Yes it was. Didn’t sleep as late on Saturday as I would have liked to, but that’s the way it is sometimes. Did get to sit around and relax some, though. Then went and played a round of golf with a good friend. Didn’t play worth a crap, but still had a good time. Came home and did a little project here at the house that I needed to get done. (Seems like there are more little projects to do when you are trying to sell a house.)
Today, slept a bit later, got up and relaxed with some coffee. Jill and rode around for a couple of hours and checked out some other neighborhoods. Then home and more relaxing.
Yep, a good weekend.
Oh, I also installed a new version of Ubuntu on the laptop. Runs so much better. Seemed like 8.04 wasn’t that great, for some reason.

This Saturday, Survivor Dave and myself went to Cooper Gap on the A.T. to do some trail magic. Trail magic is a term that hikers use to describe unexpected events of kindness that others do along the trail. Some are like we did, which is set up with sandwiches, drinks, snacks, etc and some may be a stashed ice chest with beer or a ride into town at a crossing.
We did this last year at the same place. We like Cooper Gap because we see a lot of hopeful thru-hikers and some section hikers.
Also, we planned this one around the chance to meet a fellow hiker that we both know from one of the message boards.
As an added bonus, the weather was to be in the low 70′s and sunny. So, I decided to take the top of the Jeep for the day. I did put the summer top on as it was going to be about 40 when i left the house that morning, but it was still a great drive.

Well, we had a good weekend, weather wise, and I didn’t have much to do at the house. Saturday morning, I did make a run to Home Depot for a few things hen came home and did a little work. After that, it was off to the PreOwned Store, where I bought the Jeep. I picked up a used bumper with a big brush guard and a bikini top for summer. Came home and installed the bumper. Now to drive it! I decided to make a run up to Amicalola Falls State Park for the 2010 Appalachian Trail Celebration & Backpacking Clinic. I wanted to see a few folks and meet David “AWOL” Miller, the author of AWOL on the Appalachian Trail. David & I are friends on Facebook, but have never met. As I was walking up to his table, he recognized me. It was real god to finally meet him. Had a great drive up, a good time at the clinic and a great drive back.
Sunday, I actually got to go play golf. Survivor Dave & I had a fun round, as long as you don’t factor in our scores.
Oh, I should also add that I did the 15 to 20 gallon gas mod on the Jeep. when they built the jeep they used one tank, but offered the 15 gallon as standard and the 20 as an upgrade. All they did was change the sending unit and put in a long vent tube, so it would shut off at 15 gallons. You remove the extra tube and you have 20 gallons. Of course with the 15 gallon sending unit, it stays on full for a while.
