Skiing aside, if your going to be doing winter ascents and what not, you might want to invest in one of those.

Until the earthquake aftershock dodging starts, life should pretty much be smooth sailing. slowly leaning toward staying here for the summer. I'm getting work done and saving money here, and I kinda want to climb. That and they're having problems down there still and I don't need to be adding to that. not 100% but close. I'll go down in Nov / Dec now, and that'll give me their spring, summer, and fall.
It sucks to push things back, but that might be for the best. They seem better equipped than any other country in the region to deal with a quake like that but they are obviously struggling.

It is a bit funny to watch cowboy hat after cowboy hat stroll by at the airport though. Kind of thought those things had gone extinct. It's nice to see them alive and well in their native habitat.

Ain't seen ol' Jack around these parts in awhile. Too bad, he was always good for a laugh.

Nice. I think we're taking the boys on one last boarding trip.... And after that it's probably all going to be BC on Shasta.

Oh it's on the list.
Only thing is that we just bought my AT gear, my WFR is coming up in May (another $680.00 aside from lost time at work) and now I'm talking about a three hundred dollar beeping box.

Since laz was calling out for lurking and he denided it. I did a little quick stalking. And Boom, there it was.

The weather only stopped pounding us last week.
We're going to try to go local here soon. Wife found a babysitter who's avaliable all week. Course her dad is scheduled for knee replacement Wed, so she wants to go up town Th to see him. But if we could get out early next week, that would be sweet.
