I'm usually up between 4 and 5 a.m. every morning. But I like it because everyone else in the area is still in bed and it's quiet. It's like having world to myself for a few hours.

My neibours start "re-landscaping" every morning at 7. Theyve put down concrete in the yard twice, changed out all the pants 3 times and changed their driveway twice this summer.... I'm getting the feeling they're crazy... and rich.

I'm playing climbing guide on Sunday to a French dude, a Brasilian dude, and two Americans, none of which have climbed at this location before. I've been twice, but I can't remember how to get there. The Brasilian thinks he knows and the French dude has a GPS.
This is going to be fun.

still looking for apartments. It's a pain in the ass. This is nothing like renting in any other country I've ever been to. Found out that I can't go through the rental agencies. While their terms differ, the last one where I put an offer in on the apartment said that I had to pay the monthly rent AND 100% of the FULL-YEAR'S RENT as a deposit (i.e. - IN ADVANCE) to ensure that I was able to pay. Of course, I'd get the money back at the end of the year, but what the hell, who can afford double the rent? I've often found it difficult to do first and last (thankfully I have good enough credit in the US to have never had the need to pay a security deposit).
So now we're looking exclusively at a roommate situation or renting directly from a landlord, the latter of which is kind of difficult to find. Why? Because Brasilians are infamous for not paying for things they aren't attached to. For instance, if you provide a service then they'll pay because there is a relation there, but if they are renting an apt, and possibly never meet the landlord, then it's not theirs so why pay? So, most landlords go through agencies because most agencies go have outrageous demands.
So how do people rent? They get someone to co-sign an apartment. In other words, if the renter doesn't pay, then the co-signor is responsible, and the co-signor has to put up his or her own house (or other tangible asset of value). My response? Fuck that! However, this explains why 40 year-olds who aren't married still live at home...because who can afford to deposit one-year's rent and which parent is willing to sign away the house for the kid's apartment?
I'm gonna go buy a gun.

I haven't down loaded the cards yet. But apparently the wife was about to get out the camera and take some shots of me at the top of Sunday's climbing, when I lowered off.  She was somewhat down the crag from where we were climbing. But the long lens would have gotten a couple good shots. Sew. In addition 2 the little bit of klimbink we do the turon stuff. We visited Bodie Ghost town, and the old mines in Mammoth. Which is a pretty cool tour. Still a fair amount of buildings there. The mines are locked up of course. Word was the mines got .6 oz of Gold for every ton of rock pulled out. We scouted around and ran into a family starting to rework their claim. We found several rocks with tiny tiny flakes of gold in them. We did devils postpile and other general sight seeing. Meet up with several different freinds that were in town. Basically just relaxed. Got the 450+ pics uploaded to da computer last night. The wife got some good pictures of Jake climbink. (but not me  ) She got lots of good scenery and ghost town pics. Eye will has to put some of them on da face book.
450! Thank the lord for digital cameras.
Post a pic or two of that ghost town, eh.

Hell yeah. That place has projects galore so have fun.
