I'm with you on the pie.

There will be cake and maybe ponies.

The cake is a lie.


No big loss, pie is superior in every way possible anyways.

On another note, I just checked the weather and it's calling for freezing fog this morning here :?. Lucky enough though that it has been pretty nice, mid-low 30's as a high all last week or so and mid 20's as a low.


Ya know, I think I hate you. Its been swinging between -20 to 35f the last few weeks. Annoying as hell really.

Been thinking about moving to the SE though. Hows everything down there?

Wow, that sucks to be up there. It's been staying pretty constant low to high 30's for the past few weeks. It got up to very low 40's a couple days though. Tonight we're getting a little flurry of snow, though I'm not thinking it will be more than an inch. I like it in S.E., it's not too hot and it's not too cold. Though the constant rain and constant gray skies kind of drag down a guy a bit. If you can get past that it's a nice place. Though there isn't much as far as shopping options and being on islands really limits your driving (so no summer road trips).

Call me crazy, but I'm looking forward to getting back onto the Slope. This "winter" down on the Peninsula is getting annoying, haven't had hardly any weather lower then +10°F.
Our world is on the verge of a temporal displacement, and it will be humanity that falls victim to the repercussions. The few humans remaining desperately search for answers to their infinitesimal existence.

I've been having problems with my glasses fogging up. I've tried various anti-fog sprays and different styles of ski-masks and other face protection, to no avail. Most of the fog seems to be on the inside of my glasses, almost none is on the outside of the lenses. Do you guys know if goggles would help with this problem?

I'm also trying to decide between Carharrt Extremes bibs and RefrigiWear Iron-Tuff bibs. Which do you guys prefer?

I also asked these questions in a thread I made asking about cheap ways to survive -50F. Link.

Try looking in a dive shop. They use to make a anti fogging spray for masks and goggles. But I dont know how it would work in the Northern climate.

Please forgive the double post, but I ran into a gut at the Sportsman's Warehouse who tells me a few of the employees there have been batting around chapterish ideas. I figured this would be easier for them to find if it wasn't on page 4...

If you are reading this, I am the guy with the ZS patch on the cap.

Unfortunately, I haven't had any recent experience with glasses fogging up and while I'm familiar with the Carhartt bibs I'm not familiar with the RefrigiWear ones.

Greetings from Hawaii guys. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. Truth be told Hawaii Sucks.

Hence, my big announcement.





The wife and I should (with a little luck and a lot of saving) be back home come July. I have ended up selling my guns, my tools, and a lot more, but I'll be back.

Just wanted to give ya an update. Mebbe have a BBQ at the house after we're back.

*shrug* it honestly was for a family emergency that we didn't know how long it would take to resolve. Now that it's done with, all I have to do is sell everything I own to afford plane tickets lol. If anyone wants one, I've got a deal on a spikes lower in our trading post.

I've got a month to save $1k while being unemployed. This is going to suck lol.
