We're going Climbing...

It is our first weekend outside this season. Hopefully the weather will hold long enough to make the trip worth while. We are heading east to Vantage for some fun at the Feathers. It is a bit of a trip but has been mostly dry these last few weeks.

In other news, sara now has her own domain Sara Lingafelter.com which currently forwards to her blog (which is also a link to the right,) but ultimately will go to hour home server (if she decides to set that up.)

I have started my sites as well. Both, yes I have two so far, are in the works but you can take a look at Left Over Comics.com and my business site Natural Fuels which I hope to in the next month or so have the money to setup our first pump. It has taken a lot longer than I had hoped but now that Sara is out of school and back to work hopefully things will pick up soon.

Just jump for it.

Sara and I did the 4th and final bouldering competition of the series they do out here. It was a blast. Sara placed 3rd in her group, and one of our local climbers, Victoria, placed 9th in the nation (though our local comp had nothing to do with her national standing.)

Sara, of course, performed methodically and made all her attempts seem simple and flawless. She really is fun to watch.

My favorite moment, was after I had achieved my goal, and was attempting climbs that were difficult either because of my skill or because my arms were all pumped out (that means they were hard as rocks and over used). I was on a climb that a number of us were having trouble (we were all tired at this point). I got on it, and made it to the last move before the final hold. Now, if I were not so tired, I would have taken my time and moved my feet to support me, but I heard the kids below me saying "jump for it" so I did.

I missed the hold and fell to the ground. I laughed and said "Oh, yeah, just jump for it." They youth that was cheering me to jump said, "Well, if you'd just jumped higher."

It was great fun, and now Sara and I are very excited to get up to Squamish B.C. for a weekend. I'll try to get a few pictures up.

Zed Foo Bonbon Zip Gow

I couldn't think of a title today, so zed foo bonbon zip gow. That means I am fully capable of speaking jibberish. Not much going on. I've been spending a bit more time in front of the computer lately as Sara has been super busy with work. We've also been preparing for our house guest, Sara did most of the work.

I've been getting my website up and running. So far it has mostly been configuring my server. But you can now get to my home server leftovercomics.com and hopefully it will improve as I learn how to web design. Something that I have never been good at is web design.

Well, I guess one thing has been going on. Sara and I have been setting routes out our local climbing gym. Apprently, I'm quite the natural route setter. I've been asked to set more and I'm looking forward to doing at least one route every couple weeks.

Okay, back to the jibberish...zing zowy whip whip dong fong.
