I'm catching the M's game. I may just need that drink afterwards.

I dunno how you scored a hottie like that, Perkins, but congratulations!

If there are eight or more in your party, a 20% "Larry the Tool" gratuity will be automatically be added to your bill. Thanks and have a nice day.

They're useful for slogging big packs up big mountains, especially over uneven terrain and scree/boulder fields. I read an article that said they take as much as 20% of the load off your legs. I like the collapsible ones so they get out of your way if you have to bushwack.

Yeah...I've worn it ice climbing too, but it packs so friggin big and is heavy. I still prefer a Driclime jacket and shell. Whatever, though - it's still good stuff.

Arcteryx Gamma SV jackets are great for skiing at resorts. That's about it. It might have more applications in the Rockies or Sierras, but I wouldn't recommend it for the PNW.

I was wondering how that trip went.

I've been in situations where I was glad I had it as well. Phones are just tools that aren't inherently bad. It 's the user that makes them what they are. There is a big difference between carrying one to make the "Guess where I am call" and having one to help initiate an evacuation.

After a heroic winter ascent of the Haystack, I was spent. My partners had turned back early, near the interpretive site, after narrowly escaping the Cougar. I was now alone, and after the superhuman effort on the exposed buttress, I was near death. The only thing I had to keep me alive was the sealed package of Horsecock in my chest pocket. With feeble fingers I tried in vain to open that tube of life, but the lights were going dim. Suddenly the horsecock was grabbed out of my hands. With the strength of five men, Wilber tore open the package, chewed it for me, and fed me mouthful by mouthful. I owe the man my life. You owe him your respect.

Happy B-Day Allison!

I thought he was resting his head ON the joint he just smoked. Hmmm...

See...climbing chicks have bad attitudes and get defensive.

What do you call a broken boomerang? A stick.

If you're down near Tacoma, Pacific Auto Imports on Pacific Avenue is great. In Seattle I used to take it to Pacific Rim Auto on Stone Way near Fremont and was pretty happy.

Good for her!

You're right...it lasted about a week. I made some jokes, but I wasn't an asshole. Everyone knows who I am. Do you expect anyone to take you seriously, you tool?

I gotta admit I'm from Puyallup...and I am FAR from exotic Hey Trask, I just noticed your new classification.

Feck, you're a friggin loser. Make up a dumb name for yourself, go online and start talking smack about people before you even get to ten posts. If this is your first go at this board, you're pretty lame. If you're an avatar created to hide your identity, you are both lame AND a coward. That's all I'm gonna say.

I've gotten the sleepies so bad before I've fallen asleep while walking. If I could make a suggestion to beginners doing the DC route: please take a break at Ingraham Flats, whether you think you need one or not, chow down a power bar and guzzle some Gatorade. Otherwise you'll hit a wall in the middle of the Cleaver and cause the infamous backup in the middle. Thank you - drive through.

My favorite UW rock problem is trying to ignore Coach as he's working his "magic" on all the sporty little girlie climbers there.

I'm in.
