Today I am going to the Outdoor sportsman’s show. I will be able to get my walking in without a problem. I’m looking for some trekking poles as well as some hiking shoes and other items for my long hike this summer. I’m taking my daughter and a couple of her friends with me. Their guy shopping. <laughing> Of course, they say they have to go with me for protection. Yeah, right! I’ll be lucking to see them once we get there until it’s time to leave.

Later, my husband and I are going out for a nice dinner. The few times I have eaten out I have had no problems in keeping within my carb limits. The people are extremely willing to fix the food the way I need it. I called ahead and already placed our orders. I’m having steamed lobster with a green salad and some vegetables and herbal tea, decaf.

Orang - Here is the backpack I've made for my trip this summer. http://www.gvpgear.com/make_your_own.asp

Here is the link to the Tent/tarp I also made. I studied his design and made my own.

I have an industrial sewing machine that works wonders for medium to heavy material. It also cuts the cost more than half.

Have a great day everyone.
