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.

IM, I tried it once last year, was a total 'tard, and have resigned myself to 'tardiness on Rando for a while....we'll see in a couple of months after I have a full season of being back on regular skis if I can do any better. Plus I am a liability in the BC until I get some semblance of avy skillz, but I am working on that too.

Both of the bowling alleyz in Ballard have a full bar, and I dunno if either has anything good beerwise. They may or may not be open late enuf, and they may or may not have league....I think it's a great idea, but we must research and in my experience it really helps to reserve in advance..I know it sounds like a pain but the guys I work with do a big group of people bowling 1x/yr, and it takes a tiny bit of planning, or you won't end up bowling...and who wants to get stuck in the bar listening to Dwayner do 'I will Survive' on the karaoke....again?

Yah, I tend to skip the green runs altogether. Hey, anyone besides the lawgoddess want to go thrash around on the ice with me on Wednesday? Anywhere at Snoqrummy is fine, I have a pass thing for there. I ski regular alpine gear but do not begrudge AT or pinheads!

Lordy, Pub Club Bowling sounds like a great ideer....let's do a little planning on that and find a place that doesn't have League or anything, make sure they are not too busy...sounds like a HOOT! Yes I think we should go to Ballard Alehouse, and I haven't picked where we go in, like, forever!

Congratulations, people, you have just come full circle to my fab-o idea of Ballard Alehouse.

I so enjoy lobbing a grenade and then hiding under my bed.

I like that place, and could even do the drive tomorrow....but there's no more FRESHEIZZ at Mount Flatchelor than in our own neck of the Cascades....so ferget it! 'Course Dave is trolling, so let's keep it real, folks, and go to that loveable blue collar dive, the Ballard Alehouse, on Leary. I think I might even show up if they don't make me go back to work.

Ummm, I think fredrogers said in original post that access of TH by foot would probably be closed too. That's why I ask.

N x NW: Whaddaya mean we don't get much for our money? Trail Maintenance is extremely expensive! Plus if you get out with any regularity, the per-use fee on a NW Forest Pass is pennies per day. Having said that, I hate the parking pass, especially when I am somewhere that the FS is not spending any $ to care for.

If it's anything like last year, they won't even issue permits for Stuart and Colchuck. N x NW, how were you planning on getting in there?

I'm with the guys here. It's not a health or fitness issue, it's an aesthetic one. Rather than get a big butt like most of the chicas, I gain it around the middle too. Spending more time pulling down the plastic seems to help a bit, but I'd like something sure-fire to get rid of it!

Wow, what an opportunity. You might think of going to Leavenworth and getting a permit to go into the Enchantments while you are there....though they are hard to come by. I think you need to apply around the 1 of March, and if you don't get one, they lottery a few every day at the Ranger Station. It's really a remarkable place, and there is a lot of rock and plenty of peaks too. It would be climbing in a really spectacular alpine setting. Enchantments permit info

Pleeze tell us how it all works out! Sounds like everything we all want from all gear.
