Riddle me this, chief: This "child-of-hamas" (I didn't name the file, btw) seems to be posing with a US manufactured M-16, and wearing clothes with english language writing. Exactly where is this "child-of-hamas" living, Idaho? Because the US would never, ever sell arms to or negotiate with terrorist and rogue outfits. Cough IRANCONTRA Cough cough. Please enlighten me o Jay, oracle of wingnuttitude.

Switchgrass ethanol, my bitches. Cause we're addicted to oil and Big Daddy Oilman Arbusto Bush (R-TXaco) and Dickhead Cheney (R-HAL), along with Condi "Chevron named a tanker after me" Rice gonna whup us into shape wid some switchgrass ethanol. And woodchips. Don't forget the woodchips! You forgot Poland, but not woodchips and switchgrass my bitches. Why you think he spends all that time "clearin' brush"? Woodchips, baby, woodchips. Got Levee? Let them eat cake, motherfucker.

Sack up, lightweight. I'll see your -41 and raise you -51. Last 10 days observed in Fairbanks (all temps in deg F): Date High Low 20 -27 -42 21 M M 22 -13 -32 23 -27 -36 24 -26 -33 25 -34 -40 26 M M 27 -40 -51 28 -35 -44 29 -30 -51

wha?

That's no record. That's just a collosal fuck-up.

It was -49F at my place this morning, warming up a bit from the -51 yesterday. Spring you say?

I had a similar set-up when I lived in the south, 8wx12h adjustable from 10deg overhanging to 45. Finally gave up on making it fun/interesting, and just treated it like a common boring weights exercise. I set mine around 30-45 deg overhung, and did a workout similar to the "HIT-strips" thing. Just cranking laps with a specific grip say half crimps, then working another like pinches. I ended up taking the "real" plastic holds off, except for some pinches, and made it symmetrical with home-made wooden holds. A little similar to a campus rungs set up, but with alternating rows of edges, pockets, pinches, etc. The idea was that they would be spaced so that I could do laps using only a specific hold type for all moves on that lap. Add a weight belt once you need it. With a limited amount of holds (70 sounds like alot, until you start setting problems), you'll quickly tire of rearranging holds all the time. Most people will favor their strengths when setting problems, which makes your training much less than optimal, IMO. You can get wicked strong on a small board like that, but you can also get wicked overuse symptoms, especially if you don't work opposing mucles groups....forearm extensors, pecs, anterior delts, tris, abs. Another approach is to just start slapping holds up, and when they are all or mostly all on the board, then start making problems with what's there. This is how I set most problems in the gym these days. I may end up adding a hold or two to link a section. Much faster than doing move by move "blank slate" style setting where you end up putting 80% of the holds on and using 20% already in place. Make a scaled down crack machine, do pull ups on jams. Couple of short scraps of 2x8 (or even better 2x10 or2x12) and a few washers/wingnuts/bolts is all you need. Personally, I've found that kind of power is something I can re-develop reasonably quickly, within a few months, as it's my natural strength. Power endurance, and pitch length endurance has always been my weakness, but I hate to train it (and will likley continue to stagnate until I get my head right and train my weakness). Don't underestimate the usefulness of yoga and core strength exercises, as well as periodization.

Only been a day so far. Give it a little time. Success rate for moving merch in here is pretty good.

Hows about music instead. Curtis Mayfield - Curtis Live Cut in 1971, this is one of finest live R&B albums ever recorded IMO. Organically funky, gritty, smug. With a Motown legend - the former head of the Impresssions and innovative guitarist Curtis Mayfield, leading the crew. No version of Pusherman on this one, but killer rendetions of Mighty Mighty Spade and Whitey, Stone Junkie, Superfly, Check Out Your Mind, Gypsy Woman, We the People who are Darker than Blue, People Get Ready, If there's a Hell Below We all gonna Go. This is a must in any serious music collection. Get some Curtis into your life baby, you won't regret it.

Is you crazy? We have a big ass pipeline full of oil (BAPFOO) running through town, and a refinery 9 miles down the road (R9MDTR). BAP! Foo, cheap diesel. Nah, Diesel is running about $2.45 now. We're getting screwed. That pic is from Jan '04, when I had no back window in my car and enjoyed my commute with the windows down so the car didn't fill with exhaust. Invigorating. I have a shot of the same sign in June 04 showing temps at 95 or 96.

Wha?

Horsehit, son. You might wanna check that again. Scroll down to Fri, Jan 20: http://www.weather.com/weather/monthly/99701?from=tenDay_topnav_undeclared In fact, it was -42F. The HIGH on Fri was only -30F.

Ever changed a flat in those temps? I did. Yesterday. At -40C/-40F. Nice way to start your weekend on a Friday after work.

Campmor had some Nikes on blowout for a long time. About a hundred bucks if they still have em. They work pretty well.

You'll run whatever your Microsuck overlords say you'll run, and you'll learn to like it. Beyotch.
