Pawtuckaway bouldering and babysitting

We've been bouldering for the last few days at Pawtuckaway near Manchester, NH. Granite bouldering in a deep, dark forest with eerie swamps all over the place. The frogs make some funny noises at night. We've liked it so much that we're spending a couple extra days around here. Made some knew friends up at Shagg (Anna and Jeremy) and they joined us down here and brought their slobber-machine dog, Bert. Winnie and Tigger love tag-team wrestling with him.

Marc and Rachel (and their new baby, Hanna) live right around the corner and we're babysitting for a few hours while the new parents get some sleep. We don't really know what we're doing. Hanna was quiet for an hour but now has started pooping every 5 minutes. We have dubbed her the "Poop Machine". Hanna is super cute.

We should be wrapping up here soon and should be at the Gunks (New Paltz, NY) by midweek.

Grandma P wanted me to post this for her:

Drew - I was just checking Adam and Melissa's web page and tried to send a
"comment" and it said "This page is unavailable" so couldn't do it. So it
you send a comment to him tell him for me that I am checking on him
frequently and really enjoying his pictures and his acquired New England
accent. :-) Grandma P,

Well, I see that Drew sent my message. Don't know why it was "unavailable" before. Anyway, I am keeping close tabs on you and enjoying your pics, etc. Love, Grandma P.

Adam and Melissa, I'm very happy you are having a good time camping outside...I've been doing that too, but we call it WAR!!!!!! Camping must be more fun when shit isn't blowing up around you. So enjoy your time and I will hopefully be back at Ft. Bragg around the first week in November. See ya, Scotty from Afghanistan

I heard from Mel that Scott wanted to camp for a few weeks when he gets back from the Middle East....I think he has shell shock. What he needs to do is start running and shed a few of those MRE pounds. When you see him Adam try and pick him up.....holy &^%%$#&*.

See you soon Scotty Potty :)

Andy, AKA "Drew" or "Dumbass",

I've been getting paid to kill people, so it is not a good idea to piss me off. There will be a new statue at Boys Town, "He ain't heavy, he's my dead brother." Kinda like it's not wise to upset a Wookie. Yes, I blame the MRE's as well as the 10lbs of chocolate that comes in a week for me. Andy, what'd you do with box??? Hubba-Bubba!!!!

SSG Scotty from hell
