That was the intention, but first climb we thought was a 5.9 turned out to be a 5.11c. Got the first few bolts and kept wondering why I kept couldn't make any moves on the warmup.
Fucking rap-in hanging belays make for a lot of jugging.
After that I smoked a lot of weed and drank whiskey chased with water

I hope this is only metaphorical. And you might want to make sure he isn't hungover, just to be safe on that point.

There was not that much bacon. There was, in my opinion, a moderate amount of bacon.

I also found out that the easiest, most mess-free way to cook bacon is to put it in the oven (on 375 degrees F) on a cookie sheet on several sheets of foil, flipping it once. Then when it's done, pull it off onto a plate with some paper napkins to soak up the excess grease. Later on you can just throw away the foil with the cooled grease and the napkins . . . minimal cleanup ftw!

This theory is nice until you want to cook 3+ lbs of bacon... Then your cookie trays risk over-flowing and massive grease fires.
This is when I switch to cake-pan in the bbq

This weekend we had Pinewood Derby with the boys cubscouts. Saturday.
The $100 car won again. Would be nice if the rule was take the basic $4 kit and race it.
My younger boy made another cool design. With some help from me.
My older boy again made an interesting design. He got only min help from me. So his was a little rough around the edges.
Sunday saw Battleship. Pretty cool. If you dig the us verses them aliens Independence Day type flicks.
What was cool was how they did "Hey thats how you play Battleship". Didn't realize it until a little later in the movie. Pretty clever.

I did one of those school ... they ran on a line running through an eye hook... mine went so fast that it hit the end, broke the line, went through the fence, through the bike racks and into the classroom wall...
in high school I tried for a repeat performance when my cardboard rocket blew up shortly after launch...

i'd think he'd provide some good advice on the place, especially the pubs with the best beer / food / bacon.

Forgot to mention before that I tried to assassinate myself this weekend. While cleaning draws from the last route of the day, I loosed a shower of acorn to golfball sized rocks on to my belayer. Thankfully she was fleet footed and avoided being hit, while maintaining the belay.
