Bronco

How long are the route's there?? I remember hiking up there as a kid and thinking it would be cool to just fly down like a birdy.

If I don't work out first thing in the morning, I am usually too busy to do it in the evening. I usually get up around 5:15 and hit the workout.

Too many Matts(adapted from Too Many Daves by Dr. Seuss) Did I ever tell you that CC.comHad twenty-three chaps and they all were named Matt?Well, we did. And that wasn’t a smart thing too do.You see, when we want one and call out, “Yoo-Hoo!Log on the site, Matt!” we don’t get one.All twenty three Matts of ours come on the run!This makes things quite difficult at the websiteAs you can imagine, with so many MattsOften we wish that, when they logged on,We had named them Bodkin Van HornAnd one of them Hoos-Foos. And one of them Snimm.And one of them Hot-Shot. And one Sunny JimAnd one of them Shadrack. And one of them Blinky.And one of them Stuffy. And one of them Stinkey.Another one Putt Putt. Another one Moon Face.Another one Marvin O’Gravel Balloon Face.And one of them Ziggy. And one of them Soggy Muff.One Buffalo Bill. And one Biffalo Buff.And one of them Sneepy. And one Weepy Weed.And one of them Paris Garters. And one Harris Tweed.And one of them Sir Michael Carmichael Butt.And one of them Zanzibar Buck Buck McFate….But we didn’t do it, and now it’s too late.

sounds like fun erik, glad yer shoulder is gettin better. ************************************************ anybody else climb anything? Who climbed what? What climbed who? (the snow is starting to stick in Everett this morning) [ 03-18-2002: Message edited by: Bronco ]

Keep in mind that that was no tax rebate; instead, that was an advanced payment of anticipated refunds. You may subtract $600 from the rebate you would have received this year. Yeah, I'm always excited about getting a tax return until I remember it was my money in the first place.

If you must follow simutaneously, be the faster of the pair so you aren't the one eating the dinner plates. I just read about a guy who had an arm severed by a falling Ice chunk on Mt. Rainier. Sounds like something out of a movie.

I am as hypocritical as anyone I know and never contradict myself. I followed a kid home yesterday to talk to him about the head on collision he almost caused while passing me in a no-passing zone. Aparantly he didn't want to talk to me but, his dad was interested after I knocked on his door and let him know what was up with his kids driving behavior. I may have crossed the line when I embelished a little and suggested his son was seen blazing a doob as he passed me. It just sounded better and was much more satisfying as well.

Just a little feedback, I started warming up my hams and gluts by running backwards just a little (thanks kweb) The other change I made was not lowering the bar to the floor, only lowering it to about 10 inches off the deck. I havent been sore since I made the change, thanks Courtenay and everybody else.

I have had one for several years and can tell you the pro's and con's pro's great for developing focus and concentrationthe resistance excercise is better than nothing, when hunting season comes around you are dialed in con's it only works one arm and your upper backyou have to buy new arrows once in a whileit can freak out your neigbors if you use their garage as a backstop. I am not really sure what W's post is referring to, but you should only oil up if you are by yourself.

You self righteous guys must have a hard time being such perfect drivers. What's it like never having made a mistake in your life?

Thanks Jon, now I can go confirm my manliness

What is a "lockoff"?

here is an interesting website showing the flightpath of all 4 hijacked planes on 9-11 http://www.usatoday.com/graphics/news/gra/gflightpath2/flash.htm

tru dat! or drinking beer to medicate injurious bodily parts

Don't make the mistake of throwing all us married guys into the "regret our order" category cause I know more than one guy who has been with his woman a very long time and feels forturnate she will allow him under the same roof... crap I just noticed you said "ALMOST always" oh well you can almost always tell the guys from tacoma, they are the ones who are in the Index parking lot trying to play with a soggy hacky sac when they could be climbing another route

I am still trying to unsucsesfully trick my mother in law out of her old set of lawn darts. She can hold her dang liquer. Jman, that sounds like the classic lawsuit where the other guy wins $500 for hurting his hand defending himself from your wife and you each have to pay your attourneys their $5,000 fee.

So there's this open lane right in front of me at the stop light (I love that ) but this Mr. Hurry cuts over quick and darts in front of me. I think, "no problem, these hurried guys always take off like a shot at the light. It's not like I'll be waiting long." Then, whaddaya know, when the light turns green, Mr. Hurry is now working on something else and TOTALLY blow the start! I guess this guy is one of those people who always need to be doing like at least two things at once as it's not good enough to just concentrate on the job at hand. Sorta like my 4 year old son. Whadda you think of that!? sorry chucK, I got a phone call and lost concentration, then I saw trask waving his can of beer (colt 45) around and forgot where I was. But I was in front of you!!

