I think they are on sale at Car Toys...

How about one of these... [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDrzMGdYWZc

How about some kind of paint/mace bomb exploding on the perps, like they put in the bank robbers loot? OK, I call dibs on the exploding car alarm paint/mace bomb. I'm taking pre-orders now. Visa, MC, cash and gold accepted.

Two words... Booby Bootie Trap!

You got the red nut off Jill's, then? I fiddled and got it almost out, then wedge in again. Pretty sure it would not be there long.

Wow, nice work Josh. It looks like you have come a LONG ways since your first TR. Not only in your climbing, but also very nice photos and write up.

Nice send. Looks like the stars aligned on this one...

Not that I have any first hand knowledge of that statement, BTW. It just sounded like sage advice. Maybe I should try it too?

The best therapist is the rock itself. Be one with the stone and all will be revealed.

7/27 - no one bit on the partner offer, so i spent a leisurely mornign w/ the little people - coffee n' bacon n' cats - went out to beacon at 3, uncertain what to do, packed for anything, and decided along the way, in honor of the olympics, to set a goal to climb as many solo laps as possible on the corner before getting back to the house for pizza n' wine w/ the wife in the evening - settled for 4 laps (bacon-flavored half dome day? BFHDD?) - could have done more i reckon, but ran into the company of Known Felons after lap 1 and that took a little bit of the wind out of my sails - did the pleasant last lap w/ denalidave, overladen w/ one beer, me ashamed to have left my gin n' juice in the rig for the celebratory drive home perfect day, weather-wise, compared to yday - overcast, cool, variable winds - stoked to see a 3-some spending a night on ground zero, complete w/ double haul-bags n' ledge(s?) (didn't see room for the 3rd, what horrid price did he have to pay i wonder?) - thoughtb to aid-solo ground zero i had, but they skunked me, and then that bastard timetravel'n'steve took my free 4 sum backup! a pox on all their houses! Here ya go...

You may have just put yourself on the go postal list.

I'm actually supposed to climb with a shrink tomorrow. Let me bounce it off her... Not sure if she's any "good" at it but the few I have known personally were pretty nuts themselves. YRMV

7/23 - 2 corner laps in a little more than an hour and done in time to get kids to the dentist, then a long walk by waterfalls (even introducing the bastardos to "5150" along the way, just for you, kev ) Surprised we missed you.

Bullshit. I spend hundreds of hours every year instructing beginners. Nobody has ever asked me anything as stupid as "how do I not sit on my cams?" If you lack common sense to this degree, I would advise you that climbing is not a sport you should be involved in. If it looks, walks and quacks like a duck troll...

Bump

I'm thinking of taking my kids (7 & 9) camping near Swift Resevior, seems I remember hearing of some easy fun climbing out that way. Anyone have some recomedations? I think we will leave tomorrow or Tuesday am. Thanks, Dave

Or be sure to lube them well!

hadn't thought to, but jesus, i better do it soon now 'fore someone goes and gets completely the wrong idea about its contents We all already know Pat swallows...

Since when did you read TR's? I thought they were against your religion?

Ditto.

Well, include an Ivan to English dictionary too will ya:-) Bill, that's called alcohol. Ingest it and you will comprehend the ShakespearIvany drivel. More like JackCarowakkyHunterSthomson with a dash of Elvis, drivel, perhaps???
