I can swap with loyerette when I go climbing. Only issue is my current shitbox runs great. I'm kinda tempted, too. The trouble is, what I really like doing with my car is going on climbing trips. I mean, what's the point of having a fuel-efficient car when you can't use it for the times you really need to drive a lot. Driving around town really doesn't add up to much mileage - Allison and I can keep using her car for that. Just not that much that excites me in the cars available now. Most interesting thing is the Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid, which won't be available in the US until (maybe) next year, though it's been out in Japan and Europe for several years already. GO Yeah, since I have only one car, I need one that can handle climbing trips. The balance between big-enough-to-sleep/carpool, high-clearance 4wd, and good gas mileage is hard to find. It seems that half of the places at the Red now require that high clearance/4wd shit. Hopefully Subie will keep on keeping on. For a while, at least. You should look at your clown car options. I can't quite manage to pull the klown car option... don't have the right appearance for it. It requires a certain... presence. From wut I hear teh Klown car wood be just yore size.
I think you've got klown car mixed up with the smart car.

She ran some more tests and told me that (unofficially) there didn't seem like there was a fracture. Score!! She also said that the pain in the front of my ankle and lack of mobility was likely more from swelling than from a bad tear. Now, I still have a pretty bad sprain and staying off it for a week was certainly not a bad idea, but what she told me was very very good news!
woo!

much cheaper.
of course, much like a computer, ptftws can be taken away as well.

Keep me posted, I could be persuaded to make bad decisions and good pie. We're leaving Wed morning in a Prious that will be cramped, but over $400 less in gas money than my Taco de la Plata. Two options: 1) bust south to Hueco Tanks. I'm really not too psyched on boulderingz at the moment, but it will be warmer, and that route has way more options for easy bivies and climbing along the way– HP40, Enchanted Rock, that sort of thang. B) Do I-40 West, bivy/climb in Arkie, either HCR (more fun) or Mt. Magazine (right off the freeway), climb/bivy at the Wichitas in Okie, then easy days drive from their to the Creek. Third) Just run the standard I-70 gauntlet. Colder, no climbing and pain in the ass bivies the whole way, possibility of bad weather over the Rockies, but quickest route to the Creek. We'll see. Either way, we want to make it to EPC North by like a week from Monday or so. There is also the possiblity of doing some stuff in noiZ; hey Trashie, any chance of crashing/ cuyting your rope?
Sigh... I wish I were in shape for noiZ. That was so much fun.
Keep in touch, I'm sure I'll see you guys.

Yeah, that's what I'm planning. My partner for RR is flying back on the 23; from then until the 30 is still open for anything, although I think the Mandersons will be around sometime then.

I dated a girl that wanted to put up her own root and after she was done she nevar wanted to do it again. Too much werk she said. Nevar really met too many women climbers with teh desire to establish roots. Just a misogynistic gender thing I guess? Knot that there's anything wrong with that...
