Drove up on Friday. No sleep... no sleep. Well, if you count a power-nap in the parking lot outside the visitor's center, then give me 2 hours. Went in to get the permit for our hike and the rangers were all huffy about a flash flood watch for the area. Ended up backing out of the Narrows, but the weather held. It fucking held great all day. I'm pissed. Hiked up from the bottom, and still got a good view. Woke up early the next day and did some climbing before it got hot and made it up Angel's Landing.
Going back in October to finish what we went there for in the first place. Also... climbing.
1,100 + miles driven.
Vegas traffic sucked a giant cock this weekend.

is it considered a waste of money if you buy a camera and never use the objects that end up inside of the camera?

They seemed to love everything about the place, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed... here too The couple that looked at the house came back with two questions: would the town allow them to build another structure (a garage, presumably, and yes they could) and how fast could we move out (pretty damned fast, but 30 days would be ideal.) We would rent a place through the winter, buy a tow-behind RV since I will get my license back in early Dec, then road trip x-country for 2-3 months in mid to late spring with a final destination of Colorado. WAH HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!11!!!1!!!! Badmotherfuckinass!! The new phone gets Internet on the island... Got an offer on the house this morning, countered offered, and it was accepted. Next step is the house inspection, then the purchase & sales agreement. It's happening, fo realz. 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. 
EPIC! Thats great news dude.
Sadly I think our Cannon plans will be affected by my jacked up elbow. 9 days later and after 3 days of complete rest, it feels 0% better. I'm actually a bit concerned now. I have a doctors appointment for monday.
If a miracle happens and it heals quickly, I am still planning to drive up but I can't commit to plane tickets with the way it feels now.

Stooooopid sport climbing. Let ^that^ be a lesson to you kids. If you randomly decide you are going to get strong and don't take adequate rests, you are going to jack yourself up.

You should do it. I need partners. I may have just crashed another one with oversharing and general social awkwardness.

I bought a elbow brace/compression sleeve but I have to wear it backwards because my forearm is bigger than my spindly bicep.
Thought you guys would get a kick out of that.
