The worst thing to do would be to fall, and land directly on the bottom of the left foot. Teh gimpfoot is still in an aircast, but I am walking around a bit, and have moved toward doing some actual climbing. Can't do any toeing in with the aircast, since that would put a lot of strain on the Lispaul joint. So, mostly, I am sticking to really steep stuff that I just climb with one foot ('m using the Arrowhead that Jack sent me last year for my right foot). Feeling really good actually. I set several porbelms that suit the one footedness, and I even have a bit of power in me, and can deadpoint, dyno, deep cross over to pretty small holds. Feet cut a lot, but I'm feeling really strong on the crimps and even some slopey pinches. Also getting good at falling onto my back, instead of my feet. The one problem is that, since my feet cut every few moves as I try to reset the right foot, I REALLY get worn out fast. So, volume is suffering. I'm just hoping that will build up my endurance enough that I will feel stronger and better endurance as soon as I can use both feet. May try to re-prodge Apollo Reed this spring, since it has very few hard left foot moves. That would be awesome. Nice! I can't imagine that putting climbing shoes on the gimpfoot will be pleasant for quite some time, so are you planning to climb in approach shoe on the gimpfoot, once the aircast is off, or are you going to try the climbing shoes? And btw, don't forget, there is spring season at the RED, and you have committed to it. Hmm, spring season at the Red... hard to say, Lena, hard to say. I'm not sure how putting climbing shoes on it going to be. I'm optimistic about it after we pull the pins (and count to three?) in early March. I have a few old shoes that are a bit bigger and stiffer that I can start on, and even the Arrowheads are about 1/2 size big for me, so will probably get a great getting-back-into-it boot for the steeps. Feeling cautiously optimistic, though. Probably not gonna be a great Endless Wall season, but I think steep sport will be good. Due to the nature of the injury, I'll probably be doing as much heelhooking as possible with the left. I asked the Doc about climbing, and he clearly did not get how shoes work, since he said that he could give me a metal shank to put inside the shoes for more support. LOL, metal shank for inside of the climbing shoes! Still, may not be so off. Didn't Gail get carbon inserts into her climbing shoes after her toe surgery? Obviously, completely different injury, but... Brian gave me a pair of lave up stiff shoes a size too big when I was ready to try climbing again. And another pair two sizes too big. I was very happy to have both. My feet swelled something fierce. The dog? Can he hook me up with some free shooz?  Speaking of the dog, Mo has been pretty quiet lately. I think that Brian may have flatrocked her after hearing about her meatbombzing the Lesburu? Patty would have rolled right over that pesky median. You're right, patty would have taken it like a champ. End damage: new rim, 4 new tires (which is the bullshit of AWD I guess since the other three were FINE and had 30k left in them) new alignment, some other random shit... $1000. Yup, a $1k flat tire. I was actually kind of shocked with Brian's response- I grew up in a house where poppa biner would get all red and yelly if someone (even himself) dropped a glass, let alone launched a car into a curb. Brian was just 'don't be sorry, it's ok, these things happen. Here, let me change the tire for you in three minutes flat' and THEN proceeds to spend the whole next day dealing with getting it fixed. Momma sez he's a keepah. Holy crap, I didn't know you had to get 4 new tires for exploding one. I would be tempted to ignore that. The curse of the Subaru. They won't sell you just one. If you can bat your eyelashes well enough and the dude selling them is feeling nice, they MIGHT sell you two. But almost always they will make you buy all 4. Basterds. This is complete misinformashonz! If you go to a service station run by Russian mafiamechanic, they will replace one, and only one. Unless you ask for more. They will also get you parts from the "junkyard", instead of new ones, if you want. (And dispose of any bodies they find in your car, in case you accidentally left them there, but that is, of course, not relevant to anyone here, and is only a hearsay, anyway.) Yes, NEVER go to the dealership for maintenance. Ever. heh, the mechanic I go to actually is russian. no mafia ties that I am aware of. We just went to a regular mechanic, not the dealer. We tried to find a used rim but my car is so new they didn't have any in the junk yard. Could have got a full set of used, but it would have taken a few days and my family gets here tomorrow. Brian's very cheap when he can be, he made all sorts of phone calls to see if we could get out of it. His momma raised him hebrew right! Rascist? Tuphar? definitely RACIST.

