I love camping. My longest camping trip was around Iceland, 10 days. Despite the temperatures, wind and the freezing rain I slept better in my little tent than in my bed at home, no joke. Same when I camp on my mountain trips above 3000 meters altitude. I'm made for the outdoors.Though having a good tent plays a big role, I spent 350 bucks on my tent and 450 on my sleeping bag. You really shouldn't go cheap on these two items. I love camping on the mountains. And here is the heavier, bigger tent I use for long easy tours where weight/size doesn't play a huge role like it does on mountain climbing trips. It did a wonderful job in Iceland.

Since the patch some strange things are happening in fights. I'm rolling a level 22 Qunari knight enchanter on hard difficulty, last two times I fought some random packs of shadow wolves my Qunari mage with full barriers, 220 armor and health got insta-killed by strange explosions. I thought this was a bug but now it happened again during the fight against the red lyrium dragon at the end. When fighting the dragon, out of a sudden, some strange sounding explosion happen which outright kill (knock out) Cassandra with full barriers, health and guard and my mage also with full barriers and health. What is this? Some kind of random death ray? That never happened in my first play through.

This is beautiful.

Painted easter eggs with my motorized LEGO egg spinner contraption. I used to hate painting easter eggs, but its so easy now that I like it.

Unreal Tournament 1999, 10 minutes deathmatch against Inhuman bots at DM-Turbine. What a blast!

Wehrmacht Sniper training video. Don't disregard the video just because its old and it was made by the Wehrmacht, it features tons of clever tips that build the foundation of modern sniper craft. There a couple of dumb ones too, like the sniper position in the tree (very bad idea) but 90% of the vid is really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB9vn1-58zw

Brought my bicycle to the repair shop for a complete overhaul. It gets a brand new high quality chain because after 5000 kilometers -half the distance uphill- the old one is a bit out of spec (it held up well though!), the gear assembly will be checked, it gets new rear brake shoes (the old ones are fried), an entire new front brake assembly, new slicks with new tubes, new bearings, also all the critical parts will be checked for damage. So its basically going to be 40% new. I'll do the adjustments, lubing and the fine tuning. Can't wait to jump on my old overhauled warhorse to climb some awfully steep seemingly never ending mountain roads. Its strange to miss that kind of pain so much, my legs get uneasy and my blood pressure climbs just from thinking about hard uphill cycling.

Drowsy me slipped and crashed into a barbell. If the swelling on my knee gets any bigger I'll have to give it a name lol.

Thank you!

Can't beat the feel of an all-steel pistol. I love CZ firearms, they are well made. Speaking of CZ, I gave the rather dull stock of my CZ452 a new finish, now it looks and feels much better. The grain is much more visible now.

Went to the dentist to get one of my teeth fixed. Ran into troubles during the x-ray, that stupid apparatus that rotates around the head to make an pic of the jaw repeatedly slammed into my traps (neck muscles) and jammed. To give it enough clearance I had to stretch my neck almost to the point of dislocating it.

This is what Spring looks like in Austria. Its like summer, just a tad colder. *cackles*

The storm has reached Austria, 200 km/h wind gusts, 5 power outages already, stuff flying all over the place. I'm, actually tempted to hop on my bicycle just to find out how long I can battle the wind, though I hate the idea of getting decapitated by flying debris and branches.

Bought Magic The Gathering cards for 40 bucks. Can't wait for the fresh reinforcements to arrive, they're direly needed because of the ever increasing arms race among my Magic The Gathering playing friends. Need to stay atop the heap.

I thought it was pretty much the general opinion that Prometheus was a turd.

Spent the day on the shooting range, all my handloads turned out extremely accurate. Talked shop with my shooting buddies. A very good day.-

Whoa, sh!t gets real from 13:40 onwards.

Have to play the Master at arms range officer tomorrow, hate it. I'd rather shoot targets than watch people shoot targets and instructing them.

Conan the destroyer. Man, I totally forgot how completely awesome Grace Jones was in that movie.

Participated in a strength contest among friends, I won in the category single arm max weight shoulder presses with 5 reps 38kg and maximum weight one repetition with 44kg. I enjoy those little contests a lot, its a welcome variety in my lifting routine which can get a little dull some times. Though I have to work on them, I know a guy who can press 50 for three reps. Thats a lot.

F'n nerds.

Something similar happened to me a couple of days ago, but with upper trapezius / neck. Couldn't lift my arm or shrug my shoulder without experiencing severe pain. Flexing, rotating and moving my arm carefully in the hot shower untangled the mess. The same day I could go bench pressing without any problems.

Same, last night was super down time for unknown reasons. Giant mistakes come back to haunt at the worst times. Heh, one thing I never fail to find is reasons for feeling down, I have a list to choose from that has a lot in common with a laser beam in vacuum: a beginning, no end and looking at it burns your eyes. Anyway, get better!

I feel really down, need to listen to uplifting tunes.

The amount of troll feeding in this thread is absolutely amazing, but not nearly as amazing as you taking him seriously.
