The stair climb attempt has been pushed back to October 5th/6th. Location has changed to the Pike Township Fire Departments’ Safety Fair.

The politicos decided (11th hour!) that after a month of discussion, I would not be allowed to raise funds for the charities at their booth on August 9th as originally planned and posted. Without the ability to raise funds, there was no point in me doing it at the State Fair. It truly feels like a much better ‘fit’ doing it at the FD’s event. They are behind it 100% and it allows a bit more training time

Had a *blast* in Vancouver at Nautilus. Those folks are among the most generous I’ve ever met & would even compare well with the chileheads! They are sending me *pallet loads* of stuff to auction off for the charities!! Got to hang (quite a bit) with the Globetrotters (autographed stuff to appear shortly on eBay) as well as Dick Butkis, and other celebs Turns out the CEO of Nautilus is a major fan of my Fiery Hot Habanero (good taste, eh Huv?) & so I’m sending a bunch of it out for them.

Back home & trying to get caught up on all the postings.
