Quest for Mud (Special Edition)

Always surprises me that they don't shut the gate to Death Valley with these types of temps.

Hi

clink - I am keeping track of your keystrokes and I have a pull up bar in the garage.

 O

[clink]

I quip.

My theory is the marauder crawled into my hiking boot while it was unattended (while I was climbing). When I put my boot back on, it latched on and engorged itself and one of two things happened. Either it felt poisoned and vomited the meal back into me or my leg moving around in the boot popped it while it was full.
I never felt a thing. All I saw when we got home was a crusted spot of blood on my skin with a surrounding circle of redness. It wasn't until I scraped off the blob of dried blood that we realized there was indeed a buggy vampire in the coagulated quagmire.  


On a more positive note, Dave had a club membership that allowed us all to enjoy a complete tasting of the fare at Chalone Winery. We sat and enjoyed the vino and the view from their balcony and then bought a nice selection - and of course - Kat joined the Pinnacles Club.  

How is the bite?

Seems to be fine. Thanks for asking.
Still just looks like a mosquito bite. There has been no itch, no soreness, no increase in redness or enlargement of the small, slightly red spot (half an inch in diameter). No unusual physical symptoms.

It got a bit redder Sunday but that was likely a result of being out in the intense heat.
Probably lucky I didn't spontaneously combust

I don't think there is much chance of him doing a kip-up.
His failed landing might register on local seismographs
Tricia might be able to teach us something about doing crazy, bendy launches

You joke, but I just bought a fire extinguisher for the next time I climb with you at Pinns.

It's nice and cool here - 73 in the house with the windows open - benefits of coastal living

Yup, it's warm, thank god for AC.

Pinns in the evening would be quite nice.

How many people on here have lived back east (besides Noal) where it doesn't cool down at night?

Had another one this past weekend