Speaking of crooked russians... I went and saw the new Die Hard last night. Loyerette is out of town so I found myself free. I've always had a weakness for the Die Hard movies, and this one lived up to my expectations of corny one liners and flat out unbelievable action. It is set in Russa and there is a nuclear threat involved. It was like going back in time... Hmm, clamhats may have to make a date to go see that. I was pretty psyched to see it, with the tag line, "Yippy Ki Ye, Mother Russia."
There is some serious cornball in it, plus a few nice homages to the earlier DHs. Sutpid, but fun.

May try to re-prodge Apollo Reed this spring, since it has very few hard left foot moves. That would be awesome. Nice! I can't imagine that putting climbing shoes on the gimpfoot will be pleasant for quite some time, so are you planning to climb in approach shoe on the gimpfoot, once the aircast is off, or are you going to try the climbing shoes? And btw, don't forget, there is spring season at the RED, and you have committed to it. Hmm, spring season at the Red... hard to say, Lena, hard to say. I'm not sure how putting climbing shoes on it going to be. I'm optimistic about it after we pull the pins (and count to three?) in early March. I have a few old shoes that are a bit bigger and stiffer that I can start on, and even the Arrowheads are about 1/2 size big for me, so will probably get a great getting-back-into-it boot for the steeps. Feeling cautiously optimistic, though. Probably not gonna be a great Endless Wall season, but I think steep sport will be good. Due to the nature of the injury, I'll probably be doing as much heelhooking as possible with the left. I asked the Doc about climbing, and he clearly did not get how shoes work, since he said that he could give me a metal shank to put inside the shoes for more support. LOL, metal shank for inside of the climbing shoes! Still, may not be so off. Didn't Gail get carbon inserts into her climbing shoes after her toe surgery? Obviously, completely different injury, but... Brian gave me a pair of lave up stiff shoes a size too big when I was ready to try climbing again. And another pair two sizes too big. I was very happy to have both. My feet swelled something fierce. The dog? Can he hook me up with some free shooz? Speaking of the dog, Mo has been pretty quiet lately. I think that Brian may have flatrocked her after hearing about her meatbombzing the Lesburu? Patty would have rolled right over that pesky median. You're right, patty would have taken it like a champ. End damage: new rim, 4 new tires (which is the bullshit of AWD I guess since the other three were FINE and had 30k left in them) new alignment, some other random shit... $1000. Yup, a $1k flat tire. I was actually kind of shocked with Brian's response- I grew up in a house where poppa biner would get all red and yelly if someone (even himself) dropped a glass, let alone launched a car into a curb. Brian was just 'don't be sorry, it's ok, these things happen. Here, let me change the tire for you in three minutes flat' and THEN proceeds to spend the whole next day dealing with getting it fixed. Momma sez he's a keepah. Holy crap, I didn't know you had to get 4 new tires for exploding one. I would be tempted to ignore that. The curse of the Subaru. They won't sell you just one. If you can bat your eyelashes well enough and the dude selling them is feeling nice, they MIGHT sell you two. But almost always they will make you buy all 4. Basterds. This is complete misinformashonz! If you go to a service station run by Russian mafiamechanic, they will replace one, and only one. Unless you ask for more. They will also get you parts from the "junkyard", instead of new ones, if you want. (And dispose of any bodies they find in your car, in case you accidentally left them there, but that is, of course, not relevant to anyone here, and is only a hearsay, anyway.) Yes, NEVER go to the dealership for maintenance. Ever. heh, the mechanic I go to actually is russian. no mafia ties that I am aware of. We just went to a regular mechanic, not the dealer. We tried to find a used rim but my car is so new they didn't have any in the junk yard. Could have got a full set of used, but it would have taken a few days and my family gets here tomorrow. Brian's very cheap when he can be, he made all sorts of phone calls to see if we could get out of it. His momma raised him hebrew right! Rascist? Tuphar? You do live in a major metropolitan area with a reasonable affluent population(and probably more subarus per capita than bozeman). Don't you have a tire iron and a cinderblock? Mah momma raised me right too...
That shit goes on in my neighborhood all the time. 
Viva Oakland!!

