Bailey's birthday was yesterday... he turned... one year older than he was. I probably should know this... but then, there are alot of things I should know. Here's the birthday boy in Vegas.
Happy birthday Bailey... I miss you.
Today, April 11th, is the official day of closing on my boat. Not going to lie... its a bit scary.
Now I just need to get some work done, and find a home for her.
This last weekend, a bunch of friends and I went climbing in KY's Red River Gorge. We went down on Saturday morning, early... way early. I was not in the best condition, due to the celebrations of buying a boat the night before. That made Saturday's climbing not so good for me. I felt good until the middle of the first climb... then I was pretty much dead.
Sunday was a much better day for me climbing. We went to Pistol Ridge and climbed 3 sport routes (a 5.7, 5.8 and a 5.10a... my first lead of a 5.10!), and a few trad routes. I did not second any of the trad... because I was tired, and do not have good crack skills. We then went to Roadside crag where my buddy BJ climbed the picturesque Ro Shampo which is one of the most amazing climbs. The moves are not hard, about 5.10, but the wall is overhung by 15 degrees... and its pretty long. Then we went down the path for an easier route for me to lead (90 foot 5.8).
Some mexican food and we headed home. People are going to wonder about the scars on the backs of my hands from climbing.
So... I bought the boat on Friday. Not going to lie... a little scary. Usually the greatest experiences start as being scary.
Guess I should learn how to sail!
