Found a spot for Friday’s hike. Wrote up a pack list so I can keep the load light. Need to print out a map and mark waypoints on the GPS. Might treat myself by bringing hotdogs to cook for lunch. Departure from home will be 4am Friday.

Had a simple day. Finished up with removing any unnecessary clothes in my wardrobe. Every season I go through all my stuff and remove anything I haven’t use for the last 3 to 6 months. My excluding other seasons. If I know I will not use it in that season, it will be removed. Spent most of the day watching TV and swimming. Tonight I will be placing goals for the remainder of the year and creating a realistic timeline tomorrow.

Started my Autumn cleaning. Cleaned out all my unwanted clothing. My first round produced two kitchen bags worth. Tomorrow I will do another pass and clear out all my electronics and cables.

Cleared off my desk and started to do research on locations to hike. A few trails are opening. My plan is to go solo hiking on Fridays in remote areas in Washington State to minimize exposure to people. I have an inReach communicator. Might turn on the beacon and let people track me on a website or twitter.

Separate egg whites and yolks into two different mixing bowls.
Yolk Bowl:
Mix in the vanilla bean paste, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg with the yolks. Slowly mix in the powered sugar. Once complete you should have a very think substance.
Egg White Bowl:
Add Cream of Tartar and whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form then set aside.
The Union:
Slowly start whipping in the fluffy egg whites in the yolk bowl. Once complete you will have a very thick and rich batter.
The Finally:
Finally it’s time to make the cocktail. Add 2 to 4 tablespoons into a mug and add a shot of spiced rum. Very slowly add hot water to the mug while stirring. The slower the better. The eggs in the batter will curdle if you go too fast.
Once the marriage has been completed you should have a beautiful foam head.
A few sips will put a smile on your face.
