Big Update and HALP!!!

Howdy everyone! It's been more than a month since my last update and there's a lot to cover so let's jump right in.


I've been doing volunteer work at the local food bank for about the last month or so. Only doing 4 or 5 hours a week, but it adds to my exercise and beats the hell outta sitting around the house. I can't find work for shit so this gives me something to do. I'm hoping to bring you a post one of these days of what I do over there.


Training for my backpacking trip has been going well. Been doing 3 miles a day most days, and every other day or so I do 6 to 8 miles. It may not seem like much to some folks, but when you compare it to my previous exercise regiment of zero miles+potato chips+tv/video games, it's a HUGE improvement. The more I do the easier it gets. I think it's paying off quite nicely. Also, I pretty much have most of my gear for the trip now, so sometime next week I'll finally be able to start training with my pack! Would love to share a picture of all my gear but I'm too lazy right now to set it all up. I'll make another post next week and show you what I have.
