we sold our VWvan - so hard to do but the right thing even though no one feels really ready to quit, but circumstances change - and that led to dealing with the collection of hardware that Tom has kept from his years of climbing, and then we dealt with the camp gear we kept in the van - but the with give away's and Goodwill and a little bit of creative storage capacity (my department) the pile is gone, and hardware is thinned and the Van will have new happy owners - a busy few days............................

(this getting old -er  shit sucks!)
