I'm going to assume that blutarski knew this info, and just didn't feel like saying anything, because he's an asshole. of course, we've had promises of its publication for yearz now ... Is that the guy who said he's gonna have to re-shoot the pics again in color? Who shoots pics exclusively in B&W in these digital days?

I keep waiting for the guy in charge of the plant to call to get her picked up. I don't know how much I really want to try to wrestle her to the SPCA myself. Just wait till she bumps into a machine, gets picked up by the robot, attached to the inside of the back of a backseat, and then you can buy the car cheaps as a defect with bonus kitty attached.

Lets melt some snow. Walking through the back yard my legs go 18" into the snow pack before stopping, so we must have at least 24" still on the ground.

I had no intention of working from home! Cept, I actually have some work to due. We had snowmagedon here last week, I stayed home until 11 then couldn't stand it anymore, so I drove in. It was like a ghost town with no one on the roads. It was quiet. The roads weren't bad though. I drove to Elora and finished equipping some routes. If I would have known ewe were home I would have made you come along to belay. That would have been a better option than going to work.

And btw, sorry about last night. They said you didn't show :( my fault. Probably a good choice on not coming to the film. Didn't get out of there until 11:10

So I went to the Banff film fest last night. 10 films. Three really good. The one about Dean Potter doing "free base" on Eiger was interesting. The other was about Ueli Steck, speed climber.

tripperjm wrote: Anyways, here's teh deal. There is a lot of water flowing, tons of rock debris and logs churning in teh raging water. It looks like it wood be possible to move several tons of material around and rebuild a patio at teh base of teh cliff and a couple of islands in teh river. Wood has to lash sum of teh logs together to build a bridge to get from teh base back to teh hang. I figure it wood take a couple of guys several days to produce this result. It wood be loud down there though... but ewe could climb teh best climbs in socak. Question is, wood it be worthwhile? Wood anybody be willing to help. Teh other problem is it might awl wash down stream when teh snow melts. Certainly wood be easier to just wait untill june, do teh werk then and has it last untill next winter or for several seasons depending on how wet of winters we get. I'm going to keep thinking about it for another week or so, probibly go back down and check it again before I decide anything. Also there wood be no way to walk up stream, wood has to construct sum sort of via feretta down from teh look out, that wood be safe enough to do with a pack. snupe and AB, get on this. Have it completed by the third week of March.
