While eating lunch, my server at Wholesale Internet came back up after replacing the system hdd. Because of course that hard drive is the one that fails. XS is reinstalled and the RAID array is rebuilding. Should be able to import the storage and recreate the VMs when I get home, yay.

Figuring out where the GF and I want to backpack to this weekend at Joshua Tree. Got a new pack and new sleeping back, temps in low 40's at night and I'm excited to try it out.

I'm reading up a bit about indoor plant growing on a global scale.
Specifically PlantLab and Plant Paradise
It's really awesome technology.
Somebody's growin' weed...

This - This is what I was basically working on / towards about twelve years ago... I so wished I had had the support then to make it happen. I knew then - in 2004(ish) to do this,.. I was working at one of the Automobile Manufactures here in KY, and wanted to take an old wasted space (Wal-Mart building, etc) and turn it into an indoor farm...
Back then I knew (fairly certain) I could have picked up grants and such left and right as the goal was to go nearly 100% green... Collect water, use solar heat, power, wind power Geo-thermal, bio-gas - full gambit... and grow everything,.. and seafood.... as seafood is a $4BILLION import....
But I didn't have the support (still don't) or the encouragement (still don't) or the belief it would work.... And now it's all over the place. Aqua / Hydroponics, Vertical Farming and such.. ...

What pack? I have a Red Rock Outdoor Assault Pack (not for tactical but for modular reasons).
If you find yourself this way.. you should hit the Gorge

You can always start at the small scale and work up.

I got the Kelty Coyote 80 from REI. We usually only do one night, wouldn't consider anything more than two nights, so I didn't need anything too intensive. We opted for a square double sleeping bag because neither of us enjoy feeling like a butterfly about to emerge from a cocoon, so it fits nicely into this pack, and she carries the tent/sleeping pads.

Thats the kind of pack I'm looking into right now. I don't understand why people want camo stuff for hiking!! I want to be SEEN! More than that, I want to be able to put my stuff down and be able to still see it from 2 meters away.

It's a great pack. And yes, I want to be seen in the off-chance I get lost somehow.

Where I hike I'm also worried about other hunters. Leading cause of death in the forests here is being mistaken for a moose/deer

Do you recommend any specific tent in a 2 person size (I'm fat) that I could pack easily on my motorcycle? I'm going to do a big month-long trip and likely camp in a few KOA locations to save cash.

If you're in a KOA or something and not worried about wildlife (bear burrito) check out hammocks. Hennesy ones are highly reviewed. They pack away to nothing and setup is 5 minutes.

Oh god. So many memories of hunter safety videos are flooding back.
