Hey Smokey,

Back from your bike trip?  Looked like great fun.
I am back from my trip. Yes, it was great fun. Scotland was by far my favorite country that we visited.

Anyone else go anywhere or do anything noteworthy this summer since we now have a whole intro page devoted to the subject?
Did you do a full euro tour? How many miles did you bike?



I started planning this DIY Alaska trip over a year ago. We went in July of this year. http://www.flickr.com/photos/28193140@N ... 809154005/

We rented boats in Whittier drove out into Prince William Sound 20 miles or so and set up camp. 7 Days of fishing and screwing around with the boat. We did pretty good fishing... we were all salt water rookies. I'm the one wearing the yellow HH rain bibs. Pay no attention to the ugly ass lipper i have in most of the pics.

Yeah, I went to the bathroom this summer...multiple times.



Does that help?

Howdy everyone,

I failed at my first two attempts to quit, but I'm on day 9 and feeling confident that I am quitting for good this time.

I've dipped Copenhagen for about 20 years. First just a dip on the weekends or when hunting with my buddies. Then after bumming got old, I started buying my own and a can would last me a week, then a few days, then I had the shit in mouth pretty much all the time I was awake and I was going through a can a day.

I live in Colorado and lots of people dip, not just the cowboys and construction workers. I used to run marathons and a bunch of the runners dipped, the ski team coaches dip, and I know professional skiers that dip. Hell, I even know some women that dip. The hardest thing now is watching my co-workers take a three finger dip while I am still craving it.

I decided to quit after my wife nagging me constantly and my dentist telling me my gums were receding and my teeth were eventually going to fall out. For a while, I would lie to my wife and only dip when she wasn't around.

I stopped for four months a few years ago, but got overconfident and while playing cards and drinking with my buddies at hunting camp bummed a dip. I thought I was over it and I could just have a dip or two while drinking with the guys. By Monday I was hooked on the shit again. This time I know I can't let my guard down and can never touch the stuff again.
