The Sarge hasn't run in a week. There were two skipped runs last week that miles need made up on. A 10k and a 5k (9.3 miles, total, missed) As such, tonight's 10k will insted be a 10-miler, making up 3.8 of the missed miles. Easy Peasy

Sounds like a good reason to smoke [1] Lotsa folks are gonna have to move in the next century or two. No - really - something like half the world's populations live within 100 miles of ocean coast lines. [2] Easy Peasy FOOTNOTES: [1] Not Really. [2] The Sarge is safe. The SargeStead sits on a plot of land that is at 859 feet of elevation. See levels would have to rise 200 meters higher than present for Sarge and family to have to move.

The Sarge thinks he's gonna cry like a baby when they can no longer be patched, sewn, repaired, mended, fixed ... It will be a sad day for Sarge when The Magic Pants are retired from active duty. Easy Peasy

The Pants (and The Hat) are required uniform for outdoor adventure with The Sarge. It wouldn't be the same without 'em. Easy Peasy

The Pants showcasing The Gut (The Sarge was heavier as a smoker. He lost 36 pounds after quitting) Taking a standing break somewhere up the Muir Trail in the Sierra Nevada Mountains Hiking is much easier (and peasier) without The Gut. Easy Peasy

The Pants Hardening The F_ck Up an overlook above Yosemite Valley Aaaaannnnd The Pants taking a break because Sarge's Ass was SPANKED hiking up there (he was a heavy smoker in those years) Easy Peasy

Perfect. ^^^ 10 out of 10 : would wear! Easy Peasy

The Pants (in shorts mode) just chillin' on some random, un-named trail in Arizona. Easy Peasy

Unknown (precarious) location - but you can just make out The Shorts and The Hardening it took to cross that wall. Easy Peasy

A Harden The F_ck Up hike from The Colorado River up to the Tonto Plateau and out across the Plateau to the Plateau Point overlook with The Magic Pants

Taking it easy (in The Shorts mode - it was 117 degrees down there that day) and dipping into the Colorado River at the bottom of the Grand Canyon - those dogs were barking after a 14-miler down the North side of the Canyon ... and really weren't looking forward to the next two days of uphill.

16:20. That's ... uhhh ... Military/Sarge time for 4:20, right? Easy Peasy

The Pants in iminent, grave, and mortal danger somewhere in the Kaibob. That was looong ago - some time pre-patches (which would put it pre 2005-ish... sorta ... maybe ... ???)

Hardening The F_ck Up with The Pants after a COOOOOOOOLLLLLLD overnighter (had to scrape the ice off the inside of the tent - who knew? Ice in deserts ...) somewhere back-country in the Pinto Basin. That was a hard, hard night. You can see it in The Sarge's face. Easy Peasy

The Pants @ The J-Tree Easy Peasy

Hardening The F_ck Up in the Colorado Desert with The Pants

The Ryan Mountain summit marker with The Magic Pants Easy Peasy

Hardening The F_ck Up in The Mojave Hard to see burried under all that gear, but look just above the black kneepad and you'll see the rolled-up purple Magic Pants. Easy Peasy

The Pants (in "shorts mode" - the legs zip off and convert The Pants into The Shorts) on some random wall at some random crag in Muir Valley Easy Peasy
