May 22, 200818 yr classic - 6 pack abs relaxed - 12 pack abs I'm sure its the ratio of belly size to inseam that determines which fit is right for you.
May 22, 200818 yr Per the National Supply Division the Cub are going to keep the blue uniform, at least for now. Webelos will be moving into the new uniform - however, they want the Cubs to wear the red unit numbers on the shirt to indicate a Cub.
May 22, 200818 yr Admittedly I'm totin' some 8-9 pack abs, but it is the diameter of the quadriceps and the zipper seam that is the difference maker for me. The current Switchbacks are actually a little loose in the seat and I've got PLENTY of belt left, BUT... The current Switchbacks become constrictive at the quads when I get a little muscle pump on the quads going from a strenuous stretch on a hike or if I'm bouldering with those things on. I just hope the relaxed fit addresses THAT fit.
May 22, 200818 yr Per my council shop manager, the button on the back of the right pocket was designed for an ipod or mp3 player. They were also shocked at the USB light and fan they had received labeled as camp gear. Karen
May 22, 200818 yr I may not have it exactly right, but she did state something to do with the pocket was so they could carry an mp3. Maybe I heard wrong and she was talking about the pocket on the sleeve. Karen
May 22, 200818 yr Heaven forbid that people today spend an hour without their mp3 players. That goes for kids and adults. Going to the gym used to be a social experience, "Hi, how's it going?" "Adding more weight today?" "How's that knee?" "How about da Bears?" Now, everyone is in their own world with earplugs stuffed in their ears. Last fall, I pulled into my gym's parking lot. It was raining and the car next to mine had its windows wide open. I'd have put them up but they were electric. I went into the gym, checked the locker rooms but they were empty (I called into the ladies). So I went into each of the workout rooms and bellowed, "Who has a blue Volvo? Your window are open and its raining!" No one even looked up because they had their ears plugged. Go hang out with your buds? Let's listen to different music together. Yes, I have an MP3 player but I have no idea where the earphones are.
May 23, 200818 yr I love my iPod! Listen to it during my commute to & from work. Listen to it during my lunch walk. Listen to it while I am cutting the grass. Makes mundane tasks less mundane!
May 23, 200818 yr I got one of dem XM portable radios. In the car, in the home, on a hike, on a bike, 200+ channels of commercial free music and talk. Its the nines.
May 23, 200818 yr " Makes mundane tasks less mundane!" I understand completely, I don't have an Ipod myself, but I understand how listening to music you love would help pass the time when doing something totally boring. BTW, do you think that scouts who find camping mundane should be allowed to use Ipods?
May 23, 200818 yr BTW, do you think that scouts who find camping mundane should be allowed to use Ipods? Scouts who find camping mundane should stay home!
May 23, 200818 yr Perhaps it is adults who allow a mundane camping trip to occur are the ones who should stay home
May 23, 200818 yr Oh, the plugged in generation. When I walk, I want to be aware of my surroundings. Most of the time, in my care, I have the windows open so I can hear the engine and the sounds of my tires, there's a lot of information there that the average driver misses. Same is true on a bike, either pedal or motor. On a hike, I want to hear the woods, the birds, the bees, the distant roll of thunder . . .
May 23, 200818 yr The new uniform vs the old uniform. IPod vs No IPod. Isn't it great that we can voice our opinion in this great Nation. Remember that this coming Monday is Memorial Day. If you haven't taken the time yet, go out and thank a Vet.
May 24, 200818 yr That's Veteran's Day. Memorial Day is for the guys who didn't come home. Visit the local monument and thank the guys whose names are inscribed there.
