where are you located?

intellicast is always wrong.

glad everyone's ok. my folks had a close call last xmas with a big fire in the house i grew up in. check your fire alarms people.

really, i didn't know satan had three scrotums. learn something new every day, eh?

also for rent at your favorite independent movie store.

Called the other day, Portland Metro will accept isobutane canisters at their dropoff station (on in N Portland, may be others). No curb pickup though (not even empties). I assume Seattle has something similar.

Will you make some good points. Yes, you need to stick around for a few years, but I guess I don't consider that too tied down. Interest is tax deductible, easily saving insurance and closing costs in not too long a period of time. You're building equity with every mortgage check you send. You don't have to go buy new furniture or do lots of work on the house or even mow the damn lawn. Yes its hard to find a bargain, especially in the last couple of years, but they are there and the rates are low. Historically housing prices rise. Sure there are other reasons not to buy like a house being a time suck (if you let it) or less sex (hmmm, I think I have more now, more options w/o roomies ). I guess my point is that I used to feel buying would make me feel tied down like I'd have to live my life out in one spot, but that's really not the case.

I used to think this, but if you've got the downpayment, there is no reason not to buy. Its not that hard to sell a house and move, you're not really commiting to anything other than massive debt.

In most of the Portland shops you can return Snow-Peak canisters, since they are a local company they'll pick up empties from the stores they deliver to.

Dude that sucks.

Anyone up for the Butte or Broughtons tonight? PM.

Skied in a whiteout. Got cold.

Gotcha.

Gee, I thought Republicans were for states rights. Huh.

dude, no one wants to see that...

Yes yes, sad day indeed. All you haters I'll remember those days touring fondly.

well actually i'm heading to the butte with a few folks, about 5:30, c'mon down.

come climb today man

Huh, didn't know Gary Payton swung that way.

Hmmm. It was a couple of years ago, not too long after turning into ClubSport. I just remember lots of awkward moves, one-move-wonder boulder problems, and inconsistant grades. Perhaps it's just that I was (is?) so suck.

Have they signed up any real route setters yet? I climbed there for a short period of time and despite being an absolutely huge gym all the routes roped and boudering stunk.

I thought that was what he meant? You should be drinking Oregon beer anyways.
