then on the 12th is there a party up at muir for the anniversary bake sale?

I was out running on a trail once and went around a bend and came face-to-face with a horse. The horse freaked out, reared up and almost tossed the girl riding it. I felt awful.

is there free liquor at your work right now Rob?

that makes sense as at $5 canadian you're practically paying people to come.

studies show bulletin board admins are twice as likely to be sex-starved and lonely as those who only post to them.

But imagine the brown coils those things drop!! true, true and I guess they're kinda loud too. screw it, just cut 'em up and use 'em as bivy sacks and handwarmers.

I find the problem with snowmobiles is their area of impact. They leave a big footprint in noise pollution and the fact they can cruise 20 miles in a day easily. I can be deep in the Three Sisters Wilderness in winter yet I can still hear that whining drone as they charge up the hill for the 1000th time at the wilderness boundary. And dealing with the herds to access the wilderness in the first place. They jam parking lots with huge horse trailers and rv's. I hate them for this as a means to a recreational end more than as a utility vehicle to get people into places to do stuff (which I think should be limited too). But I've put up with them over the years. Some are very nice helpful people but when they blow by you leaving the exhaust it's like someone spitting in your face while they give you a compliment.

some of my most spectacular bike wipeouts involved hardpack snow in college in Minnesota. Ah the back wheel fishtail when trying to speed up. Or the front wheel washout when braking. nothing like a faceplant on a 0 degree morning trip to class!

many of my stoopid stories are the result of girls in the vicinity does that count?

helicopters are also more exciting than sleds on snow

plus you can do crazy stuff like this with 'em

jetskis are the tools of satan but a chick magnet at the local dam mmrrrrmrmrrmrmrmrmrmrrrrrr

it was also a despicable example of urban planning. kinda like Sandy Blvd.

you can take your alion devil-worship pentagrams elsewhere

skateboard luge down big hill by friend's house. no way to see where you are going and at high speed those old independents get wobbly. plenty of blood donation those days. stupid sweet gum balls fall off trees and wedge perfectly under truck, stopping board dead sending kid flying. also bruised up shins trying to run a little kid's bigwheel down the same hill. thing span so fast the pedals were totally out of control and started bashing my shins before the front wheel flew off and I supermaned over the handlebars.

We were in the lower icefall. We got pretty soaked for awhile there.

we were there too where the heck were you?

thanks what is this sesame street? fra....fra....ezzz...ezzz...fraa...eeez...freshiez aaaahhh time to go home

I am single-handedly responsible for the fiery death of at least 20 gi-joe figures and maybe one or two starwars guys as well. several caused some significant lawn fires oh the humanity.

stupid thing as child puffin' tough and gettin' mad page tawps
