Step four: Go for a hike

Step five: Question your decision to get into snowshoeing

Step six: Be in awe of the beauty and tranquility of the woods in the winter

Step seven: Drink your favorite beverage to ease the pain

Once a good base is down, repeat steps 4-7.

Reply to Anyone know a company that will deliver 25 gallons heating fuel? by Foreign-Concept

Get a few 5 gal gas cans and go get diesel…preferably off road (it’s cheaper).

100 gal is usually the minimum for most companies. Sometimes 75 gal is the minimum. About 8 years ago I came across this ad for a guy with a trailer with a 1000 gal tank and he way less than 100 gallons in my tank. But the second time I called him he was wishy washy about coming out and I haven’t seen an ad for a similar service since. I assume he got in trouble for what he was doing.

Reply to 3 NH Fish & Game SAR Teams Searching for Overdue Hiker by agent_tits

This is so eerie. I was walking into work yesterday morning and because of the wind I knew I was short a layer. In that short walk, the wind was pulling the warmth from my body. I started to think about the book I read about Kate Matrosova getting caught above tree-line during a freak weather pattern in February. And then I started to think about how I would definitely not want to be tree line today (yesterday). The walk from my car to work was good enough for me.

I hope her fate is different than Kate’s.

Reply to Why is Trick or Treat not on Halloween by every1getslaid

In New London, they really only encourage trick or treating on Main Street. This year, they're doing it tonight. I don't like the whole scheduling trick of treating thing or telling people where they can do it. Trick or treating should happen on Halloween from the edge of dark until people shut off their lights. We haven't had trick or treaters in years, and honestly its kind of sad. I like handing out candy and seeing people's costumes. I don't have kids, so going up to Main Street to try to see people's costumes, etc. is just kind of weird.

Except it really doesn’t look like a clan hood. Quite a stretch. I’m sorry the signs upset you so much you think about them after you see them. It’s also quite apparent you’re threatened by the opposing candidate and you don’t have enough faith in your candidate.
