News:
Spikeddem will be returning to work tomorrow. I received a call over the weekend saying that I will be kept on, on a month-by-month basis until the end of the year. This is good news. Now I will continue to have monies.

Skim slower!
Alternately, see bold^^

Monies is good. Important even.
This probably means no NRG next month though. Eh?

Looking to see what works best for you guys and at which location on which dates. Well a freeish trip to the Dominican Republic fell in my lap last week and I fly out on 10/26 and come back on 11/01 so, yeah. I can still make it though. If you hit the New first I will just come out on the first weekend you are there (shooting to stay for 4+ days) and if you hit the RRG first then I will try and catch you at the New after the trip. Just keep us up to speed and we will sort it out. OK, so we have Joel as 50-50 for either location Brian NRG early or NRG late John ? Weasly went MIA about the same time you left for your trip. Weasly has been doing schoolwork and school related activities from before sun up till sundown almost every day. He is even too busy for PCing his ++. Suspected as much. Same shit happens to me at work sometimes, that shit comes in waves. I am afraid this wave is lasting the entire semester. The bright spot is that I have Fridays off and people to climb with on the those Fridays. Do you work weekends? Nope. Hmmmm, is your profile current? Still in Athens? Can you do Looking Glass or Rumbling Bald? I can do both, but Rumbling Bald is more of a winter destination. Weasly, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful granite friendship... That sounds so gneiss. Yes, yes it does. I've all but resigned myself to selling my truck at this point so hopefully I will be able to go that far without breaking the bank here shortly. And I think you're right. If memory serves, the picture I saw of shredded wheat had that distinct horizontal striping. Definitely Gneiss. Shredded Wheat is ridiculous. Best crack ever? Maybe.
It looks cherry, thats for sure.
Probably gonna be a 3 hang though...

Just got back from The Town.
It was well put together and Affleck has a knack for creating an authentic look and feel in his characters and sets but the script was kind of weak. All the flaws were in the broad strokes of the plot but the details and dialogue were smart and well put together. The acting was good all around. The gun fights needed some work but they are difficult to shoot and hardly ever done well.
Worth watching for everyone. If you're a genre fan, go see it in the theater. If you're not, wait for DVD.

She just became the first asian woman to do the seven summits and ski both poles. can't wait to hear more about it enroute. Nice! Its been way to long since I've been up to the North Conway area to climb. I've been there a fair amount being from New England, but it generally bores me. We're going because it is two hours for each of us. any other location would be more than that on either side for one of us. Understandable, North Conway for me means close proximity to Huntington Ravine, and Cannon. Probly my two favorite spots in NH... Cathedral's not bad, though always crowded. Whitehorse is a bit scary...
never made it to cannon this year, and I've never been to huntington ravine because I don't do the winter thing, so not having been to the latter isn't surprising, but I should have made one trip to cannon this year; I usually make two.

Not many I think. I guess this was a goal of hers. she just came down off everest a couple of months ago and has been spending a lot of time doing the radio / TV circuit in China. Just got back to the US a few weeks ago I guess. I'm actually more curious about what she's got next for a goal.
Her next goal will be to try not to tie you off after hour two of your first lead of the day and head home...
