The PCT Addict, aka The Incredible Bulk, is having withdrawal symptoms. Being 3000 miles away from the PCT is hurting. Time will not heal this wound. Eventually I will return to California and the PCT for good. Until then, I will while my time away working and hiking the northeast trails, rocky as they be.
Severe thunderstorms are due to arrive this afternoon. This may be a repeat of last weeks tornadic activity in Mass. where three twisters touched down, killing four people. I love weather, but this is going to far.
I live on the top flow of a four story convered loft. It was a Joanne Fabrics mill years ago. I have setup an amateur radio station, complete with an antenna about ten feet high in the living room. I am sure Sharrel will make me take it down, but I am having fun for now.
Two attempts to summit Mt Monadnock failed. The first time was due to fear of an approaching thunderstorm (the mountain is the tallest in the area!) and the second was due to slippery rocks, fog and wind. Bottom line - I need to loose weight again, as I did in 2008, because I was too slow. Faster, and I would have summited the first time. I'll be spending my nights listening to the weight loss hypnosis audiobook. It really works.
Back to work...
