Rode BMX in the skatepark last night for an 1:30. About as much workout as my hour roadbike ride the day before.

Had three gnarly crashes (last time I was on a 20" bike was probably 25 years ago), one dropping the pool when tire skated on the first carve, once when I looped-out coming off a ramp (BMX chainstays are REALLY short), and once when I lost foot contact with a pedal mid-air and raked a 9" gash down my shin on landing. How did I overlook the shin guards? They are n00b essential!

Returned the bike to the store today. That shitz too dangerous for old n00bs!

Started P90X again. That was after 2 weeks of stretching out and after recovering from Hernia surgery on Dec. 2nd. The first workout was good. Hope to get under 160 this time around. After I finished Zodiac this Fall I was at 161. But I think I was a bit dehydrated. Gunna take a run up Mt Hood this weekend that should be good for a few calories burned. Got to get me some more ice

We anchored the crack machine to the top of the Grotto Ceiling Simulaor with a ratchet mechanism and webbing.

Ryan D,

...some sort of sandstone?

Well yes, it is orthoquartzite which among other things fractures across the sand grains and not so much along the cementing agent/lines thus making the bulk strength of it some what stronger than sandstone ordinaire.

Did a bunch of framing in cold temps: hauling lumber, climbing up and down stairs with tool bags, lifting skil saw, sawzall, hanmmer drill, swinging hammer, running material through the table saw, pounding in masonry anchors with a cut off sledge hammer, banging on the cat's paw and punch . . . perfect alpine training on a gorgeous sunny San Juan day in January.

Don't tell me I didn't get any exercise.

I envy your setup Dingus.

3 Fox laps today! wheeeee!

Funny, I just went to that rig for the first time a few days ago. Also got on it 3 times.

On my 3rd go, I got my left foot stuck in the crack right before the move into the offwidth. There's that little dish on the left wall where you just want to put it. Well, when I went to step up I could not get it to come out. I pulled and pulled and it wasn't happening. I then pulled very violently and pulled myself right off and fell. I was on top rope but the rope stretched enough that I was almost upside down with my foot wedged in there. F**king OUCH!!

Luckily I had a cam on my harness that I was able to put in and clip to, to take the weight off. Even so, it took me several minutes to extract my foot. I was getting close to trying to untie my shoe and pull my foot out and simply leave a fixed mythos in there.

From now on, my foot either goes below or above that spot.

Took my non climbing wife and a visiting friend into Eldo. It looked great in the sun, but I was designated guide to the approach trails.
