   of a 2500 foot peak. Which I do almost every day when I can.

   No, I am not spending $100+ at one of the local drug stores.

   The whole testing process seems like a pain in the ass, especially without a   
   car. Kinda ready to say fuck it but also I am getting hungry and running out   
   of food.   
      
   Once upon a time AFCA would be all over this
