good news: sold five made-to-order oil pastel on glass paintings. bad news: the family member of a friend wants me to be at the wedding (thus the purchases) good news: I'm going to a wedding in the US. bad news: I need more family members to get me to more weddings (thus more purchases)

Family being closer might actually mean more climbing because then it would mean fewer committed weekends (I'm assuming, but I can see the other side, too). Same industry?

So far the local equipment manufactures have taken a pass on me, and my coworkers too.

After 9 days in Golden, and 3 days of actively looking, we are finally locating houses/cabins in the area that fit our price budget for renting. We are looking at a house on 41 acres this afternoon, just a couple miles off I-70 but in the foothills of Golden. And a post on the Taco has already led to a job offer. I'll meet with the guy early next week once we put the RV in storage and start staying with the wife's cousin 1/2 hour west of Boulder.

As for now, I'll just have to continue floating the Clear Creek Whitewater Park in my $20 inflatable tube like its my job.

No climbing here yet, I have had a pinched nerve or something which is giving me shooting pains down my whole left leg and its painful to walk. The cool creek water feels good on it though...

Well save Table Mtn. till the winter. It's pretty toasty up there this time of year.

Well save Table Mtn. till the winter. It's pretty toasty up there this time of year. The weather here has actually been fairly cool, but thanks for the bit-a-beta. One of my NH climbing & FA buddies has been out here for a month already and has scouted out an amazing looking crag in Colorado's newest state park, "It's all about two pitches; bad ass easy to hard." And completely undeveloped. Top secret location. Top secret. Today's house viewing didn't yield much. One was a gorgeous place, but 25 minutes away from town up winding roads to 9500' elevation. Too long of a winter, and commute to potential work. Another was not bad and right in the old town historic section of Evergreen, but we could never get the storage POD in the road to the place. The one on 41 acres has a 1/3 mile dirt driveway that we would need to get plowed, also in a high snow area. We are expanding our search to include townhouses in Golden and Louisville. Less privacy and trees, but both are walking distance to downtown and next to tons of parks and bike paths, not to mention front range rock.
