SJ: Great time camping with a bunch of buddies over this holiday weekend. Smoked 4 racks of ribs, 2 pork shoulders and a whole turkey. We had enough food to probably eat for a week.
NSJ: It rained off and on the whole weekend and the first night I was walking along the riverbank looking for firewood, slipped off a rock and snapped my right big toe. Probably wont be back to normal till the end of summer.

SJ1: easy replacement of my privateer buckles
SJ2: silky smooth actuation of said buckle

Refit one shop, moved house and moved the other shop all in one week.

Glad it’s all over.
