"going to bars for breakfast" - May 24

The German fellow was up early and idol lowed suit. The nights have been chilly. Not tooth chattering cold but uncomfortably cold. And I've had my longies on my down jacket socks and the bag liner in my 45 deg. Bag. I just didn't want to lay there in the cold I got up too. It's hard transitioning from long johns to hiking clothes. But if you just do it and get on the trail everything warms up quickly. I'm less inclined to slow down and prepare a breakfast. My strategy is to get on the trail and stop once everything is warmed up and stretched out. I get outer amp by 0700 and make it to Trents for two eggs and sausage breakfast. I'm the only hiker there for a few minutes and I get to use the rest room with the out of order sign on it. I pick up my box and spread out on the grass to figure out what I can carry. I'm already carrying 4 days of excess food because that's how far ahead of schedule I am. I give away some of the break fasts I had mixed up because I am seriously considering going to bars for breakfast and a bag of tortillas. I haven't finished the bag I've got. I get everything packed up and it feels like my pack is about 6 pounds heavier.
