Updated Windows on my laptop last night, and now all the menus and messages are in German this morning. Ach du lieber! Am learning German so I tried to just install spellchecking for it, but got more than I expected... I may have to find a German speaking computer geek to undo this.

My hike with DD and 5 y.o. DGD got cancelled yesterday---DD called last minute and said older GD had head-lice that needed treatment. Turned out to be blackfly bites, fortunately. Made some more dried meals yesterday. I do one serving per ziploc bag. Planning to stock up for camping trips. Meal planning is easier. I usually put each day's meals plus snacks in one larger bag for the day. Longest trip has been ten days, but I know folks who have done 20, 30, even 45-day canoe trips in the Canadian North. I am limited by having to carry 25 lb lead batteries for CPAP, one for each day. Brought a generator to recharge on the 10 day trip.

Chilly today. Will get in a hike this morning, then do some stuff at home. Weight still just holding steady... haven't been tracking much lately, but it's good to be getting into a rhythm of regular exercise.

Aufwedersehen.

The heavy marine batteries are why I got into canoe camping; only way I can go anywhere away from the car. Still a pain, and slows me down, but at least I can get into the wilderness a bit.
