IGX

I've been invited on another winter trip on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.

Five days to make up my mind.

No problem with fear, but it's three weeks of wet camping in the Arizona winter. I'd love to get back on the horse, but I'm dreading the nights.

What say you?

Go. You only live twice

Bite the bullet and do it.

Maybe it will cause you to finally produce something good to read.

I wouldn't expect horses to be much help on the Colorado River.

What is the worst that could happen? Go ahead and bite off more than you can chew and chew it.

That sounds like a miserable vacation.

I'm disappointed, I thought you were getting back on heroin.

Ask yourself. "What would a famous author do?"

What size KB are you bringing?

Like Hemingway? C'MON MAN SOMEBODY HAD TO SAY IT!! IT'S IGX TIME!!!

Good luck...Hopefully Death will get the job done this time around.

i thought you were, like, back in the saddle. you know, getting it wet. . . but not by bobbing in a raft.

I'm going.

Did a bunch of rowing this summer on a lost easier water. This is a 3 week trip and I have 30 days to prepare. I want to get into some kind of rowing shape. I'll use KBs. Bent over rows, upright rows, and good mornings would seem to be it. (I don't have a barbell for the good mornings but I figure I could do them with the KBs on my shoulders). Any other ideas, pls.

Go. Bring a hefty woman to keep between you and the cold ground.

Take Andy with you and when Death comes to claim the prize he so nearly had before, leave Andy behind and run like hell.

So speaking of horses, say you had an Uncle Jack. If he was stuck up on the horse, would you help your Uncle Jack off?

Go, then write book about horses.

Consider the risks and rewards. Make up your own mind.

Maybe have a buddy do CPR on you a couple times a day?

Wear a drysuit this time?

stick your head in a bucket of ice water several times a day.

squat down and drop your scrotum in the ice water, too, to prepare yourself for the fun ahead

Tim is so old that he can just stand over the bucket & drop his balls into the water.

Horse is heroin. I knew something was wrong with you. You are fighting ideations of suicide over the election. Therefore, the decision to go endanger your life on the Grand Canyon death-wish trip. You are so transparent, it's pathetic.
