Are you taking adventage of that injured woman, Pete??? Hehehe
She got crutches and a concrete leg. Pete doesn't stand a chance if he gets outta line.
I don't get it Pete...all that lovely wine and you're still fishing cups outta the Yose cafe garbage.
A f'ing man of mystery I guess.

Warming up to Halloween with a little Pendulum Columbia Valley red wine.
It's going to be a wet weekend in Idaho, so no outdoor fun.
I declared victory overy the lawn yesterday and it replied:
"No Mas."
No grow, no mow ---- till next spring.
That's a good reason to drink, that and this week on ST. Fuking whinners.

Slow night for drunks.
Wife and I polish off the bottle of Chocolate Shop.
http://www.chocolateshopwine.com/
Okay this stuff is incredible. Fritz, Pete, and you too, ya gotta try this stuff.
Apparently it's all grape, almost like a port in color and thickness, but tastes like the best damn chocolate you ever had. Drink it well chilled, pour it over vanilla ice cream. Hersheys sells nothing this good.
I'll be foisting this off on family and friends for the next year, so if I'm dropping by your place, count on it.

dry pass, Pass The Pitons' Pete, HAPPY HALLOWEEN I've got two that still do do the trick or Treat March.
As The silly can help a heavy hart this goofy dress up and strutt a -bout
is a some thing
no big thing
big deal.
The reasons are many,
one that is as relevant and obvious to a ten year old is that one time we had to cancel Halloween twice ;two years in a row.
So Yes Norwegian, there is a Charlie Brown and I read on the bathroom wall that
The Great Pumpkin has not been seen since Hurricane Sandy blew out of town.
The year before that was the no name Clown stopping storm,
that sent a stunning 70 thousand house holds into the dark
power out for two weeks????
All theses as Halloween memories in the minds of the ones that count.
So Say Silly,
never grew up,
has not got,
watcha drinken'? tonight
asks the guy from next door
I laugh and hold up the hand sign for zero.
I make sure that we do it right. Lay lights in the yard, set up the door display. Wrap the kids in tin foil send them out with a group.
That's what the money is spent for three hours of safe trick n' treating.
When The urchins start to show up the dog barks any one's guess is good as to who will show up to hand out candy!!

Starting out with a Black Toad that somehow made it back with me from Trader Joe's via Yosemite.
Happy Friday night, all!

Before my Friday night frivolity commences, I need to make a serious toast to two lost Idaho climber friends that met unlikely and untimely demises this year.
John Crock, owner of Hyperspud Sports died of Melanoma this spring at age 58.
Mark Weber, age 54, died of a heart attack this week.
Both were active, talented, and well-known climbers, involved in their communities, and appreciated by most everyone that knew them.
Sad to see disease striking down such vibrant men in their 50's. Unfortunately, our loss resonates with me, since I lost my father to a heart-attack when he was 53.
A toast to those lost too soon!
and one for the living:
Here's to cheating death!
Doooodzes.
Sluuuuurp.

Still in Utah. Hard to get drunk without going down that dark alley and around the corner in that 8 1/2 minute window when the state store is open.
So it's still beer!

Geez, I was just looking at the other post, to Yuri's excellent picture book about Camp 4. In it, there is - of course! - a photo of the bulletin board.
And right on the bottom, a big note addressed to Richie Copeland.
Cheers to my late "9-11 Brother". He always called me that, because we met for the first time on the summit of El Cap on 9-11 of 2001.

The thing is this, It's the low rent thunderbird of Whisky ...Canadian Mist.
The mix of fresh limes and ginger two shots to the wind ...I knew Richie and Richard both
A shot For each they were both great lizards for peace
Now it will be the Reed's extra ginger Brew and ginger and lime to thicken and stretch time.
This next bit is sure to cause a rift

Gotta be fun

But we get the job done
We just fuss & fuss & fuss
The easy path is not for such as us
We now need to climb the stairs for what it’s worth
They just pulled the plug on our elevator here in middle earth
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it,you
Can.
This is an easy leftward traverse leading up to the top of the spillway.
Dying is easy. Comedy is hard. Life's funny that way.
One day at a time, one twinge at a time.
I hope everything Otay today.

Petie and Anita here in Kingston, after an unsuccessful day of fishing on the Bay of Quinte. Fun, just no walleyes.... And cold!
We just finished our bottle of Pinot Gris from Lewis Grace in Placerville that we picked up this fall on our road trip.
Last night we drank this double gold medal Boeger Barbera that we picked up a couple hours before the Lewis Grace.
We're torn between the Baumgarner Petite Sirah and the Mastroserio Zinfandel next...
Edit: Holy sh|t - that's a big fukkin' photo up top! Sorry .... please disregard me....
Second edit: Anita is here laughing at the difference between the top photo from today, when we're freezing our asses off in about eight layers, versus the second photo from last month in California where we're wearing a single layer. Sheesh.

still working the Canadian Mist as always. with fresh lime and squeezed ginger
using a shot glass tonight actually a very chunky white Saki drinking one and a half oz shot
then squeeze ginger and lime into a tumbler and splash in the mist to stir. I will have three over the course of four hours, then out like a lite for .....four hours - 3:30 am
next week Wine red seems the winter flavor
Hey it could be worse,
you could be in Kingston NY , although the Hudson River has fish the mighty Sturgeon is rare
if not extinct. Of course there is climbing in a quarry that is steep and all most all the climbs
follow Drilled Pockets!! The Antithesis of the traditional climbing in the Gunks. A very quick twenty minute ride to the west
This was a strange thing tonight I had tried to post on to J Donini's super popular thread
About The meaning or watering down of Adventure. But the tablet I am using refused to give
me a keyboard until I came here to FDNPD
My adds to the two songs on that other 'Adventure' thread would have read: Both songs deal with adventure. Brothers and sisters and Monkey & the Engineer.
In bros. & sisters the line is "our Bible reads, we shall not be afraid when ... wind blows on at a steady pace.The monkey and the Engineer tells of tragedy narrowly averted!
go have a listen they are fun tunes.
cheers and thanks for playing along
and hip hip hooray for EFFA (external fixation free Anita ) & PTPP
please Anita, my Apologies.
Acronym EDIT Now I feel horrible and insensitive please if the po ca ca is upsetting,
Anita it was meant as funny but now at three thirty A M I look and see that it has to go
I am sorry...I went in and took out that insensitive thing and left in the last one as I am sure you are glad that contraption is off...
HI thanks for reaching out. My comments and the original posted Acronym FOEFA. I never like to blame the stupor that I am in when I post here, for the st00pid stuff I post here</;+D

Hey PTPP?
Looks like a interesting wine choice.
How did you decide to pick that Boeger??
Did it have good nose?

Fritz,
Last month after Anita came to Yosemite, we went over on the East Side to the hot springs, then we came back across the pass from South Lake Tahoe to Placerville. We ended up at the Mother Lode motel for three nights, and did two superb days of wine tasting.
The first day we started at Boeger, and went on through to Lava Cap, Lewis Grace and a few others. The second day we went down to Fairplay Road, and went to Toogood, which has excellent wines, but we had already bought a ton. We ended up a Mastroserio drinking wine and playing jazz with the winemaker.
So all the wines we bought we had the opportunity to taste first, and select.
I rank Placerville, Amador County and El Dorado County wines every bit as good as the big name regions, but at a fraction of the cost. And the wine tastings are almost always free!
