Did old rag in the snow - aint that ice a bitch! Let's say rather than hiking we scrabbled up the rocks and slid down the other side. Training all the time or not, my inner-thighs and knees took a beating keeping upright (usually). Seth found a really cool irish pub which I am ashamed that Kel and I missed all those years (it's only blocks from the Carousel ice-cream place). Nothing to finish off a long icy hike like a tuna steak with crab and hollandaise sauce. And Guinness. Gloat!

Tonight would have been restful, except that when I came home I found that not only had the rodents outside laid into my windows (though it seems the foil or my delicious-smelling spice mix discouraged them - can't tell as dark as it is) but the ones inside had made a royal mess out of the insulation in the ceiling and eaten the poison. I thought it over, figured if they ate the poison they were gonna die anyway only slowly, so I put the glue traps up there. Leaving the graphic parts out, I got little sleep and caught & killed 2 rodents. The graphic parts are...graphic. I put another trap up there.

Gonna be a long day at work today - got my MSJ done over the weekend, but I got little sleep last night. There are complications with my settlement agreement as the position the guy is supposed to return to is filled. The mgt official I was dealing with whose multiple mistakes I revealed (as politically nicely as I could) has gone from her stance of mitigation to a hard-nosed punishment perspective - it seems she hung out with the Director and now has built up more personal friend clout and is cashing in hard (in other areas, not just on my one case). Politics ugh. Hate to sound misogynistic, but I'm referring to the uneducated female click of managers as hens.

I did Old Rag back in early January before I returned to N'awlins and before the snows came, and I felt somewhat unsteady even then. Hardcore, man.

Not to mention the fact that he kills and eats rats afterward. HARD CORE.

Hey, I learned to bite the heads off first from survivorman - and I figure it's the most merciful way. No wasted materials and it's arguably similar to their deaths in the wild. Only, in my mouth.

you fail epically at fellatio

Your derisive comment regarding their lack of education would have had more credibility had you properly spelled clique.

just sayin'

Damn phonetics...wow, I uh...wow. Der.

See, now if I had gone on the "hike"...

All y'all would have been dragging my tired, broken and dead body off the mountain. ;)

That whole rat/squirrel issue sucks. Having to manually rid yourself of the not-quite-dead-yet rodents is an awful way to spend a night.

Good luck with the work stuff...

I figure at least I have the ... whatever to make it quick. I'm afraid they sufferred more than I anticipated, so I'm still uh...working on this project. Snappy traps may be soon-coming.

and my knees have decided they want a few days off......

ouch.

Ditto - no squats today, 100% upper body and non-joint leg stuff (if any leg stuff at all). Still, the post-hike foods & booze nailed it.

Did I mention up all night with rodents? Loving life in the office today!

You are SO INVITED though! So very! :(

I have (105MB) pictures from yesterday. I can email you a few choice ones, or I can post a CD to you of all of them, or something else that you suggest.

One of my knees is painful in a bursitis-y way, the other perfect. I think I need better hiking boots.

Clique, not click.

[vicar.livejournal.com]

Yes yes...kinda lost some emphasis with my fonaytick spelling there...

Not so interested in the pics except for those with us in them.

[predigested.livejournal.com]

I don't immediately see your email. I'm at predigested at gmail dot com. Ping me.

You really need to figure something out with those rats.
