TR: Waiting for winter

[klar]

We currently seem to be living in a world of eternal sunshine, with one cloudfree, snowless day after another. I find myself surprisingly relaxed about this, maybe because I had a nice time in summer?

Favourite "let's be cool and happy and not frustrated and impatient" music.



If home is where the heart is, then this place is a home of sorts.



freak climbing



Is it so late already?



free peeling!



Lakes District





freak cruising



Me too.



El refu



Jesse arriving



freak leaving



This place is also nice



Jesse would agree.



What does the fox say?



freak doesn't know.





And I don't care.





Things got messy in the end





but it didn't matter.




Hasta la proxima



Back home there was some work "skiing" in the wilderness





and the ridiculousness.



Even here it's quiet sometimes.



We had a couple of ok days of "guess where the rocks are" in November.





Then it stopped snowing but at least the weather was still nice. Friend's dog was SO STOKED OMG THROW ANOTHER SNOWBALL OR I'M GONNA EXPLODE WITH EXCITMENT!









And now we're waiting around, patiently. So far.

TGR is like a girl you once dated who was super hot and fun and had a volcanic sexual appetite but was also a little crazy. Good crazy, like willing to drive to Baja on 15 minutes notice and sleep in a tent on the beach and show her tits to federales to avoid a bribe, and eat sketchy street food crazy. Also bad crazy, like run up your credit cards and tell the cops you pushed her down the stairs crazy.

And now she is married and 40 pounds heavier and has 3 kids and all that insane sexual energy and sense of adventure has apparently been re-channeled into a passion for Jesus Christ and looking at recipes and funny kitties on Pinterest and sitting on the couch for hours playing Candy Crush on an ipad her dullard husband won at a team-building event. There is no sign of her former self. She barely shows her tits to her husband, much less a sweaty corrupt cop in mirrored sunglasses. And she wouldn't go anywhere near Baja unless it was all-inclusive and would never DREAM of fucking you on a cooler full of Corona in the sand in the moonlight while some Mexican dudes watched from behind a nearby dune.

But your lizard brain holds out hope that underneath all that flab and useless Scripture and failed promise there is still a freaky demon hiding, awaiting re-emergence. So you check back in on her every once in awhile, just to see if there is any hope of her living up to her once boundless potential. Not even for your sake anymore but because the world deserves it. And it almost never pays off.

Except for times like now. Thanks!!!

And Strummer provides the cherry on top! So much win in this thread. Thanks for posting!

SO TRUE on so many levels Mr. Strummer

Nice pics, Klar. Looks like so many of us are in the holding pattern, waiting for winter to return...

[geo039]

Klar, sick as always. Team IBK keeping it reelz.

Great TR!

[hop]

Klar and JoeStrummer. Win.

[yellofin]

I will be back in France in three weeks. Your pictures make me even more impatient to return words can not describe the feeling I get when I'm there except joe who is a funny and talented storyteller

[LightRanger]

Radical. Thanks.

[mc_roon]

Great photos and a dead on description of TGR in the comments

[klar]

I can't say I ever dated a girl who I fucked on a cooler full of corona, we don't get much corona around here. Not many Mexicans either. Has TGR really gotten that bad though? It seems like there aren't neccessarily less TRs but more other stuff? Not all of the other stuff is bad and the rest is pretty easy to ignore. Some of the really funny people I remember from when I joined seem to post less or not at all anymore. I suppose I missed the really awesome early times that the oldtimers like to reminisce about when everyone was funny and hung out with each other all the time...

and I do feel very honoured by a response in my thread from one of the talented funny people that don't post much anymore

[geomorph]

Fantastic TR as usual. I think the perception is that there aren't many of similar quality these days.

[Shadam]

fantaz-moglorical pic's !!!

Is strummer trying to tell us his sex life is now non existant ...

[gravitylover]

Nothing finer. A Klar thread, a missive by Strummer and visits from Hop and Goldenboy and I'm getting geared up for a fatbike ride around my hill on a "powder day."

[Micol]

Nice TR on many levels

[thefrush]

Phenomenal. Simply stunning. Absolutely fantastic photography, storytelling, skiing, everything. Bravo.

[Bronic]

This is rad! Echo to what others have said. A refreshingly awesome TR!
