Quest for Mud (Special Edition)

[JC w KC redux]

  Extra long bucket list.

Some of them are making my F$%ckit List.
But don't worry - I am catching and keeping a lot of the good stuff.

I have been deep in a masochistic quest to restore photos that got hijacked by photobucket many moons ago.

Not much to do with all these fires burning and smoke/heat at Pinns rock-blocking my real work.

I've been coming across some photos and some old posts that I completely forgot about and getting some pretty good laughs and having some fun - so it's not really all that torturous. I know none of it really amounts to a hill of beans in the big scheme of things but what the hey. When I finish, I plan to post my favorite pics of all time. I already have a few in mind.

I've learned a few tricks the last couple days. Thanks for the idea Kat and thanks for the tech tip Aaron.

The smoke is awful this morning - the wind seems to have stopped and the fog is holding it close.

I won't be going out this morning/today if it stays like this. I have been lucky the last 3 days to get out and ride.

As far as the pictures go, I am still working.
It's silly how much time we spend "worrying" about things that really just don't matter but it gives me something to do and maybe this fix will last long beyond the point of me caring.

I heard something interesting the other day that hadn't ever really occurred to me.
By the time we are sixty, we have spent 20 years sleeping.
I guess 60 really is the new 40.

Okay - I need some help.
I am re-posting pics and Kat says she does not see them on her computer.
I need confirmation from some of you folks to let me know I am not wasting my time.

Pretty please?

I'm paddling along slowly.

Geezus - if he helps I'll never get it done.

He is clink the clever.

Plan A failed (photobucket) due to no fault of my own.

Plan B had some glitches but Aaron helped me work them out.

Now plan see is working but I am starting back at the beginning.
The good news is with unlimited space I can restore everything.
The bad news is it takes time. I am 30 pages in so far.
Only 240 pages left.
The process is akin to aid climbing.

534 pictures restored so far. It's pretty fun going back and looking at all this old stuff.
Man - I used to write some loooong TR's!
Some of the discussions are pretty damn funny too - interesting to see how things have evolved over the years.
I love the feeling when I finish a page and refresh it - then see that photobucket stamp disappear - poof!
I think I am getting tendonitis from all this clicking

I for one would be tickled if you'd post links with these updates you're posting. Links to the restored threads that you like best.

Oh yeah, speaking of that out of season, 112 degree climbing area, I did about my 35th FA of the season up here last week and named it honor of Noal and of Pinnacles. Here's a description that will have all of you swarming to climb the area:

The Bad Example  5.5
a.    [Omitted for this post.]
b.    Description:  Climb a dirty, bushy crack to a bushy chimney to the right of Strawberry Field, but well left of Happy Start (listed next).  Finish on the roomy ledge just under 20 feet right of the Earn Your Stripes’ top anchor.  This finish is just in front of the first pitch, gear belay for Happy Start; belay for this route in the same place, using small gear.
c.    Descent:  Move left to the Earn Your Stripes’ top anchor; rappel 50 feet.
d.    Gear:  One to three inches.
e.       FA Party/Date:  Brad Young, Charles Field, Jeff Germain, August 27, 2020.
f.       Source(s):  Self, part of the first ascent party.
g.    Other:  One of the rare granite climbs that receives a “coveted” A.T.D.S. rating (Absolute Total Dog Shit).

Quit taking my quotes out of context.

I said fun.

Not funny looking.

Speaking of funny looking - I came across the post where you joined the forum
