Had an incredible job opportunity drop into my lap just a moment ago. It's a jump to another business unit in the company, but it may just be my meal ticket out of Maine when I want. Plus it puts me full-circle into what I was doing while I was in the Navy.
Talking it over with some not-work friends, family, and of course C tonight.
Amped.

Before we go to nuts we should make sure all the important stuff fits in here. Where are the lists Art? I don't care if there is room. I just took arts recliner. He can sit on the floor. All ninjas sit on the floor don't they? Why not sit in your recliner?

Some toolbag resuce squad choose this, the most popular route on the cliff, route to practice belay escapes/ascending to victim scenarios. Double whammy. So we just TR'd some semi-dry lines and belayed my friend's daughter, an adorable 6 year old. She was scrambling around pretty good, it was fun to watch. At one point I was messing with her a little bit by telling her to "use the wet holds because the rock is super clean." She turns and looks at me for a long second, and says (stone-cold serious) "I'm smarter than that, you know." hahaha. Good day, overall.
we really need to get 2 more people in here and quit being understaffed...

That's like saying if Tiger Woods was really a good golfer he would only use one golf club. Hmmm, should I use the #4 wood or the putter today? Maybe a #3 iron? I agree. and that is exactly what I told Bruce when I bought another pair of climbing shoes and he asked why I needed more than one. I asked him...can you golf with just one club? Do you fish with just one fishing pole? He didn't say anything after that. Wow! You might be trainable yet? You got new shoes?

I didn't get up to much... still have only been on rock once since I was sick a whole year ago. I can't believe it's been almost a year since we were at the New? I wondered the other day how that guy is these days... the one who broke both ankles! Stupid boulderers! Anyhoo... worked at the Wall a bit, climbed even less, ran a couple of miles, watched Enter the Dragon, got a bit of sun before the clouds rolled in and didn't rain! Prepared more for our Thailand trip. Climbing gear is mostly packed and almost ready to run out the door. 13 sleeps!!
Oh and chalk, you'll need it...

The job is 40 feet away from my current desk. And I'd be able to move west sooner. I need to talk to their manager to get some more clarification about what is needed.
I would be able to get some more travel in and move west when I decided to.

You will be on the road and toolbag would demand a name change and you would have had to find an internet cafe or something to do that immediately. You know how demanding chossy is
Yes, he is.
I will be checking in from time to time to post pix. I might pull an Epoch and use one of those travel pod-things.

We have harnesses, chalk bags (with lots of chalk), two ropes (coz I'm taking my old ones and they're only 50m) two pairs of shoes each, 14 draws, couple of lockers and some (4) sections of rope tied in double-fishermans to leave if we need to.
