Fuck, I can't wait for colder weather. I've determined that I am not biologically suited for hot weather.

Yeah, I need to get back into it.
Things are cooling down now. I would like to meet up with Jack for at least a day and clip things up, but with the other guy out on paternities leave, I'm holding down the fort solo. Plus, mother in law is still sorta in town and I"m flag boy this weekend.
I got some time late Oct or early Nov I think to get out.
Sorry to hear about your friend. I just read on the Taco last night that Blitzo is no longer getting preventative treatment for his cancer.

Living under the fog line has made me intolerant to hot weather. Well, I like it if I can sit next to a pool or something, but I can no longer climb or bike in excessive heat very well.

Our friend Chris's youngest pitt, named Nova, got bit in the face by a copperhead today. She laid down and slobbered for an hour, then got up and walked out. Honey badger! Hard to kill!

Inane updates: still going through the longest not-climbing streak I've had in years. It's been a week and a day since I touched rock. Past few days were shit rainy; last night instead of doing the river, Chris and I opted to just put on PFDs and fins, and swim the lower New (six rapids, one class V), which was in total flood stages. It was pretty goddamned powerful, definitely gives you a different perspective on how the water works.
Was psyched to get out climbing today, but no partners, and then I got an email from an editor, with ALL of the final little tweaks to mah book. So, I'm going to be stuck in a kawfee shop all day, and all tomorrow, probably, going over the revisions.

Get off the internetz, you are supposed to be working.
But yeah, I sort-of miss the earnest gumby days when I was out climbing every single weekend I possibly could, sun and humidity be damned. I should try it again someday.
Heffe went with Tim for a day at the local TR crag while I was driving across the PA and back. They fed a ton of mosquitoes and retreated to preserve some blood for the future, after only 15 pitches or so.
The pitches are rather short, but it sounds like he's done the most climbing out of this sorry group recently.
