Last night I watched a few You-tube videos about the trail. So much useful info out there. Much of it I had learned before. The woman in the video used baby powder in her hair to help keep it fresh. I was thinking of baking soda. I have been washing my hair with baking soda for a few weeks now, vinegar is the rinse. See this site for more info. Baking soda has a few uses and I like the idea of bringing items that can multi task. It can be used to clean dishes, deodorant (I have been using it for a few years), reducing odor in my sleeping bag as well as my shoes, teeth brushing, and as a shampoo. It can help reduce the odor in a yard where pets urinate too.
My happy for today is that I got a gift and it is useful. Back story... Last summer I was working so much I was hardly ever home and I had no time to take care of the lawn. My neighbor took it upon herself to mow the yard for me. One day we were talking about the amount of cars that they have parked all over the place. There are at least 4 licensed drivers that live there in a very small house. Apparently the moving around of vehicles had been causing some anxiety among the people living there. I offered to let her use my driveway for her car. I can fit at least 4 cars and live alone, having a car in my driveway more often than not is a good thing. It is winter now and I have had to shovel the driveway a few times and will, no doubt, have to quite a few more before the season is over. She came over to help by cleaning off the cars the last storm (her hand was broken, so no shoveling) and we got to talking. I told her what I did for a job and how much driving I do and she bought me a dash camera for my car. I don't know how I will thank her for this. Part of me thought I should just return it to her, then I realized how much more shoveling I would be doing and that she has been using the driveway for almost 6 months I think. So I am keeping it. I certainly didn't expect a gift, but it is much appreciated.
Sun setting today.
