Good evening Lodge.

Good luck bigblue. Drug cartels, guerrillas, coked up bush pilots, snakes and spiders. Sounds like a fun time. Quick......when is Canada Day?
Trick question, Boxing Day is where its at.

Remember Z = Zed, a Timmy = coffee, and even though it's pre-season you don't think the Leafs have a shot in hell to win The Cup. :D

You kidding me? They're already planning the Cup parade route in Toronto as we speak.

Morning/Night. Still awake because I drank a monster on the drive back to Albany from Yankee Stadium. Quite a night, likely going to be a bit raspy talking tomorrow, er, later today.

True. However, the coked up cartel supporting guerrilla fighting snake weaing bush pilot did not find your 22 minute delay in answering the question amusing. ;)

Good morning Lodge.

Good morning Lodge. Back in the office after three days on the road. My co-worker said it's 5% Friday. Where you only do 5% of the work you normally do. I'm up for that, given I feel like crap. Coming down with a cold, plus I have a head ache. I think I will head home after lunch.

Spent the day yesterday at the US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, which is a very cool place. We had a Customer Appreciation Day for some of our affinity clients down in the North Carolina. Only one showed up. Which was pretty disappointing. That said, we all had a good time. We had Brandi Chastain there, as well as a kid named Vincent Hancock. With all the talk about shooting, I wanted to mention him as he is a gold medalist in Men's Skeet Shooting, in 2008 and 2012. And he's only 25. So goldy, have junior keep it up and you could see him in a future Olympics. And someone asked Brandi what she thought of Hope Solo and she said I don't like her. And you can report that. Oooookay then. :) She's pretty awesome.

While there I did the zip line - anyone ever do something like that? Also, they have this walk off a plank 46 feet in the air thing. You have to climb a telephone pole, then step out onto this platform, walk to the corner, and step off it. You're in a harness so you just float down. It was really awesome. And then we did some whitewater rafting, which would have been truly spectacular if it was, like, 85 and sunny and not 68 and cloudy. But still a very fun experience.

Let's not encourage him too much. He's looking at colleges with trap and skeet teams along with what he wants to study, instead of what he wants to study and low tuition.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Did Brandi take her shirt off? :D Can't believe I'm the first to ask that.

I've never had the opportunity to do a zipline. I used to rock climb back in my 20's, and during that I've gone rapelling as a result of making it to the top of a route while rock climbing. What I'd really like to do is what's called an Aussie Rappel. That's where you rappel down the cliff while facing downward. It just sounds like an amazing rush and an excellent excuse to soil one's self.

I have jumped out of planes and I have rafted some of the nastiest whitewater there is. I have never done a zip line or bungee jumped.

Afternoon.

I bungee jumped once in 1992. I've also zip lined. That's about it for dangerous physical activity.

I can/could stand on the edge of an open airplane door ready to leap out but for some reason rock climbing and bungee jumping scare the crap out of me.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

I have never had any urge to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, or off a cliff.

The key to rock climbing is to have a harness, rope and belayer that you trust to keep you from going splat on the ground below. Once you trust them, then it's just a matter of trusting yourself to move up the wall. It's a technical process as much as anything. The fact that you're so very focused on the wall in front of you sort of puts the height out of your mind until the climb is done.
