Has anyone heard from mtnrngr (aka, duane)? Is he off serving his country, or what? Just curious and hope he's safe. Greg

I've seen him throttle a snafflehound to death, stuff it in a crack that was too big for our largest cam, clip a draw to it and go...No shit, man.

At last, we find Dan Larson's long-lost brother!! Greg

I saw my doc yesterday and he told me to ice twice a night for 10 minutes and take ibuprofen at night and in the morning. Worth a try and as long as you're icing you've got an excuse to sit on your ass on the couch! Greg

Hey Bronco; You're headed out that way, why don't you take him under your wing?

Word, thanks for the info.

Dru- Is MEC still carrying the Inferno? My latest catalog (Spring) didn't have them listed. I realize not everthing in the store is in the catalog, but have seen them before. I'm thinking about getting a second pair and don't know a good source down here. Greg

My $.02 (or .0302CAN) Greg The way I see it is if you fit them loose to begin with they will never stretch...its only when they are tight to begin with that they stretch, I dunno if this is actually true or not but it makes some kind of sense... Your $0.02 is now worth only $0.0299 Canadian as the CDN $ continues to rise against the weakening US $... You might be onto something there. Well, I'll have to put off my shopping trip to MEC until your dollar starts it's spiral downward again.

Good job Trask. Horsecock, it's not just for climbing anymore. Keep horsecock with you at all times in case you have an epic: Seattle traffic, long line at Starbucks, whatever. Munch on horsecock lovers!! Greg

quote: Originally posted by Dennis Harmon: JayB, Basically what you're saying is that you've never done squat for your country and you're going to try to turn the argument around. Just admit it, lad, you've done nothing and never will. Dennis Supporting freedom and a capitalistic free-market economy is the best way to do something for your country. These are the ideals that this country was founded on. Hold your government representatives in check on how they vote, what pork they push, and how they impair our freedoms. You are right, Dennis, we haven't had a war, but these are ways we can foster the future of what makes America great. I mentioned it before, but I think you would find "The Fourth Turning" a compelling read (see earlier post). The authors believe that Gen-X will be the policy-makers in the next global conflict and the Millenial Generation will be on the ground. Oh, one other thing: piss off, fucko! Greg

Dennis- Be nice to us, we are the ones who are going to fuck you out of your Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and shuttle you off to a home to die so we can spend more time at the cabin with Buffy and the twins throwing a stick to Spot and buffing our Lincoln Navigator that we bought with the money we got from selling YOUR house! Greg Proud conservative, gun-totin', trad climbin' Gen-X'er

quote: Originally posted by Dennis Harmon: They have only taken, and taken, and taken and been spoiled rotten by their parents. They are selfish... and I'll keep on saying it. Dennis I agree with some of what you say about my generation. However, Dennis, we were raised by Babyboomers. Where did we acquire these traits if not as a direct product of the parenting we received. You cannot vilify Generation X or the Millenial Generation (your "Gen-A-holes") without looking at those who raised us. Read "The Fourth Turning", by William Strauss & Neil Howe for an interesting look at how generations mesh and how they fulfill roles in the world at large. Need some reading glasses, old man? Greg

Used a product called "Body Glide" on the hike up to Dragontail the other day and it worked great. I had blisters left over from the previous weekend and the Body Glide prevented further irritation. I'd give it a thumbs-up. Greg W
