Yes, missed opportunities. You could have had her ask me if I had heard about how they are having problems with the cg manager, hehe.
And durp durp, you should have come down, duh.

It's hard on weekends like that. Nathan really can't take any vacation time left to use on silly things like rock scaling (this is truth - his dad is sick). So I need to take long weekends away by myself, but I also want to spend whatever time I can with him. It sucks.

Yeah, that's tough. And with birthday on Thursday, you really couldn't have taken a trip, unless he was going to rack up some serious good-husband points.
Still, it was a perfect weekend, weather-wise.
We ran into some other Canadians at the New, too, also from Toronto, though I don't think they knew you. The girl's name was also Rebecca, and the guy was Mike. They were on this long 7-month road trip, because he was between school and work, and she has an awesome career: she is a lifestyle couch for people who want to work from home or travel. Now, THAT is some smart thinking for career choice. What was I thinking when I picked my career path?
Oh, and a best quote from the entire weekend. As we were driving to Summersville on Sunday Morning, blue skies, breezy beautiful weather and all, I said wistfully, imagine if we didn't have to go back today? Imagine if we had two months ahead of us, with nothing but climbing?
To which Ed responded, yeah, I can imagine it very well, today would have been a rest day.

Hehe, yeah, I wonder what it would be like to have nothing but climbing coming up for the next few months... wait, never mind.
Today is a nice rest day, though.

Probably should have gone to the gnu with them instead of dealing with a hung over champ all weekend, but hindsight's 20-20.
have a feeling hindsight wasn't quite 20-20 for teh pegbored champ on saturday.

Needs appliance conversion. How big is a half-brick? A very, very, very small microwave?

Our gym built a SUPER-sweet new training area, moved all hangboards, systems wall, campus board, crack wall, etc. in one place. Really sweet setup that allows you to put up 16 hangboards and easily subtract weight, if needed. Anyway, super-sweet. And then they went and put peg holes all the way around the hangboard support boards. And now every single gumby in the gym goes there and attempts to pegboard their way all the way around the entire structure, in the most retarded manner possible. What's the appeal of traversing by sticking pegs into every-2-inch evenly spaced holes and hanging from them, I am not sure, but it's like the star attraction of the gym at the moment. it took me a while to realize that this involved actual pegs, and that not all uv teh gumbys were bringing in their ice toolz. Sometimes, when you don't know the answer.... It's best to just sit there and smile. Would it make the pegging any less retarded? (my apologies to everyone who likes it)
uhmmm.... peg boreding and pegging are knot exactly teh same thing.
I thought ewe gnu? ....go ask dribble.

camhead wrote: Fun day yesterday. Jung needed some models for some marketing photos that he was taking for the river company he works for. Pay was a free meal at the nicest restaurant in town, so I jumped at the chance. I should have known that, since it was Jung, that there would be curveballs. The shoot started out good, he wanted to catch the morning light in a luxury cabin, but also wanted to depict afternoon-beer-drinking. So, starting at 8:30, we looked at our prop beerz, thought "what the hell," and started drinking. Then it turned out that Jung wanted some hot tub shots, and stuck me and this raft guide chick in the hot tub with a bottle of $3 Walmart merlot. More drinking ensued. THEN, shit got real. Jung wanted some "summer swimming pics," so he made us hike down to this deep swimming hole in a creek, told us to jump in, and frolic. Only trouble was that it was about 55 degrees, and the water was probably 45 degrees. Fucking frigid, even with the mild buzz I had going. Thought I was going to drop from cardiac arrest right there, and I could not feel my toes, fingers, or ____ for the rest of the day. The meal that night was worth it, though. Plum basted duck, prime rib, three pieces of cheesecake. Jay put some of the pics up on the facespace.
Does anybody else hear the Whaaaaaaaambulance?

I was there. and I say that it was half-brick. And I mean, literally. It was nicely-even with parallel sides, and all.
I think it must have been one of those loose rocks that is held in a slot, and wiggles there kinda securely, without going anywhere-- except when it finally does go.
And no, the guy didn't yell anything, and didn't even say, "gosh, I am so glad nobody got hurt" when he was lowered off. he was just pissed that he didn't send. And no, the brick had nothing to do with it. He fell before the brick episode.

You keep referring to this "brick"......are you sure it wasn't more like a hand mixer?

I'll also be there the following weekend for the blitzo thing. oh yea,,, I'll likely sea ewe at teh Blitzo thing.
Cool. I think there are going to be a ton of folks out at that thing.
Not sure about the prior weekend though, looks like we are likely headed to red rocks. I'm hoping we hit NJC for half a day on the 30th on the drive out there.

In other news, been surfing a fair bit out here. Except for the 3 days I was way sick last week, ugh.
Also, my Jamaican bobsled suits showed up. Look for the team at a sunny crag in October

while I don't understand your "brick" language, based on your descriptions it seems to be maybe a small cheese grater size, or maybe one of those magic bullet things?
