  1. i could probably have used one of those tools there a month or so ago - i had to buy one at tacoma screw for an ungodly sum of money. so ... YES ... rivnuts are still used. if for nothing else, four of them are used in the installation of a roof ladder on a land rover discovery.

  2. don't have a clue about nancy, but i have a pair of public enemies i mounted with tele bindings. oddly enough i rented a pair with regular downhill bindings because i love the skis and was curious if i'd prefer to have them mounted with downhill bindings (because my tele skills are a little lacking) ... but i actually didn't like them as much with downhill bindings. i don't do much in the park except skim around; they're all mountain skis for me. people hate skiing behind me when i use 'em (because they kick up so much spray) ... but maybe they just need to learn how to ski faster. ;-)

     

    i love my public enemies. i'm changing out a couple of other pairs of skis in my quiver that i'm not so happy with, but i won't change my PE's. :-)

  3. dan bowie rocks. and he is way cuter than the guy in that poster. (sorry, dude!) excellent show - much more detailed ascent story than usual ... and you can't beat that canadian wit for providing an entertaining narrative.

     

    quite a story that he made it down on his own volition when people were literally stepping over him, refusing to offer an injured fellow climber any assistance whatsoever. i wish i was that tough! flehan.gif

     

    i hope he comes back with another presentation after he climbs annapurna. icon_thumbs.gif

  4. i forgot to mention that i'm actually eating pasta right now. some kind of "chicken quesadilla" flavored deal - to which i added a bunch of corn and tapatio. if only i had ground beef in the house! (this is a new flavor i decided to try since it was on sale and i was feeling lazy - i actually put it back twice before finally deciding to get it, though.)

  5. my favorite dry is from pappardelles pasta (pike place market); my favorite wet is from pasta & co. (university village). but i like all kinds of pasta ... including gnocchi and stuffed pastas. what i put on it usually depends on the type of pasta and what i've got in the house - i love sauces, but i'll eat it plain if i have to! sorry; not very specific ... but i have rather eclectic taste in pasta.
