A few years later more like about 72--73 so I'm about 25 in front of my then girlfriend's house, Poway, CA. I found out a few years ago she had died around 50

Yeah we do, i jist could have done with out the last pic tho.

Come by the shop. You been a stranger for to long.
After that picture I certainly don't feel like we're strangers anymore!!! That is textbook too much information!
 
The only rule when climbing anything is keep your self safe and your buddy safer.

No one else is watching your ***.

Is very a very short list of folks i trust to watch me when im short roped off my chest D ring, hundreds of feet off the ground.

Even shorter is the list of folks i trust when im climbing rock.

I admit, spurs are something I've never had the "pleasure" of......
 
New poles like that one are the worst, your only "in" about 1/4 inch as they are hard. Old poles are soft, you got to break the gaff out to release.
 
Me, my wife Di and our youngest daughter Sarah with Easton one our sons boys. They were all busy beating me at mini putt. The other picture is me at 17. Boy
times change!

Maybe you need to make a poster of this face and put it on the booth at shows to scare would be thieves off. lol

But it might scare away the good paying customers too!!!! :D

It'd be hard to find a print shop that'd be willing to risk damage to their equipment to print a poster like that out..... :D :D
 
Did you know your radiator hose is disconnected. Might be why you are over heating and losing a ton of coolant :poke:
OHHH ! that's where that puddle came from.... Ha! just fitting the old shroud on the new rad. Had to do a bit of the old "in and out". Thanks for the expert trouble shooting. I could use your sharp eyes! The finer things are growing a little fuzzy.
