you can do that all while scoring some PTFTWs.

You should go. Obviously!

I am betting that drivel WILL survive the urge to do the gun-sucking, and WILL someday take another graduate course, but not because he HAS to, just because he WANTS to.
I'll grant you, it won't happen for a little while after this summer.

I just told her yesterday that I wasn't going to be going....but I could always change my mind. Nathan assumed I was going and has already made plans with our friend John for the weekend. If it weren't for the $17 for a day pass now I'd be all over that.
Another minus - it seems I'm kinda sick. Not really sick, just a little sick, but still.

I think I find a 9 hour drive more of a deterrent than the 17 day pass, but I just don't got the big drive in me for a weekend.

Yeah, nine hrs is pushing it for a weekend trip. My criteria is that you have to spend more time on the rock than in the car, so you would have to climb 18 hrs for a nine hour one-way drive, which would be tough in two days.
I am pleased to say that we did pull off the drive-climb time ratio yesterday. Climbed from like 10:30am to 8pm. Two nights in a row of 4 hrs of sleep though are catching up. I think my lecture on federalism today was pretty out of it.

Way to go on the drive-to-climb ration for a day trip. That was pretty impressive.
I've heard that Wildfire at Curbside was pretty cool. Never tried it though. Hard to get someone psyched about going to Curbside! Even though I thought one of the 10s there was decent, and an 11c (?) to the left of Wildfire was really really fun. It was years ago though... Maybe I can get Ed to go there with me sometime.

yeah, 9 hour drive mandates a minimum of 3 full days of climbing, preferably more.

I found out yesterday that they're going for three days, so the 9 hour drive isn't too bad, but I haven't figured out if I could take the day off or not.
that's getting to be more reasonable, though it depends on when you leave on that third day.

I'd be going for noon or 1pm on account that I'd like to see Nathan on the way back through.
I actually asked a friend if I could borrow her year pass. If I can then I might still go (assuming they haven't already found a 4th). Otherwise I'll just climb at home this weekend.

Whoo! We close on Friday and just found out our closing costs are $3500 less than we thought they were going to be. That's our new cabinets and most of the flooring!

Nice! Is it because of the taxes being calculated backwards, or is it genuinely $3500 less?
