Speaking of drill dust, I found my original black blow tube today. Necessary for more taxing stance drilling.

Was it in the bottom of your purse?
No telling what else you might find buried in there

Washing off accumulated drill dust  

Washing away any hope I had of getting out this week.

Luckily for you going to the climbing gym is as good as going real climbing. So you'll be OK.

I'll start amassing a big box of juicy worms for your next visit

 I always tell the clients to not feed the workers, because if they do, the workers will keep coming back for more.

The result of the current weather patterns, the thermometer read 12 when I left the house. The innards of my gas cap froze and I had to think of a quick solution to get the key warm enough to unlock the cap.  Brrr cold.

JC. The fruitcake pic was awesome.

Did you disinfect the key after?

Of course not.

Ironically it has not rained at Pinns in the last 12 hours but there was .25 inches in the last 24 hours.

I predict there will be very little significant climbing this month.

I may have to return to roots sooner than expected

 Other than sport gym climbing and eating carrots, what does that mean, orange one?

Pretty funny that as soon as I posted - it started pouring there (in the last 2 hours).

[clink]

Roads are seriously blocked. More rain Tues.

 We took some pics of the slides. county is working their way up the hill. Wind is picking up.

 
 The puppy shit on the sleeping bag. Rachel named the pup Honey, so I call the crap deposits Honey doo's. I hung it on the fence for a pre-wash this evening.

National Weather Service shows 6.87 inches of rain here in the last 72 hours. And it rained a ton before that too (except for Friday). The first good news is that we only went 10 hours without power over the weekend (and all of our roads are still here).

It's also good news that, after rising to over 8,000 feet, snow line is coming down to under 5,000 feet (we're at 4,300 feet here).

The third good news is a spell of clear weather that's coming in to our favorite wintertime climbing area 

[F4?]

How is the new solar Brad? Or too cloudy so far.

It was a nice evening here for a ride.
