Dear Mud: well it's number 49 isn't it? Where has all the time gone? I still think of you as a kid in his 30s.
May your birthday be warm, fuzzy and fun. And don't overdo it at work.

Happy birthday buddy!

Happy Birthday Mr. Mud.......you ARE getting old now. You know that right:-) Right behind you.
PS, F4 made that slab look hard. Nice.....its easier on the back.
-
hey thanks, yep middle age is here. That ain't no slab, that is my new 51b!
Definitely will not work more that 12 hours today. I did decide to take it easy and work from home.

Do you have a table @ AppleJacks?

Labor is cheap out here so I have a dedicated runner.

Petrified mud?
Happy Birthaday DES!

snuck out and got in a short ride . With the limited time we decided to do a loop with a few climbs that I have been stuck on. Mudworm's suggestion. These climbs had been giving me fits. I ended up getting three out of four. Took a couple of attempts at each one but i got them. Felt real good.
Thanks All.

Climbs? I'm not sure I understand? Hills on a bike?

climb steep hills on a bike. what else?

Hippy Bath Day...
No. Wait.
Switch the "i" and the "a"....

Hippy Bath Day...
I think he bathed for that day??
Still needs a shave.
-
Not to many have heard this story, but here it goes. Being called a Hippy always makes me laugh inside a bit. I still remember the first time I was called a Hippy. For me it is memorable and therefore a bit difficult to forget. As a few know I lived a few years out in the sticks, no electricity, running water was a creek out back. Getting a hair cut meant going into town and I hated going into town more than just about anything else.
If I knew we were going into town I would wake up early and sneak out of the house to disappear in the woods all day. Did not go to a friends house cuz I learned from experience I would get caught. It sometimes meant going all day without anything to eat except what I could steal out of the fridge or off a shelf. I had to be quiet because my folks knew what I was up to.
The end result was at times my hair would get fairly long. Back then and up in the Northwest it was considered very long. Well we moved to a small fishing logging community, I suppose the size of Santa Cruz back in the day. Only it lacked the liberal, hippy mind set. I come strolling into school ( I was in Grade School ) with this long hair. Everyone stares at me and razzes me a bit. I figure it is because I am a awesome dude. Little did I know.
Well within the first couple of weeks I am getting into an altercation out on the school grounds with a couple of other kids. They really had know idea what they stepped into, they thought they were tuff being from a blue collar town, but I had been splitting wood and hauling water every day. After a bit this kid backs off points his finger at me and says blah, blah blah you Hippies all think blah blah. It never occurred to me being a hippy was a bad thing. I just figured hippies were long hair folks that could kick some serious ass. So there I was in a new town, fresh from the country, running around being called a hippy and being very proud of the fact that I was a hippy. It was quite some time before I learned about the real hippy culture.

You're my favorite 'hippy'
funny story ;D
-
It's that time of the year again. Happy Birthday, Mr. Mud!!!
Whad'ya Know? Being a vegan, I guess you are a real 'hippy' now? ;)
No sneaking out today, but still, don't overdo it at work, okay?

Happy birthday to a real hard ass (meant as a compliment).

We're going to the West side Mud!
2nd ascent of Slicker with liquor, or whatever we called it.
-
...2nd ascent of Slicker with liquor, or whatever we called it.
That happened before 2007.
Maybe your second ascent. Or maybe the first ascent by one of the first ascentionists where that first ascentionist can even remember the ascent? Or maybe not.
-
ok, West Side is just as good for hiking. I remember the first ascent because I hung out on top while a condor contemplated eating the rope as I belayed Mungie.
-
I thought he was contemplating eating me!
whew, good to know there was no danger.
ok, cool. it's on. creek will flow. the grotto fall will be in action for sure!
-
Happy B-Day yah old SOD!!!!
We should go to St Johns tomorrow for dinner.
ok, cool. it's on. creek will flow. the grotto fall will be in action for sure!
He does need to be cleaned up.....
-
St johns?
-
Yes, its a holy place for beer and burgers.
Saturday is 1/2 burgers!
-
The good news is, one day there will be so many condors that you will be able to order a grass fed sheep fed condor burger!
And beer. Or just a salad, you know, whatever.
HappyB-day!

I think today is J.C.'s birthday. I suspect he's spending it re-imersing himself in The Crud. Happy birthday (number 56?).

