
