    << <i>Anybody seen Chuck? >>



    Yes I have but it would not be appropriate to say anything because of.. well.. you know...

    And that's all I've got to say about that.

    If Chuck ever feels the need to come back to Minneapolis, he is more than welcome to stop by.

    I would say add me to the list again, but the world is going to end in 2012 so I doubt he will make more than 2 or 3 more trips before then.

    Chuck and I just returned from South America yesterday. He accompanied me on a mountaineering expedition to climb Aconcagua. in Argentina. At 22,841 ft, it is the highest peak in South America, so Chuck had ample opportunity to clear his head and think about his past. (i.e. hitting Olbermann's mother in the face with an errant throw to first base, HGH, domestic violence, etc, etc).

    The only Knoblauch jock sniffers during the trip happened to be pack mules. The few people I met on the summit were mildly amused that I was snapping pics of some baseball card hero while trying to catch my breath. A few notes of interest. First, Chuck has vertigo. Doesn't do well with heights. Soiled himself a few times in fact. Second, Chuck's Spanish is sadly lacking. The ladies were not impressed, and I ended up eating Baby Goat instead of rib eye steak on account of his lackluster language skills. Third, Chuck gets very lonely away from civilization. While we mountaineers use body heat to stay alive while sleeping at high altitude, Chuck decided to sleep in the buff. Let's just say he's half the man he used to be.

    As for the rest, here are the highlights of our adventure...

    East Face if Aconcagua. Our approach was up the North Ridge.

    image

    Another beautiful shot of Aconcagua...

    image

    Chuck was continually enamored by our pack mules. I don't think anyone has ever paid them this much attention...

    image

    This mule was particularly found of Chuck and got a little closer for an extra sniff...

    image

    For some reason, Chuck thought we were going on a ski vacation. Too bad it's summer in Argentina and the ski resorts are closed. Being from Texas, he assured me he had grown up skiing...

    image

    Chuck got a time out in the rim of our Land Rover until he could get ready for the climb and stop the b#tching and moaning...

    image

    Finally, we were off for our adventure (Also, Chuck soils himself for the first time)...

    image

    Chuck was about as handy with an ice axe as he was with the baseball. No way in hell was I going to rope up to him.

    image

    The summit was beautiful, but very high and VERY windy and cold. Just behind me is 9K of pure air. (Chuck soiling episode #2)

    image

    Once we pulled Chuck together and got him off the mountain, he was ready to go home and join his CU brethren. (He may have contracted Giardia on the way off the peak just FYI for the next lucky sole who shows him around). Chuck was a blubbering mess in the Santiago, Chile airport as we bid the mountains and mules a found farewell.

    image

    Goodbye, Chuck, from Argentina. We'll miss you bunches and bunches.

    Somebody needs to take him to a penitentiary now that he has an assault conviction under his belt.

    Uh, this is how rumors get started...

    1) Chuck is not going to jail, unless he does something REALLY stupid during probation
    2) His record will be wiped clean, again assuming he stays out of trouble
    3) While I cannot comment on what really happened, it got blown out of proportion due to his "celeb" status

    And that's all I have to say about that.

    Speaking of Chuck, I saw him the other week. He's still doing well, all things considered.

  • Hey..................where is Chuck????????
  • Matt took Chuck back. Understandable. In 2 or 3 thousand years, the card will be worth $2-3. (Of course, a pop or candy bar will cost $89 then.)

    If I remember correctly the purpose was to show what happens to a card mailed in a PWE. As much as it changed hands I think it held up pretty well.
