Roy, that 3 little monster shot could be worth some money about
12 or 15 years from now, if handled properly.
Or it could get you killed.

Dave Bruckman exclaiming his surprise that we'd both known each other and had been climbing for 30 plus years.
So I responded, "Yeah great: if you want 30 more you better start pacing yourself buddy!"



And to said notion of pace Tucker Tech replied:

the Driver looks completely unchanged,
what's his problem, anyway?

Jeepers Wally,
The potlicker didn't even show.
Apparently he was laid out on the carpet after a hard day's work.

the good/bad news is i missed it 'cause i finally faced reality, bit the bullet, and checked myself into a five-week rehab.

the really, really good news is i now stand a pretty f*#king good chance of living 'till the next 70's olddads shindig.

and the best news is i sent this swole rig yesterday, after almost 50 days without a drop.....


carry on, boys. life proceeds apace.

Thanks for letting us lurk into your shindig. It's always inspiring to see longtime friends who keep doing what they love!

And HUGE kudos to all of you guys that are still sending sobriety!

Hard to believe we all fell asleep watching the dog show and never made it over there. I at least showered, but new there was trouble when I went straight to PJ's.

Sorry we missed the fun to catch up with the Driver, Tardy, Freriks, Laraby, Swellymon..... most of all missed CC3 drinking that Newcastle!

Even without being there it's neat to see all those happy faces. Thanks for the Pics!

BVB, CONGRATULATIONS and a much better decision you made to stay clean bro!!! Just so you know....Roy Boy was distraught and wining all weekend about "BVB this and that,I miss BVB, good ole BVB would be nice to have him here"...but I'm sure he sees the light now!! If I can get someone to tell me how to load up photo's or how to burn a CD to sent to Roy so he can post up, I got a ton of shots you'd probably love to see of all yer bros. It was good to see everyone and good to see how many grey hairs can still climb hard, even if for just one climb....that we had ruthlessly wired and knew every move.
Roy as always, you did a great job in making sure this group stays together and in touch, it was a very special weekend, saw OLD friends and made new ones, climbed old routes, and climbed new ones. Time will always pass and things move on, but friendships like we ALL have seem to stand still when yer with those friendships. I most noticed that some of the faces(and bodies) have changed, voices don't and when I heard someone talk, I knew who it was and seconds later...it was like old times in the 70's. Thanks Roy for such a special time, getting friends together and making sure climbing buddies stay together.
Peace

What? Vat? WTF?????

The pinnacle of hammer-dumb is dead?

It's the end of an era, the new age is coming?

The age Aquarius ---- Long beautiful hair

Shining breathing, flashing thru the air.

You guys are all bald now......
