Dang, I'm gonna nominate you for the next opening on the Board of Directors.

Dairy cow meat is not tainted by the udder contents. Good track though, rack of lamb maybe, got one of those in the freezer. Fern, does Bermuda include any of that beach bouldering or seaside limestone they have down in that neck of the woods? That's a trip worth sanding drywall for.

Dru might remember, from back in the day when he used to care about that stuff...

Pfft, chop my bolts, you'll get prosecuted for trespassing and vandalism.

Hmmmm, not much I guess Fri Night: >Hot date with my wife: Little Shop of Horrors at Tumwater High School Saturday: >Sharpen blades on the tractor mower, field maintenance >Go march up and down the hills on my property for alpine approach training >Drag my daughter over to climb on the cliff >Maybe do some prep for WA Employment Security audit >Maybe play in the darkroom >Hot date with my wife: Ballard Art Walk and visit with friends Sunday: >Prod daughter in the morning so she can provide mother's day breakfast in bed >Go out walking somewhere for mother's day, slowshoeing up at Rainier? out to the coast to poke around on the beach? Exploring in the Bald Hills? My job is driving, not choosing. >Make something yummy for dinner that somehow works around wife's recently diagnosed food allergies: no dairy, gluten, soy, or eggs. Anyone got any recipe suggestions?

Need a more unique gift than a set of onesies, cloth diapers, or a thimerosol free home immunization kit for that new bundle of joy? This is just the thing: Yes, that's Grind, the Roadkill Rabbit, an adorable plush toy, sure to be olved for years and enshrine you as that favorite relative or calling uncle. If you'd prefer, there's also Twitch the Raccoon, lotta those in my neighborhood this season

I'm proud to have a new national slogan: The United States of America - better than Myanmar!

those guys are just lucky they weren't packing any toy guns

Well, duh, the avatar pic choice was not an accident

Just Saturday afternoon for a burst of cragging at a damp friendly cliff, Sunday I was off to wallow in the snow in MRNP.

As I tip, I can assure you that everyone loves some pictures. Sounds like a great time, thanks for the story and welcome to the state. The Cascades are pretty damned swell, but don't be surprised when they turn surly on you.

Was that at the Oh! Zone on Sunday? Saturday was dank, chilly, almost empty, and very very fun.

Easy folks, no sense getting riled over a little banter and punditry. I've always liked Castle, though I probably haven't been there in over a decade. I think Royal Columns in the Tieton is one of the premier beginner crags in the state, so many good moderate cracks. I took my 14 year old daughter there for a day of crack school, we had such a good time and never climbed anything harder than 5.6. Of course, this is wandering a little far afield in a TR, but it's generally a pretty good conversation...

Nice pics, looks like a good old time. Love the self portrait.

Hey ya'll, this is not the Spray forum, and the original poster is not a sprayer. I'm thanking Plexus and TomTom for having some serious answers, and I'm thinking the rest of you should shut up.

I couldn't resist playing with Joe's image a little to heighten the drama.

Fairweather, no doubt you feel the same about WSU where they had that massive riot 10 years ago over the important issue of on campus drinking. Recently, we had a double homicide at Ft Lewis over extramarital jealousy. In fact, military personnel commit domestic violence at a rate 3 to 5 times greater than the civilian population. I think we oughta shut that operation down too, it's a huge waste of public dollars. Face it Fairweather, you've just got an ideological axe to grind with regards to TESC. If you really only recognize four names on that list, I'm a little embarrassed for you. add: Off White, internet gumby to that list of alums. That'll make it five.

No chockstone that day, though I'd read of one in other TR's. Lovers Lane is also well filled in - no rock steps that I could see. The traverse from LL into The Zipper looked a little sketchy but doable. From what I've read in past trip reports, I think those gullies are as full as they ever get, ya'll should head out there and have some fun.

Here you go Arch: NSFW LINK. It's even less safe for work than the original comedy, since this "film" takes itself seriously and features actual sex. Err, I really mean it folks, it's an amateur pron site. Don't say you weren't warned.

ssssh! secret route.

Yikes! What a great TR.

Nice, I've never done that route, sounds like a good time. Five hours three people five pitches is not bad. Sounds like you were the guide and ropegun? That feels really different than swinging leads.

Looks like there's an alternative event there two days later! LINK IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK Now, that's more my cup of tea.

I dunno, I'd feel sort of stupid about my choice of hobbies if this happened to me...
