Are women evil?

I don't think so, but Einstien seems to. I created, I mean, found this on the web:

Mt. Defiance #4

We did Mt Defiance for the fourth time. It sucked. It's supposed to be worth it....

Suck Ass Weekend

I have to say this weekend blew. We went for our training hike up Mt. Defiance and I was so tired I was resting on trees on the way up. Matt and Keevin had to wait a half hour at the bottom I was so slow.

On the drive home I wanted to get to my hot tub, so I drove a little faster than usual. I saw the police lights behind me and thought "Hah! Some asshole is getting pulled over." Oh wait, he's following me into the other lane. I'm the asshole. $427 ticket.

That night Keevin and I watched Aliens in the tub until we were like Jello. In the morning I got ready to go out and rent some more 24, cos like you, I like to watch Jack Bauer kick some ass. I go out my door and notice my car locks are up. "That'd be funny if my car was broken into" I thought to myself.

I got to the door and saw the broken window. Not so funny. They cracked my dash ripping out the stereo (the one night I didn't bring in the faceplate), stole the amps, bent the window trim, and lastly - stole my backup milkshake money from the glove box.

Mt. Defiance #3

Last Sunday was Mt. Defiance numero 3. We started at a respectable 8am after chowing on pancakes and eggs. Click for pictures:

Mt. Defiance #2

Today we did our second training hike up Mt. Defiance. This time it was Matt, Keevn, Aimee, her dag Kala and me. We figured out that our last hike was actually up Starvation Ridge (No. 414 via 414b) instead of Mt. Defiance (No. 413) The beginning was much easier this time when we went up the correct trail.

I used my new trekking poles and they made a world of difference. We left Portland at 4 am so we'd be back in time for the Superbowl. We topped out at 10 am after 4 1/2 hours, 2 of which were in snow. It was a perfect weather day, light wind, sunny and not too cold.
