Coffee talk

[Darkstone42]

Good morning!

I went bowling until midnight last night, went to bed around 1, and woke up at 7 to get to work at 8:30. I don't even know if we'll be able to do any work today.

Regardless, I'm leaving early today so I can go home and watch the Wildcats play for the College World Series title.

well, I climbed a fucking mountain today.

finally did the Grouse Grind. nearly killed me.
about 2 miles long, but a 2,800 feet climb.
glad I did it, but didn't enjoy a moment of it.

Walking, biking, what? I'm not familiar with the Grouse Grind.

The most climbing I've ever done was 3000 feet, from 8000 to 11,000. There was no path, just a 45- to 60-degree incline and some loose rocks. I took a break every couple hundred feet. It was exhausting.

walking. It's what the Canucks always make the prospects do as a team-building exercise.
but I took 3 times longer than them


it's 2 miles of this, pretty much. some sections steeper, some sections without the railroad tie steps, just constantly UP.

Looks very nice. I did seven miles very similar to that, but it wasn't all up, and I waded through a creek at one point, although that part wasn't actually on the path and it almost resulted in me getting lost...

I need sleep, darn it!

I've been useless today, you know, aside from the whole figuring out why the laser didn't work thing, and the whole opening the chamber, cleaning the nozzle, replacing the o-ring, putting the nozzle back in, closing and pumping down the chamber, cleaning the sample holder, and pumping argon through the lines thing. And now the whole ordering the laser curtains thing, and the whole looking for errors in the code thing.

how long did it take?

last time I tried to climb it I was hungover. I got half way and had this backpack that turned into a chair. at the halfway point I pulled out the chair and this cute blonde came up to me and said "hey that is a really cool....."

I fucking threw up right at her feet. just couldn't hold it. holy fuck it was classic. Im laughing out loud now typing this. those mcdonalds breakfast burritos are not pretty coming up anyway she didn't give me her number lol

I also thought it was seriously unprofessional of this guy storming out of his office because I disagreed with him.

i may have posted it before but when my now wife and I started dating, one of our first dates was to do the grouse grind ... i was 44 minutes and she was 47

we did it 2 years later ... in the same physical shape ... in 1 hour 15
