Favre... Bucs

As a fan of football and the bucs, I'd love to see Favre finish out his career with the bucs. I dont really care if it makes the bucs better or not, or even if they happen to win ANY games with him... I just wanna see him play until he doesnt want to play anymore... and it would get the bucs on TV around here, so maybe I'd get to watch and start to care if they win. Imagine a Bucs-Pack NFC championship game in the frozen tundra of Lambeau field. How many times do you think we'd see/hear the media hype about the bucs not being a cold weather team BUT now with Favre...

trip report

all is well, everyone safe... No drama on this trip except for a little lightning on our return hike, which doubled our normal pace. Dont get me wrong, it was fun and physically challenging.... and there was great scenery, but nothing like the Conundrum trip. Not a single obstacle that the doggies needed human assistance.

One of the highlights is Chritre's new camera, which when she was playin around with it friday night while we were waiting for fireworks she said 'I love you, camera'... or more like 'I nub ooooh, camewa' (it was funny, you had to be there)... Its an olympus stylus 1010... i think its 10 Mpixels... this thing takes amazing pics and is pocket size. There are some flowers in bloom along the trail we hiked and she got some really beautiful, artsy photos of the colorado state flower, the Columbine. We also took some photos of scenery that I know with my camera, for example, would have turned out like crap- you can either get a washed out sky with something in the foreground or try harder to get a non-washed out sky and lose the foreground- and still get a washed out sky... this camera did well with the scenery without doing anything fancy. Comparing this camera to mine or others that I have used is like comparing high speed cable internet to dial-up... there is no comparison.

Other important (to Gux) details: I did not settle into the regular bowel movement schedule, the trip wasnt long enough. Coco made up for that by having her ass open up like a faucet from drinking lotsa creek water, lake water, snow, etc. The liquishit express... I think shes better now.

adventure FYI

Guxaldine requested having foreknowledge of any back country excursion such as the one a couple of weeks ago:
Saturday Chritre, the girls, and I are goin backpacking nearby in the Indian Peaks Wilderness to Devil's thumb lake (devils thumb trail). It is very unlikely that we will experience any difficulty because there arent the obstacles that were on the previous adventure and there also isnt a pot of gold (hot spring) at the end of the rainbow (trail). There are many opportunities to opt out of continuing if the going gets rough, the trail is only 5.5 miles, and we're starting early. Ranger says that there are snowcrossings at the very top, where the lake is, and that we could lose the trail but with starting early and having other options to camp along the way, we wont be pressed into any difficult decisions. I'll have a trip report monday...
