Missed that...too bad you posted after the fact without giving us any warning. :)

If I had known in advance I would have posted before the fact. :wink: I just happened to be watching Conan and they were the musical guest. It was during the week of shows that Conan did from San Francisco. Understandable that Ratdog would be one of the musical guests during that week.

That is cool. I read your post the other day. Commercial Dead.

DMC... Do I bring my boards next weekend? I hiked and got some small Patches at the River last weekend. Probably on the agenda again this weekend.

So doug has the season come to an end or is there a decent patch left? I got a 300 ft patch and another 150 foot patch on vortex at SR this weekend. I could live with that being the end. I'll hike hunter either way this weekend. I brought my gear back though.

I was thinking about camping on my friends property for mountain jam but my incision started bleeding yesterday. Too much, too soon. Gathering of the vibes is an option for me, if I'm not in Norway. (Don't worry Doug, I'll pick up some bacon in a tube if we can plan on meeting before it's expiration.) Aug 9 is my 5 year anni, so maybe I'll show up on the 10th or 11th.
