O'Mails Hiking Humor -- New Article! - 10/21/13 02:27 PM

Hello all! I thought I would just start one thread for all of these so I'm not clogging up the forum with multiple threads.

Here are the last couple of O'Mail Blog Entries:

goodjob Jester. Nice to know my better half is ahead of the curve on the inside. They cut out her appendix years ago saving from what I can gather a whopping 4 1/2 grams (about 1/6 of an oz.) cool

Careful with all that cheese man, you may be packing a sack full of gall stones inside weighing you down. On the bright side though, when they go in for those little buggers they may also lighten you up by cutting out your gall bladder as well. That's a near 2 1/2 oz. weight reduction. wink And that doesn't count the surgery induced weight loss program you will benefit from after getting sliced open like a slab of beef. shocked

Joking aside I enjoyed it. I like a cheddar, so sharp it turns my tongue numb.

Hello!
Two entries here, the first is a (hopefully somewhat funny) recipe for Trail Magic.

The second is a graphic I made after packing for my hike while watching a Batman movie.

Night Hiking To Mars! - 10/01/15 11:01 AM

Hey everybody!
Two things --
first, I've changed the name of the blog, which would screw me search-engine-wise if my blog was the sort of thing people actually searched for.
It's now called "Night Hiking To Mars."

More importantly, there's a new post!
