Way too many under prepared people on Everest now days. I have read every book known to man on the mountain, and would have done anything to see it 20 years ago. Not now....
News clip was showing the line of people "waiting" near the summit.

I looked over at my wife and said "where's the exclusivity? What NOW makes this special?"
Not that I ever had ambitions to do it, but dang...

Exactly. I bet less people have climbed Spencer Mountain here in Gaston County.
 
11 g's for a permit to do it. I cringe at thinking about paying $70 for a ticket for Carowinds.
I'm offering an all-expenses-paid trip to any given lake just to see who can out swim me. You pay the Navy seals an hourly wage to be on standby and I'll buy the beer. :p

Google news feed. I read everything, so I now get suggestions for all kinds of stuff. I get suggestions from Breitbart to The Root, Wall Street Journal, CNN, WWII history stuff, Bachelor/Bachelorette, and of course tons of racing and auto related stuff too. The comment section on The Root is probably the most entertaining and eye opening for me.

I just want to go on one of your expeditions on the water dude. Camp, cook, drink beer and raise hell!
And i'll bring the steaks.
Of all people, you know i'm serious.
