Note: If you’re a Mac user with a TimeCapsule. Don’t forget to tell your anti-virus to exclude the backup drive from scanning. Yeah think about that one for a minute and you’ll go OHHHH!!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n I’m planning to get some real work done today.<\/p>\n Writing, practicing, and a nice dog walk that should help me work the kinks out of my joints and my new big camping pack.<\/p>\n Last week didn’t go at all the way it was supposed to. <\/p>\n I’d planned to get a lot more of the book written, and I wanted to experiment with breaking the book into more manageable discrete chapters.<\/p>\n This will take some time and I’m not exactly sure if I can manipulate the file that way and still have it printable in a simple way when I publish.<\/p>\n I’d also planned to test flight a new pack with a short hike.<\/p>\n As the dogs and I have been working our way higher onto the mountain I’ve discovered some really cool places where the phone can’t ring.<\/p>\n I’ve thought “Gee, it would be nice to get up here with the computer, and sit on a rock just typing.” The dogs would like it and I could use the peace & quiet.<\/p>\n With no internet connection, no email, and no phone, I wondered how much progress I could make.<\/p>\n This has led to me heading higher on the mountain, because just over the next rise there always seems to be a more amazing place.<\/p>\n Which led me to realize if I was to get hurt, or If it rained or if one of the pups was to get hurt I really didn’t have the kind of supplies with me that I’d need, to hunker down for a storm or for the night if that became necessary.<\/p>\n Sure I carry the radio so I could call for help if I was really badly hurt. But that does nothing to deal with something simple like rain, The forestry service takes a very dim view of you asking to be flown out by helicopter just because you din’t want to get wet.<\/p>\n I own a slick little tent which would be big enough for me & the dogs if it rained. But I had no really convenient way to carry the thing. My normal day pack just isn’t the right size to carry it, a little food and plenty of water.<\/p>\n This left me looking at packs and doing research on the different brands. I caught a deal on a nice Osprey pack, it arrived last week,<\/p>\n I’ve managed to do some test packing and think it’s exactly what I need. I’ve also been thinking about stuff like; a disaster, or having to bug out due to fire, as well as actually using it for overnight camping.<\/p>\n Hey I’m nothing if I’m not a planner.<\/p>\n Sometime this week the plan is to pack light, but load up the new pack & take to the heights. I figure, this computer can easily run for 6 hours on a charge. A day on a rock might be a good thing for me.<\/p>\n I think I’m going to do the experiment about splitting the book here at my desk on the big screen before I go all mobile.<\/p>\n The next thing is some nice solar panels… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When I have to rebuild my system from scratch… I’m always amazed at just how customized it really is.
