Ha !! Righto Werner!

It was worth starting the nonsense thread, just to get this going. Thanks for straightening me out Russ.

I dumped it, just so's my Karma won't be ruined by mentioning the name!

More to come...later, after a mandatory chore...if I can find the right ones in the Russ filing system. Sometimes I hate my organization.

Russ,

I dig your bro-box shot.

I still remember, we were listening to Joe Jackson "I'm The Man".


Dr. F, Yes, the Rush thread disappeared. It made my mouth taste funny.....

This spot reserved for a Rudie pic when I get home. Photobucket won't open here at work. Sheesh!

Okay, here it is. What a fine example of climber man flesh.

Bring it on Mimi.

Hurry home.

If only we could get his unique sense of humor to come through in these pix. That would be cool.

The scowl on the prowl.

Referring to the girls at the pub:

"Yeah man, we gotta go tend to the stable..."

The wet rat just after the descent from Hallet Peak.

We survived a serious sh*tstorm on the way down, to include cliff shaking lightning bolts, unbelieveable decibles, down climbing wet, slush covered ledges, a couple of pretty impressive rockfalls and of course the mandatory waterfall from the wet ropes down the croitch when rapping.

But the best part of all was to hear Doug describe it to the ladies afterward!

Oops, you already did that, thanks!

Yeah, survival, your ass is in deep doodoo. I posted my pic, btw. Wish I had more.

Great shots of a great guy. That scowl was/is one of the best.
