Patrick, you're getting HOOKERS in the mail???
Isn't that, like, "interstate transportation of illegal sexual services" or something???
I don't know... How does the Post Master feel about that?
Well, I hope you LIKE your Hookers... as long as its cool with your wife.
Anyway, I missed VE tonight... I know... I have an excuse though... I had to work late this morning and didn't get home and to bed until 11am. So, I had a bit of a tough time getting OUT of bed this evening... I think I'll try Friday afternoon...
And, I noticed why73 said VE Duluth is closed Sundays for the winter season... If that isn't the stupidest thing I've ever heared... If they wanna trim hours, they should do it in the summer when its nice out and everyone wants to climb outside!
Oh well, catch yall later...
Dann

Okay guys, since Jeff is still gone and I had to do his for him, here is how you have a marquee. First go into edit profile, then in the city spot type
text You don't want any spaces in between, I had to add them so it didn't put the marquee in the post. Shelly

Argh, that bugs me Why. Sundays used to be one of my favorite times to go to the gym cuz there were very few people besides the regulars there. Easy access to all the climbs. But not anymore...oh well

Thanks Shelly... Even if we don't use it, at least we know what it is now...
sheeesh, I really need to get a book or something... It's just that, all my reading time is usually spent on climbing/mountanineering books or my favorite novel. Don't have much patience for technical computer crap...
HEY Everyone... Most of you got post cards but if you didn't and you're interested, Vertical Endevors is having their "Fabulous Yearly Membership Sale!" (a killer deal if I ever saw one!).
The Duluth VE's sale is Sat. Feb. 22nd, 7:30-8:30pm.
The St. Paul VE's sale is Sun. Feb. 23rd, 6:30-7:30pm.
Both sales are 1 hour ONLY! Ya snooze, ya lose! And, your membership is good at all three VE's (St. Paul, Duluth, Chicago). You MUST be there in person with app and check in hand to get the deal.
$209 + tax for an adult and $50 for your kid if applicable...
Alright, well, January is almost over. Hopefully taking the really cold stuff with it. February is on the way and if I'm lucky, will have at least 1 day I can climb outside...
In the nearer future, I'll be at VE Monday about 4pm... See yall there (well, Les I'm sure anyway).

Ummmmm, I'm probably not going to be there right at 4pm... Our daycare provider went on a cruise and isn't going to be back until tonight so, I had to pick up Alyssa after work this morning. I'm dropping her at her moms work about noon and then going home to take a nap.
Consequently, I'm not sure that I'll be able to get up at 3 to be at VE by 4.
So, I'll be there, just not possitive what time...
See ya there...
Dann

Hey guys - sorry I didn't make it tonight. I had all of my gear with me, and was going to head there straight from work. But (yeah, the classic 'but') we had a little fire at work this afternoon, and I was the only programmer around, so guess who got to stay late and fix everything. Fun fun fun. Oh well... That's what they pay me for.
I'm planning on going to VE on Wednesday night, but am planning on taking the clinic that they are putting on - Breaking the 5.10 Barrier. But if anyone is around before or after that, I'll be up for a few climbs or some add-on.
Otherwise, there is always next Monday!
I hope you guys had fun!!!
OH yeah - Dann, it might hit 40 on Friday and Saturday. This could be your shot at getting some February (outdoors) climbing in!
Climb on!
Craig

Sorry you missed tonight Craig! I am glad to hear you're taking that class at VE though... Then you can pass the secrets on to us and give us a little coaching, eh...

I'll be at VE Wednesday. I was hoping to try out my new shoes, but the things are at least a full size too small! There is no way that these are size 9.5!
Jeff and I did make it to Duluth on Saturday instead of Sunday. I didn't get to hike as far as I wanted, but we camped outside one of the two nights and ended up doing some real outdoor climbing at Carlton Peak. We had to climb really easy stuff in gloves and snow boots, but it was better than nothing.
It was cool when we stopped at the Temperance river and walked all the way up to the falls on thick ice. I never would have thought that that river actually would freeze solid. It was so quiet too. When I saw that river in the Summer it was roaring. All we could hear was a gurgling sound through the ice. Maybe some day I will get the guts to try ice climbing.

Come on Patrick, BUCK-UP and stuff your feet in those things...
Yeah, the Mad Rocks run pretty small... You should've tried some Anasazis on first and then gone up a 1/2 size... Or, you could've asked how they were sizing before you ordered them...
See ya tonight...

WOW! January's over... In a couple hours anyway. That went fast...
I can't believe no one has posted up here in the last couple days.
Well, say Good Bye! to January and Hello! to February. Lots of us have trips this month; hope every one has fun (Ed, Jay, Craig, Patrick, Jeff, and Curt)! I have to wait till its nice out for my trip... But, OH, the sweet anticipation!
Anyhow, let's all hope February holds some WARM days and NO rain. Maybe I can get a day in out at Barns... Huh Les, whatta ya think?
On another note, VE's annual Passion for Flashin' climbing comp is next weekend. Come on out and climb or cheer everyone on.
Check yall later!
