New audio update from TA on Everest.

This is the text of TA’s audio message:

Hi this is TA calling in from Everest base camp, it’s been a funny weather day with some snow, and some sun, and some snow, and some sun.  The people up high are still waiting for the snow to consolidate on the Lhotse face before action happens between camps 2 and 4.  I’ve spent the day packing once again; my forth time, so game four is tomorrow.  Special thanks to my buddy Karen for looking up all the professional sports teams that have come back for 3 – 0 deficits, so I will be thinking about some of those teams as I set out to achieve my goal of making it to camp 1 tomorrow.  I will be climbing with a Sherpa and maybe Mango if he gets back up here from his trip down valley.  I’m hoping that the quads have some strength and that I have the mental will to get there tomorrow.  I’m facing elimination, or at least that’s how it feels in my mind, so I’m looking forward to taking that on tomorrow.  I’m well rested, I’ve been trying to drink and eat a bunch today to make sure I’m well fueled for the big challenge tomorrow.  Hope you are having a great Monday, thanks to the folks at Applecore Interactive for their sponsorship and help with my website, and for making it possible for all of you to follow along.  I hope you all are getting out there and getting active, stepping up to the summit challenge.  Thanks and take care.
