[pct-l] digital scales!

 I wear size 16 shoes, and if i don't get them direct from the factory, I 
often find good deals in the outlet malls.

Just had to put a plug in for digital scales here. I went and picked up the 
cheepest 5lb digital scale I could find at Staples today for about 30 
dollars. Then I went through every little thing in my pack and weighed it 
out, definitely some surprises. Well over half a pound of containers and 
stuff sacks! And not that it was too much of a surprise, but those damn size 
17 shoes, hahaha, almost two and a half pounds of newbalance (but can you 
believe it, I got them for 20 bucks at Ross, I went there and they had a 
million size huge newbalances, what the hell, I can't even find these at 
normal stores?!?!?! Oh yeah, Diane, goto Ross, you might get lucky!). I was 
able to get rid of about 2 pounds just of junk that I didn't realize was 
weighing me down. It's not even about pinching 10ths of ounces (although you 
can if you want to get crazy), it's about actually realizing what you are 
carying. It's just smart, it helps you to be smart. Alright,
 I'll leave it at that. Good luck with your preparations and get a little 
cheepo scale!Lenny
