@Verna, Ok....better question...who cares...you're camping!!!!!

Verna

Yes!  And about 4 months since I’ve been home. I could get used to camping all the time very easily

Homebodyatheart

@Verna, I guess the good news is that it's March, not summer! Another urgent question comes to mind...do they have a backup generator to keep the ice cream sandwich freezer cold? 

Verna

@Homebodyatheart, they do have a freezer in the Activities Room in the Community Bldg, but I have nothing in it.  (Ice Cream is not on my diet ;( ) The gas station and convenience store nearby must have had a backup generator for the freezers inside because they were selling ice cream at normal prices.

  Leave it to @Homebodyatheart to worry about ice cream sammiches!!!

Homebodyatheart

@ericnliz... Remember the almost shut down of state parks last July when it was so hot? Well in anticipation of a shut down the nice camp hosts (they really are very nice!)at Nine Mile had to make sure the ice cream cooler was empty. We were in to camp right after the budget was passed and they had to make a Costco run. Whew! We had ice cream bars! Disaster averted... Sort of like if you ran low on your favorite commodities.

Is that a "Beer Float"?? and EWWWWWWW!

ericnliz

'Ya just need to learn to properly "dip" the ice cream sammch in the beer!

Ratkity

OMG.. now you added ... CHOCOLATE?? *faint* Dat outta be a crime!

ericnliz

Ok, here's the question of the day.....Have you tried it????

Homebodyatheart

@ericnliz...nope. Not gonna. It's not in the manual, and yes, I read it!

ericnliz

Now wait a minute here...  @Homebodyatheart, Do you mean to tell me you'll read an ice cream sammich manual, but NOT your T@B manuals?????? Oh, boy....this is gonna be one of those start the day with campin' coffee days...I can see it comin'!!!

ScottG

I think chocolate-cookie-with-vanilla-ice-cream sammich would pair nicely with a bourbon barrel aged milk stout.

JACK FROST NEEDS TO FIND A NEW HOME!

Homebodyatheart

@ericnliz... it's still March up here in the wild Northwest. And yes, it was 30' at my house today, frosty white roofs and all. Just be grateful we aren't on the Eastern Seaboard. Those poor folks are socked in with no end in sight!

dsfdogs

@Homebodyatheart yep, snowing all day here too, but not sticking...yet...and grateful I'm not dealing with several feet of snow like last year.

Homebodyatheart

@dsfdogs last winter here was wickedly awful with more sheet ice everywhere for longer than anyone can remember. I'll take snow, but leave the ice out of it!

ericnliz

@Homebodyatheart & @dsfdogs, 'Ya just HAD to say the "S" word out loud, huh? I just looked outside to see the fluffy white stuff......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Verna

If that 5” to 8” that is happening right now back home is going to keep going, it’s going to make me put on long pants and a long sleeved t-shirt!  I’ll miss my shorts 

ericnliz

@Verna, I haven't seen a pair of shorts since late September, early October. 

2Cougs

@ericnliz- I am about ready to just put my shorts on and turn up the heat!  Those were HUGE flakes coming down this morning!

ericnliz

@2Cougs, 'Ya might wanna slip on a pair of the good ol' "long johns" under those shorts first!

ericnliz

Just saw a hummingbird with a knit cap & a scarf fly by...........

dsfdogs

Was that Liz @ericnliz? 

Homebodyatheart

@ericnliz I told Dan this morning that you were probably up muttering up a storm of nonrepeatable words....it’s warming up a bit and starting to melt off the trees a bit here, if you can call 34’ a warming trend...

ericnliz

@dsfdogs, I'm thinkin' probably one of her messengers.....if it was Liz, she'd have had a LOT more clothing/protection on than a beanie & a scarf! Liz hated the cold, & once she GOT cold, it took her forever to warm up again. I'd walk around the house in a T-shirt, & she'd have insulated jeans, a sweatshirt & at LEAST one blanket wrapped around her & still be cold!
@Homebodyatheart, You KNOW this was your fault for sayin' the "S" word out loud, right? I said an "S" word, but it had NOTHING to do with the fluffy white stuff. (Oh, and it was more than casual muttering!  )
Warming trend schwarming trend.
