Motorcycle!

Dropped gabriel_le off at J&A's by motorcycle today. Woot! First ride of the season... awesome day for it -- bright, sunny, and not too chilly.

Of course, at least 2 or 3 times along the queensway I was wishing for German highway drivers, rather than North American idiots who don't have proper lane use behaviour.

Climbing -- good & bad

I finally got back out climbing today after two weeks off. I only ended up bouldering, cause when I went to pick up the guy I was going to climb with, he wasn't home. Oops.

I climbed for about 1.5 hours, before my hands started screaming at me too loudly. All those wonderful calluses I'd built up -- they're mostly gone. Argh. Also, my right knee has been twinging for the last few days, and got unhappier. Luckily I won't be climbing again until Tuesday, so it should get a chance to recover.

When I got home, gabriel_le told me I had a package delivery notice. I picked that up and found it was from my sister, C. Upon opening, it was a climbing care-package. Her partner (my brother-in-law, R) is seriously into mountain-climbing, has instructed ice-climbing, and he loaned me several books on climbing that he recommends. He also gave me a few items, including a rope bag. And, offered to teach me more about climbing when he's in Ottawa (at our parents' cottage) over the summer. Coolness!

Wow, do I ever have a mountain of laundry to do.