He complained that the frameless Chaos was constricting his diaphram on the overhanging rock bands, my McHale was hardly noticeable despite 6 days worth of food and fuel on board. So much for frameless packs climbing better... [thread creep] That sounds just plain burly, wearing a 6 day pack to climb overhanging rock bands. Being a newbie, I must ask why on God's green earth would you not haul your pack through overhanging terrain? with 6 days of food and fuel on Mt. Hunter. [thread creep]

I haven't found anything that carries as well as my Lowe Alpine HUGE ASS pack. They are hard to beat the price too. Not as lightweight as some but, I think if you are carrying 5 days worth of crap, a little heavier pack might be worth the extra support.

a partner of mine had that one and the head band broke the 3rd time he wore it and fell down a small cliff into the outlet of lake serene and was probably washed over the falls. (poor headlamp) Made for a "interesting" bushwack in the dark sharing my headlamp,

Andy Rooney On Prisons: Did you know that it costs forty-thousand dollars a year to house each prisoner? Jeez, for forty-thousand bucks a piece I'll take a few prisonersinto my house. I live in Los Angeles. I already have bars on the windows. I don't think we should give free room and board to criminals. I think they should have to run twelve hours a day on a treadmill and generate electricity. And ifthey don't want to run, they can rest in the chair that's hooked up to the generator. Andy Rooney On Ads In Bills: Have you ever noticed that they put advertisements in with your bills now?Like bills aren't distasteful enough, they have to stuff junk mail in there with them. I get back at them. I put garbage in with my check when I mail it in. Coffee grinds, banana peels.... I write, "Could you throw this awayfor me? Thank You." Andy Rooney On Fabric Softener: My wife uses fabric softener. I never knew what that stuff was for. Then I noticed women coming up to me (sniff), 'Married' (walk off). That's how they mark their territory. You can take off the ring, but it's hard to get that April fresh scent out of your clothes. Andy Rooney On Morning Differences: Men and women are different in the morning. The men wake up aroused in the morning. We can't help it. We just wake up and we want you. And the women are thinking, 'How can he want me the way I look in the morning?' It's because we can't see you. We have no blood anywhere near our optic nerve. Andy Rooney On Phone-In-Polls: You know those shows where people call in and vote on different issues? Did you ever notice there's always like 18% that say "I don't know." It costs 90 cents to call up and vote and they're voting "I don't know." "Honey, I feel very strongly about this. Give me the phone." (Says into the phone) "I DON'T KNOW!" (Hangs up looking proud.) "Sometimes you have to stand up forwhat you believe you're not sure about." This guy probably calls up phone sex girls for $2.95 per minute to say "I'm not in the mood". Andy Rooney On Cripes: My wife's from the Midwest. Very nice people there. Very wholesome. They use words like 'Cripes'. 'For Cripe's sake.' Who would that be, Jesus Cripe's? The son of 'Gosh' of the church of 'Holy Moly'? I'm not making fun of it. You think I wanna burn in 'Heck'? Andy Rooney On Grandma: My grandmother has a bumper sticker on her car that says, 'Sexy Senior Citizen.' You don't want to think of your grandmother that way, do you? Outentering wet shawl contests. Makes you wonder where she got that dollar she gave you for your birthday.

quote: Originally posted by Matt Anderson: So, I haven't been reading this thread and won't, but I did pull it up, and I saw the preceeding picture. I just gotta say - that's pretty freakin' lame - Grow up. If you're gonna throw a picture of a person on the web and insult the person to the public, pick a picture that was submitted by the person, or at least where the person was making fun of himself. I doubt this guy took a normal picture of himself, (like this appears to be) and then submitted it to "uglypeople.com." That, or just go to some sight devoted to fucking with some guy over something he has no control over. I like spray, but that is jst pure negativity. Keeping some 29 page thread going is a pathetic reason to do that. Matt That appears to be one of AL Gore's better pictures man, what are you getting all upset about? I know, I know; it's shocking, but, that's the way most Democrats look.

beefcider: I went on the RMI standard 3 day sumit climb about 2 years ago and leaned how to self arrest from 4 different positions, rest step, rope work, pressure breathing, how to put on and walk around with crampons, roped glacier travel, and that I don't like climbing with a bunch of whiners I don't know. I have no idea what else they are offering in the 6 day class but, you will probably learn alot more than I did and have a great time as well. All of the guides on my climb were awesome and very cool. It was a very positive experience all around and really encouraged me to pursue the sport.

I've been using my vinyl love gloves for working outside this winter and they are actually pretty durable and more betta' dexterity than the drytool gloves and probably warmer also. but, they are hard to dry as others have pointed out.
