Quotes from no one.

Is this a thing now? Like van life? Owning a trendy new Tesla?

It feels like a micro aggression  :lol: :out: :ciappa:

feel any better?


I'm devolving into a full Peet's junky. Told a coworker this week (he was already awake, caffeinated on East Coast time) that, yes I'm online at 7am check emails and IMs, but I still hadn't had coffee so couldn't do a phone call right then. He kept typing. Then tried to voip call.  I replied again. 'No seriously, I'm not doing a call right now.'

Yeah, I think so.  It has been close to two Months.  Not as stressed, easier to unwind when I am.

Yes munge, you will feel better cutting back on coffee.

Mr mud, yes I to feel it’s easier to sleep if I have little or no caffine in the morning.

Buncha old geezers talking about their failing bodies.

Pete's French Roast, but I have cut back to one potent cup in the morning usually. I can still drink a cup in the evening and not have it keep me up, but then I sleep like a corpse most of the time.

Not me, 1 small cup in the am. If I had another at say 10am or later....I will not sleep the entire night.
Brutal, but good if you want to climb all night long....but not usually.

Earl Grey, then English Breakfast earlier, two cups of coffee with berry pancakes later. Time for a Sunday afternoon nap.

Good plan.

Weather look horrible.

Definitely not a Pinnacles day.

And the jets keep passing overhead!!! It’s terrible, so noisy I can’t hear myself.
You’d think I was living in Santa Cruz.

You seem to have a problem with tense and order.
All that caffeine and sugar must have rendered you delirious.
I recommend a heavy does of stance bolting on crud.  :yesnod: :thumbup: :biggrin:

HA!

In spite of all you rabid first ascentionists, as of Monday I'm back to a point where I've done every climb at Pinnacles easier than 5.10.

Countdown to the day another goes up and it's too hot and late-season to go down there: 10, 9, 8, 7....
