I'm weak.. I'm a horrible person..

I swore I'd not buy any new gear.. even if I'm doing a jmt hike.. I swore I wouldn't...

then there was a bargain bin hexamid solo plus at zpacks....

Of course, I'm male, so I'm supposed to be hardwired for instant gratification in spite of any long term consequences, so I'll just blame my Y chromosome...

Hmmm....yeah, OK, I think Mrs. Phat just might buy that if you act really, really sincere and can keep a straight face.

Just because you're weak, doesn't mean you're a horrible person. Hang in there, Champ.

Ha!

As if that's gender related.

There's a 0 degree top quilt upstairs on the bannister in a year that's likely to be 3 season gear, all year.

Buy it. Let the world think what they will. It's all about you. (actually, me)

Ha!!! My wife and I made an agreement that I (we) need to sell one "toy" to buy another. As IF these things are toys!! Buy the way, I've been window shopping for gear again...anybody interested in a '83 Fender Strat?

My problem is really keeping the straight face coming out with these excuses when I get the "Robert" and the grumpy CFO face...

Of course, it's so small maybe she won't notice it..

Speaking of which. I have a package that arrived.. from zpacks... and the wife has a board meeting tonight... Joy!

I hope you take some pictures!

Ssssh.. she's home now!
