Terminal_Gravity Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 tougher than others. a TR 2/12/04: 6:30 am; 9 degrees outside, about 40 inside. Dull light through the fog, left eye won't open amid the swelling. My useless right arm refuses me. I lift my head up with my left and roll, weaving for a balance as my feet hit the icy floor. I pad to the kitchen, pipes still good!, warm water starts to flow and loosens the crust on my eye. Vodka and cranberry taste sublime, my right arm starts to respond. I get the fire going and grind coffee. By the time I reluctantly leave the warm cascade of the shower my neck is less ridgid and the coffee is finished. One big black cup, a pint of cytomax, 4 ibuprophin's, L-lysine, glucosamine and one codiene 3. Better life through chemicals! The house is starting to feel warmth and so am I. If it hadn't been for that tree, inbound skiing last Saturday, I might be up on Yokum ridge (hood) right now with Texplorer. Focus and gusto. Without them, what is the value of life? If living that way means I get injured occasionally, so be it. Some say I should take it easier. Fuck that...bodies are made to heal. I was lucky, the cat scan showed no cracked vertebrea...my face will be pretty again as long as I keep tea tree oil and vitamin E on it. Focus and Gusto...never give in...abhore the couch...live fully. I mounted my bindings on new skis last night...I can't wait until Saturday.

catbirdseat Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 MtnHigh reported that while there was good ice in the couloirs, the rime on the ridges was very poor for climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbw1966 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Yeah, cause Steve carries it around in his pockets. His BAC has to be at a continuous level or he crashes like a diabetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 doesn't he? if not, i'd figure at least you could slit his wrists and suck enough beer-laden blood to get a decent buzz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
