you know it's been too long when....

You know it's been too long since you've climbed/camped/seen the light of day when:

Even though better options are available you eat those lunch to go tuna packets at work.

You hope every day for a power outage so you can fire up your camp stove.

Everyone thinks your crazy because you sleep on the floor in your down bag. At home in the living room.

You eat your lunch on the tailgate of your truck in the parking lot at work. It's 10 degrees out.


I suppose all those could also mean that you have been out climbing and camping TOO much, as well.
Add something to the list.

Um... you use your headlamp a lot at home to save on the electric bill??? Yeah that's it.

Your quick draws become bottle openers and pots and pans are the only things hanging from your cams

The bank building on the corner looks like it will go at 5.9

I thnk that is a consequence of climbing too much, I see lines up all the local churches, the lexington courthouse looked like a fun climb, and basically any old house with a line of door and window ledges travesing the living room

Did that this Christmas, but it was because I was too lazy to go buy scotch tape. Funny that you mentioned it, though.

[krampus]

I figured I was't the only one, only I found some scotch tape in a junk drawer so I ended up not having too. It seemed like a good idea cus you can just write too/from on the tape yourself

Your brain climbs very well...just your brain...
