Dax when you will start your trip? Did you manage to get any satellite phone for emergency?

Shalom shalom!
1 of September!

The length of your break makes me almost wish I could afford to go back to teaching.

My flight out is Tuesday evening. No phone. Just a mirror and whistle.

We have another almost 1.5 months of Jewish holidays in the between, this is wonderful for someone that love free time to do other things, like me!

@Auroradream26 I hope you are well. 2 lb left to go and I leave Tuesday afternoon. I just hope this injury to my shoulder does not affect my backpacking too much. I could not get into an orthopedic doctor before my trip. Oh well

I'm still fighting headaches but I'm not sure if it's from being sick or my fight to get caffeine out of my life lol. Only 2 lbs left! You're doing great! I'm starting over on Monday. I can't even think to track anything right now with my head pounding but I've been making a lot of veggies and avoiding bread.
I bet you're getting excited. Will you be taking a camera along at all? I hope your shoulder doesn't bother you much.

I wish I had just part of that time.

Hi! How are your eggs?

Ain't none exploded, yet, but I'll be surprised if any hatch. Don't know how old most of them are, and with the incubator being out in the new building, the RH has been all over the map; higher than lockdown RH in the early morning to 30's during the day.

The whole deal has, as much as anything, been an experiment to see if "outdoor" incubation is feasible around here in warm weather.

It is just a matter of decision.

I hope your head feels better soon. I have a camera I bought for the trip with two SD cards, and four batteries, a cheap version of a go pro, and my phone which will be for emergency and once a day use on the pack part of the trip because of how quickly it chews up battery.
I am excited, but so busy with work and preparations that I am a bit stressed.
My issue with the shoulder is limited. I can do most movements, I just can't put my arm down by my side and raise it up out there. It starts hurting about forty five degrees, and I don't push further. I can go around and come down out to the side just not up. I am betting on a muscle or ligament tear. So aside from hooking a bra I just have to not use that movement on that side, and try not to hurt it removing the pack.
