Interesting question came to mind as I find myself stuck at home this weekend (like many other weekends). . . . .

If we are all such outdoor type folks, why in the heck are we all glued to our computers instead of out enjoying the outdoors and our toys?

This weekends excuse is I am sick, (same symptoms as Giardia, but not Giardia just really hot tex-mex) but thats stretching it.

It usually looks to me like there are a lot fewer posts on weekends than weekdays, leading me to think that a lot of us are indeed out and about. I am stuck in the home on wheels thanks to my bumb shoulder and a wife with a monster migraine...

I'm at work and the outside temperature is 35 degrees; up from 18 degrees. I'm docked outside of Joliet, Il.

Speaking to home on wheels, are you using one of these ?

If not, you should. I watched a million dollar coach burn to the ground two summers ago in Minnesota.

Mine got hot, but worked as advertised.

Dentist for myself and both kids this AM, wound care doc 1 hour later, wife off at class for work, both kids doing homework right now, plus out of it on pain pills - but at least the pain is gone for the first time in 10 days (Doc upped the doese on the pills)

Finished shredding knee over the summer & can't spare the time until the semester's over to fix it.

i do my "computering" with my AM cup of coffee and then in the evening while things are winding down..being retired i jump on in the day if i'm between house chores and the Honey Dew List..
for my outdoor time i head down to the Mississippi River backwaters,summer and winter to try out gear or really use in in the summer--check out Youtube--"wetcanodogs" for my first couple trys at posting videos..

I was shopping for soon come twins today. Besides, on a 9mile x 22mile island, there's not much 'out doors'. But there are beaches though!

I still spend a lot of time outdoors through work, instructing with the local youth group and having fun on my own or with my family. I am in the field for at least part of the day, about 4 days per week.

I have had bad knees since I was a teenager and in the past couple of years they have really limited the scale of my outdoor adventures. I need to have surgery again but really do not feel like being laid-up through the long recovery time. Maybe I will start the process in January after deer hunting and Christmas holidays are over.

I usually check ETS Forum in the morning before work and again after supper with a cup of tea. I watch very little television anymore, although I am hooked on Survivorman and Ray Mears!

Hey Kris,

When is the BIG DAY that the twins are due? How is your wife doing, carrying twins cannot be fun?