Speaking of crooked russians... I went and saw the new Die Hard last night. Loyerette is out of town so I found myself free. I've always had a weakness for the Die Hard movies, and this one lived up to my expectations of corny one liners and flat out unbelievable action. It is set in Russa and there is a nuclear threat involved. It was like going back in time... Sweet! Nathan found all the Die Hard movies in some soft of box set a while ago. Awesome! NPR reviewed the new die hard this morning and he said it was meh but with good action. I've decided if I'm paying $12 a ticket, I want to see shit blown up. -sent from my iYup 5, which seemed like a reasonable purchase before the car ding.
If that's what you're after, you won't be disappointed.

Due to the nature of the injury, I'll probably be doing as much heelhooking as possible with the left. I asked the Doc about climbing, and he clearly did not get how shoes work, since he said that he could give me a metal shank to put inside the shoes for more support. LOL, metal shank for inside of the climbing shoes! Still, may not be so off. Didn't Gail get carbon inserts into her climbing shoes after her toe surgery? Obviously, completely different injury, but... Brian gave me a pair of lave up stiff shoes a size too big when I was ready to try climbing again. And another pair two sizes too big. I was very happy to have both. My feet swelled something fierce. The dog? Can he hook me up with some free shooz? Speaking of the dog, Mo has been pretty quiet lately. I think that Brian may have flatrocked her after hearing about her meatbombzing the Lesburu? Patty would have rolled right over that pesky median. You're right, patty would have taken it like a champ. End damage: new rim, 4 new tires (which is the bullshit of AWD I guess since the other three were FINE and had 30k left in them) new alignment, some other random shit... $1000. Yup, a $1k flat tire. I was actually kind of shocked with Brian's response- I grew up in a house where poppa biner would get all red and yelly if someone (even himself) dropped a glass, let alone launched a car into a curb. Brian was just 'don't be sorry, it's ok, these things happen. Here, let me change the tire for you in three minutes flat' and THEN proceeds to spend the whole next day dealing with getting it fixed. Momma sez he's a keepah. Holy crap, I didn't know you had to get 4 new tires for exploding one. I would be tempted to ignore that. The curse of the Subaru. They won't sell you just one. If you can bat your eyelashes well enough and the dude selling them is feeling nice, they MIGHT sell you two. But almost always they will make you buy all 4. Basterds. This is complete misinformashonz! If you go to a service station run by Russian mafiamechanic, they will replace one, and only one. Unless you ask for more. They will also get you parts from the "junkyard", instead of new ones, if you want. (And dispose of any bodies they find in your car, in case you accidentally left them there, but that is, of course, not relevant to anyone here, and is only a hearsay, anyway.) Yes, NEVER go to the dealership for maintenance. Ever. heh, the mechanic I go to actually is russian. no mafia ties that I am aware of. We just went to a regular mechanic, not the dealer. We tried to find a used rim but my car is so new they didn't have any in the junk yard. Could have got a full set of used, but it would have taken a few days and my family gets here tomorrow. Brian's very cheap when he can be, he made all sorts of phone calls to see if we could get out of it. His momma raised him hebrew right! Rascist? Tuphar? definitely RACIST. He gets in trouble cracking Jew jokes but he doesn't look Jewish, so he gets dirty looks. 'But it's mah tribe!' Says he. I would have pegged him as Irish Catholic. Yep. Brian's Jewishness is newishness to me. I never suspected.

Was this before or after the boat incident?

I remember it. It was the only time where Doc wasn't trying to interject Princess Bride references into your weeding.

