Toost, you are a genius! I see cheap hubs at pczone.com, but the long cable idea is delicious. And BTW, DFA, I'm not lazy, I have been on #@%%&!!! Vicodin on and off for a week now for a %$^&!!!! back injury, haven't been able to work (OR SKI), and have no energy. If I am lazy, blame the narcotics. It was nice to be on the stuff for about 2 hours on the first day, and now it's poky scrambled eggs brain. I especially don't like crawling under my desk with this back thing!

Just back from Office Despot....looked at USB hubs...for 40 clams, I'll keep crawling under my desk to change the cords out!

No, that's Rodeo. My BF was there briefly, I doubt matt would have snapped one of him as he is smart enough not to post or lurk here. But, hey, don't laugh, Rodeo's a swell guy, worthy of some lucky lady's affections!

Well at least I'm properly saluting you!

Matt, you are one cruel guy....gawd I hope you didn't take any of me......and chucK alaways looks Satanic...Tread Tramp on the other hand... ...and all I can say is that it looks like all of these pix were taken after one of the legendary PC safety meetings.

That's Von Spanker with the famous old guy.

Yah, OK USB, got that part..now can you run more than one device at a time out of it or is that bad? Forgive me for the dumb questions, computers are a great mystery to me.

Got a ? for you....is it possible/kosher to put a splitter on the computer output that my digicam cable/scanner/wireless mouse and keyboard go out of? I have two outputs on the back of my computer, but own three devices that need to get in there. I don't know what kind of port that is, it's got a wee small connector. If it matters, I'm on a fairly new PC, running XP. If this is possible and won't cause me problems, promise not to run the scanner and the camera at the same time, those are the ones that would share the splitter. Thx.

The old guy in the red? With all of the slides? I think he did some climbing book or something. There were so many people and a lot of them were new faces, I wonder if we could put together a list of who was there. Didnd't get a chance to meet everyone...but off the top of my nog, here's what I know: Sayjay, Klenke, Dave Schuldt, Von Spanker, myself, chucK, Rodeo, Fred Beckey, Cap'n Caveman, mattp, toast, Charlie, Wayne1112, ehmmic, Icegurl, Alpine K, Jeff Hansel, Reese, TTT, fleblebleb, Tread Tramp I know I'm forgetting some, and there are some I don't know! Help me out here! One mo' thing: I'm a little more amenable to having PC at a non-smoking place from time to time now that I am in that club....just PLEEZE let's find a place that is not a stupid fern bar. It was a fun time last night but when the Caveman and his friends lit up right across the table from me, Rodeo had to give me his cell phone to chew on. It was the closest I've been to actual cigarette smoke in a while now.

Yep, and Bill has exactly described the MEC Helios here. I actually got the Cabrio, a little bit heavier, right at one pound with hood, despite being a lightweight freak, because I am one of those people who, er, enjoys, um, bushwhacking. My stuff sees abrasion abuse. Talk more about windshells that repel water a little bit. All I have in this category is going to need to be replaced this year I think.

It's hard to see what kind of a piece you are after, comparing your Goretex to a little shell thingy like that. If it's light foul-weather stuff you are after, the MEC Helios might do the trick. If it's for lighter weather, there is a lot out there that is not made by Patagucci, and will thereby be cheaper. The Marmot Precip's a nice piece, and REI's got some decent shell pieces in their line.

Jayzuz H, ChucK....glad you are okay and assume that you learned requisite lessons....I get out alone a lot in the summer, and it's situations like these that make me wonder if I've left my sanity at the door sometimes. Whew, got the hibbie jibbies just reading the report! Maybe your wife and Stef's wife could start a support group.

Poop, now that Kurt's invited himself into the battle cage, I feel the need to bow out. He and I have agreed to refrain from taking shots at one another, and if any more is said, it could get, well, not so funny. I'm sure TLG and I will go at it in a nearby forum soon. Until then, stock up on the Bud, and the lawn chairs...and of course...DON'T FORGET YOUR HELMET!

Guess who I was going to call this afternoon to personally invite to Pub Club....YAY!!! SAYJAY!!!

No, it's fine the way it is.

I think that is a spamtastic idea. As I said before, I think the bowling alley plan is a good one, but should be researched a bit before embarking. Plus I want to go to the Ballard Ale House this week. Don't ask me why, the bowling alley is a little bit closer to my house.

Naw, Fern is cool, I wouldn't fight with her, anyway she might just kick my butt...and yes I know when I tired of TLG's repetitive tired old tactics, I can hand her off the AK for a little of his special brand of punishment!

Blame TLG...I'm all peeved about something else, and would love to take it out on her!! But I think she's off at her Remedial Tort class at the community college or something.

Maturity? Here at cc.com? Who are you kidding? Now? Ever?

Hey, step over here, princess, careful not to trip over your gigantic ego on the way....I feel the need to break your kneecaps for dissing on my friend Muffy.....you might want to put your helmet on for this, as my aim is not very good....

It's okay, Shel, I'll dazzle him with my beauty, and cut him down with my WIT! Than you just tickle to your heart's content!!

Oh right, Crystal...next time I'm up there I'll be on the lookout for a chick in a helmet snowplowing down Queens...if you're there Saturday I'll try not to pass too close, or you might get scared and snowplow wight into a wittwe twee and hit your wittwle head!!

HEY! Ok Muff, he's a scrawny little fucker, I'm going to hold him down, and I want you to tickle him until he throws up, 'K?

With attitudes like this, it amazes me that FS law enforcement generally likes climbers less than other user groups.