Happy Birthday

Thanks guys!
It's double nickels this year :)
We had fun yesterday at the Sisters. I took Kat up 2nd Sis via the NE Chimney. I replaced a lone bolt on 2nd Sis, patched the old hole from my rebolt a couple weeks ago on 1st Sis and then we climbed Going the Wong Way. Crux Luv and hubby Phil stopped on their way down the Chalone Peak trail to watch me lead p1 (I did the route in 2 pitches). We talked to a couple at the base of 1st Sis afterwards - Matt and Denise - pretty much talked their ear off :) While we were packing up we saw Gavin and then talked to Noal and Jim in the parking lot. Great day!
-
Hey,Happy B'day! Nice talkin' to you too. What a guy replacing bolts on your birthday! Good job!
-
OK, so we're now three hours away from Clink's birthday. If I recall, he'll be 149 years old.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...
Old man.
-
Old? Look who's talking, and it's 100 years less you senile pompous old fart.
Thanks Brad

HBD Clink!

Happy birthday clink! Cobra looks like a great gift, too. Nice stem at the end!
-
happy b day

Thanks Munge, Waldo and Mud.
The Hood of the Cobra was cool. JC and KC

Geez you guys stay up late! Brad must still be sleeping :)
-
Happy birthday Clink, mine is today, but I have to share mine with my wife and mom. Maybe we will climb someday.
Cheers Jeff

happy b day Uncle Stinky
-
Happy B-day Uncle Stinky!
Next year mine will be on Mothers day and yours on Monday.Lets climb some time soon.
JC, we crashed right after dinner and both woke up in the middle if the night. Woke back up at 9:30 this morning. Breakfast in bed and looking at Godzilla and T-rex videos with our grandson. He also informed me it's time for him to go climb rocks again.
Brad, I know you invited my crew up to your house sometime, but I want to be sure to inquire about the sleeping arrangements. If we have to sleep in your bed, I don't want to be next to you, sandwiched in the middle. It's not that I don't trust you, I am a little claustrophobic.

Agree with your grandson - i'm ready to climb again today :)
Let's see if Brad responds - he is currently MIA - I think he may be feeling dejected after getting left out yesterday.
And speaking of getting left out - maybe he was picked up by the local PD last night and is getting a Mug Shot...
Mug Shot 5.7 TR uphill from The Toe. Left Formation. Start off of platform in notch, move up and right on small ledges then move left toward buttress to finish. Avoid PO at start.
I think JC already has dibs on the drilling
-
Not MIA, I was at my 51 year old sister's college graduation yesterday (boring as hell, but I wasn't there for the entertainment, I was there because she's pulled off an incredibly impressive feat and I'm proud of her). Today we had lunch (and hours of chatting) with the McCon.s and then drove home.
Sounds like the May 10 birthday worked out Jon (google "Case Yellow 1940" to see why I'll never forget your birthday date).
Happy birthday to you too Jeff. Wife and Mom? That must be cool. My brother and I were also born on the same day, four years apart.

I hope it's OK to spill the beans on this - I think that today is Crux's birthday (it's Saturday, right?).
So: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Cruxluv, happy birthday to you."

Hope Crux gets some nicely baked cake today. Hmm....

That is not what it sounds like to me :lol:
P.S. I can't believe he said epic - is he a millennial or something?
Here's mud in your eye Señor Bentonite or is that Senior Bentonite? :lol: :yikes: :lol:

That is not what it sounds like to me :lol
OMFG, your mind is in the gutter. "The Birth of a Nation," that's the epic movie I was referenceing. I'm astonished that you didn't get that (two cultural attache demerits).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

I'm buying the beer for you on your birthday!
Shame you won't be able to drink it.

Actually it was in the sewer - my apologies Mud.
As for the movie, I think that should be under historical attache.
I only watch things that are entertaining. Nothing historical, political or heaven forbid - educational! :out: :lol:
-
Happy Birthday!!
-
thanks all. Munge save one for me as long as it is not BLL. @Brad my mind is almost always in the gutter. I will down there is a couple of weeks.
-
Don't be a stranger when you come. I'll have beer waiting.

So today is May 10th, the 77th anniversary of "Fall Gelb" (Case Yellow, the German attack against France and the Low Countries).
That reminds me that it's Clinks birthday today. Right? Is is 52 years now?

Although it is completely unrelated to birthdays, this post doesn't fit anywhere; this is the most active thread recently so I'll put it here:
Tricia placed first in league last evening in JV girls pole vault. The Mother Lode League encompasses six or seven schools total, so this isn't a tiny accomplishment. Add to it that, in doing this she also beat her prior personal best by just under two feet. Not bad for an event that she only started doing halfway through the season ;)

Rumor has it Brad can pole vault just under two feet....

