Best Wishes, good vibes and prayers for Gary!

[Gary]

Lynn..no pain meds but just high on life...my forearm is starting to have normal motions again. I'm trying to restrain myself from yard work...hmm....and weight training that side but I see the Dr. on the 22nd to remove stitches. Figure if he'll except my arm wrestling challenge, I might be able to start swinging the golf club....yeah, yeah...the yard work and garden shovel too!

And Jim...I think your schlepping punishment should be extended just cause we know there will be more insurrection (oh boy? ) on my part and Ron just stimulating you (? Watch out) to explode ( Yikes) into words that may be abrasive albeit unintentionally and in most cases most witfully applied.

So Jim, let the Maelstrom rip? and accept your fate and title of "Most Venerable Baggage Shelper"!?

Best,
Gary

In my estimation, Jim was UNABLE to swim away from this.
Yes, folks, once again, Jim has 'volunteered'  to carry my luggage at the airport.
HEH, heh, heh,

The only way out Jim, is to NOT show up for RS3.
I don't recommend that. Too much fun to be missed.

Gary, I think I will pass on the? "stimulating".? ? ? You forget what an all-around nice, well intentioned person I am.

Lynn, you Bronx charmer you!!? No wonder Gary recommended the "temptress" ski for you.? ?
I did "volunteer" last year, but it was ONLY to pick you and Ron up at the airport? I do seem to remember, however, that after four hours on the plane with you Ron decided to make other arrangements? ?? I think he chose to walk from the airport??
I can only assume that, at your advanced age,? ? STML must be bothering you this spring.? However, there is an easy way to 'manipulate' me into schlepping your luggage and even your skis.? Being a Kansas gentleman, I would NEVER refuse a LADY? were she to simply ask for such help (and maybe even appreciate the gesture).?

 ? However, I don't at all mind playing the game while you try to lure me into some mis-deed that results in "Forum Judgement" against this simple Kansas hick.? ? Maybe the judges will be more objective and less likely to show favoritism to the lady this year than last.?
Bring on your A-game, babee!!



BOY, it's still April.? What will it be like in October.

[midwif]

Yes, it's true. Ron chose to ride with another friend after he saw the sight of sleeping me on the plane,
drool oh so delicately slipping down my chin. The result of too many Bronx cheers thru the years, I guess.

Oh well, I guess I will have to pull my own overloaded ski bag filled with coffee makings, frother, french press etc,
in addition to transpack, luggage bag and smaller travel bag.

I wouldn't dream of really asking you to help Jim. I know you are at the older end of this crowd and what with your two back surgeries and atrophied leg muscles, any added muscular strain would be too much.?

[jim-ratliff]

I don't suppose you could help me with my bags, could you??? ?
I'm not just at the older end, at 59 I think I am the oldest posting.

[midwif]

Why OF COURSE I'll help you Jim. I mean, I will ONLY be lugging my own body weight in luggage, so will be able
to help you with your burden.?
A small request: only one or two pairs of skis this time??? ;)The four you brought last year mostly went unskied and I am not as strong as I used to be.

WOW midwif!!? Lugging your own body weight in luggage.? That must be a damn heavy coffee pot and fluffer.? But that is very nice of you to take pity on poor old Jim.

At first? I chalked this up to Jim's senility (see his post in "I sat there with my head"), but now it is obvious that this is a clear-cut case of misuse of? Moderator power. ? Not that I wouldn't join the fray and sling mud but the coffee pot and fluffer gives it away as other than my own quote.? Is there like a tribunal or something I can appeal to?? Waiting for another tornado to hit Kansas just isnt' my style.

I feel very wrongly accused and methinks young Brad doth protest too much.   

However, it does look to me like we have another candidate for Lynn's luggage schlepping duties.

How callous of him to cast such aspersions of flabbiness on a lady of Lynns sophistication and breeding (never mind that she once admitted that she weighs 156 lbs)?

I feel very wrongly accused

Why? ? did I miss something else you should be accused of, St. Raymund? (patron saint of the wrongly accused, I know this because my son chose it for his confirmation name)

and methinks young Brad doth protest too much.? ?

pish posh.? Deliberate obfusification, nothing more.? Remember when you point a finger at someone, three more point back at you.?

However, it does look to me like we have another candidate for Lynn's luggage schlepping duties.

I'll carry a tune, carry grant, carry a gun, even commit hari carry,? but I don't carry luggage.? (My sherpa duties at home notwithstanding)

How callous of him to cast such aspersions of flabbiness on a lady of Lynns sophistication and breeding (never mind that she once admitted that she weighs 156 lbs)?? ?

? A gentleman NEVER comments on a ladies weight so I don't think I need to state the obvious.....

[midwif]

The things a guy will do to get out hauling some minor pieces of luggage!!
Using your power as a mod to manipulate posts! For SHAME.

Good thing Brad has a sense of humor or you might be voted off the mountain.

( too late Brad, I already read your post where you did ask if I weighed 156 )

Fortunately, that is not the case.

or you might be voted off the mountain.

? When can we start?
