Merry whatever everyone! Be careful on the way to Grandma's house cause the roads are full of idiots with cell phones.
I'm awaiting that delicious turkey breast with youthfull anticpation. Courtney has become the official gift wrapper this year. I think she's the only one who knows what everyone is getting.
Santa, if you are reading my blog, I been really good this year and I want a Daisy Red Rider BB gun with a scope. I'm gonna go get that awful Black Bart, then ride off into the sunset.

A Trip to Muir

Tonya tieing in for Flutterby Blue 5.9
Not even the gremlins could stop me from going climbing last weekend. Ten days till Cristmas and it was an unbelievable 60 degrees. Winterstorm and Conner came along and kept us entertained. I even got some video with the new camera. Life was good again. I'm not as obsessed with climbing as I was ,but it's just nice to get out in the woods some times and climb some rock.

Gremlins

The gremlins are keeping me from climbing. It can't be this hard to get in one day a week climbing something besides the walls at home. Maybe I should invent something else to do with my rope. I could tie Mrs. Ynot up to a post, put some feathers in my headband and do a rain dance or something.
The new camera is cool. I should have bought one a long time ago. I'm finding out it has outdated my internet connection. It would be easier to burn pictures to a cd and snail mail them than to resize and hope they don't get stuck in my outbox. Maybe the gremlins are in my email server too....

tea time

I'm sitting here , taking a break, savoring every drop of a hot mug of Gincko green tea. It's the last of it. The box is empty. I found it in an herb shop and it was a bit too expensive but it's great stuff. Warms the heart and soul. I swear it makes me happier. Sorta majical. It's like that sweet crack climb you found and lead again and again for all your friends. I haven't been climbing in a couple weeks. I been working all day and then putting in another shift in the woodshop. The 4 nightstands I finished today went out the door and I started another job already. The extra money is going to get me a new digital camera so I can take and upload some better pictures. Maybe I should stop in that herb shop again while I'm out and about.....