Are you crazy? I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole.
-
Pole vault? Damn!!! That was the hardest track event in my opinion.
Scary to think of trying to bend a long pole and stay on top of it.
That event takes mucles, my buddies were always working out.
Way to go.

Happy early birthday Brad.
Brad asked me to restore the Pinnacles Climbing 30 years and Counting thread so I just finished that. I also noticed a missing pic of one of my other favorite partners on a birthday thread Tuff Chix did in News and Announcements so I squared that up.
On another topic, the guy I was out with yesterday is new to climbing and new to Pinns (this was the 2nd time I'd taken him out) and he is pretty stoked on the adventure side of things. His name is Jason and he hails from eastern Kentucky - very near the Red River Gorge (although he never climbed there). If anyone needs to clean up a route I suggest inviting Jason out to take a run up your new line - preferably on TR. He is 6 foot 6 with a positive APE INDEX of 3 inches. He also tips the scales at 250. I wouldn't suggest playing football or wrasslin' with him :frown2: :frown: :eeeek: :crazy: :lol:
-
Wow, thanks for doing that, it looks great.
BTW, if you were to "restore" your photos to one thread per month, we'd soon have those threads back. I like the idea....
As for my birthday, I'm considering going way up past Pinecrest into the South Fork Canyon with Munge to climb and document a few routes up there (Munge, do you think there's any chance that this will work out?). As I understand IT, that's climbing on that IT stuff. Will you (J.C.) still talk to me afterward?

Have a great name day Rad Dad Brad - who btw has been suspiciously absent from the forum - what's up?

Just got home (to immediate calls from my sister and by J.C. and K.C.). Thanks for the birthday wishes.
And BTW, did anyone notice how much earlier it got light out today versus yesterday? The days are getting longer (yes!!). It's still butt-cold outside though (ice on the driveway here from Wednesday's snow).

Happy Birthday young man!

Turn your cell on, you might get more.

It was on and I got four text messages with birthday wishes (one from you thank you very much).
By the way, does anyone on here know the best (and only good) use for cake?
-
Cake is generally somewhat dry and relatively tasteless. However, when used as a platform for as much frosting and whipped cream as possible? Aaahh:

At least you have a few years to qualify for the MacDonalds senior discount, that's at 55.

Had a fun day - including a walk to the beach where we were treated to a whale breaching very near the shore.
Temps were really nice today for my uni ride and Kat's run.
Homemade pizza, cake and some nice champagne for dinner here at the shack.
Off to Capitola for the Art and Wine festival tomorrow (should be joined by the Cochrans).
Hitting the Pinns with clink Sunday.
-
We also watched a really good movie based on a true story called Breathe.

Sorry we missed it dood. Will have to get back up there so Kat can get her lead on :yesnod: :biggrin:

Wait a minute, hold on....retired folk play golf and wear plaid.
Get with the program....

Not a worry. Hit it in late month with me? One more line to do at that particular rock. Gunna call it "Chickolleta" … And as you watch the folks with Kids, you'll notice you recognize things like Paw Patrol, Blaze and the Monster Machines, etc. And Chickolleta will make more sense. :)

I suspect Chase and the mayor have a thing going on....

A 56 year-old, skinny little rat dog. Imagine that!
Happy birthday to the very definition of stubborn :P ;)

Happy Birthday Mr. Mud!!! :D

Wait, I thought his birthday was Feb 29th?
Happy birthday Mr Mud!!!
I’ll have 1 beer in your name tonight!

Hey, thanks all very much appreciated. Just a couple of comments, not a rat dog, just a feral rat. Stubborn, hmm, way to easy going in my opinion.
May you all have many good days in you life.
And,
Here's to sweat in your eye
oh yeah one other thing.... DIE

Happy birthday!

Tricia is 17 today (yes, that's the younger daughter). And she was up at 5:30 for her early class. Out the door while we were still drinking coffee.
Seventeen years old. Man oh man where does the time go ;)

Or maybe 40 to that point. Hey, but what's 10 years between friends (plus he looks like it should be 50 more until he's 100).

