@FritzRay 在 Covid-19 Stimulus Bill Info 中说： Strange that he or a staff member didn't get back to you. Did you remember to mention that you were a Republican? I think he's one of the best senators that money can buy! Nope. Not yet. But I am optimistically crossed.

Ethereal Angelic Vocals Yep. I have a fetish fer' em'. So, on a more upbeat note... Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun (DJ Tiësto Mix) We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Thanks for tuning in.

Saudi-Russia oil war is a game theory masterstroke. Boo! Hiss!! Available subscription only. Might have to send them a buck. Anyways, if perchance any members have access to this I'd be curious as to a synopsis. Thx. @jgill This is the kind of maths I used to dig trying to model, on a much simplified level, way back in the day when one of the lucky few with access UC San Diego Super Computer Center. Think Michael Gilpin, Jared Diamond, Ted Case, Bradbury & Vehrencamp, Krebs & Davies, etc. era. Very interesting and ground breaking work at that time. Lot of intellectual stimulation. Loved it.

@FritzRay Yes! How did you know? I knew the smell was off shortly after breakfast. Keen nose you must have to have sniffered it way over at the ranchette.

@toby No problem with speed here, but something has gone very weird with the display of your site. See the screenshot below and note that all your buttons are in Chinese... Given your mad web skilz, I expect you'll have this fixed within a day (i.e. by April 2).

Made some more progress all that is left on the woodworking is one window to trim, some cabinet doors and crown molding.

Thank you! great story and awesome photos!..

did it over heat??

Yeah, a long time ago...

Another from before social distancing: Namdaemun Market in Seoul a while back.

@FeralFae --- WOW... you are most welcome!! happy to see you here, now!!

@toby -- say, toby... thanks, also for the update...

"Chongo" Dave Tucker Update: For interested parties who may not know, Dwain Warren reports Dave Tucker, a.k.a. "Chongo Dave", of "Team Chongo" fame (too many HVC Daves bitd; Too Strong, Young Strong, Yucca, etc. so nics naturally evolved to keep 'em sorted), died several years back. I am saddened greatly by this news, as I had always hoped our paths would cross again. Maybe someday. Rest in peace, brother. I wish you well on your adventures in the next life. Thank you for the memories.

Have you taken it for a spin?

Finally got around to updating Gundee & Company today. I humbly offer y'all Spring Fling Thing 2015, for whatever it may be worth. Enjoy! o/

@David-Harris said in History of Rock Climbing: Not to say that those areas are dull and boring, or that the book is crap, just that he's being a bit dishonest with his readers. He is not using the same criteria you are. With my river running background, including Hell's Canyon, I never thought it was 7.900 ft. deep, but the facts you disagree with on elevation differences in California, are widely accepted. As a historian, he uses what he finds, hopefully with some fact-checking.

Starting to go a bit stir crazy.. decided stealth mission was in order... Completely sef contained. the one time I fueled up I wore a mask and gloves. disinfected the dorr handles etc after disposing of my gloves.. Drove really far and found real winter. Went to a place in the middle of no where so didn't have to worry about other climbers.. the climb is a little less than 400ft.. easy but exposed and beautiful. I was super carefull on the walk off. It was too fast to butt slide so I hiked it. Did two laps.. Amazeing how despite skinning a few mts and going on good hikes after two weeks of no climbing my legs felt like it was my first time out for the season.. My arms never get pumped on the first few climbsa of the season but my legs and feet get really pumped. its just completely different use than hiking. Insane how civilized life is with the tiny home. got changed into fresh clean clothes, slipped into sandles because my foot hurt enough I didn't want to wear shoes. Cooked dinner and a cup of Chai and had a nap. this shot of the white Mtns is really cool perspective. It feels a lot more like Colorado than Vermont. First time I saw this I could not believe I was in VT. it must be about 5k ft elevation difference from this spot 

@toby you must be in quite a state if you think All around This World is upbeat and cheery

here is one from out west as you guys seem to have lost interest in the NE.
