I saw that but haven't watched it yet


I really really like WHITE Rabbit Project

 

Wife gave me "No Escape" for Valentines day. Wonder if she is trying to tell me something?

 

Its a Trap!!!

 

Its ok, Its a trap I can live with.

 

:-) aren't we all funny that way!

 

I watched Meru over the weekend, which was another Mountaineering movie, like Into the void, or Everest.


It was more of a documentary of climbers and their struggles, and what drove them. I am glad I watched it, before signing up to climb Everest. Everest was also a documentary of mountaineering. It was similar in many ways, I guess, but Everest left me with a desire to want to climb it, and Meru made me glad I haven't tried it, and that it takes a very determined person to deal with what they go through. People with way more drive and focus than I have.


They cut to sceen of removing their boots, at the end of one of the trips, and the were fighting a cross between trench foot, and frostbite, most of their skin on the front of their feet had fallen off. I can't walk right with a sliver in my foot or a bruised heel, I can't imagine staying on track with feet that looked and felt like that.

 

Don't forget the $50,000 plus to do Everest-- I looked into it once when I was much younger.

 

There was an article that you could do it for around 30,000 depending on how much you paid a Sherpa, and how many oxygen bottles you chose to carry, and have him carry for you.

 

and plane tickets to get there and you gotta buy a tshirt at the top that says "I did Everest"-- or the Himalayas has great peaks- or something

 

HAHAHA!!! Yep, suppose you are right.

 

Been watching Canada's worst drivers-- cool show

 

It's crazy how they ruin perfectly good cars, and how clueless some of the drivers are about how automobiles work.


Crazy Canucs!!!

 

Watched Scout's guide to the zombie apocalypse. Meh. The previews made it look better than it was.


Also watched the infiltrator and it was really good. Both are included with amazon prime.

 

I will have to watch for the Infiltrator, I haven't heard of it.


Over the weekend I watched 8 peaks, about Bill Burke, whom climbed 8 peaks, and one of the last which was Everest, almost climbed it twice in one trip. He started to climb one side, which he had already done from my understanding, then there was an avalanche, then he went over to the other side and climbed it instead.


He keeps in shape by taking his paralyzed grandchild on bicycle rides for up to 40 miles per day.


I lose the will to live after one mile on a bike.

 

I have been wanting to see both of those.
