Pete,
Gads, it's only Thursday night. And being a lightweight, I'm halfway there on half a bottle of Appelation Lodi - the Seven Deadly Zins. Don't laugh, it's great stuff, though slightly overpriced these days, even I [the consummate cheapskate] will spring for a bottle every now and then.
My buddy is one of the bothers that owns that winery, if you ski they just put out a powder ski with the 7-deadly Zins Logo. He one of the main people here that is pushing the Lodi Appellation. He is also the main sponsor of the local bicycle team. Climbing related because his son is getting to climbing.

Hey it is Friday night, where is everyone? Ok, technically it is Saturday morning in VT. Just arrived so am enjoying a Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout as a nightcap. Cannot beat 10% ABV to ensure a sound sleep :)
Actually, hopefully everyone is not posting while drunk because they are packing and prepping for a great day of climbing/skiing/whatever tomorrow.

I have been celebrating!
A great week, and life is good.
I'm turning modern! I drilled anchor holes for bolts on our tiny crag-top this week. We've never had the guts to climb the overhanging section.
This year for sure!
Sport-crag! Woohoo!
Hopefully: the Inukshuks & Aliens are cool with this Sports Climbing stuff.

Wade, will this become a regular post? Photo of this week's beer and mug, with the previous weeks on the screen behind? That would build into a sort of fractal image.
There is a similar one somewhere on the net of a photo of a cat looking a the screen, which shows a photo of a cat looking at the screen, and on into infinity.
Nice choice of ale, by the way.

Woohoo! I knew something was missing.
It was TFNPWDP time!
Back to winter in the S. Idaho desert.
Snow tonight.
I'm easing the "winter returns" pain with a "wee tot" of vin rouge.
It did hit 68 degrees on Weds.
Kinda felt like living in Cali.
I cavorted!

Maybe one of the biggest nights ever for Aurora Borealis/Northern Lights.
Here's a link to a forecast site.

If you get a break in the clouds: check out the sky.
A little night-time winter walk clears the drunk mind wonderfully!
(Or helps out the gene-pool).

No alcohol consumed... yet...
This is my last Friday night in Hawaii for a couple of months; I come back in May for my daughter's graduation, but except for that month, I'll spending most of them in or near the Valley for the first time in 25+ years.
Worked hard today; sent another box to CA, including my slide scanner and several large boxes of slides, packed most of my S.W. and Hawaii slides into moisture-proof ammo boxes for storage here, set up my second garage sale in the last month, so that early tomorrow morning, strangers will be arriving at 6:30am instead of 8:00 to root thru my cool stuff that I'm parting with.
Next Thursday, I'm on a red-eye out of Kona to St. George for the weekend, then to CA, on the road again...
Can't think of anything inflammatory... If something comes, I'll post it up!

Very cool to both BMACD and Jaybro. That is worth celebrating (with fizzy water of course).
