    Double Pemi 6/26-27

    I think it's a problem solving issue. The main things to solve are: * Sleep * Feet * Re-fueling/hydration * Preparation/setting the stage Each one of them requires a lot of attention......obviously there are stuff I'm lacking in......living and learning :) Leaf seems to have made most progress...

    Double Pemi 6/26-27

    With the advantage of the long days this time of the year and many future weekends booked up it seems logical to try it this weekend. Unfortunately I have to work Saturday day so I can't start until early Saturday evening. I'm guessing a 6-7pm start is reasonable. The good thing with that is...
