Yeah, I know. Sorry for the bother. None are pressing problems, but I will want them eventually. Call me on the jaw-box, okay?
I wanna keep in close contact. It's weird how we picked up each other this weekend. I blame 'The Synch.'

And now it's time for our Italian friends to tell us about ourselves.
This is how the forum might be conducted were we all face to face instead of interface to interface.

Yes of course I saw that, but the finest trait of valor is discretion,
There is a man, a mentor to me. -He says stuff like,- "'n go'da sayin' fo' dat schist,"
who cautioned to 'think before you speak',
don't hit send
Decline, to send,, delete - at least twice as often
as the times you do send on your thoughts
Out to roam,
, remember
It is all about them or you or me m me

Hello, I'm glad to see that you have the bug!
Great,,
For the most part, the route that you are taking to
Learn to climb is a good sound plan.
It is not the only way to learn to climb.
I am sure that others will get you outside ,
the level of concern for safety is very high,
all the posts say to be careful wear a helmet,and the rest.
If it does not feel right, stop,
Check everything twice
Redundancy
Good luck gets you killed,,don't just laugh it off,
Listen to the signals, life sends
Complacency kills too
The best way ,past the basics of belaying and tying in, to learn to climb is to go climbing.
The Gunks is the worlds best place to learn to climb .
The cliffs are like an outdoor gym. Many many climbs have the bulk of the climbing in the first
Pitch.and allow for top roping harder climbs, or variations.
The horizontal cracks take gear in a almost foolproof way.
, so you can learn as you go, trading leads with some one .
Following, going second or last on the rope,
While removing ,cleaning gear- is the best way to learn.
this is using a top rope, that is a good thing to do to learn
top rope.
Take as long as it takes.
When you feel "it", go for it.
you need to be able to see the consequences,
of your actions on lead.
Start slow on easy climbs 5.2-3-4&5 exist in the gunks and almost nowhere else in the same quality.
Climb them all follow and then lead for three years
You will progress fast.
be safe you can expect to be able to get on a lot of climbs that are easy up to a crux this applies to climbs into the 5.10s that are one move wonders.
Anyway welcome have fun and
Go rock climbing outside.
By the way I would be happy to get outside for a day either way get to the Gunks.
The idea to give your mind the knowledge to understand 'the goings on'
when the clock is ticking
and the chance
of not holding on
and holding on Not Falling,
are only separated
by the knowledge of what to do next,
, you want to know what to do next,
not let go, or fall off. - move up.
I know it seems expensive but if you have it to spend,
to learn to stay alive, a guide is a good idea.
M. . .
What's that you say pathetic should I get a written waiver, or a parents release?
I hope that that explains how to start a fire - Burch - y is it? Chy not chi ? seeze ya in still?
Dr Who, Tardis , fishing pole, movie star - watch out.

Trype trash track talk not worth spitting back. . ..

As Bob, the president of one of the company's I worked for taught me, Dr. Pepper is big in Tejas. Bob was a pretty good ol' boy, an Aggie, who also taught me that if you want a martial arts guy to stop buggin' you, pull out your old pistola and point it at him and tell him to fuuck off.
Time passes slowly up here in the mountains
We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains
Catch the wild fishes that float through the stream
Time passes slowly when you’re lost in a dream
Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin’
We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin’
Stared out the window to the stars high above
Time passes slowly when you’re searchin’ for love
Ain’t no reason to go in a wagon to town
Ain’t no reason to go to the fair
Ain’t no reason to go up, ain’t no reason to go down
Ain’t no reason to go anywhere
Time passes slowly up here in the daylight
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day
Time passes slowly and fades away

I humbly submitten
this countrified kitten
with whom the Mouse was once smitten
but to every ting there's not a tong
sometimes you're just dead wrong.
