Alas!!! Thank you !!

We FINALLY have pics of the new Edelrid saddle.

I wonder if it out yet. A few weeks ago Freeworker said a few weeks. We'll see.


Of course when I posted the following, they said only 6 weeks. That was April.

How about a senior's division?

All right, I'm not ever going to be over the hill, but do OK for over 40. I figure by the time I am 50, I'd enter competitions for geezers like myself.

They do it in golf, and all they do is hit a goofy little white ball that isn't even moving! I think we need more spectators, bring in more $$, and have more divisions. I'd much rather watch a number of you guys, than some stiff with a gut trying to block for another stiff who gets arrested weekly (oh am I talking about the Vikings?!)

Anyway, we had a party for a number of families of the boys I coached in peewee baseball this year, and amongst other things, I had a couple of lines set in one of our big oaks, and I had a number of kids in the saddle. All within my reach of the ground, but none-the-less, they really enjoyed it and many asked a numbe rof questions.

I then went up, showed them a few things then got down to chow, play kickball, throw frisbee, down a couple burn some wood and marshmallows and have more fun. Point is: we need more youngsters thinking what we do is cool, groovy, rad, ?????in, tits, kick, whatever word you want to use, we need them talking about us, and wanting to compete. I'd rather any of my three boys learned climbing properly than playing football to tell you the truth.

So, is there an "old guy" division?

Give me a few more years and I'll forget!

Gopher :D

When I was on the site on Saturday morning Rip asked if I could help on the Throwline. No worries. He assigned me to be the score recorder. At first I was a little bummed but then I realized my friend Dane Buell was on the event too. We had a lot of fun during the day. At one time we were about thirty minutes behind schedule. In the end, we had our event completed, packed up and gone and Aerial Rescue was just dropping ropes out of the tree.

The lunch we got was pretty lame. Not enough even if we were only scoring. Dane suggested ordering pizza. It took close to two hours but we had food.

It was so good to put faces with names. Not only that, now I have voices to go along with the writing on the forums.

After spending a week with a lot of non-American English speakers it was a little odd to be in a store or museum and here American English. My mind expected to hear an accent all of the time.

The folks who don't come to the conferences, or the Field Day at a minimum are really short-changing themselves. Meeting the rest of the family from around the world is invigorating.

Dan Kraus gets the vote for the Retro Climb of the Year. I watched his climb with his wife behind me and his Dad on my left. Best seat in the field!
