Douglas! What are you trying to say? Are we not winning any beauty contests this year? Maybe we will get the congeniality award. I hear it's made of titanium.

Hmm,

Douglas, I'm becoming less and less surprised you're single. Heh, heh.

"Douglas, I'm becoming less and less surprised you're single. Heh, heh."

Wait! Sh*t. Did I say that stuff out loud!? Inner voice, inner voice! I always forget that!

LOLz

Great pics Thomas! I remember doing that when I was younger. Good looking little man you have there.

Hey don't pick on Dougles too much I'm still single too (my little sister informed me that she wanted to be an aunt soon and expects me to do something about it:).

>>I thought Diane would be a bit younger (THAT DOES NOT MEAN DIANE LOOKS OLD!!!)

Well, there's my first concrete indication that the bloom has finally, irrevocably faded off my youth. It's a sad sad day. Guess I'll have another glass of wine.

On the other hand, even though I'm old enough to be some of you all's mothers, I can hike 30 miles a day if I want to. I couldn't do that when I was 20, or even when I was 30.

Here's another picture of me leaving from my front door to hike from Santa Barbara to the PCT.

"Well, there's my first concrete indication that the bloom has finally, irrevocably faded off my youth."

That's not what I said! I .... I ..... oh heck. I give up.

Does BPL sell that switch that supposed to engage the brain BEFORE the vocal chords? I hope it's carbon fiber.....

The way I read it... Douglas thought Diane was a young teenage hiker -- but Diane turned out to be a lady hiker.







(Doug -- you owe me.)

That pic sure brings back memories. Back in 1975 I spent 5 blissful months spearfishing about 25 miles south of Tulum.
We were based in a Mayan village named Shamach(Xamac). Thank for tickling my memory, James.

Hey Doug, I thought you wanted ugly.

"You did even worse than that, Douglas, you put it down in writing. Never, never, NEVER!

"Hey Doug, I thought you wanted ugly."

One surefire way to get a date -- go ugly early and avoid the rush.......


I did it again, didn't I .... Sigh

Mt Lassen last July.

This is Dinner and me (I'm the one on the left)


And my Nepalese friend Taj and me (on the right this time...)
Saw him this morning in town. He was back in Nepal for a month recently. (without me...)

Don't stress man, once I saw your picture I wasn't going out with you anyway. ;}

I give up...I am not a panda.

I'm on the right-- at Guitar Lake near the end of my JMT thru-hike.

Bearded and grimy should be ugly enough

Hey Tom C was that 1st pic with your little guy at Bake Oven Knob?
