…added a "chill out lounge" to the forum.

Ahem…. As this is the internet after all, I could be a spotty faced 12 year old pretending to blog on interesting stuff in order to score brainy chicks… or hairy mountain bikers. That whole primal stuff and trying to sound like I know stuff and have an opinion that matters is just a front. But hey, it works for me and is a lot more fun than kakapo, kea, kiwi, and sheep.

Thanks for the mention and the traffic and calling me a pretty boy?? Ouch! Maybe it is time to get back to my mountain biking roots, stop shaving the legs, and go get a little bit dusty with my dirty old fat-tired self?

I do feel a sense of loyalty to Emily… apart from her likely being smarter than both of us, having access to prescription head stuff, and being better looking than you, we kinda had our gig before you. But I'm open to time share. And as I can guarantee that I dislike people more than you (my answer to everything is depopulation), I think that makes me the evil one… in a deceptive blue-eyed pretty-boy blond type of package.

Looking forward to getting my travel over and done with then I'll frequent the forum and generally sift around your place a bit more often… any chance of a chill out lounge there??

Check out http://www.keepturningleft.co.uk/ Dylan is doing what you want to do around jolly old England and is making a pound (euro) or two in the process.

Good luck on your quest.

I gotta admit he's a much better evil twin for you. No contest. Not that there was one. A bit of an odd conversation, really. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Jesse, glad you made it full-circle and reconnected!

I had a boat before, and still have the same one. The problem remains that a boat worthy of the high-latitude stuff I have planned requires somewhat of a custom build (read: lots o' cash). Anyway, that's still in the works. I'm rolling all the expedition stuff into a new site… 77Zero.org (@77Zero). Rather than wait around until I get the big bucks for a new boat, I'm putting together some microexpeditions (weeks-months length, rather than years) that will be fun and hopefully interesting… using all of the same principles I'd discussed before. I'll also be doing those on paleo nutrition, so I'll reference that expedition over here from time-to-time.

Bummer… I won't be that far north. I'm on the other side of the mountains in Oregon for Thanksgiving. Heading back to the Central/Southern Oregon Coast for a couple weeks, then back up to Portland before Christmas.

Speaking of all this stuff… If you, or anyone else reading this, knows of any paleo adventure/explorer type folks, please let me know.

100% fake paleo so far! (I'm not even going to pretend that those pies didn't have copious amounts of refined sugar, or that the whipped cream was dairy free)

True. Well… I owe it all to you and my global network of underage sweat shops that I've outsourced my writing to. It's such a pain to get ESL ghostwriters to quit with the self-indulgent prose!

I know, right? I think Macs were the last stone age tool, and I kicked that habit in the 90s.

Oh, if it's a contest, you can have him. I mainly didn't want him to feel like it was just him and the kakapos out there all alone.
