we can play it by ear on the yoga.

I can also do a private lesson if anyone likes.

i'll be at Todd's all day. Per the norm I don't get to climb - just slice fish.

(I hope nobody took the Sushi Nazi comment seriously ;-)

I'm not a big fan of the joe's sake. I prefer something like Sayuri or some other non-filtered cold sake.

I am getting hungry reading this thread. Wish we could be there! Unfortunately, like Todd's wife had up thread, I've let my carpal tunnel go untreated for far too long. Doc says I gotta stick close in case my condition progresses to some sort of labor and delivery.

Hope you all have a great time! This event couldn't benefit a better guy.

Thanks everybody for your help and generosity!

This is the final update I will make to the auction item list, as I am shortly leaving for California.

I expect this to be an awesomely ripping party!!!!!

I am really stoked for this weekend.
I am not in shape for climbing, I can help out a bunch so somebody else can go climb on Saturday. I should be there Friday afternoon.
Should I stop in at the Gordon Ranch to "check in?" Or just see you all about 11ish on Saturday? That's about as early as I can rally the Finner.

I may be persuaded to grunt my way up something easy with the old dad's and gal's on Sunday.

ho man, I got a lot of work to do in less than 48 hours!
Just got out of Tuolumne and am whipped, too much sun!

Does any one but me want any unagi? Nature, can you do something with that? Any other fish preferences out there?

Dale- sorry you cannot make it. I spent some time watching you do laps on the crack machine at DR's, with the tunes cranking from the van. You made it look so effortless.

I was (am) a wanker, but watching you flow on that machine is etched in my mind. Just listening to the tunes and appreciating the movement.

Cheers Man.

EDIT MAJOR OOPS: Long day, I saw pewf and read it as perswig. Amanda, I hope you are good.

John - I ordered unagi from San Diego.

Also, Anago is salt water eel. It's really similar and I prefer it.

yum!

But the freshwater eel is now invading Florida as an exotic.
Its really devastating native species, but as it proliferates I bet the price will go down.

Interesting to note that kudzo, long a curse, has turned out to be a viable fuel alcohol source.

But alien species is generally a bad idea, even at a Tarbuster benefit.
