You know Chocolate, if you just re-arranged your exact
words a little you could add quite a bit of interest

I've finally added a bit of weight to my pack. Here's
the story...

The first time I went backpacking with Datto, I
snickered as he pulled out a little Z-Rest sit pad. As
I continued to smirk, he shoved it in my direction and
said some variation of "sit on it." Okay.
<Aahhhhh....> (I am not blessed with good cushioning
under my sit bones.) I tried hard to avoid temptation,
but ended up with one of 'em anyhow. And it proved to
be a keeper on my hike before The Gathering. Besides
comfort, which we're not supposed to think about, it
kept me warm when sitting on shelter floors or the
ground. At night, I folded it in half, and it worked
well to augment my feeble pillow. (I was wearing most
of my clothes by that time.) So my base pack weight is
now 16#3oz. Can the cribbage board be far off?...
