Sorry. I was trying not to lead Carl on.

As long as there are no tongues, Carl can watch.

Hey, Always glad to suck when you're around.

Minx. You're back. And you still suck. Where were you? Community service? Texass? A snowdrift?

baa

Thanks Kevino. Has anyone been up there recently?

Which douchebag are we talking about?

I deal with it by doing whatever the hell I want..if you cant then you have serioulsy fucked up and you should fix whatever is wong immediately. But dont feel bad most people fall into the same trap then try and pass it off with some stupid shit like "I made sacrifices, I got married, had kids, new job..."ya you fucked up if you cant do whatever you want simple as that. Squamish was sick ass on Tuesday and the ice has been fat all season long, so has the snowboarding, the skiing, and the young university girls have all been uber friendly and summer is just starting yee haa..enjoy your life That will work well in relationships.

That will kill this site.

I am looking for a semi-snowfree hike this weekend. I have not been up Ingalls crk before. Is the trailhead low enough to be hikable? My wife (with a new hip this winter) and I are looking for a place to hike, camp and maybe do some bouldering. If Ingalls is not a good spot right now, where else would be good over there in the land of sun? I don't want to drive all over hell and gone as I have to be back for Easter dinner at 4PM. Thanks!

I have a hole in my head. The silence is deafening.

Well done.

Nice banana!

Just kidding. Take a breath.

< crossing figures and hoping pink puts it over his head > Dude. Do we have to go over that again?

Visit Barry. Tell him Bug says "hi".

Aren't they going to need more granite for the new viaduct? Maybe we could quarry off the routes that don't get purchased by climber donations.

Is there going to be a Starbuck's?

I'm hearing a new voice now. It kepps saying, " Climb somthing you lardass!"

I have been raising kids for 13 years now. It has been worth it and yes there were some very depressing times. I get back into it slowly to avoid tendonitis. The last three years have been hell because I have a bit more time but my right knee was screwed. Either work out those tendons at home regularly or start back slowly. I also get out at least a couple times a year to do some solo aid climbing. No pins but I take a small hammer to back out well set wires. It is not that much fun when you really want to be free climbing but it keeps your gear placement skills honed pretty well. That way I can push myself on lead without getting all freaked out about my placements. I know it seems like the end of the world but according to the Mayan calendar we have a couple more years.

Another fun TR. Thanks Ivan.

Ah, what bullshit. Just take your thumb and forefinger and pull the little effin' sucker straight off! And, no, you don't need olive oil, although if your folks, Bug, had used that instead of fire, you wouldn't be talking out of your... Do we have to have this discussion every year? 2007 2008 Sure, except for the head that is usually left inside without a little cutting. That is all I was saying. Peace. And we do have multiple discussions every year that are redundant on just about everything. Matt, I'm not afraid to identify and correct misinformation, which you seem to want to perpetuate. Just a few points: 1. The head (also called the capitulum) is NOT "usually left inside." The capitulum always comes out with the body with proper removal technique. As said before, I've removed from animals and people more than a thousand ticks in my life, and I've NEVER left the head nor any other tick parts when removing them. Typically, only part of the capitulum will be under the surface of the host's skin. The mouth parts, or chelicera, act as pincers. They're very strong and will continue to grip the skin on removal, often taking a very small amount of host's skin with it. The best removal technique is to grip the tick firmly as close to the head as possible and apply slow, gentle perpendicular traction (for more details, read the previous years' discussions). 2. If one has to regularly "cut," then you're obviously doing something wrong. Best removal method BY FAR is to use thumb and forefinger. Works even better than tweezers, especially if the tick is engorged. 3. It's apparent you have limited experience and knowledge about this subject, and obvious you've not read the previous years' discussions: please read them. Ticks are indeed nasty creatures. In the U.S., they outrank even mosquitoes as a vector for human disease, many of which are very serious. It's unfortunate there's a high degree of paranoia involved with ticks, and people such as yourself are compelled to readily spread false info such as saying that oils, fire, cutting, and twisting the body out (all false) are needed to remove them. Regardless, your chances of contracting illness from a tick bite are rare, especially if it's removed quickly and correctly. Peace out. --Steve Well I had my tick head removed this morning, after 39 years of residency. All I can say is, I am really glad that thing finally shut up. Gotta go. The Vicadin is kicking in.......
