Kind of hard to have the rabbits eat nonexistant veggies, so it is kind of a mute accomplishment.

We're thinking of taking a long weekend and heading out there sometime this winter, especially if we can find some people to join us. There's also ice in QC closer to the US border (I'd have to look it up in the guide book though). 8ish... How about the daks? That's aboot five for me... 7 or 8 for me I think. But unless Nathan's immigration stuff goes through I'd have to find someone else to head there with (and no, there's no way I'd go with Brent). After the first or second week of feb, i can take from weds evening to sunday one week... (why not brent... you might be able to rend him from the grasp of the succubus) (because I don't really trust him from a safety stand point, especially with ice climbing. He's a flake) (why are you whispering? We can all hear you.) {doc didn't you see the pics???} (pssst ---- Gri Gri)

That was the morning of the blizzard. Rebecca was a ways behind me anyway. It's always best to bring a camera anyway. that would have been an awesome shot "and here's my husband breaking trail but actually abandoning me to die alone in the wilderness...."
It wasn't the wilderness, it was a farmer's field. Besides, I had a set of car keys anyway.

I howled I have a sick desire to try fruitcake.
Its actually pretty good. My aunt makes a good fruitcake, but they're pricey to make so she doesn't give too many away.

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.
Opps, completely changing my post 'cause I was thinking of a different book. Self Coached Climber is pretty good, I just got to apply more of the stuff from there.

Problem is that there's not really enough snow out in S.Ontario to make snowshoes really worthwhile. We got a Yakima car rack, a kitchen radio that we have to return (got one for my b-day). 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. There is never enough snow that they would be worthwhile. You reminded me of another present I got. I got a subscription to rock and ice. I guess you could say that is climbing related. It is all good. I needed/wanted the other stuff more. I don't NEED the gear right now.
pfft, need. You have much to learn about climbing.

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. You went out with Brent? Somehow that seems very familiar.

I had a nice Cannon SLR with a couple of zoom lenses, but I stopped carrying it 'cause it was too big. I like my Cannon digital, fairly small, decent zoom , I actually bring it when I'm out doing things. Biggest problem is not the zoom, but that it's nor very wide. But what I has is starting to get old. New point and shoot digi cams can be much better for wider images. I'm not an expert by any means, but I know a little about cameras. I'm looking forward to seeing yours. She can be the new photo girl. I'll need someone to take pictures of me for the magazines. *huge eye roll* Oh come on, I'm sure you will do okay with that big fancy camera, if in fact you ever take it out climbing. When you are doing the photo shoots you will be to busy snapping photos to be climbing so it really won't be taking your camera out climbing. As the photog you will get to keep the money you get from the magazines. I get the publicity and sponsorships. I would rather be climbing than taking photos. Nice try though What do you know. fuck of a lot more than you
