You know it's time to go hiking when...
Your total posts out number your trail miles.Don't worry I have a few thousand more posts to go!
Oh shoot I passed that a LONG time ago.
You camp in your own yard only because you cant get to a trail. (done that!)

When you spend at least an hour a day curled up in the corner, rocking back and forth, eyes glazed over and devoid of inner monlogue.
You get the scale out and check out the weight of EVERYTHING you buy.
It's a great day to be alive !

You get the scale out and check your own weight!
When you start leaning against the passenger side window looking up & picking the best lines up any hills or mountains, or ditches you pass. (Spying good campsites just beyond the fence along an interstate count here too.)
When you check steep&cheap four times or more a day to see what the latest deal is and get frustrated that the weight is not posted on that very cool long underwear on special.

When you finally decide if your going to ford or ferry.
wanting to put blazes on the backyard trees!
...... You come home from work on Friday afternoon and find 3 gallons of paint at the bottom of the stairs.
You talk about going so much that your spouse says "just go already!"
... when you seriously consider carving "IHTFP" into the fabric walls of your cubicle
