You all are invited to come on down to Pinnacles and roll in the mud with Mr. Mud on Saturday, Feb 27, 2010. Let's do it before he gets too old for it. Yep, Feb 28 is his birthday.

The exact spot for the group roll is open for discussions depending on who is coming.

Who is in?

Given he's getting older and not younger, we should just go to the tourist trap. Short approach, easy climbs....

Crap, I'd love to make it. But the girls have a climbing comp that day, in Sacramento. As it is I'll be driving all Friday night to get home for that.

BTW, anyone want to climb up Valley?

It looks like F4 and the family will be joining us, so at least we have a small group going. Whoohoo!

I'll have to ask Mr. Mud, what "mullet wig" means.

Oh,  BTW, if rain prevents climbing, we'll still go for a hike at the Pinns, which I'm sure will be equally nice.

I think some day, Mud should move his birthday to June or something, when it never rains.

Okay, the deal for Saturday is this:

A group gym session at PG SV at 3pm. Then dinner at Xanh in downtown MV (yelp link) probably around 6pm. After dinner, we'll move right over to the lounge area (in the same restaurant) and enjoy the drinks (check out their Cocktail menu). I'll make sure to buy Mr. Mud the "Dirty Old Man" .

You all are invited to join us at the gym, the dinner, and/or for the drinks; at least, come for the drinks! It's going to be wet everywhere but that lounge anyway.

If you can come for the dinner, please reply by 6pm Friday so I can make a dinner reservation.

We may still go for a hike at the Pinns in the morning even if it rains, but since it's probably just us, we'll be flexible on the plan.

I think the old dog is getting soft!

There is still a 40% chance of it NOT raining.

We wouldn't be wearing shorts, but it would still be nice.

We'll need to make a couple of (not very short) stops on the way back. Carpool probably won't work, I'm afraid.

I declare the storm officially over. 

Looking out over the Pacific the horizon was clear and there was little wind.

It has been written.  It has been read.
