Where's Gramps?

What were you hiking? Bad idea to be above treeline when the thunderstorms roll in. I'm sure your urgency was warranted.

No reason to stop dating though. They're harder to find, but competent people with common sense do exist.

Thanks but it is not going to happen or work. We were put to the test today .. failure.
The hiking situation could have become serious, thunderstorms moving in and we are near the top of a mountain, we had to to pick up the pace and get off the peak and she just quit .. her feet hurt but so did mine. I carried her pack on top of mine over 50 pounds total .. hoping she would speed up she had to stop and rest every 50 yards for 5 minutes.. she just plain quit in a critical situation.. I finally was able to get her going again we were on trail for over 5 hours .. it was miserable waiting all the time for her to catch up .. I told her the only way out was to walk no matter how much it hurt..at the end of the day a quick kiss on the cheek I think that says it all.. I think it was a good test to see how well we could work together in a very difficult situation.. we couldn't and I was becoming increasly pissed at her .. I see now I am a lone wolf and I pretty much like it that way.. If I ever do this again somebody please shoot me..

Yikes..usually my dates involve..bowling, mini-golf, maybe some margaritas and sometimes I bust out the Running Man. But back in college..I met my Ex through a friend hiking. We hiked Mount Mansfield via the Long Trail and she was uber slow but determined to make the top. I shared my Reeses Peanut butter cups with her and she survived..then that night she called me and we hung out and we became a couple soon after..well a few years later she became psycho and we had our ups and downs and then we broke up..got back together and broke up for good. Then last summer I saw her on JDate and e-mailed her..we talked a bunch on the phone..and had two dates..but we couldn't get over some of the dookie from the past and she was looking for marriage and kids while I just wanted some fun..oh well...live and learn..don't give up...you seem to meet women real easily..get back on the horse and try again or get back with the girl whose a lousy hiker..hiking isn't the end of the world..I don't care if the woman of my dreams is a skier..as long as she is fun and likes my humor and doesn't have a goatee or a triple chin..or cankles..I'm happy.lol

Is this the girl you were talking about in the shitty cake story?

I still tell people about that.

Yeah that!

I'm not saying you need to get out there and be looking. But don't give up the game either. You've been by yourself for a long time and very set in your ways, I understand. Sharing your life with someone else requires compromise, communication, compassion, empathy, some selflessness... a lot of work at times. It's not always easy to do that work. But it can be worth it.

Sorry about the bad hike. Just because this one didn't work out doesn't mean it always won't. Thinking of you...

She claimed to love hiking and did it all the time and she even picked the trail ...

When mates are on the prowl they will say anything to get the ring....8)

 

[severine]

She will have to have a snowboard strapped to her feet ..

There's nothing wrong with that.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

beer makes me happy too ..

Beer and sex in the same day is better...add a powder day...a fat doobie..and a big steak...and that's my ideal day..

...

Yup..she thought we were going to get married..GSS married in his mid 20s..yeah right..I could have like a 3 year old by now..doh..:smash:

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Once the grand kids are older and I retire I would like to live several seasons out at Mount Bachelor out west .. that is my long term plan right now..

Of all places why Mount Bachelor??? Is it because of the name?

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Because I can .. want to go to a ski town not a tourist attraction..

Bend???

 

[MRGisevil]

I hope this fourm is still around when you graduate to gramp-dom. That will be fun :smash:

No way, man! I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory before I hit 40. You just watch. It'll be something spectacular like girl wrestles bear and gets eaten.

 

[MRGisevil]

Be sure to hang a bottle of Rolaids around your neck when you do .. I think the bear is going to need them afterwards ...

Well, I'd ask if you wanna wrestle him with me, gramps, but I don't think there's enough geritol on the market to help him digest your crotchedy old butt!

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Yes Bend .. I know it is a tourist attraction but not like some other areas...

I'd go for the Rockies if you want light and dry powder..way better than Sierra Cement..

 

[Hawkshot99]

I might be wrestling true but what makes you think it would be with the bear my sweet ? ..

Thats what i was thinking. I was gonna volunteer to "help" her!:-D

 

[MRGisevil]

I might be wrestling true but what makes you think it would be with the bear my sweet ? ..

Stand down, gramps. You don't have a chance in hell against me! I'd pick the bear if I were you :lol:

 

[Beetlenut]

View attachment 1607 So your going to take me dear ..
Oh since I don't believe in a hell that means I have a pretty good chance .. notice the arm size..

Arm size?! You've never seen Marge wield a parabolic ski, like a ginsu I tell ya! She could neuter a cat from 155cm away!

OsbME might be concealing his extra arms with the back pack since he works at the nuclear power plant, could be like fighting a couple people.

Yes, people often mistake the OLD part of his alias for old, but it really stands for "Octopus Like Dude".
