make sure you get a video of this! i wanna see this mythical "southern gal kind of cussin"

 

This!!

 

Got my grille painted up nice and pretty. Might get the satoshi part finished tonight. Wish my BAMF lightbar would get here quicker.

 

Gonna post this in a few places:

Climbed Mt. Lindsay in the Sangre De Cristo Mtns Last Saturday. Intense.
First View of the summit

Starting to get an idea of the route. Had to climb up to then follow that ridge

My camera is pointed at roughly a 45 degree angle up, to give you an idea of the ascent angle. Steep and loose, jagged granite. THe crevice to the right of the round mound is where I was headed. about 1k feet up.

Getting closer to that crevice now. But decided I didn't want to go that way after all. Got kinda hairy after this shot, but exciting and fun too. Went up to the right to get off the loose rock and before I knew it, I was climbing solid rock that should have had me in a rope and harness. Decided not to fall but to keep going. This is what summiting big mountains is all about.

Decided to take a seat and take a pic towards the I25 corridor

I call this "heartbreak ridge" because I thought it was the summit, but turned out to be a false one. The real one was visible once I got up to the top of this and was about 300yds further on a rotten knife-edge saddle that involved a 50ft downclimb only to gain that plus 100 more on the route to the real summit. Good news was that I came WAY further than that, so it wasn't going to stop me from bagging this peak.

My climbing buddy, Tony, and I on the summit. Everyone has a ceremony at the top. Mine is the Ceremonial Stogie! That is Blanca and Ellingwood in the background.

My buddy has mutant feet and climbs 14ers in Chacos. My feet are way too bitchy to do that. Received lots of "WOWs" and "HOLY SHITs" from fellow summiters.
Back down in the valley, you can see the smoke from the Huerfano fire

Abandoned mining site



The Sangres are such a beautiful range. If they weren't so far from home, I would be there weekly.

 

Nice Travis! Great photos too!

 

Looks like a fun hike!

I have had the last 4 days with a teething baby. I'm ready to go back to work. It was quiet for like 1hour when she napped. This is where she passed out.

 

^^ Poor thing... you shoved her behind the AC unit huh?

 

She always goes back there because we keep toys over there. She just pulls them out 1 by 1. But she found her pillow pet and passed out

 

LOL no!!

That was a double stack P229 DAK.

 

How is it so unbelievable?

 

Well he is, and he's also considered innocent until proven guilty...

 

We need to bring public hangings back for scum like that. Or stoning.

 

Its the judicial system that defends him. Until hes proven guilty.. then they give him a place to stay and 3 meals a day on our dime. :banghead:

 

Why would I defend him? I saw the video, he beat the shit out of her....and if he get's caught, he'll be judged by a piss poor judicial system, spend a little time in jail and be back out beating the shit out of other helpless people.

Which is why I ask again, how is this so unbelievable?

I took a guy to jail Saturday for his 4th DUI...how does that shit happen?

Its more believable that people commit these crimes then it is that our system lets them back out after some gay short ass sentence.

 

The system is broken.
