Throw on that eye patch get out there and die from heat stroke!

You could be out there making memories that will last for never!

Once you designate something as the good old days you will be chasing the past. The good old days suck ass.  Right now is where it's at.

Damn near died from heat stroke today at almost 7,000 feet elevation. And I did it without using an eye patch. It's actually pretty easy to get too hot.

The good old days were magnificent. But so was today, starting with a nice cup of coffee and a kiss from the most wonderful woman in the world (and actually that came after a kiss from the most beautiful dog in the world).

Yeah, you just want me dead so you can nab my nine inch cam. I doubt you could get here fast enough.

That's cause you're getting buried with it.  Wearing short shorts and holding the 9 incher.

Now see...everything is all better...just like a "normal" day around here and it didn't even take very many posts.

Don't you feel better?

I do - in between belly laughs.

Thanks for the assist.

Okay...okay...give some credit where credit is due...

Brad actually multi-tasked by posturing for his fans while simultaneously setting me up for the kill shot.  :thumbup: :biggrin: :ciappa:

90 degrees today.  Three parties on the Coastanoan.  One party gets bonus points for Getting Smart.  Goes to show

Park gauge on the east side said 100 but you are a lot cooler than anyone else I know. Hope you found some shade and got on something fun.

Back to fence building this morning.

I'm on the power drill team.

We got the first stringer up Friday.

Got the 2nd line of stringers up in 2 hours.
The lower took us 3 hours on Friday but we made all the mistakes and worked out the sequence in those hours.
Once you get the sequence down it's fairly cruiser - kinda like aid climbing.
I thought the upper would be a bitch with ladders and such - then I laid back off the post, climbed up and stood on the wall and just worked from there while my partners worked from the uphill side. I had a string of pouches on my belt with all the hardware and the different drill guns slipped nicely into the top of the posts (now capped).
Got to work on my climbing muscles and drilling too.
All without ever leaving the comforts of home.

Must be what Gavin feels like.

JC says 100.  Met a party of three from China.  They climbed Coastanoan.  They ran out of water.  I convinced them to wait in the shade until about 5pm and then hike out.  Along the way I showed them all of the places to hide in the shade.  When we go back to the parking lot o got them to drink ice cold miller lite.  I was deemed "the real hero"

Fun day

Back out again this Saturday.  Forecast says 90

Sounds like an interesting day Noal.
Where did you get the ice cold Miller Lite?
Did they open a store on the west side?

Forecast for today is 96 and tomorrow is 93 according to the link Gavin provided me (puts the cursor right at Bear Gulch).

That 100 degree reading was from the park gauge.
Yesterday it read 105.
This time of year even the most precisely placed cursor typically yields a forecast temp that is 5 to 10 degrees too low.
But I don't have to tell you that - you are out there living the dream.

I helped get about half the fence boards up yesterday (we used all the old ones until we ran out).
Kat and I hauled materials up the slope to repair our two fences that have been failing for quite a while now.
I am hoping 5 new posts will shore it up until i am too old to care.

Got a pile of work to do - 1st 3 holes are dug...will try to get the posts set today...

Here is the line I am working on (holes are waiting for posts)





Piles of materials that beckon (concrete bags under the tarp to set the new metal posts)





and an updated version of the back (shared with two neighbors)

Bob Uecker was in the parking lot.

There is a store on the West Side but no cold drinks.  I did buy a new nifty ball cap with a condor embroidered on the front and Pinnacles N.P. on the back.

The ranger Chris who mans the booth and sometimes the visitor center is super cool and I always enjoy chatting with him.  Other cool things about the West Side visitor center ?  Best place to take a dump.  Super clean bathrooms.  The bronze sculpture of the Condor is a must see too.
