Hey Ox

“Ah I see.”

“yo kid! when does your gear arrive?”

“Friday. I'm freaking excited. Hey I'm thinking of adding a few Mt. Mitchell pics to my album. Any objections?”

“no objections”

“thanks Ox, about the boots.”

“Just let them know I'm coming”

“when are you going?”

“I'm not 100% sure but I have that party at 2 pm on saturday, so maybe on my way to Reading”

“yo, this may bring back some memories

“Yes it does. I may be going up there next weekend when my sister gets home”

“instead of backpacking on the AT? You mean the weekend of the 12th-14th?”

“Yeah. Tom wants me to go to a Koi show for the huge pond he's building. check it out

So I have to see if there is time”

“did you make a webshots page? looks like you may have your galleries as private. It won't let me see.”

“Oh yeah, I just changed it. Try again”

“post a new link”

“same thing”

“post a link for your homepage”

“holy cow! Tom's getting pretty far on it. Man is it deep though. Looks like it is 8 or 9 feet from the pics, big too.”

“Yeah it is 54 feet long by 15 feet wide by 8 feet deep. As a safety precaution I forced Tom to add a sumerged pool ladder in the deep end”

“you could seriously go swimming in there should you want to. Probably not when you have an indoor pool at your disposal though.”

“You.
Have.
Mail.”

“Actually, I plan to before we put fish in it. The next part is the lining, and then the bridge. The hard partr is that we have not tested the waterfall, or the underwater returns. This pond could come with a current”

“lol

I bought a couch and comfy chair today. I actually own real furniture now. lol You and Kate should come here instead of Ricketts Glen.”

“you got bottom drains going in there ox?”

“oh, i see em now”

“Y2 yeah there are two, and 3 skimmers. It's more high tech than the pool”

“We should come to your place? I have to get out if I'm ever going to backpack this year. Hey that PA grand canyon trip in September seems like long mileage, but not too technical. What do you think?”

“Incoming!”

“Uh...should have an attachment but I'm not sure that it went?”

“It did, thanks I think”

“yeah, the PA Grand Canyon Trip is an easy one. Let's do the friday nighter on the AT on the 12th.”

“Let me think about it”

“awesome”

“Yo Mike, sign up for this trip. Virginia's high point. Pretty cool mountain.

also, on the AT trip tomorrow, it'll be better for you to meet in Duncannon vs York. It'll be a lot less driving for you.”

“hi mail.”

“male coming back your way”

“no male here, YOU TEASE!”

“ok, I resent your male”
