Alright. I'm considering the purchase of a computer so that it will be easier to upload pics. After all, a pic is worth a thousand words, or in the case of the big one on OBJ at least a bajillion words as WSR puts it.

I'm at work and off to Ecuador in a couple hours. A bit nervous. Will Ecuador hold tropical sun or freezing run-off from 20,000ft volcanos? First-Ds in the creeker or big water play? Huge waterfalls or millions of Robe boofs? I'm bringing a bit of everything - except clothes of course. 2 T-shits, 2 shorts, 2 pants, 2 sweaters. Not much for two weeks. I do have lots of paddling gear and first d/"ok so now we're gonna bivy in the jungle" gear. Hope the whole "motherfucking boats on this motherfucking plane" deal works out, as Samuel L Jackson would say.

Pura Vida to my amigos headed to Costa Rica. See all ya'll round x-mas!
