Bug

I used to get out in the mountains just to fish. I would take a plastic tarp, sleeping bag, warm coat, rubber rain coat, frying pan, coffee can, matches, large knife, fishing pole, and potatoes, salt and margerine for frying the fish. Cheap fun. But now I would do the Coos Coos recipe above and add pine nuts.

Bake three potatoes for each day. Bring salt.

Check the site for Ford Focus/Thule and send me the link. I will compare it to what I have.

Good TR! Thanks for the pics.

Includes entire rack. Mounted on a Suburban rack but has a few different adapters. I actually have two sets so you get one complete set for $50. Also have a ski rack that can be added for $15

Mine is orange hull, red jib, and white main. Otherwise, just like the ones in the pics with a few years wear and tear. The real test is to come and sail it. It is in the water at my dock near Marymoor park. NO FREELOADERS JUST LOOKING FOR A FREE SAILING TRIP!!!!!!!

The legal rights of motorists were lost in teh Reagan years during the war on drugs. Before that police needed probable cause to search a vehicle. Now we are not even pretending it is for teh war on drugs. It is, as the good sherrif pointed out, catching all kinds of criminals. All well and good until you get pulled over and they find a six week old empty beer can on teh floor of your back seat right after you stopped kissing their ass. Spiral out of control from there. Its not that I am afraid the gov is out to get me. I just don't trust every Tom Dick and Harry with a badge in Podunk nowhere to act rationally and we just gave them teh power to pull us over and hold us indefinately while they ransack our car for whatever reason they decide to write down. I'm not paranoid. I've seen people beaten by small town cops and Elko Nevada was famous amoung hitch-hikers for getting arrested for littering and doing six weeks of hard labor in teh local gravel factory. No shit. The worl ain't perfect and we are giving a lot of imperfect people too much power.

"You won't see a Border Patrol agent telling doctors or lawyers how to do their jobs," he said. Uh, Yeah. That's logical. Until we open the concentration camps. "But you will see people trying to tell us how to do our job, even though we're trained to do it." Apparently their job does not include upholding the constitution. Vee pridt ourselvs on our precision training. Vee can spot an enemy of the state und nuetralize zem from ten meters.

I disagree in part with Kennedy's tactics. I beleive we need a safety net but we also need a culture of work. To give millions of people food stamps and rent in exchange for nothing is worse than a taxpayer rip-off, it teaches their children that they do not need to work either. Kennedy is the figurehead for hard left adherance to the welfare program and will be glad to see him depart from the political scene so that PERHAPS more moderate people can lead a change in the structure of welfare and thereby set up a more trustworthy program for health care. YOU CAN'T GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. Everyone should work unless they are clearly incapacitated. There should be levels of support, both in welfare and health, depending on how much a person (adult) contributes. I'm not talking about withholding health care to emergency or traumatic needs. But there should be levels of support in terms of 1 on 1 care, number of people per room, etc. We need to reinstil a work ethic across the board. If you get assistance, you work for it. If you don't work, you barely get by and your kids can go to group kitchens to get fed. Harsh? Definately. But not as harsh imo as TEACHING generations to not work and to not have any self respect. Talk about riots. I know. The transition is the most problematic.

Sounds like what the Mexico has been doing in the Southwestern United States for years! Increasing Hispanic population, teaching Spanish in schools, and now there are more ethnic Hispanics in So Cal than non-Hispanic whites. Sounds like what republican Californians have been doing in Washington for years! Increasing republican population, teaching republican ideals in schools, and now there are more republicans in the burbs than democrats.

How did you get all those self portraits? That's just special. Nice pics! Thanks.

If you are doing the Colchuck glacier, you will probably encounter hard, low angle ice. I would take one ice ax and crampons for that. Otherwise, do a different route or skip Colchuck altogether.

Can I get that marmot's number?

Told ya so.

Am not.

Jesus....how many times have you been married? Who's counting. Twice.

I do my part,I vote aginst ass holes like King George and Ron{I'm going to make goverment small} Ray-gun,and don't fill guilty for whats been done to all of us by bad voters!! George et al are counting on you to continue this inspiring mindset. Just like Ronnie said, "There is nothing wrong with the economy!"

Sounds nice. Except for the cigars. I can't handle tabacco anymore. Thanks for the TR.

Like it or not. As a US citizen participating in "the system" you have agreed, albeit tacitly, to accept teh outcome of the election as the choice of "The People". YOU are one of the people. We are all responsible for George's actions. So get out and do something already. Posting lamely on a climbers board really doesn't count.

I have been involved with many nurses and married to two. It is standard procedure for insurance companies to deniy valid claims. They know that many people will never try to go beyond that initial rejection.

Buckaroo, Have you been up K2 or something like it? I mean no disrespect. I have not. Just trying to put your assessment in perspective.
