  • Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

    Hi everybody! Haven't checked in for awhile - must apologize for being rather sidetracked from my climbing. Boy am I sore today from canoeing.... don't even think of asking how I found my way into a canoe to catch crabs (twice yesterday!) from 750(ish) flights up Everest... LOL


    Gotta run - session ending.... Catch y'all (or at will try to!) later!

    2 Ab Chal's; 6WEC#27 slug-Free; & more; 50# LOST in'06-
    but regained ~20# in '07 in less than 3 weeks! And again early '08 ...Was in HEAVEN -got to 150, for awhile, then got too busy, and gave in too much... and... OK holding pattern "keep it together..."

    .................OMG how did I fail AGAIN
    (((on temporary break)))
    Sigh ... I'll be back... life isn't always fair 10-07-09

                          I'm laughing at the thought that Jack didn't know he was climbing something!!!

                          I think I'd better transfer my applause to you Jimmie... congrats on Ben Lawers! Hope to join you on Vesuvius pretty soon, to finish up my trio of volcanos.

                          Awww... I feel mean... ok, Jack can keep his applause!

                            Just reporting in that I've moved to the last of my volcano trio: Vesuvius. Was going so slowly (like less than ten flights per day ) since that wretched car hit me, that I hadn't noticed I'd overshot the top of Etna! Lol.

                            Jimmie... (trumpeting in a Vesuvian shell)... "Are you theeeeerrrrre???"

                                We can link arms and stroll (!!!) to the top together then ... until that is, you get ahead of me, which will be almost immediately. These days, I can only manage the flights I clamber up one footed, and those are very uncomfortable .
