Chips Ahoy - The Hold Steady

My phone came today. SE K800i. This is me getting angry on the phone.


Found out that I can not get the Eagle Creek backpack I wanted. D'oh!.

And today was most likely my last shift at Target. YES!. Awesome I think. I hated working in that place.

Such Great Heights - The Postal Service.

Today I looked at Black Wolf backpacks. They seamed to be good for there price. They were much cheaper than the Eagle Creek and High Sierra packs.

I also got a Snorkel and Air Bed. They are not for my trip to Japan. They are for Australia Day. My family and i are going camping yeah.

Will look at medical kits tomorrow and hopefully here back about getting the Eagle Creek pack I inquired about.

Sail Away - David Gray

Never knew how hard it would be to find a decent travel pack.

Have narrowed my search to two different packs. The Eagle Creek Voyage 65L.



Or the High Sierra AT3 SIERRA-LITE




Both different. Need to workout what I need more. Be able to use the bag as a backpack or wheel the bag.

Also need to acquire a medical kit.

Things to do for Monday:

Medical kit
Snorkel gear (for Australia Day)
Bank Money
Findout who has a passport among my friends.

This is the desk top i am currently using on my MacBook. I love this computer. Can you tell.

I will try to update this place once a week. More if possible.

I need a good backpack one with decent storage and is strong. I hope to find one with a detachable day-pack. My price range is is around $300. Give or take.\


:edit:

I have found a nice backpack with day-pack. Now to find an Australian stockiest. By the way it is a Eagle Creek Journey and is 65L.

I Should start by introducing myself.
