Well the Stetson might be retired, but its spirit still rambles the Rockies.
Seen on a trail somewhere last week, with a 3-generation posse of my relatives ...

A few years back, Tarbuster rambled out to New Hampshire.
While Lisa prepared to race Mt. Washington, Tarbuster and Cowpoke and I enjoyed a fine day on Cathedral Ledge.

Not long after New Hampshire, we met again out in Eldo.
I thought nobody climbed offwidths wearing a cowboy hat, but I was wrong.

My travels take me to the Rockies, now and then.
A year later when I drifted through town, Tarbuster and I dodged the summer heat up on Fantasy Ridge.
I met the Cozmic Banditos, along with Crimpie & Dave, Philo, Goatboy, Snakefoot, Ray & other Boulder crew at a swell Flagstaff party.

And then a year after that, Tarbuster, Crimpie, Mike Munger and I romped up Redgarden.
Crimpie & Mike romped faster, zooming up Alice in Bucketland while Tarbuster & I strolled Ruper.
I think the last time I had climbed this route was with Warren Harding. Really.

I spoke with Roy a few days ago.
He can no longer use a keyboard without excruciating pain.
So he has quit Supertopo all together.
Send him your best thoughts and healing wishes.

It's true that life has dealt Roy some tough cards to play.
The man is down, but I can tell you he is not out of the game.
We haven't got to that second walk yet.

I wonder how well a voice-recognition program like Dragon Naturally Speaking would work for things like the SuperTopo forum? It seems quite effective, and is hands-free, though it must take a little training and practice. It wouldn't help with scanning and posting photos, which is fairly manual, but should allow posting with little if any use of the arms.
Anyway, nice to see some photos of Roy, and hear that he's still getting at it.

Roy has been using a voice recognition software for years. Unfortunately the current symptoms have effected his throat and he losses his voice quickly. Best wishes to the RoyBoy.

In the tradition of all those adventures from years gone by, Roy and I agreed we ought to climb something when I briefly visited Colorado last week. For different reasons, we both prepared by doing pretty much nothing.
As a professional desk jockey, doing nothing comes easy to me. Straight off the couch it would be. Doing nothing comes less naturally for Tarbuster, but he was determined.
So what should we climb? Hardly anything seemed easy enough.
