Sounds like a good haul, I bet the roof rack will come in handy I got another ghey sweater. We really could have used a box for the rack to haul stuff back. perfect you will be able to wear it at next years xmas party. At least it wasn't fruit cake. Funny story my friend told me tonight. He is at the inlaws and they take turns opening presents. His wife opens perfume, kids get some cool video games he gets a fruitcake. Round 2 more cool stuff for the family he gets another fruit cake. This happened 4 times. He comes out with 4 fruitcakes! Said it was like charlie brown on halloween with the rock!! I howled I have a sick desire to try fruitcake.

It gave us some weird results for the route from here to St.Anne. It said one way was quiet a bit further, but starting at a different spot it gave a different answer for the time. It ends up being pretty much the same either way we go. I think. Every time I use google or yahoo to map something the time is usually longer than my actual driving time. Perhaps they take into account the posted maximum speed limit and calculate times that way?
small roads that are only named 25 mph
state roads 35 mph
highways 55 mph
so, they don't take into account places where you have tons of stoplights or where you have good speed limits on small roads.

So no go on the Art keeping it going. I think he meant my turn to fall behind and have lots to read upon return. yes

Pretty stoked. thats awesome doc. Have fun with it and can't wait to hear back.... i need to know what to expect in Jan You can expect burning forearms and cold. I'm not so sure I am going to like that. I dont mind burning forearms but I hate being cold layers and waterproof will be important words for you. You will enjoy it. Especially the first trip out. There is a lot of sitting around and chilling in the snow if you are top roping. (Same as top roping rock) You must climb with n00bs. indeed ...that one trip out with 2 sets of boots and one set of tools was with a relative noob. The one 'experienced' ice climber had led probably only about 10 routes. I couldn't see that trip as a multipitch trip...we were having to swap too many things.

Hope you fools didn't go out shopping!! See the below post. Also got some more socks and a pair of baselayer pants. got a DVD player (we had none) and a kitchenaid mixer with a ton of attachments. Today, we will be going to the store to buy a cabinet to provide the counter space for the mixer and storage space to expand on the available room in the kitchen. The only climbing present I got at all was the training book by Dan Hague and another. The name is eluding me now, and I am too lazy to get up.
the book is self coached climber. I can't believe I forgot.
Anyways, we had to return the DVD player yesterday. Our TV is 26 years old. It is so old that it can't choose its own channels. So, the vcr or dvd player needs a tuner. When we were returning the TV, we decided to get a TV with a DVD included. We spent WAY more on ourselves this year then we should have.
Today, we will be rearranging our furniture with the new TV and cabinet. We may end up having to return the TV at this point though. The audio output isn't working with my receiver. (The output is digital, and I need the analog red and white output. I will probably have to read a little on the interweb and go to radio shack.)

Nathan got me an ice screw, some climbing holds and a nice little water colour of Halifax (which was really sweet of him). for some reason TONS of yuppies around here get them.