And btw, don't forget, there is spring season at the RED, and you have committed to it. Hmm, spring season at the Red... hard to say, Lena, hard to say. I'm not sure how putting climbing shoes on it going to be. I'm optimistic about it after we pull the pins (and count to three?) in early March. I have a few old shoes that are a bit bigger and stiffer that I can start on, and even the Arrowheads are about 1/2 size big for me, so will probably get a great getting-back-into-it boot for the steeps. Feeling cautiously optimistic, though. Probably not gonna be a great Endless Wall season, but I think steep sport will be good. Due to the nature of the injury, I'll probably be doing as much heelhooking as possible with the left. I asked the Doc about climbing, and he clearly did not get how shoes work, since he said that he could give me a metal shank to put inside the shoes for more support. LOL, metal shank for inside of the climbing shoes! Still, may not be so off. Didn't Gail get carbon inserts into her climbing shoes after her toe surgery? Obviously, completely different injury, but... Brian gave me a pair of lave up stiff shoes a size too big when I was ready to try climbing again. And another pair two sizes too big. I was very happy to have both. My feet swelled something fierce. The dog? Can he hook me up with some free shooz? Speaking of the dog, Mo has been pretty quiet lately. I think that Brian may have flatrocked her after hearing about her meatbombzing the Lesburu? Patty would have rolled right over that pesky median. You're right, patty would have taken it like a champ. End damage: new rim, 4 new tires (which is the bullshit of AWD I guess since the other three were FINE and had 30k left in them) new alignment, some other random shit... $1000. Yup, a $1k flat tire. I was actually kind of shocked with Brian's response- I grew up in a house where poppa biner would get all red and yelly if someone (even himself) dropped a glass, let alone launched a car into a curb. Brian was just 'don't be sorry, it's ok, these things happen. Here, let me change the tire for you in three minutes flat' and THEN proceeds to spend the whole next day dealing with getting it fixed. Momma sez he's a keepah. Holy crap, I didn't know you had to get 4 new tires for exploding one. I would be tempted to ignore that. The curse of the Subaru. They won't sell you just one. If you can bat your eyelashes well enough and the dude selling them is feeling nice, they MIGHT sell you two. But almost always they will make you buy all 4. Basterds. This is complete misinformashonz! If you go to a service station run by Russian mafiamechanic, they will replace one, and only one. Unless you ask for more. They will also get you parts from the "junkyard", instead of new ones, if you want. (And dispose of any bodies they find in your car, in case you accidentally left them there, but that is, of course, not relevant to anyone here, and is only a hearsay, anyway.) Yes, NEVER go to the dealership for maintenance. Ever. heh, the mechanic I go to actually is russian. no mafia ties that I am aware of. We just went to a regular mechanic, not the dealer. We tried to find a used rim but my car is so new they didn't have any in the junk yard. Could have got a full set of used, but it would have taken a few days and my family gets here tomorrow. Brian's very cheap when he can be, he made all sorts of phone calls to see if we could get out of it. His momma raised him hebrew right! Rascist? Tuphar? definitely RACIST. He gets in trouble cracking Jew jokes but he doesn't look Jewish, so he gets dirty looks. 'But it's mah tribe!' Says he. I would have pegged him as Irish Catholic. Yep. Brian's Jewishness is newishness to me. i could have sworn that I've bragged about my mad menorah collection.
perhaps we just assumed that you got bored and started buying them.

