            And the winner is....Jimmie 48 (surprised?)

            Doesn't that crater look sort of like a giant mouth? (Maybe I should add blinking eyes... nah....I'm procrastinating too much work as it is, just being here!)

                  Reporting in for Vesuvius - marker 121... wish could make better progress, but just too many things taking me off to the side lately!

                  ...hey - here's an idea

                  Life won't let me handle things properly by being two places at once; but if I'm not mistaken, there's no reason I can't be climbing in more than one place at the same time...? LOL

                  That is just nuts... CYL...

                      Yep... yet here I am again, procrastinating. If only I could wear a wireless notebook and search online, post and read while climbing, as easily as going through other sorts of tasks simultaneously... Ahhh, that's probably not too far in the future, actually. Take a wireless MyVu rigged with the clouds & Wifi, strap a flexible keyboard to your arm, add a Wii-like pointer/scroller device...

                        The future is très scary!!! Just think... in the future, for this challenge, we'd probably have to climb Everest in an online simulator!!

                        Nice climbing Jack (Chrysler)!
                        Jimmie, your DH is very constant. He just plugs away quietly and clocks up those climbs! Nice.

                          jack does the climbing, i add the pennies. now that the offices are upstairs in relationship to his work area, he gets at least 5 flights per day.

                                Ahh.. way to go, Sassy!! (glad to see someone takes my goofy ideas to heart LOL) How does it feel climbing 2 places at once?

                                I'm at 150 on vesuvius, carrying only a viewer to my NASA-controlled satellite hovering way above me...at least I can see the top of this mountain before I get there - and before it's too late, if fate would have Vesuvius Eruption slated for my arrival time...




                                Hmmm.... Nasa seems to have a problem... Here's another shot from a neighboring spy cam:
