You spent how much on what?!

That does it. I'm taking artsy macros of your climbing gear and dogs, getting them printed and then selling them back to you for a few hunnerd bucks Tongue

If I had $400 I'd spend it on mac n cheese, sweaters that aren't threadbare and some fancy new long johns, and a trained monkey to shovel my frickin' sidewalk and throw down ice melt (plays tiny violin).

Baby, I've got a couple pics you've taken on my walls already. The one at Mt. Lemmon where you caught Casey laying down behind my rack hanging from the stump, and one B/W you took of me at the Forks.

Oh, and that one from Overlook, where Casey is laying on my stomach, and we're both napping? That's the wallpaper on my 'puter.

Ron, I'm bringing Hillary next year. Going to kidnap her against her will.

She fits easily into most overhead storage bins, and could bivy under the coffee table, so space won't be a problem.

Just don't tell her. I want it to be a surprise.

Well, now I'm threatening to have Reno take me up anyway, regardless of festivals. (Flag is closer to the ice than Tucson, and he laid out how relatively cheap it could be).

Continued ego-stroking about my wit and talents might help ;)

i can't get a better picture of myself climbing than the one from the ames ice hose last year (this year i didn't even ask for my picture to be taken on ice) BUT...i will treat you at bon ton, alcohol included, if you get a killer shot of me on 'dizzy with a vision'.Cool

Dude, we missed ya. And by the way, you've got yourself a very nice lady. 100% class and style. She seems pretty smart, too, so one has to wonder why she's with you.

You're in next year, OK? No excuses. Save your pennies. Get a paper route. Put in some overtime at work. Donate sperm. Whatever. Just get there.

I keep donating, but that usually just costs me more $$ in the long run.

If I could have just gotten the gov't monkey off my back, I so would have been there.

Sad about the glasses - I managed to grab one in 07 but I know most people didn't get glass because of the shipping mix up. 900 or so of the 1500 glasses ordered were shipped to the wrong place is what i heard.

Not sure about this year, they must have realized how much money it saved serving plastic.
