I hadn't heard the Thong family closed on a house, but Mrs. Thong is some sort of Real Estate Maven, so it is not surprising?

You have a lot more time, and I have a much lower starting point. but nots to quit climbing. i duntz want to quit climbing, just wheyn it has gotten fun again. also, you and the three muskateers seem to have a problem reading two posts in a row, but mah challenge was "most improved CA trad redpoint, considering the last 5 years." Well, that one is kinda silly. For those of us who live and climb here, that number goes up one letter at a time generally. For those who came to the valley with their Wet Tent one time like 4 years ago and did a 5.9, it will be easy to show up and fire a .10d day one.
Trad Redpoint?

Could do $20? I don't have any sculpture supplies so deduct that expense from what would be my gazzillion dollar entry into the pool would be (dickblick.com has been my favorite cheap site for years) Will this piece be functional or form? We should have a 'theme' too. it will be hard for those of us boarding planes for the meatup to bring a concrete sculpture. onzite sculpture? Maybe tripper can supply us with the cement from that huge stash he keeps in his garage. Used most ov that pouring walkways. Still, even spec mix (mortar), witch is more expensive than concrete is only about $3.25 a 60lb bag. Cheap. Who wood have thunk that Jack knew so much about concrete?
It didn't surprise me.

Just killed a rattler with the first strike of a shovel. It was down next to the dog pens, with one of the dogs lying down next to the fence barking at it. It was just out of reach from the dogs, luckily, so I jumped teh fence with a shovel, threw dirt on it to piss it oft and uncoil it a little, then struck.
I severed it just above the brainstem apparently because when I went to cut oft its rattle the decapitated thing struck at me with its stump. Nearly shat myself. Crikey!

If it was presenting its self as a threat and not just pissing off the dog(s) then sure thing. Otherwise, why'd you kill it? They do a great job at what they do, which is keep rodents and other small creatures at bay.
Save it, clean it, and eat it! It's pretty good. There are skinning directions and recipes on the intardnet, if anything, save the skin.
Saw a two-bud rattler on our way out from climbing last night. I was in the lead on snake patrol with my trekking poles and it was enjoying the last of the day's heat on the trail. Beautiful snake. We stood there for a moment, discerned because it was too dark to take a pic, but i eventually shooed it off.

Usually on the ranch we leave them alone, but the boss says that it's fair game if within 100 yards of living quarters, which this was. I could have gone to get the snake forceps but thawt it may bite a dog while I went off to get it, so I grabbed the shovel.
We have already skinned and gutted it to put on the barbie later. I don't really like the taste... it's also very tough meat. Usually the pieces will also writhe on the grill once the heat hits them.

It was down next to the dog pens, with one of the dogs lying down next to the fence barking at it. It was just out of reach from the dogs, luckily, so I jumped teh fence with a shovel, threw dirt on it to piss it oft and uncoil it a little, then struck. I severed it just above the brainstem apparently because when I went to cut oft its rattle the decapitated thing struck at me with its stump. Nearly shat myself. Crikey!

Otherwise, why'd you kill it? They do a great job at what they do, which is keep rodents and other small creatures at bay. Save it, clean it, and eat it! It's pretty good. There are skinning directions and recipes on the intardnet, if anything, save the skin. Saw a two-bud rattler on our way out from climbing last night. I was in the lead on snake patrol with my trekking poles and it was enjoying the last of the day's heat on the trail. Beautiful snake. We stood there for a moment, discerned because it was too dark to take a pic, but i eventually shooed it off. Usually on the ranch we leave them alone, but the boss says that it's fair game if within 100 yards of living quarters, which this was. I could have gone to get the snake forceps but thawt it may bite a dog while I went off to get it, so I grabbed the shovel. We have already skinned and gutted it to put on the barbie later. I don't really like the taste... it's also very tough meat. Usually the pieces will also writhe on the grill once the heat hits them.
Grill?!!!!
You need to brine the meat for a few hours first, and give it a moist bake. I usually cut them into 3-5" lengths and lightly season them before baking. A Dutch oven works wonders with them too. You can add a little bbq sauce and slow roast the meat. It comes out tender that way. Grilling is a quick way to over cook the meat, which sounds like what is happening. Remember that there is more meat near the spine and significantly less by the belly. It doesn't take much to over cook it. And if it is a little tender (undercooked) ala Texas Sushi style it's good too. But yeah, if it's overcooked it gets too tough. Other than that, if you prep the meat like chicken, it tastes like chicken. If you prep it like fish, it tastes like fish. Etc...
I like me some good rattler.

I had snake in Cambodia and Laos, it was quite tasty. Steak-like, but not overly tough. Was probably brined though.

Well that sounds much better. Will need to try this. Maybe in a seasoned bath in a deep aluminium pan on the grill?
We don't normally cook snake... more so dove, pig and quail.

The thought of fresh quail made me salivate.
