.....but skiing powder is so much more fun.

 

Yeah. Nordic skiing is a fun change from the gym et al. When I do get into some powder on the trails, like I did today, it's really fun...

 

I prefer to walk in the mountains but skiing down climbs looks like the way to go.

Now I'm dealing with gout, which really sucks when it flares up. No beer for me. :cry:

 

I turn 60 later this year, with a little luck. My wife and I recently discovered the medicinal benefits of tart cherry juice. When I went to the store to score some, the young woman I asked about it said "do you have gout?". We take it for a touch of arthritis. It also helps us sleep through the night...

 

You should try it for the gout Dave.

Yes, I've been pounding the stuff when I can get it... I'm working in a very remote area now but stock up at Trader Joes when I get to town. I broke down and got some Rx stuff too. Not sure what to credit, but the regime is working. Thanks for the tip though.

When I was in the teens only the girl teens were hot. Anybody over 25...well you were old.

 

Now that I am in my 40's...the teens AND all the girls up to the 40's are hot.....so many more choices.

What's up with texting? I hate texting. Is that wrong? It drives me crazy when I get a text "what r u up to today". Often, in response, I'll call the offending texter right away to conduct a conversion instead of texting back and forth. Frequently the texter will not answer the phone but send another text "can't talk, what's up?" :mad:

I don't want to chat about the fucking weather and your Viagra prescription; I just want to know if you're available to belay me on my 53rd redpoint burn on Chain Reaction. So fuck calling. Just text me back bro, yes or no.

If you are in your 40s, she has to be around 65 to qualify as a cougar.

Looked for images of Fred Beckey on the internet today. That made me feel younger but still somehow worse in that he still probably climbs harder than me. Maybe this middle aged stuff is all in your head?

It's like shooting fish in a barrel at the geriatric ward. :P

Just figured out why DE ski wrecks hurt more after 40. Has to do with the hardening of the earth. See McManus, P, 1981, McMillan, A Fine and Pleasant Misery, p.86