I'm just hoping that will build up my endurance enough that I will feel stronger and better endurance as soon as I can use both feet. May try to re-prodge Apollo Reed this spring, since it has very few hard left foot moves. That would be awesome. Nice! I can't imagine that putting climbing shoes on the gimpfoot will be pleasant for quite some time, so are you planning to climb in approach shoe on the gimpfoot, once the aircast is off, or are you going to try the climbing shoes? And btw, don't forget, there is spring season at the RED, and you have committed to it. Hmm, spring season at the Red... hard to say, Lena, hard to say. I'm not sure how putting climbing shoes on it going to be. I'm optimistic about it after we pull the pins (and count to three?) in early March. I have a few old shoes that are a bit bigger and stiffer that I can start on, and even the Arrowheads are about 1/2 size big for me, so will probably get a great getting-back-into-it boot for the steeps. Feeling cautiously optimistic, though. Probably not gonna be a great Endless Wall season, but I think steep sport will be good. Due to the nature of the injury, I'll probably be doing as much heelhooking as possible with the left. I asked the Doc about climbing, and he clearly did not get how shoes work, since he said that he could give me a metal shank to put inside the shoes for more support. LOL, metal shank for inside of the climbing shoes! Still, may not be so off. Didn't Gail get carbon inserts into her climbing shoes after her toe surgery? Obviously, completely different injury, but... Brian gave me a pair of lave up stiff shoes a size too big when I was ready to try climbing again. And another pair two sizes too big. I was very happy to have both. My feet swelled something fierce. The dog? Can he hook me up with some free shooz? Speaking of the dog, Mo has been pretty quiet lately. I think that Brian may have flatrocked her after hearing about her meatbombzing the Lesburu? Patty would have rolled right over that pesky median. You're right, patty would have taken it like a champ. End damage: new rim, 4 new tires (which is the bullshit of AWD I guess since the other three were FINE and had 30k left in them) new alignment, some other random shit... $1000. Yup, a $1k flat tire. I was actually kind of shocked with Brian's response- I grew up in a house where poppa biner would get all red and yelly if someone (even himself) dropped a glass, let alone launched a car into a curb. Brian was just 'don't be sorry, it's ok, these things happen. Here, let me change the tire for you in three minutes flat' and THEN proceeds to spend the whole next day dealing with getting it fixed. Momma sez he's a keepah. Holy crap, I didn't know you had to get 4 new tires for exploding one. I would be tempted to ignore that. The curse of the Subaru. They won't sell you just one. If you can bat your eyelashes well enough and the dude selling them is feeling nice, they MIGHT sell you two. But almost always they will make you buy all 4. Basterds. This is complete misinformashonz! If you go to a service station run by Russian mafiamechanic, they will replace one, and only one. Unless you ask for more. They will also get you parts from the "junkyard", instead of new ones, if you want. (And dispose of any bodies they find in your car, in case you accidentally left them there, but that is, of course, not relevant to anyone here, and is only a hearsay, anyway.) Yes, NEVER go to the dealership for maintenance. Ever. heh, the mechanic I go to actually is russian. no mafia ties that I am aware of. We just went to a regular mechanic, not the dealer. We tried to find a used rim but my car is so new they didn't have any in the junk yard. Could have got a full set of used, but it would have taken a few days and my family gets here tomorrow. Brian's very cheap when he can be, he made all sorts of phone calls to see if we could get out of it. His momma raised him hebrew right! Rascist? Tuphar? definitely RACIST. He gets in trouble cracking Jew jokes but he doesn't look Jewish, so he gets dirty looks. 'But it's mah tribe!' Says he. I would have pegged him as Irish Catholic. Yep. Brian's Jewishness is newishness to me. i could have sworn that I've bragged about my mad menorah collection. huh. I thought it was a dreidle collection. So, just how did you manage to strike that median? crappy driving? perhaps. But iz nawt mah fawlt! I believe you. I bet the median didn't check it's mirrors and cut you oft.

So, preemptive weakend report. See grupe for detailed butthurtz whining.
Anyway, hanging in Boston with Blueeyedclimber and Wonderwoman, who were gracious enough to let me crash on their couch. They are pretty rad, Boston is way fun as far as big cities go. Just went out to an Irish pub with real Irish accents! Drank too much beer, and one more important interview tomorrow. Also, another one of my pins is threatening a warp core breech, which hurts like hell.
That is awl.

WTF is going on with those pins? I thought the whole point of pins is that THEY DON'T MOVE! And this stop the bones from moving around. Can you get another doctor to look-see?
