Sooooo much to do in the coming months. Already things are stacking up:
- The Camp Shelby Gravel Grinder is back! Even better, the 50 miler option starts at 9am. Last year's 7am start knocked it out of consideration altogether. The date this year is January 25th, more details at this link.
- Starting the same day and stretching into the next is Winter Field Day, the cool weather outdoor ham operating event. This is a slight conflict, but I'm sure something can be resolved.
- Deer season ends in two weeks (Jan 16), and the following weekend is the MLK 3-day'er (Jan. 19-21). The trails are waiting, calling to me. Probably opt for the ride first weekend out, plan on hiking after that. Biking has priority.
- Carnival season starts... day after tomorrow? Yeah, looks like. Then Mardi Gras itself isn't until March 5th, so we have a decently long season this year. No firm plans yet, but something is bound to happen.
- In related news, here's the latest in king cakes this year, sent in by a devoted reader.
Yeah, that's a full plate for me, and that's just the local stuff. In the downtime there are trips to FL planned and at least one hike over in AL that may be happening. Stay tuned for pictures – and maybe breaking news from medical professionals.
ps: The Darling Daughter couldn't stand the though of me slumming it any longer with the default blogspot-B favicon, so she cobbled up something more suitable. Dresses up the place a little. She shall be rewarded with coffee.
