Say what? Did you read that right?
The whole reason I'm still sticking it out here right now (and the past "I lost count how many months') is my responsibility to her and the home.

I'm damn near an accredited Geologist and I am pushing engineerding documents and drawings in a very unglorified manner.

Also, how much to axes cost over there (money saving scheme in mind!) Way cheeper to buy tools over here. I got my DDM Flys for $150 a piece when I bought them. The Taa-k's were more, $280 or something, but that was the first year they were out. You know, while it would be nice to stick with the BD system (right now out of three sets of tools between Nathan and I they're all BD), I really covet the Nomics. Gawd those things are sexy. Too bad money first goes to a new pair of boots. We'll see where we're at finacially after I pick up those. are you getting fruit boots too? I love that to, but first a pair of regular boots that fit me better, then probobly some more screws, then a new pair of tools, and then maybe a set of fruit boots. Not to mentions things like new ropes and such in that list too. Fruit boots are quite a ways off. that doesn't seem quite fair, I mean Nathan has fruit boots.........why can't becca have fruit boots? Chossy buy becca fruit boots now! Now! You heard the king, peasant nathan....buy now

Now, far be it from me to have the greatest sleep schedule, in fact since that ill fated morning Oct. 1 2005 I honestly haven't slept all that well with any regularity, what with the inability to self-medicate with my drug of choice, the stress of the proceedings going on, and my then-recent return to the single life. In a nutshell, my little incident last week was brought on by a severe deficit of sleep (or so we've decided). Statistically, the chances of ever having something like what happened occur again are 50:50, though if it by some quirk it DOES happen again all bets will be off. I'll just have to take those chances. Of course, in the mean time I'll have to do what I can to stack the deck in my favor, try to get myself on some kind of regular sleep schedule and increase the quality of sleep that I DO get. Soo... i guess I'll be off the soloing for a bit till I'm satisfied that it was a one-time event. No driving with the cruise control, no heinous gear leads in my near future either. Hell, who'm I kidding? I haven't done heinous gear leads in quite some time.  Here's hoping it was a one-time thing. Gotta start stackin' the deck in my favor for a bit, catch up on some much needed sleep quality/quantity. Hope that's enough to settle things. Does this mean our VII 5.12 A5 plans in the Fisher Towers are off? Take care of yourself, dude.

I spent all last year updating lockout maps, drawings and safety documetation. I would love to be back doing the boring desk stuff again.

What I would give to be stuck in Squish right now! *sigh* 
My best friend from Aus is turning up with his wife in Van this weekend and will be shocked to find out he can't get up to Squamish. Once he does finally make it he should be able to tear that place up!
