I was serious on the every day thread and now over there I have all but confessed
C it as a post that over there fits your comment but maybe I told to much?
any who who cares in my life time I have and those that benefit from knowledge that spills out
Can take it to the bank,.
also Jesus who has trouble spelling it with his artificially swollen lips so you hear Jebus when he says his name canyou hear it ?
Or was it fat dad? or tradman? No it was 'Learning Trad', who asked if
there was a (I should quote but...) a tripping thread?
Put a link in to the flames saying we were the LSD appreciation thread!
Free speech and free association and is as is seen through the viewers eyes

Ya Tah Hey
I think it's time to upgrade my camera. Suggestions? This will aid me in proving that the mountain lion that Michele saw was actually a rock.
Would also help Fish & Game determine whether these are badger burrows or not.

New Yuccas, from when Giants liked to kick the buttz of dem Broke lynne Dodgers.
I was aiming for trying to find for my self. . . in the scheme of things, the theme is old cars that look good
A T Boyd? Not sure what year it was when this two door was hot ?
Do tell it is a custom whip, sure looks like a white elaphat and not o say a goodknight.

Now these old vets are sweet but the ride was ruff thanks to no power steering and stiff suspension and stuff.
+ this view then and i know 'case I lived through a roll to one side in one, inside we saw sparks, outside the damage just sucked.

A lovingly-laid fire from Sp Svg.My father hauled the whole family to see Some Like It Hot.
Some just like it hanging,no matter the kind of music.

I can't help mentioning that I couldn't help noticing definite similarities here.
But it might jukst be my position.
What with all the hey there says, the WTFs, the be here nows, the say what theres and there you gos, they all run together into a pastiche.
A walking nightmare of phrases meant to enhance communication, not retard it, drive it into the Park Side with all the Steely Cars.
A twilit zone of shaded meanings, misinformation, and outright deceit.
Tsk-tak. Mustn't, you know...won't do.
And so, my advice is:Wink, nudge, enlightenment. That so hard?
I've probably said too much...

Sweet sounds never last to long on broken radios. . .
sounds on broken radios...
Every day is a winding road. .
Seeing how the future will be in the near term;
prescient thinking going on here . . .
My bed is made so in it I will! lay, and there is no other way around.
When ,
asked was that what you do? Seeing the Dawn wall action, I explained in Detail(No Modifier)
ME and my compadres go up the wall using dime edges for up ward progression.
You see all those ropes and things hanging off the wall? they are the tools of the trade, not direct Aid.
The coming storm of newly minted climbers are so good, momma dear, that they can spend weeks on a climb that has already taken years of (modifier) Determined Effort.
Major thread drift and I need some cheese to go along with this
Whine. . . but I am going down in Flames any way!!
Years Ago, #%! yrs ago! back when we climbed with Pins, hammers, & hexs and stopers.
I was not so lucky to meet up with a real back bush, muncher! Kyle Chuckler
(thanx wilbeer, my nu fav homophobic slur )
Al took advantage of my good nature. He ripped off the minimal gear that I had, while running the climbing gear counter at the EMS in Lake placid.
Then he would offer me a discount, one 'beiner if I bought four. to replace my missing gear.
He sold me the most awful Frankenstein Ice boots that were Ice boxes.
He, I and a good fellow,Tom Gara, went out and climbed 80 to 90% of some six or seven routes.
Always retreating because, Kyle had some BS problem and would not come up the final pitch of the climb.
I have never gotten over the facts:
I was climbing hard 5.10s in'79 &'80, in the Gunks and the Daks,
I have never seeked or received any credit for the climbs I did the FAs of, some were
those where he had stalled the ascents.
When the most recent guide was being put together I counted up the # of days that I could have spent climbing. The number added up to less than 80 days in the three and a half years that I kicked it around the Daks.
That being the case and that my notes of the times were that of a kid , a dead head kid who was fond of saying things like"Rippa", " wicked awesome", & "Rheal gone cat" to describe pitches, There was no way to prove what I had climbed. Still butt hurt about it though!!
joker choker early to leave Chuckler , would show me lines that he said he had sent.
Then when I got on them,
(in light mist/rain) the path was untested holds broke under my fly weight. He had straight up lied.
(Tom Rosecrans warned me . . .)
I and those who know (the old boy/grandfathering for pay thing) have some strong opinions about the start of and the reason for his well received if misguided career path.
Now it is a churn the youth for the money and hope no one figures out that the Organization is responsible . . .
