Bronco

Mr. Backcountry: Thank you for your nice comments about my engine of choice. Please contact a mechanic yourself, I think you may have a screw loose. I feel sorry for you and all of your dodge driving brothers for not knowing what it is like to sit behind the wheel of a real truck (ie FORD) looking at us from behind is not the same thing. Please keep that in mind the next time I pass you up.

glow plugs are used to pre heat the combustion chambers of Desiel engines so the fuel will ignite after it is injected durring a "cold start"

Hairball: The ABC Blast harness is almost identical to the one I am replacing with the Petzl Calidris (which is what I ended up buying from Karstsports.com for $82.00) The Blast has almost NONE of the features of the Petzl Calidris. On the other hand I agree with you about the $$$ issue and the rear belay point. This is the most comfy harness I have ever worn. And I wore everthing I could lay my hands on prior to making a purchase. I just hope it holds up well.

I read the entire Muir on Saturday thread in 4 hours 24 minutes.

I'm in, innocent bystanders are worth 3 points each, 5 if they are connected to a snowboard.

I just re read the inital post and I think it is hilarious that out of the thousands of people it could have been, it was one of our own who was the pothead. BTW scot'teryx, I met Alpine K once and he seemed to be a nice guy. He might have taken it outside if you'd asked. Although, he didn't seem to believe me when I was introduced as that guy Bronco from CC.com. Like he was 'spectin' someone who looked like Mr. T.

do you think there is a 13th page or is it like High Rise buildings that go from 12 to 14 cause 13 is unlucky and nobody wants to be on the 13th floor. it's friday!

That would be a damn good disguise.

You guys are WAY OUT OF CONTROL!!!

BTW: With the new petzl harnes with the drop seat, there is a good place to hang your chalk bag, on that plastic drop seat point (the part attached to the leg straps) where it attached to the waist belt, there is a little hole similar to the hole on the gear loops for attaching a biner for your ice screws. drop in a biner, hang your chalk bag and wal-ah! this harnes is cushy!

Zenolith: How is a suicidal attack on 5,000 - 6,000 civilians sitting at thier desks drinking coffee supposed to be construed as the terrorists just protecting themselves. Osama Bin Hiding says for all Muslims to kill Americans wherever they are, in uniform or civilian. The terrorists brought this on and I believe we will end it. Unless you have totally lost your mind, (and lots of folks seem to around here), nobody can justify the attack on the WTC and Pentagon. I keep hearing "we need to understand why these poor people feel so angry at us" BS. Look at how the Taliban treat thier "own" people and it's easy to see these guys are just bloodthirsty murderers bent on destruction.

That kid crying at exit 38 was me Sucka! just kiddin' but I did hike up that route this summer.

Anyone have an opinion on how this war would play out if Gore/Liberman were in office?

I thought you said POOP is sexual chocolate......gross

and hairballs I'm pretty sure Mr. Mandela is still kickin'.

Check out Costco's gloves next time you are in there. $30 for goretex gloves with the extra long sleeve and drawstring closure. I don't think the liners are removable but, they seemed pretty nice. I plan to pick some up. They are even equipped with some special "snot patch" on the back of the thumb for wiping your nose. I hadn't seen that feature before.

I heard an interesting thought on the Paul Harvey News & Comment this morning: Drop pieces of the WTC wreckage from cargo planes all over the Taliban troops. Probably not very effective, but it would send a message. Would any of you peace lovin hippies feel different if one of your family members died in the attack? I think you would. Yes, you would.

scotteryx?: I recently skied on some 160's in my leather climbing boots and a 55lb pack. You should have no problem as I probably am a worse skier than even you.

Sure Jon - get your licks in and THEN move it to spray. Is that a picture of Caveman? He looks familiar

You have a lot of posts cavedude! I'm not sure why I feel so compelled to defend the (for once) aggressive action of our govt from these fruit cake peacenik commie crapheads, but I think I'm done using my energy for not. BOMB THE TALITUBBYBAN!!!!! and hit Sadam while you're all the way overthere.

Intelligence-gathering and international pressure, I believe, can bring this about. I volunteer you to go hold hands with the Taliban and sing "Michael Row Your Boat Ashore." and don't forget to teach them the group hug. How many more jetliners would we let crash into buildings while we wait for "Legal" means to bring in Bin Laden? Whose legal system are we talking about? The ruling party in Afganistan sure arent goin to let Bin Ladin be brought in. International pressure? Like with Sadam, Castro etc. oh wait those guys are still in power.

We oughta' lock ALL you foo's in the Muir shack with a pound of buds buring on a coleman stove and let you go at it - BATTLE CAGE ROYALE!! It's really funny guys are taking this subject so seriously, I read the original post lastnight and thought nothing of it and SHAZAM look what we have here this morning! What a joke! What if you went up to the muir shack and found one of them nude hikers in there?

quote: Originally posted by sexual chocolate: I think the quicker we can rectify these injustices, the quicker we will approach a world that will be safer for us AND our children. Are you running for office or sumthin? The communist party hasen't done well in these parts near as I can tell. I can just picture George W running up to Osama Bin terorizin' for a post therapy hug and the Taliban all dies laughin their asses off. I guess that would accomplish the goal.

You boys were up late last night! What a hilarious thread!!!
