Well this conversation takes me back to one of my life's most innocent and embarrassing moments.  Was definitely in my younger years when gas stations quit having attendants pump your gas.  I did not

Thanks @Jordan7, I'm safe here and hoping everyone else in Cali is ok. Stay safe everyone!

Hope your air quality holds...and your asthma doesn't flair.

 

I think most of our Cali mob are south.

G67 is not far from the Getty fire. 

I am in contact with 10 or so friends in Northern Cal that had to evacuate from the Kincade fire and also pal on the Carquinez Straits that got burning hot yesterday. 

They said the wind is just outrageous.

It's classed as a level 3 hike..whatever that is...

 

I'm assuming it's being graded using the Yosemite Decimal System.  A Class III climb would involve scrambling and the use of hand holds.  Some Class III climbs would include ropes for assistance.  

 

It sounds like a good bit of fun.  Hope you enjoyed yourself up there.

Unfortunately my asthma is flairing because of the air quality even though the fires are well away from us 😞

The goat man approves of your effort.  It's all about progress...

According to Doreen's Cragger's Atlas this route is graded FC2.2.1 (Free Climb using two hands, two knees, and one arse).

A man walks in to a bar (no not a joke) and starts asking random strangers for a beer, explaining that he hasn't had a beer all day and he is almost having a nervous breakdown because of it. Will someone give him a beer? Or maybe a sip of there own beer? No of course not!
Now if you replace the beer with the word cigarette, he will be offered more than 1...

 

*mind blown*

This won't be an easy Christmas, dear one.

Be kind to yourself and love well those you love.

My children got me Alexa for Christmas.  She is the lady in the box that plays music for me.  My husband hooked the lights in the house up to her so all you have to say is "Alexa turn the light  on", in whatever room you are in.  My husband just asked her to turn the lights on and she responded in a way too pleasant tone "sure".    I am thinking that, when my husband retires next month,  he is going to like Alexa much better than me.  After 42 years of marriage, I don't think I can change my tone of voice at this point.  😂

I'm bona fide, certified, and thoroughly vetted now.

 

I'm in the process of setting up a new account at work with a company that has contracts with the military.  To get clearance I had to go through a thorough background check.  Received notification earlier today that I cleared every hurdle.

 

For the record: the Federal Government of these United States of America has deemed ol' Boo a citizen in good standing and not a threat to the Republic.

 

So...I got that going for me.

Try to calm down and relax.  I know Christmas is right around the corner, but that's no reason to drive yourself crazy over the next three weeks.

 

You may not find that "perfect" gift.  The Christmas dinner may not turn out to be the culinary experience of the century.  And that's okay.

 

If you're like me, you are far from perfect the rest of the year.  Why would the holidays be any different?

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
