mi. 0sleep beddest. Dalton Day 64 Well zero numer 4. Someone told me once that you never regret a zero day. How true. Today was the first one since Monson early on that I didn't waste energy walking all over the place. The only walking I did was .5 or so to the PO and back. I walked down with Catz. He is headed out today. I'll catch up with him again at some some point. At the PO I picked up a new tin whistle curousticy of my hiking friend back home Doctari. Thanks again. I have been wanting to play that for awhile. Rob headed out with Runway, Adam, Peter, and Moose for their slack pack. I could have went, but I had to get some errands done. When he got back Rob was nice enough to drive me around. We hit up the EMS. I was hoping to get different shoes, replace my bladder, and fix my trekking poles. All I could do at the EMS is replace out my water bladder. They do not carry Leki poles, so no luck there. I am going to have to call them and have them ship a replacement part to me. I tried on one shoe, but the guy working there didn't want to help me much after I said I have a wide foot. That seems like the posien word to a outfitter on shoes. So off to Dicks Sporting Goods we went. Funny thing is I found something that I hope will work. I asked the girl working there if she knew anything about shoes, to which she replied not a thing. What can I say but I apresheate her honesty. After working sales, I can understand where she was coming from. I found a pair of size 13 Montrails that fit pretty good. They have no goretex, which is really nice. They are a trail runner style. They have a lot of mest to allow the water to pass through and for them to dry out. The interesting thing they have is an elastic drawcord with a cord lock inplace of the laces. Those make it easier to take the shoes on and off. I am not sure how they are going to work out, so I am planning on packing out a set of laces incase they don't work out. After that and lunch I got back around noon. I didn't get a chance to resupply. So i decided to zero. The rest of the afternoon was filled with rest and movies. After everyone got back, we headed out for buffet number 2. It was a Brazilain buffet. Can't say I had that before. I couldn't identify most of the food. It tasted good though. Reminded in a lot of a chinese buffet. I will have to say they should have proof read their drink menu. You can get an alabama slammer is "Southern Confort" or a Martini with "Dry Vermont". There were a few more I can't remember now. I realize my spelling sucks. But if it is for something important, than I would spell check it. Rob's band was supposed to play there later tonight. While we ate a decent jazz band was playing. It seemed more of a long jam session, but it fit the bill. It turned out that his band did not play. When i was time for tem t setup n one was i the resturant. It was only around 10pm. He said they never played here before. They canned i since n one was there. On the ride home everyone was talking about the omlete change. A 12 egg omlete with lots of chz, veggies, toast, and home fries. If you eat it in 30 minutes you get a shirt. Rob liked to talk it up. Adam, Peter, and I all seem up to it. It is going to hurt, but it's all good. We'll see how tomorrow goes.
