There is no dream job. No matter how cool it starts out, it is still a job, something you have to do. You may enjoy your job, but I doubt any job is worth trashing my life for.
But hey, that's just me.
Do you really want a single wall tent? It can get pretty wet in there in typical Cascade weather (rain, rain, rain).
If you are looking for an I-tent Lambone is selling one here on cc.com for $300
Unless they did it last weekend, IB is still there. A friend of mine climbed it on Friday.
p.s.
The lower Malmute was shotcreted last weekend because climbers didn't respect the train's right-of-way.
Ultimate Frisbee - I play 3x a week rain or shine.
Riding bikes - Did the STP last year. I haven't been on my MTB in two years -sob-
Skiing - my first full season.
Motorcycles - I just got the damn thing running properly after sitting for the season and mounting new exhaust.
Make gear - like backpacks and haulbags and stuff.
See live music - a lot of different genres
Sedentary friends
General hoodlummery
I have a room devoted to gear. Right now, it's like a gear swimming pool. It can be a little embarrassing when you see how much gear is in there, especially since all the bike stuff is in the garage.
I could rent it out to babysit climbers. It would be like the Ball Room at Ikea.
Treasure bath!
She has a good point - I used to see a guy at the market armed with a few old x-rays to use as kazoos and a plastic trumpet. He drew the crowds because he was a good performer, not a great musician.
How many people stop for a street performer during their normal commute on a busy day? I think the "experiment" was a bit dubious and doesn't really prove anything.
Does that mean that most people would recognize Joshua Bell? I doubt it. There are a lot of famous people I wouldn't recognize if I passed them on the street.
I've tried to explain this to many people when I mention that I listen to classical as well as metal and a ton of other stuff. I dont' really have the musical background necessary to describe the similarities.
