Went for am 11km run Saturday morning then went for coffee with the other runners while Nathan slept. Didn't leave for the cliff until around noon, which was okay because it gets morning sun.
Had one good go on the route I was working there and then all went to hell for me. WTF. Hopefully because the run zapped too much of my glycemic stores? Great for weight loss bad for climbing?
Nathan climbed like crap. He showed up in Owen Sound sick. Sunday it would have been good to climb, but we just hung out and did a whole lot of nothing. I did get out for a nice 35km ride while Nathan took a nap.
Monday we went back to the same cliff. I had 4 good burns on that route, and I kept falling around the same spot. 4+ the one burn I did from the first crux to the top after I fell off the last time. Sucks that I didn't send, but I'm psyched that I could give the route 4.5 good redpoint attempts. I'm going with glycemic stores depletion on Saturday.
Nathan climbed far far better, even though he should have been sicker. He left at 3:30am from my place this morning, which won't be good for him trying not to be sick. I'd feel worse for him except that he's done with his jorb this coming Friday and will be able to get sick amount of sleep after that.

His TOE, not nose! It was wet, he slipped while clipping the 3rd bolt, and decked.

gee, climbing in the afternoon after doing an 11k run in the morning? Yeah, I'll go with depletion of everything, including common sense. 
I noticed for myself though that I don't climb as well when I go to an afternoon crag, even if I did nothing more strenuous that button-pushing and butt-lounging all morning. And it's not that i have low energy in the afternoon in general. If we go at a regular morning time, I am still fine climbing at ~2p.m. In fact, most of my redpoints happen in the early afternoon time frame, if you go with the warm-up, do one burn to hang draws, send 2nd go sort of thing.
But when we hike to the cliff at noon? I'm just less energetic somehow. That's one thing that is a bit of a bummer about Xzzz.

What the fuck. How did I read nose?
Did I mention I woke up 45min late this morning? It's been a rough start.

no, everybody hates those things, except the people actually using them.

Weakend report: Laborious Day was busy, hot, humid, and rainy. Seriously, the dry, cool summer temps (during which I mostly spent hanging bored) finally gave way to sticky smarm. There were some highpoints, though:
-a formerly-popular area which was recently closed just got its gate torn apart by local redneck vigilantes who want to four wheel in the area. Word got around, though on the DL, and so we went out there and had an awesome carg to ourselves on the busy Saturday. I guess this is one benefit of four wheelers.
-Some douchenozzles were up blasting music until 2am at the cg, and so I got the sweet pleasure (after hearing a bunch of complaints from their neighbors), or kicking their tent and 7am, taking their money, and chewing them out. It was awesome.
-went to the Colesseum where it was pouring rain and packed with refugees from every corner of Scummersville. There was a constant line-up of dudes getting bouted on Apollo Reed. I kept trying to secure a place in line, but then would get distracted by swimming or drinking beer. Finally, I got fed up and cut in front of some yahoo who was taking his fourth burn on it; I was like six beers in by this time, and managed a drunk send in front of all the braws. It was awesome.
-Found out that Old Red needs about $400 of work to even pass inspection (new windshield, backup lights, ball joint, aways teh fucking ball joint!). I'm really hoping the AAC takes it as a donation, I'll have to euthanize, Thelma&Louise, or carbecue it. Mega sadface. The mechanic said something like, "hey, at least you got 250k out of it," to which I replied, "It's not dead yet!"
Engine and tranny are awesome. It's just everything else. Grrr.

Yeah, the weekend weather was quite unpleasant. I am hoping that the clouds will empty all the rain out now, and then we will have awesome October/November.

Went outside climbing (whoooo!) since it's finally less hot than hell. Climbing exclusively in the gym has ruined my real climbing, it was super shitty. Plus side though is since I was stuck on Boy Scout routes I led a bunch of them and it feel like I'm getting my lead head back.
I think after my trip I'm only touching real rock for a while, I have weekends to vedauwoo and shelf planned and *hopefully* the creek.
Bad mood today, refer to Grupe. Grr, mo iz steaming.

Sorry to hear about the truck, I felt the same way about Patty but took the $500 trade in from the dealer and ran.

So Nathan's last day of werk was last Friday. He's leaving for Devils Tower tomorrow.
He's taking the Fit and has stuck me with the truck. That fucking thing doesn't fit into most modern parking spots so I'll be finding drive through spots at the back of the lot when I go grocery shopping for a while now.

Is he sure he can fit all those widgets and doohickies into a Fit? How long is he road-tripping?
I hope the trip goes well for him. But I also think that the truck should be painted with daisies by the time he comes back.

there is some agreement around the office that I should pick up this beauty while he's away;
http://www.autotrader.ca/...PO&orup=14_15_26
I dunno, I just don't find the blue that bad, but he told me he wouldn't drive a van in that colour.
And Lena....it's a Fit, of course his gear is going to fit!

That actually looks quite good. Who cares about the color (aside from nathan, obvi).

Nothing a spray-paint won't fix.
I really don't care about the car color in general (o.K., hot pink and neon yellow are a no-no), but that blue is pretty bad. Wouldn't stop me from driving it, but definitely cringe-worthy.

It doesn't have cruise, or we'd be all over it.
Nathan was supposed to call an MB garage today though and see how hard it would be to add it.

It wouldn't be my first choice (or second, or third) but I don't mind it too much. Definitely not big enough of an issue to spend the money to repaint it.

Never had cruise control, so I don't call it a dealbreaker when I look for cars.