I’ll crack a sud for you tonight.
Feb 29th is a special day.
-
Where is that guy?
-
Doing a ton of wash.
-
And setting up the new local forum, Stud'nFlood.
(Or was it Thud'nBlood?)
-
I bet that he'll show up here in a few days.
He loves us and can't stay away for long.
-
Where is that guy?
Maybe he is stuck in the mud.
-
Self quarantine?
-
I know, he is out rap bolting. And sport climbing.
Hence his silence.
-
Thanks everyone. Much appreciated. Was out of the country for a bit and did not have any connectivity.
-
You were out of the country sport climbing, right?
Admit it...
Glad they let you back in.
-
Actually I was sport climbing. Some of the sport climbing was above the crystal clear, bright blue, Caribbean Sea. Of course, I will not even mention the snorkeling and diving.
-
Knew it, you were living free clipping bolts!
-
I'm sure he would rather be at Pinnacle all these 25 days, because, let me quote him, "Plumbing is very nice."
-
So are toilet seats. I had no idea that toilet seats we an option.
-
I'm sure he would rather be at Pinnacle all these 25 days, because, let me quote him, "Plumbing is very nice."
To his defense the West side restroom in the AM, with the AM light is quite nice.
It's beyond me why he just does not move to Soledad, buy a white Trooper.
BAM. life at the monument is back to normal.

Happy birthday clink. May you be mothered in mud this year.
Hope you're not feeling too Raggedy after all the partying last night :guitar: :blahblah: :arf:

Today is the 81st anniversary of the start of Fall Gelb (German for Plan Yellow, the invasion of France and the Low Countries).
Did anything else happen on May 10th?

Was he born before Fall Gelb started? He seems old.

Nothing that dense can bounce. :lol: :ciappa:

My first call from the girls yesterday was Rachel. "Happy Birthday Dad. One year closer to my inheritance!"
Next was a Princess happy birthday card for me.
Nice to know that I raised them right. So woke to reality.

Happy birthday, Mr. Mud!
Who on this forum was not a fan boy of Bobbi Bensman 20+ years ago? She was a big deal back then, wasn't she? You guys don't have to admit to it publicly, but we know the truth. I was a fan girl when I learned about her 20 years ago and even bought her book. Well, "Bobbi Bensman Is Still Climbing 5.13 at 58 (https://www.trainingbeta.com/media/bobbi-bensman/?portfolioCats=72)." We don't have to shoot that high of a target. 5.12 is good enough.

Definitely. Got a chance to briefly chat with her, JB Tribout, Didier Rabotou, and their spouses at the time when Donner Summit had just blown up in the mags as the place to sport climb some hard stuff. She wasn't a fan of the granite at Donner.

Where oh where did 20 years go!?
She got up at 4:30 this morning and was at practice (woman’s rowing team) by 6:00 a.m.
-

Apparently all the girls wore pointed "birthday" hats at practice for Tricia's birthday. And one of the girls dumped a small boat in this morning's rough water, had to be helped out, but kept the party hat on through it all.
-
WOW - where does the time go? I still remember you beating me at Bananagram's? Are you playing WORDLE? If so, I'm sure you are really good at it.
Happy Birthday T! I left you a message on FB too!

Oh wow, I totally forgot about her playing Bananagrams with you two! So many times. Lots of laughter.

Finally got to some climbing at Pinns on Monday with Brad. He is what one could call a Tick Magnet. Fun day!
When you get back here JC, I’ll have a hug waiting for you, and KC too.

Happy 60th, Mr. Mud! They say 60 is the new 40, but for you, it's more like the new 30! You're in the prime of your life and going stronger and wiser than ever. We're lucky to have you in our lives. So let's raise a glass to you and celebrate all the amazing things you've accomplished so far. Here's to a fantastic year ahead - happy birthday!

Well I expect that Tuff Chix is gonna have to answer a very important question today. J.C. should probably be asking it. Here is the question he should ask:
When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a Valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four
You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you
I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four
Every summer we can rent a cottage
In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck and Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four.
Happy birthday John.

I'm pretty sure that I just heard birthday bells making a "clink, clink, clink" sound.
May 10, the anniversary of the German invasion of France and the Low Countries. It makes Jon's birthday easy to remember. Unless I've got it wrong in which case it screws up trying to remember.
What's the number, Clink?

View back up the textbook windblown alpine ridge/route from a meadow far below. I estimated the wind above treeline at 25mph on the way up and 35mph on the descent but there was no wind at the summit. A wild and rocky place (all marble).

Wow, good Mexican food in Kentucky. There's hope for us after all if Kentucky has good Mexican food?

Hiking around Mammoth Cave National Park (not many leaves yet but the red bud trees are blooming). Reminds me of Red River Gorge days - but this is a few hundred feet above the Green River. We hiked all but a few connector trails - all the trails were accessible from the campground (about 8 miles for the day).
