I have this musical ritual I do every summer as soon the snow thaw out and continue with it almost every two weeks until snow comes again.
I buy a 6-pack cans of beer, put them in my backpack. I choose a selection of music CD (I don't have an mp3 player yet) and put it in my backpack too.
Then I grab my CD player and a beer and go walk somewhere, most of the times in forest to have some peace and find myself alone with music, alcohol and nature.
Normally I have the time to listen to approximately 3 cd while drinking my 6 beers. And it's about 3 hours walk, but I sometimes stop and sit when I find a beautiful sight.
I really enjoy it, it's my way to give music a complete place in my mind, far from any other distractions. (because listening music while doing the cleaning of the house is not the best way to really concentrate on it and enjoy it)
To be sure I have the peace I am searching for, I use canouflage so police don't bother me.
What is canouflage? The see the answer in this link:

They work well and are reusable, but they don't fit perfectly in the top of the can because of the curve. If someone is close, he can see it but at first sight they don't notice.
The only problem with this summer activity is that it doesn't help loosing weight to drink beer while walking. But that's the only drawback!!
