| Al and Kirk get drunk again... |
|
A development that shocked no one, Kirk and Al got
wasted at Delaney's on Saturday night. This time joined by Adam and Salemi they argued baseball,
toasted to James Bond with some English lasses, tried to bribe convenience store owners for after
hours beer and stole a flag from the Shell gas station. Good Times!

| The Magnificent Seven |
July 24, 2004 - Despite the excitement of two
new hikers, Adam Bokon and John Meissner, all the signs pointed towards a disaster
in the making. It started with

real estate issues and a freak injury to Bokon. Moving violations and forecasts of rain further dampened everyone's spirts.
When the morning dawned with blue skies hopes rose and the 2004 adventure began. The crew demolished
the old climb record by making it to the top in three hours and four minutes! After passing thru a layer
of low-laying clouds the summit was a balmy 52 degrees with a slight 15 mph breeze. Once again everyone
went out to Delaney's where the beers flowed freely and the stories grew.

are rarely a good combination it looked like the climb was over for Adam Bokon before it began.
Spending two weeks healing it was still a game time decision to climb or not.
Grimacing with pain he choose to attempt the climb. Stunning everyone, he put on a last
minute push and was one of the first to the top.

| Craig is all grins |
Craig Waterhouse reclaimed the title of fastest up Mt. Washington
to bring his grand total up to three. Spending the last year stewing over
the upset victory of Kevin Ruel, he was in good spirts once he got to the top and waited for everyone
else to join him. However, some that felt it was a BCS-like victory since the defending champ wasn't
present to defend his crown. Will Craig go head to head vs. Kevin on '05 to decide it on the field? Craig was unavailable for
comment.
