Good points Lynda. Yikes, what did I start with my friendly bantering; I thought pikes were thicker skinned.

I get it now, you guys don't understand what a sherpa is, and here I thought you all were being a bunch of smart @sses.

Thanks to you.  I was also unsure.

I tend to get existential about the weather when I'm out there.  There's nothing you can do about it.  May as well enjoy what you can.  Two or three times I've cut a trip short because the weather was so miserable.  It must be very miserable, I've stuck it out through hurricanes & tornadoes & snow & half the trip wind-bound. 


Midwinter bickering is best left for Back To Civ forum.  Every day the sun creeps closer and closer to the equator.

. . . were the moderators attitude reflects in the all the people that post on the sight and I like it.

I think we tried that.  It was decided to let the moderators keep their original attitudes.

Smartassing flavors character.  Just like that weather you're talking about.

I started a response, but deleted it as it got too long.
Short version, no, would not be interested in taking a barometer. I have spent a lot of time out doors, most of it on farm equipment, but a good share just being outside in the open. I don't need assistance in knowing what the weather is going to do in the next few hours and a very good idea what the marrow will bring.  Now, if it would let me know exactly what the weather is going to be in two days, different story.
Not sure i would bring along a Sherpa either, too may people, but a portage monkey sure would be handy in getting my bear bag rope unsnagged! Wink
