Ho my I keep losing every thing,
The stop.
The cut & paste,
The commands of this tablet confuse the budless and have led to a kind of fury in me!
This will not look well reasoned or thought out
and run on
shoot me
damn thing erased three hours of midnight ramblings.
I will try to recoupe but that never works.
re the green Chevelle or is it A Nova?
(the inability to post type and photos means that either I attend to the '123'And Go back and 'Caption'or ask way out of sequence about trite and most likely off topic stuff.)
any way earlier I had written a whole thing about a similar car,
A '69 candy coated coffee brown coupe
(Sparkling metallic not siht brown as some teased).that had an off center white triple
stripe.
The car was Cherry and very Gettho in a good ,cool way ... except it was driven by Dan Baldinni, a white kid, an alter boy who was at best a geek.
(the family lived across the street and believed in Church, school, home and cars to keep the kids off the street ... on the straight and narrow.)
Before it failed to make a turn at forty five miles an hour. . .
that car , a hand me down, took on the high school kids and older grease monkey guys alike.
Torinos And Chargers and Novas as n'siht. We ran against TeeBirds 'nd new '76 Trans Am's,
dragg Racin' on Saturday nights!
that is an attempt to recreate some fleeting story. I have left out the wit the adventure and so it really has no point but to post nothing after all that I wrote was too hard to suffer.
I. should try again.
That was the idea to set up a bunch of pictures that might work like cairns showing the way to what I was writing or thinking about.

As my camera gently weeps it is fuzzy off to the right where the water rests.The spill out of the Coxing kill as it leaves split rock on it's way to the nude sunning that goes on down stream and is a popular spot with men?? Old men mostly.
No touching or groping or any of that goes on; just old johnsons hanging out,
and there is nothing wrong that.
It is a bucolic spot.
but
Whazup wid dat??
Hey Happie are you lurking?
What is up, down stream at splt rock? in the Gunks?
Real and for real this has been a Nudee spot for at Least 100years.
Only in the last twenty or so have the east cost girls grown more modest,
worried that someone might take pictures and put on bathing suits. and there is nothing wrong with that!

From Clark. The Merced drainage is so effing rad - just remote enough that hasn't been exploited yet.

Well this was gravity at work. Today the sun came out and the mercury dropped.
So I took off to try and spy the ice that almost snuffed me. It should be starting to set up.
The thing is the cliff is basically in the kitchen cabinet /counter showroom parking lot.
Dinettes ala 1957 cubicles all in a row
Showing how this or that style of square box will hang on your wall.
With a fancy ubiquitous pull nob and color pattern,
Insuring
conformity if not comfort
and
Meisen pla'ce.( a place for every thing and every thing in it's place)
I was digressed because the Gavity test was just so typically s00pid of me.
A Charlie Brown moment that is worthy of calling me, Chuck.
That is if euw did not already have an eechuckawacca, to worry about.
I slipped and rolled and bashed into a scrapy tree at the edge of the same thirty foot drop as what i fell offt already once in 20 out 14! knott that the number of the year makes a difference.
It was a longish patch of ice
Glazing the top of the eastern moss choss top of a parking lot no place to die kind of moment!
Again !
This time in day light with the kids at home and the Holidays and all. . . I was going to die!!
I tore a slash on the pocket of a soft shell style jacket trying to self arrest.
I really didn't hurt any thing this time just bruises and scrapes and such.
Lucky. . .
I was doing the recon to see if this year I could get a Fat Ice At The Top situation.
With an added couple of thirty gallon cans to provide water to drain over the mossy choss at the edge and all over the top to create,
Ice all the way to a safe spot.
Plans were not entirely formed before I got to the top of the cliff,
as the conditions would dictate what was the best line to the edge.
The wet spot was not running, maybe a trickle.
In the sun you could catch the shine of the verglass on the rocks.
The approach down to the edge is boggy and not frozen.
To stop from getting wet feet I was rock hopping.
I was twenty feet from the edge when the long step to a flat rock took me out.
Scrappy tree done saved another one!
Huh, where have I heard that before?

gravity sucks...standing in the vacuum of his sighs
weej contemplates his image in the pee pot
he thinks he drinks cuz he has nothing maids
mostly in a row but some escape like drops over the rim
and some fall down his leg resembling dead drunk danish dames
that have been punched by r.carter
himself a victim of paterson (or patterson)
innocent man gilded with golden liquid
poured into shots by amber the tender
and the rest lined up at the other end o the bar

So I had this freaked out dream last night.
I was IN A CLIMBING GYM and that's freaky enough by itself.
As I was between laps on a HVAC route (the Brutish rating ssysstem), resting, this weirdo lady comes over and starts up a conversation, mostly about her new slippers.
I'm wearing old school RDs in brown split leather with red laces.
Her topic changed to the habits which she enforced on herself to insure her safety on the gym walls. She'd never led anything, hated the thought of drying wind and sun, and did yoga before her t'ai chi which she did before roping up.
I took a pic and she didn't strike me as too awful.
Then I had to go and ruin my prospects when I began telling her about doing wide cracks in my heyday in Camp 4.
As I launched into a story about Generator Crack, she interrupted me and said, SCATHING ME WITH A VENOMOUS LOOK,
"Why, you're on of those TRAD CLIMBERS! One of those BING BONG PEOPLE!"
I laughed at her back, saying, "I'll bet you can't say it right the second time, either, sister."
HAPPY NEW YEAR, MooseDrool, dicoverer of Cyanetski (patent pending), the revolutionary new product for all downhill racers.

Best advice I can give is to follow the advice of the medicine man and stay out of those chlamydia gyms, stop all your weeping and swallow your pride.
You will not die, it's not poison.

Probably better to speak for them than at them. Alternatively, you could sing to them.
Towards that end I've included some lyrics and chords for you. Get yourself a satellite (forget about all about that macho shit!!) and bombard them from outer space. Siriusly.
(G) I'll sing you a true song of (D) Billy the (G) Kid
I'll (D) sing the record of (G) deeds that he did
Way out in Merced a long time (D) ago
When a (G) man's only friend was his (D) own forty- (G) four
On another front. "Comments for this video have been disabled", but feel free to have at it anyway. They haven't been together that long and you can't really dance to it (unless you're an uncoordinated chlamydia type) but I'm still giving it a 6 on the Brown-O-Meter.

I over-stepped. Trad climbers are too proud to let another speak for them.
I over-slept. Bad climbers are too many to get another crack at it.
Every one of them knows it leads nowhere, but do it all the same because their friends did.
Mothers universally ask their babies about cliffs and friends.
"It's all right, Ma, it's not broken. I only fell 35,700 km at an angle of 1.157 degrees, HVAC."
"Wait till your father gets home, Keester."

It is mighty tempting, but only for "arf a mo," to bring Rotting Johnny's name into this, but it IS Gravedigger, shown above.
Respond to the satellite thread, Fall Potential, see the man by the name of Reilly. And be glad for a bight of rope.
What is daring doo? Trad leading.
