nice work Katie, congrats. Welcome to the real-world. On the plus side, she can drive and Brad can relax.....or update the guidebook with the rainbow of markers.

Or conduct business deals.

By the way, I was in REI not to long ago and they are carring the New Pinnacles guide (versus the purple). 

I hope that gave you more room in the garage.

REI mtn view usually has one in stock. Have had them in stock for many many months. Actually it was the first retailer I saw it in.

Squiddo, you're crazy on two counts:

1. Relax? While my 15 1/2 year old is driving? Clearly a mere six months of fatherhood has not given you the insights necessary to understanding this problem. I will be totally white-knuckled;

2. The rainbow of markers? No, orange and only orange for my guidebooks.

While #1 is true, the fact that you only noted two reasons I'm insane was a complement. Well received. Thank you sire! SNP in the Spring I hope?

Oh, and on REI and the book: they buy only from their own approved distributors. I'd been selling to one such who was selling to REI, who was retailing them. Then the distributor went bankrupt. So, I won't be paid for two whole boxes of books (their obligation to pay is wiped out by the bankruptcy). Also, I've been contacted by another distributor, but have no idea whether they'll order any or not.

Yes, Sonora Pass climbing in the Spring (assuming, of course, you have your release, from Munge, allowing you to climb here?)

Definitely not. We're Scotsmen. Where the men are men and the sheep are scared.

dude, I ain't no gatekeeper.

If the wife lets you roll, you're doing better than most of the male population.


I really want to try for a 20+ pitch day down in the canyon.  (they won't all be 10s or 11s but it would fun climbing)

Yeah, well, good luck with that sweet pea. We still have eight inches of the white sh*t on the roof here. You're not climbing in that canyon for a while. It's melting fast, at least; we had room for a game of Charlotte baseball this evening.

Sorry to hear you got the short end of the deal with REI.

20 pitches in the canyon.....how about 5 and a case of cold beer. Better yet, just a case of cold beer.....and guns.

We will finish our route! Thoughts of  a dying atheiest.....after 5 years.

Yeah, but it wasn't REI, it was the distributor they buy through, so REI is shielded. Anyway that's sometimes how it goes when you're a high roller like me. At least it wasn't me going bankrupt!

Oh, and speaking of the 5'10" punk, here's a photo she took yesterday. I like it quite well:

Not age. Go sit in the passenger seat of the car (she wasn't driving). Hold the camera. Account for the fact that it's shown in the side-view mirror.

I'm sure she'll get married some day. No need to rush it. It'll come in a few decades whether I like it or not.

Congratulations Katie and good luck Brad -
But I'm not sure it's a good idea to publish all that personal info on the Internet,
with all the identity theft and stuff.
Just watching your back. - Joe

QITNL and Skully, I disagree - almost any data mining company could get the  same info within an hour, for a nominal cost (it's all out there for the grabbing). Most of it could be obtained at no cost off this insipid internet that rules our lives now.

But, I seriously appreciate your concern for my daughter, and your willingness to express that concern. And it takes nearly no effort to change what I posted. So, out of respect for your points of view, I took five minutes (a quickie job) and removed some of the information. And the meaning of the document isn't at all changed, in context.

Thanks again, and call out stuff like that even if you're not sure. Oh, and by the way, QITNL, this is my older daughter, not the younger one (it was the younger one who was in on the FA that you shared with us last year).
