Obviously you haven't seen my gaper ass; I think that was pack to pack and it might have been closer to 5 hours. I was just spewin' some smack dude. All in the name of fun with Scot'doorResearch

The word I get from people is that the Toyotas are already underpowered. What kind of torque and horsepower are they projecting with a hydrogen engine? How cost-effective is it? Maintainability? Lots of questions to answer. Do you have a link? I'm interested in the technology, but I love my Chevy engine: vroom vrooom.

Trask, I have come into some endangered baby seal pelts (sorry, can't reveal source) and wish to make some earwarmers for myself and my honey. Could you help with some sewing materials and possibly a pattern? Thanks much.

You guys are all wet. Bush needs a bulldog in Defense; this way Bush can look like the calming influence. It's classic good-cop bad-cop. I think you guys have a incorrect perception of Patton (by the nature of the posts I've seen). Rumsfeld's job is to be a hard charger: he's oversees WARRIORS. I am disappointed in Colin Powell; he's soft. There is a time to be a diplomat and there is a time to stiffen up and hold the line and back your boss (the president). He needs to remember his roots as a warrior. Greg W P.S. DFA, blow a goat you liberal wanker; may tree-hugging militants drag you from your yuppie Outback and braid your entrails into climbing rope.

Just look at all the people connected to Clinton who mysteriously died off. Was that during Lewinsky or Whitewater, or both? We'll see if Mondale makes it to election day without having a "heart attack" or suffering some other fatal misfortune. Are you saying that Clinton had Wellstone killed because he wouldn't give him oral?

I free solo in a suit of bubblewrap. That's safe isn't it?

quote: Originally posted by ScottP: After reading JayB's initial post, a hypothetical situation came to mind: A climber goes out to Static Point say next weekend, before JayB can return to improve that bolt placement on Black Fly. This climber pitches as she/he is trying to clip the second bolt, rips the first bolt, craters and dies. This climbers friends see JayB's altruistic post, and conclude that it is JayB's fault. A wrongful death civil lawsuit is filed naming JayB as the defendant.? In this situation, Greg W was never there, does not know anyone named "JayB", and has no knowledge of anything that may or may not have happened at, or near, Static Point on the day in question, or any other day. That is all, my client has nothing further to say about this. Greg W P.S. It was a beautiful day to be climbing at Static Point; perfect temps and lots of sunshine. It was a good experience for me to see what type of work that guys like Mattp, DaveW, and others do to upgrade these older climbs.

I have heard you are actually quite a nice guy in person. Does that make you "one of these pussies"? I'm a lamb, ChucK; unless you get in my face (or say you hate my dog). That's pretty consistent with my persona here: I'm generally a nice guy unless some dumbshit gets on my nerves or comes after me; then I won't back down. Greg W

Tyrone, you seem like the idiot here. Your post about being able to say what you want behind a mask of anonymity proves you are a pussy. Are you that weak-willed that you are afraid to stand for what you believe in? You must be one of these pussies who acts all tough on the board and folds like a house of cards in person.

I replaced the bolts on American Pie and had a chance to look at the crux up close - that shit is BOLD with a capital B-O-L-D!! Especially considering it was bolted on lead. Greg W [ 11-04-2002, 02:42 PM: Message edited by: Greg W ]

No, helmets are aid.

That was basically our line of conversation last night, Matt. The bolt in question is the first bolt on the climb (with gear placements below) and is not at an incredibly steep section. A fall would generate some good cheese grater action for the climber mitigating a full impact on the bolt. Given your scenario about potential damage to the rock attempting to pull the bolt, sawing and filing the stud close to the nut may be the best way to go.

Call Charlie if you want to refinance; he needs to keep making payments on that hot SUV he's driving. Just don't tell him if you have a hot sister or aunt. [ 11-04-2002, 01:57 PM: Message edited by: Greg W ]

Trask - do you consider a seal pelt unworkable if there is a "Louisville Slugger" imprint on the hide?
