@toby Now there's an experience! I wonder if the one on the ground was injured and the other defending it?

Hit the local crag for some boulderin after my photo gig Saturday. It was busy. Top roper on the left is on one of my 5.6ish bouldering routes. Leader is on a pretty classic 8+

Saw these rigs yesterday on my trip the the big city. W, Leb NH. Both too clumsy and thirsty for me The new. and the old. She has charecter!

at one point I had about 20 neil Young songs put together. been slacking lately but sort of trying to figure out You and Me.

@David-Harris the pole climbing was pretty rad but the next video up after that was Rally raceing in Europe. those people are effin Nuts! the crowd does not give the cars enough room to get through so they just run people over and keep going....

@Scole "Tags" can be your friend. Perchance was that how you "discovered" it? I added the "Patagonia" tag a few weeks back after the fact so if so, that may explain it. Enjoy! @LynneLeicht Indubitably. This is one I wish we had a bit more higher resolution on. This kind of stuff was too rich for my blood bitd so I only get to live it vicariously. Rock on!

Summer is half over and the cats are ripening in the trees. (For a whole series of photos like the one below, go to https://www.eatliver.com/ripe-cats/)

End of Days? Fear not, young Master Henry You will be brave, because you are brave. We face dire challenge and chance. Our lives, our way of life, It hangs in the balance, A fragile glass standing on a wire, High above the asphalt as we pray, For not one drop of rain under overcast sky. And yet I smile. We will fight and we will bleed. And yet I smile. We shall face men, Some cornered in the roles by circumstance, Some desperate murderers thrilled by blood. We shall end them all, As is our charge this day. As is our sorrow. And yet I smile. We will leave our loved ones, To traverse a dangerous road, Reaching out of peace into war. As is.... For we will mine glory from the rock of struggle this day. We will honor and protect this, This bastion of life in a land of the dead. And we will win. We will win. I smile. I laugh. I rejoice this day For on this day, We are joined in purpose and vision. We are of a singular heart and mind. On this day, we are one. We are one! We are one!! The Walking Dead

David! Harmless, although they can release a "potent musk" when messed with. Harley avoids snakes longer than 12".

Four days in, bubbling away nicely.. tastes and smells good already! Rinse the spoon with water, give a stir a couple times a day, and cover it back up with the towel. Probably won't be much change for the next couple weeks. When the bubbling begins to subside, we'll move to a secondary fermenter with an airlock

Blissing out after one of my favorite meals. If I knew I was going to die tomorrow night, my choice of final dinner would be this in the summer, pork chile verde in the winter. So what is "this"? Chicken braised in peperonata. Lots of qualifiers (like, if you buy a Tyson chicken from Safeway, you are going to be reincarnated as something small and slimy, eventually to be eaten by a Tyson chicken and fed to someone who is going to be reincarnated as something small and slimy.} This is truly the gift that keeps on giving, which I will try to explain in a DR (Dinner Report) to follow maybe tomorrow, but for now...

It's summer, the weather is great, but... ...we still can't climb. Yeah, Mari returned from work in the US, and we're both in 14-day quarantine. What we can do is welcome friends to our yard as long as we keep socially distant. So here is a shot of our friend Zoe on our slackline a few days ago. Neither of us can walk it without using the handline above, but Zoe is not only a strong climber, but also a slackliner of some skill. No need of the handline for her.

Awesom! My 2nd trip to Moab in early 90s it seemed like everything had changed imensly since 1986 shareing red wine with Ed Abby in a free box canyon 10 min from town. the place was mobbed , campsites were all posted and full and everyone in town seemed to drive a jeep. It took a day or so to figuer out that it was jeep week.

"Goggling" Tami Knight cartoons brings back a large result set. In fact I believe that was the source of the shoe cartoon I took down.

Sorry, but I was rope soloing a new sport arete, so pics were hard to come by. Next time I go I'll do a proper review. My first impressions are good, Acopas always fit me well, and these were no different in that respect. The new Spectres seem a bit stiffer than the old ones, but perhaps that's because my old ones are on their fifth resole. I was wondering if they added a stiffer midsole. Climbing on the secret basalt columns gives you opportunities to edge, smear, friction and jam, and the rubber worked great. I can't compare it to 5.10 rubber because I boycott 5.10, but fresh out of the box they stuck great and show even wear after one day of climbing, unlike some 5.10 shoes which were trashed after one day of climbing. As more information becomes available I will share it, but so far I am very pleased

@David-Harris From that Wikipedia link: 1800 Tequila is a Mexican brand of tequila owned by the Beckmann Family, who also own the Jose Cuervo tequila brand. I guess I presumed they'd split it off for the premium market to compete with Patron and the like.
