so it looks as if i'm heading out climbing tomorrow for the first time in months. apparently a whole group is going.
i'm oddly not looking forward to it. i'd rather work (paint, draw, etc), but I guess I need to get out there just to know what it feels like again.
first time out with the right brain. should be interesting.

It's strange how unimportant/inspiring/interesting other things can seem once an alternate rhythm is established. I've started catching up on films and hanging out with nonclimbing friends now that I'm committed to at least another two weeks off and I'm starting to realize I really missed them both.
Out of sight = Out of Mind and all that, I suppose. It's hard not to get sucked in and tunnel visioned though. I think that is just how most of us are wired.

Anyway, we'll see how I feel about it.

We need to rent a storage pod for our belongings, be fully moved out by oct 4, and find a 6 month rental to get us through the winter and into extended road tripping weather.
Bryan, our Cannon plans will be unaffected. Bring empty cardboard boxes if you have them.

Sew 1st the bad news. In 4-6 months 1 out of 3 peeps r going to be canned. Apparrently no voluntary incentives offered. Might not want to spend too much time on the knob while at work till all that shakes out. Seriously though, thats a tough position to be in. I hope it all works out well. no more pt and pc++? ouch thats going to hurt. In related news. My boss wants me to go to CO for some training. Which is good news, still wants me on his team. I just got back from CO for a conference. Turn around and go back in a couple weeks. Cool, where in CO? Time for climbing? Maybe, I have one free day, Sat after class. Which Sat? OK, lets try this again. crashed the knob last time I tryed to reply to this post. I will be in Montrose CO, Sept 10-16. I will be free Sat the 15th, and I have wheels. I would love to climb out there, but will be limited to shoes, harness, and belay device. Maybe a PAS or something else small and light. I have a late afternoon flight out of Grand Junction, so can hang late on Sat for the climbing. Now the question arises, Sammy, how is it, you are listed as being in CO? Last I recall you where making vegi sammies for NA in Virginia. Actually, that doesn't really mater. But I will take any info on Climbing in the area that anyone might have. She just used me to get some outdoor experience and them bounced.

I'm heading up to teh sierras for who knows what... with a brief stop over to take some pics for a calendar Speaking of pics, don't you owe use pics of your rig? or did I miss them? Speaking of long weekends. Looks like our trip to Big Bear is a bust. Wife's freind cancled the cabin. Of the coincedent climbing in the area with freinds, and freinds of freinds. The freinds cannot make it cause one of the freinds is getting married and the rest of the freinds are at the wedding. Actually they all were classmates. So what to do? Curse the institution of marriage for ruining your climbing plans/partners. Thats what I do anyway.
We had a casual weekend. Went to the beach on Sat. REI on Sun. Not much on Mon. Just nice. Would have been cool to get out of town, but we had been burning the candle on both ends so was cool to just relax. Did get a bunch of paper worked cleaned out of the home office. next week they are having a local shreading party, and we're getting rid of some old paperwork.

But I'm a lot more open to other opportunities right now than two weeks ago. Now 18 months ago, I was really interested in a move, but they gave me a new job here that has been interesting. I don't think I'm on anyone's short list for canning, but the list is a lot longer than anyone might have guessed. So it has been interesting. To say the least. We have been discussing what we would do if canned. Most common answer is, I don't know. But for a couple of us, its hit the road. One guy wants to get a sprinter van and go to Yosemite. I told hime I'd join him for a couple weeks. Then there is my other partner, who got canned for taking his lunch too late at Target. He still is looking for work, he's sheet metal by trade. He be another one the climb with. Other than, hopefully he's got work and I'm not canned by then. You could move to VA. We've got like 5% unemployment right now. Only bad part is, you'd be living in VA.
