Obi's black mtn shuttle service, day 1

Left for black mtn at 8 am this morning, returned at 10 pm. Next shuttle service at 8 am tomorrow morning.

Yup, I'm doing two day trips. Why? I have two seperate and distinct crews that want to go to black mtn, and invariably, I'm the only person with a car that can do the last 6 mile dirt road up to boulder basin. Go figure.

It's fine - I like to drive. Besides, the couple of hours on the road gives me time to think anyways - even when I'm among friends, I can just sit back and "people watch", and blame my silence for having to pay attention to the road. I prefer listening to talking most of the time anyway.

As for black mtn today, it was myself taryn and erin. Steph couldnn't make it unfortunately. I would have liked to watch her crank on some black mtn problems - I'm curious to see how well she's climbing these days. After all, people always seem to climb stronger when single (I am... see below). I assume the same for her.

Taryn and Erin managed to send a summer project - flower pot right (V?) after some time. Celebration for that!

Myself? Not too shabby - sent Flight of the Courier (V6) and Big Greeney (V0), both loooooong time projects. The funny thing is that the attempt before the send, it already felt like I had sent them. There was this sort of calm and nonchalant mood within me that this was no big deal. As elated as I was to do them, they almost felt ... meaningless for some reason. Go figure.

On the brighter side, I wringed out all the negative vibes in me on my first half dozen attempts on flight of the courier - when I think back to the crap that was happening this week, it's not causing me any grief anymore.

And for big greeny, my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest, yet there was this central calm to the move. The last time I felt like that was the moments just before the last time I kissed a girl. :) Wonderful feelings being revisted.

I may have to try these two problems tomorrow.
