You left something off your list. Prepare to be frustrated and intimidated at the same time. Good luck on your quest.

That was because he was focusing Prod. His wife could never know this. I wouldn't arouse this angry mutant, he is in transition stage. I've been through this many, many times when he was a boy mutant. He seems to be out, hopefully doing wind sprints and laying low so we should probably get in some cold shots so as to prepare him to his fullest capacity. As his trustworthy second I'm stuck on his reference to War and Peace. Did he read the abridged version? It's cryptic him mentioning this and I can't help but see it like this: In the book Pierre (Grug, played by Kurt Russell) representing nobility and depth, foolishly gets himself into a duel with DoloDolovich (Lucille and superficiality) to the surprise of his second (Me, played by a young James Gardner)representing purity and innocence. It's known as the comical part of the book. If you climb OW you know the outcome.

Goatboy; Had a fun 2nd weekend in a row at Vedauwoo, this time hanging out with Prod and Christa. Yeah, a week ago the wife and I had some trouble finding a decent trail to the base of Lucille. Is there a single cairn anywhere at Vedauwoo? Anyhow, I ended up scrambling to the base while she stayed behind. So, I at least got a look at her majesty (Lucille, not my wife) from the base of Best of the Blues.
Jaybro; I think I'll hang loose as to whether to attempt on Saturday or Sunday. I'll go with the flow.
Em; Looking forward to seeing you.
Phantom X; I'm wondering if they need writers for Zippy the Pinhead. You've got talent in this arena, I'm thinking.
Gal; Thanks for the encouragement.
Dogtown; I'm well aware of what I'm up against.
Miss anybody?

Looking at Lucille right now, she wants you, Grug!
She tells me she's been lonely since kinky inverted tryst with Shanti...

Showing that picture of Shanti upside down in Lucille is always a real crowd pleaser.

A video would be good.
I've got to say, I have watched Grug climb a few wide cracks, and sometimes
I simply can't understand how he's doing it.
I consider myself a fairly serious student of the genre, but some of his
movements are mysterious.

Now way, my fingers are about as tough as a baby's butt.
Ribs still clunking and creaking.
No power or time.

She's too shy to ask, but if anyone coming from the south could help Em of Wyde with a ride from DIA to Vedauwoo Friday afternoon, quality Wyde karma would definitely be yours!
Now how on topic is that, for a thread enticed, "Road to Lucille?"
