Morning Charley.
You beat me to the punch, but I'll spike it anyways.
Looking forward to the weekend. Yet no climbing, all the rock will be weaping anyways. I'll be out in my WFR class enjoying the weather, whether it is sunny, rainy, snowy, windy, sleety, or freezing rain...
I can't get enough coffee today. I'll be programming... Yippie... (<<<----- cant you just smell that excitement!)

I've always wanted to take a WFR course. No real justification for it though. Even if I got certified, can you imagine lying on the ground, dieing of a snake bite or internal injuries from whatever misfortune has befallen you and wandering down the trail comes me? I sure as hell wouldn't want to see that.
Morning all. I'll take some of that bacon and some coffee please.

which leads to 2 of my 3 favorite quotes..
"Don't worry this won't hurt me a bit" and the bleeding one ;)
mm amputation.. reminds me of the BSA's old lifeguarding protocol.. to rescue a struggling swimmer give them a nice punch to the head to knock them out and then drag them in. 
so not only drowning but with a head injury as well
well i had an amusing as hell moment this morning.. 4 of the track girls found a way to fit all their shins in the cold whirlpool at once.. all wearing the little neoprene toe cozy's

Yeah, the BSA lifeguard icludes trainig for swimming in remote locations where a rescue buoy or pole may not be available. And the bit about cold-cocking someone has always been an absolute last resort measure.
Plus, you know how many time's I've taken one on the jaw nad m'I jsut fnie. drain bamage is nto a reel cunsern.

Morning, gang. More coffee for me, black, please. It's 8 am and I've already been up for 4 hours.
48 hour shift at work, then off to cover a multi-team rugby tourney on Sat/Sun. Seems the players have been known to get hurt from time to time and the organizers want medical staff, "just in case."
I will have some grits, too, if anyone is cooking.

But I don't want eggs and bacon! Could I please have Belgian waffles, yogurt and fruit salad? Or at least a special-order omelet?
Coffee would be good though. Parent-teacher conferences at 7:30 am are not meant for people who climb until 11 pm the night before...

NO! You'll have bacon and eggs and you'll like it! Why, when I was a kid, we had to walk uphill for 3 miles in the snow, barefoot, and then wait 6 hours for the damn chicken to pop out an egg. You should be grateful!
Oh, and Kachoong??
In reply to: Grits - Bleechhkk!!!

Buenos días gente...
Woke up in a great mood, 2 hours in the office and I am already grumpy as hell...
I'll take a HUGE black coffee (no sugar, no milk), bacon, eggs, grits... the works.
Marge, I actually stopped drinking coffee first thing in the morning because on those rare occasions that I couldn't have it, my temper was so bad it usually got me in trouble.
Have a good one everybody...

We had to walk for 6 miles one-way, and carry AK47s to make the farmers more eager to part with their chicken eggs. Maybe THAT's why I don't want eggs? Besides, I'm a mother now, *I* get to tell my kids what they are going to eat AND like it, too.

Pulling them under was another... That one was my fav.
Similar tactics are used in the Corps' WSQ course

Morning peeps. I'll take a coffee with some creamer..no likker just yet. It's been a decent morning..got some blog technical issues fixed, might be gettin' another client (more $$ to support myself) or three in the next week.
AND I'm going to PHX next weekend...climbing will be had. And a lot of other fun times.
Remind me not to need SAR any time ever! I'll take a punch in the head over being pulled under tho. Yikes.

Trad grits is the same as Polenta :DUCKS: well it is! :takes blow to the head: corn meal in liquid cooked.. ooof
Yea.. it's amazing how dunking someone who's already having issues lets them know who's now in charge lol luckily i haven't had to make any major rescues as a lifeguard but i can imagine the fun conversations if someone was being a handful. "buddy you better chill out because i can tread water WAY longer than you so i can wait."
it was in the Guardian where Costners guy broke the guy's nose cuz he was fighting. And i totally see the uses for it.. i just think it's funny to think about.

No shit? Holler if you want to climb. I'm off 7th through 10th. Or even if you just want to get a green chile burger and a beer from Greaswood Flats.

Nice! Didn't know you were there. I am visiting a good friend and we'll be in Sedona from the Fri night til Sunday. We were thinking of climbing possibly on Sunday afternoon. I'll let you know if we figure something out for sure. Just meeting up would be cool too. I'll be in touch!
