hey there, say, mouse... hang in there...
was hoping that the one trip i had to calif, for my family, could have taken me to merced area, for timid and nita, and you, and a few others, but no time to get ride out that way... my mom needed me and the unexpected, best surprise, was the miracle of ALL my kids, only god knew that THAT would happen... so perfect, was his time...
had hoped johntp could have drove up too, but it was sooo far from folks, had to just get the bay area folks, and the great surprise of susan, over the santa cruz mts...
wished to get to facelift some day, would see many then, extended family, and hopefully audrey, and all you all, but i knew there was no way, after the recent trips...
so HANG on there, for all those folks that YOU still want to meet, too...
we are many, hoping for lots of various open doors... got good friends in bend, oregon, too, that wish to someday see...
so for you, and for me, and for all those hoping for good 'meet up trips' with good buddies--here's a cheer and prayers for us all...
now, LET us know of the surgery date, we need to pray and send you good cheer--it helps for the recovery...
good to hear the bike has a safe place to be locked down... though, during surgery, would it be good to have someone get it up to your room, to wait? or is the office good to watch out for it, everyday?
:( oh, i wish you had not, the breathing troubles... do you use oxygen at night? my 91 year old german friend, she recently got it, and it has helped her a lot...
keep thinking of all the love in the card that we all have for you, mouse...
i had a few hard weeks here, so i could not post the fun 'mouse' pics that i wanted to add to this FLAMES THREAD... :(
THOUGHT you'd get a happy kick out of them, but will have to wait...
not sure when, but we shall see...
put lots of my surprise gifts, on hold, as well, and am just taking care of nearby stuff, 'til the hard 'not feel up to par' days, are done...
knowing that god watches over us, though, gives a solid anchor and hidden flow of joy, in the midst of harder journeys...
MAY--this hold true for you, as well...
:)

No, I don't use oxygen, neebee. I may start using it later, depending on "things." Just what those things are: Will the VA cover it like they are covering my other Rx? and will it actually be beneficial? and whatever else.
I very much liked what you said. You're such a blessing to the Taco. I certainly pray you are back to where you want to be--healthy and strong and independent-but-dependent on the Lord, which is how I try to be, honestly.
"Trails" would be boring without "travails," eh? A path through the talus is never to be taken lightly...Ed Hartouni ran into a little bitty biter on After Six when he climbed with Lilabiene there two weeks ago. Small troubles are not easily seen, we need to watch out constantly and I pray for safety even as I walk (or glide on Electra) down the sidewalks here in town.
I will make sure the Silver Ride is parked and locked in my room when I go to visit the VA, which is the 29th, for a pre-op consult. I can't imagine there will be much of a wait after that, but it's the VA, and you just never know. I use both the cable with which it came and my old U-shaped lock, the Titanic of bike locks, when it gets parked, even for the shortest visit to a store or wherever.
And thank you, one more time, you awesome lady!
And Powder, sweetheart, thank you for your effort, too. I sure hope your physical woes are on the road to wellness and that you get some climbing in before this spectacular fall weather turns.
And one more thanks, one more time, to Lilabiene, for her strategic role in the delivery of Electra.

^^^G.O.D., ever climb Try Again Ledge?
It's right of The Caverns in the Five Open Books, an Ed Leeper route.
Oh, this might be a weird day. I just clicked on this thread, and Rodger's post at the top of the page mentions, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, Try Again Ledge.

Come together in a figure-eight knot
See the reggae cowboy war be fought
Somewhere where it's really hot

Somewhere out in the bright moon, right
Under the musical orbs in flight
Man oh man it's so far outasite

Oh, he'll claim not to remember this night in Berkeley.
Or was it?
We were in a closet smoking out with Jones.
No, wait...that was at Apathy House with Leo Newburn and Mathis and Leo's little brother Louie. I remember that.
The question remains, "Why deny?"
Let the flow go.

Trojan skinheads (also known as traditional skinheads or trads) are individuals who identify with the original British skinhead subculture of the late 1960s, when ska, rocksteady, reggae and soul music were popular, and there was a heavy emphasis on mod-influenced clothing styles.
Don't forget the grass, lass.

I'm thinkin' out loud
Can you hear me now
Thank me later
It's a great big roogalator
The question remains
Unanswered
But it's still the same
Is cheese better or is dreck better if dreck is better than drivel?
If dreck's not better*
Than drivel** it tends to beg the question
I end up juggling things
And never get my ducks in a row
Not even on a pond
*Send him to Dr. G
He's the new science guy
Relocating to another planet in the SoCal Galaxy
**Then where does that leave me
Out in?
In out? "Captain,sir, you've got to exhale."

I am sorry for your loss, but kindly think of getting out there a little more and posting up some climbing content on this site. Attributed to none other than mike m solely responsible for content
On behalf of this little section of supersoapo, thank you for condoling.
Be assured that our science writers are preparing a comeback for this character in the near future.
And your advice is sound, if not pie-in-the-sky thinking.
As Dr. might say...but then you call him in the morning, just like he asked you to,
and...Tomorrow's Another Day.
(To be continued. Then eventually discontinued. Then, who cares?)

