outdoor campingI get a call from a friend this morning who asks if I have any weekend plans. Being Monday and generally not planning activities this far ahead I respond hesitantly with no. He then pitches me the idea of getting some people together for outdoor camping in a desert spot about two hours away. It sounds like a great idea as long as I can get work off. My other dilemma is none of my outdoor camping supplies is in the apartment. My tent is still back home in the parent’s garage and the sleeping bag I did have is in the trash after a roommate took it on a houseboat where for whatever reason was infested with ants. My theory is he accidently left the sleeping bag open during the day maybe with crumbs in it that attracted the critters.

I wasn’t mad at him at the time because he came back with a face rash from whatever it really was in the sleeping bag. Anyway, camping this week means I’d have to find outdoor camping supplies online today or at the latest tomorrow. Quite a lot of work ahead of me.
