The most and only requested item during a short hike in the park was....

My Better Half and I, my brother and his wife, and my sister, her husband, and her 2-year-old, went for a brief "toddler" hike in Evansburg State Park this Saturday.

My thighs ached on Sunday morning. I am SO out of shape. <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I was the only one who brought a pack along -- my usual EDC shoulder bag. My siblings don't believe in that sort of thing.

I had a water bottle, band aids, other first aid items, pain reliever, emergency blanket, mirror, PSP, my camera, ice pack, duct tape, a pack of facial tissues, hand sanitizer, bandanna, tiny bottle of Pepto Bismol, etc.

On my person I had my SwissChamp, Leatherman Wave, lip balm, and stuff like that.

One thing was needed from me. Two people asked me for the same item. Name that item. Yes, I listed it above.

I really hope it's not a water bottle. If not, then my next guess would be bandaids/moleskin and after that pain reliever, and lip balm. I'd bet money it's either water or something to do with comfort.

We have a winner!

Both my tiny niece and my wife used facial tissue to blow their noses. Everyone else must have used their sleeves.

I guess they all didn't want to have to ask me for something out of my bag of goodies after humorously ridiculing me for carrying the damned thing. HA! They knew I would rib THEM in turn.

My niece and wife enjoy automatic immunity. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> They get whatever they need from me that I can provide. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
