There were others who saw this, but were on their way to work and don't have cell phones or I'm sure it would have been reported a bit earlier.

NO nitrogen bubbles here.
During a recent meeting between HPWREN Principal Investigator Hans-Werner Braun and CDF Captain Steve Shoemaker at the Helitack base at Gillespie Field, collaborations regarding data networking technology for both the station and the aircraft were discussed.
Apparently Der Herr has been moonlighting. You'd think with his penchant for accuracy he'd demand a correction of Han- to Herr, wouldn't you?
That's the High Performance Research and Education Netwrok.
HPWREN PI Werner Braun is ready for the flight. CDF rules require wearing fire protecting Nomex clothing and a flight helmet.
Feel free to fast foward through. It's kind of like watching the grass grow only worse. You'd think these scientists would have heard about time-lapse compression.

This is apparently now The Smoke, a new thread.
Nice little flare-up the last two or so minutes.
Fireweed in your lawn?
Call Herr Werner Braun.

Gene, the ride to Fresburg collapsed, I have another appt. for pre-op shite in about two weeks.
Vern failed to meet me on the second, didn't call, and when I called him that night, he said his alarm failed, there is a hole in one of his tires (same ones that were on the Red Roadent when I sold it to him.)
He's not the type of friend I need, so I'm not giving them any more chances to screw me over. They owe me lots on the car still, and this month I've not received the half payment they have been making for most of last year, nor has Vern contacted me about it.
I'm damned pissed and looking to repo the car soon.
I'm hanging in there with the twinges, but the coughing is bad and I can't see me going anyplace or doing anything strenuous at all till this is fixed.
I'm a homebody and taking it real real slow.
You know, watching the Dawn Wall epic has not been high on my agenda, because?
1. I figured they would make it if the weather held and there were no injuries.
2. I'm so out of it physically that I can't even imagine my making it up a "dead 5.0" at this point and watching them do such extreme things really twists me.
But I feel a lot of pride in these California Natives who are so "attached" to their project. And I can't believe that it's been 46 yrs. since I watched Warren and Dean climb over the rim to all the hoopla.
Here is a very good link from the Fresburg station about the shebang. Interviews with Tommy's lady, Kevin's dad, and their pal Alex Honnold.

Last time I checked there were only 2181 posts with the exact phrase "Dawn Wall".
You need deeper analysis than that? I'm writing a tutorial on Internet Research fot the Aspiring STaco Poster.
I'm planning on releasing it timed to correspond with the LMPL Marijuana book, which I hear is closer to publication that it was yesterday.
Anyway, as far as posts go, we had to put this up to keep the pigs from coming in and grabbing our waves.

richly colored
focal length of 25-600 mm
compact
sounds like it's worth the money
that's my two cents
have you a really GOOD tripod?
it will make a world of difference because it just will
if i had the cash, i'd lay aside the canon and get one
but that's just me and i'm guy who hates shopping
i'm the guy who has no family to keep fed, clothed and warm
i would have no reason to regret the purchase every single time that i clicked the shutter like you may
i'm putting the guilt trip on you, Gnome
i don't know what you do for a living
nor how much dinero you bring home
if i did know then i could put you on a better guilt trip yet
or you could just shop around

you should listen to mama, actually...
in case Patrick Sawyer is looking in, this is YV when simply "draped with snow."
it's mellow, but there's no comparison with a real dumping
check your email, Gnome
i've sent you some tunas

That right there,^^is were i would love to be! ~ well not right now but in late spring or late fall..(is that Bushido? and was i supposed to go deep as I did not)
 .
As to the Question What Is Next I know you care less and less, but since you did not ask, What might get free d next on ElCap? .
Born Under a Bad Sign?, Chinese Water Torture? The Water Fall Route?
Three Two Free??
/.,..,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,., .... . ../Not You And NOT me
but seams . . .
that might go free?!!
So many years ago I had to stop to count...
I was the ward of the family Shinn.
They were the electrical as well as very Merrill lynch.
My pal was the youngest boy of a family of four older goyls,
his personal confusion not withstanding he came from a family of giants.
Big as in all over six/four tall. Mother, Father, not twins just catholic and so
they had five kids,. . . two by 'mistake?'
That is how we victims relate, it is in the family pudding
Earthquake, breaking news . . . we find in common what we find in ourselves that remains
Unresolved!
Singing the blues ?? well you have to suffer to sing'em sweet. and sir that suffering I salute!
the family that is not mine that lives far north of you in Lodi ,
well,
should the cousin by marriage,
a guy named Rob Petzold!? really, strange,
-climbing name-, and I feel that they must in someway be related?(to Paul of Wyoming )
back to my point . . .if you need me to yank some string and ask a stranger for a ride??
You should shop around for better!
My mamma told me, you had better shop around,
I tried to buy off mine but that only lasted for so long. . .
My mamma told tales on me, you can not buy a new mom.
I had better shop around
but she goes south
not far enough
but past Curaçao,
Not Corasow, that does not exist,
Corseaux is in Switzerland
they have the schwizzel granite, aye?
And a too high cost of living . . .Nay e
that is how the vow breaks !
Mother in-law wears red to the wedding,
gambles away the education and gives em'
Calendars from the oil company for Christmas
And calls to rub it in . . .
Protect the children, be glad the wife loves yor rotting soul. . .
they would all leave me and sweet mum too. . .
if her sisters were not worse or if I were a Jew!