I remember learning to juggle in camp 4...It was all the rage. I perfected it with green tomatoes when working the loading dock at Ragu in Merced. There were also these pre-hackysack things made out of a disk of phonebook with a feather sticking out of the middle. Chain walking also. Red hot coal tossing.

Hey man, I gotcha it’s hangin low, /././././-90my=,././././ Funny typo - !ST lee Remick still does it for me Angie Dickerson too
1st lee my wife (not named Lee) and I went and saw Burton 'These Eyes' Cummings and the showstopper was right there on YouTube that was .... Another story...
Today was not a day that I had time to post up ......she's the love of my life ......supposedly
I left the laundry all over the floor
ran out on her.. yo........while she was indisposed (Insert Truck stop potty faces here) to go climbin with a rope and A partner who already knows me and what I demand for A belay. This has become a challenge of late I burn thru partners and their chicks always dig me… asked if I like Cake I ask for a taste…. big Al’s girl from way BITD may be to blame.Another strange story((Karen Wilkennson ,like the sword the razor advertisment from yor:: the sound of swords clashing if I could I would find that swashbuckeler sound (Insert Erol Flynn. Hey I resemble that remark, clash clang)
still spelling out more
I blame my self for not joining this Kampfire sooner have only been a modern Emailin fool for less than six months though before that I refused, still have xxx mags under the mattress.
Did you catch Macdaddys’ regurgitation was that like the leaving of Ekat Gordo and
Dr F; also My fault …a confident climber is like a good assassin…an insecure climber is like a relief pitcher who only throws balls
Buttstain..no thats not right, Buhddastalin nolikee this
at three am I posted this,... I thought it clear… on the thread that earlier you saw and then asked me about
easy climbs in Yos
Looks easy from here
was starting to say what I will finish
this is not all that well thought out
have you ever maintained more than two noObs before?
Take smoking ducks’ advice and he will get to send some one out to pick up the pieces.
ground school
is key to give the beginning climbers' mind the info to feel safe and for it to be fun
getting in over your head if you're not skilled at the "guide mode"
Guide mode is work ....Peer pressure...that you don't mean to generate....will leave the weakest member of your party at risk....
preaching now..
hire /get ...a professional or a second experienced in the easy? ?....climbing that you seek
if you need to ask here....just saying...

Malice's restaurant massacre thread. Group W meets on Turd's Day.
Whiners International prayer breakfast on Friday.
Brokedown Climbers meet at 11 am on Turd's Day.
The Taco, for me, seems to be a lot of the enchilada, lately.[Click to View YouTube Video]Not the whole enchilada, for there are other things to eat.
There seems to have been a Great Reaction to The Closing Down of the Wrong Right thread.
It could be trend-setting is here to stay. They liked the old version of the Mickey Mouse Club so well (actually, the Mouseketeers just grew the hell up) that they canceled it. Then they brought it back with a new cast, the likes of whom you know. We have been there, here, and done that there thing, so go back in the archives and check it out, DirtBrag.
I have lurked and looked and will refrain from entering that arena, just as with the Old School thread. Politics and endless regurgitation of the same old makes my head hurt and I get confused by double talk and I'm sure you all agree with me.
BUT I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT IT, OTAY?
Keep your own counsel, say you are a member of a party, let it go, I know where you f*#king stand, obviously. OTAY?
I don't wanna know about how son-of-a-bitchy contrary is our elected president, the lame duck. OTAY?
The smoking duck had it right in his first post on that jingus thread, calling it, the 'Dumbest and stupidest thread on the the internet.'
THAT SAID, I need never go there again, because to doubt the duck is to flaunt your own ignorance.
There is this, though.
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/07/10/you-might-be-surprised-who-makes-obamas-list-of-great-republican-presidents/
It includes one presidential statement which is oxymoronismo to me:
“My mom, she had good old-fashioned liberal, progressive values but she wasn’t involved in politics and my favorite president is a Republican named Abraham Lincoln.”
Liberals, in my mind, have always been non-reactionary, progressive, duh. This precludes being old-fashioned if one is liberal. This is oxymoron country, in this old man's opinion.
This is NOT criticism of the man's attempts to do the impossible. It is only an observation that he should have had a better talk with his speech writers.
All the same, I'd like to declaim,
Maybe liberalism is just the same as conservatism under the blankets?
And yet the good gents 'over there' got to belabor the product of our founding fathers, a good enough political system, as long as you don't become too involved, and agitate and be foolish in front of thousands, but then that's their own damn business and none of my own.
Rants dressing is not available for this political salad that I've served up. So sorry.
In the words of Patrick Henry, owner of the Blue Fox Bistro in Williamsburg, "I regret that I only have Russian, French, and some old, old vinaigrette, suh, but the croutons are fresh."
This has been a paid non-political post.
You wanna talk politics, head to the Blue Fox. It's on the right side of the road, though, I gotta warn ya.
