No Bosches. Once the book is out, that is it - there will never be another first ascent done. So don't waste your money.

I've now heard from two experts in English grammar and punctuation (Vicki and her sister Kaaren). I also ran it by my paralegal/right-hand woman/genius staff member Doris. All three agree that it is right as is for the reasons stated. Doris was actually adamant that the commas are exactly right.

Keeping in mind that Doris works weekends at her Husband's restaurant in MiWuk village, and that, at least, Munge goes to this restaurant often, I wouldn't recommend crossing her.

How can Kaaren be an English expert when she does not know how to correctly spell her name?

Climbers debating the deep nether regions of English seem odd.

Of course I post on a climbing forum and do not climb so I guess all is right.

Alright smart-ass, how would you spell her name? It isn't Karen, it's closer to Cairn, as in a pile of rocks (I call her Pile o' now and then). Apply your scandhooveian heritage to that one.

And quit claiming you're a non-climber. You still climb better, off-the-couch, than everyone else on this forum climbs except Adam. And as to Adam, well you're much, much better looking than he is, and your limited spelling and punctuation skills are better than his too.

Why can't I get a Bosch? Isn't that the weapon of choice up there?

Actually, there are several areas that have seen a lot of hand drilling. Some areas are wilderness too.

Which is the exact comment that led to Cruxluv's funniest ever retort on this forum.

Once you are corrupted by the Bosch...it's hard to go back.

Yep, power corrupts!

And feels so good.

I'll rig a battery charger for the drill to my bike.  Kind of like a carbon offset but for drilling ethics.

And Brad, mittens and I will possibly be at Jailhouse Friday - Sunday. Maybe swing by Twain Harte if you're around. Sharma is as flakey as a Spanish croissant... Not sure about Espainya.

As usual we'd need 5 seconds notice that you're going to show up.

We're done. Steve and I just did the last four edits. We then compared quotes and decided on a print company. By Monday or Tuesday we'll have submitted the files to them and the print process will start. They tell us 4 weeks from then to shipping. Make it 6 instead and we're looking at the last half of May?

Anyone here gonna want a copy?

Awesome, I'll buy one and know a few others who will too.  Oh wait, that was a rhetorical question right ?   ;D
