I can make you a good deal on a Munter hitch....

Wool Rocks! And the thinner, the better. Smartwool, Ibex, and Icebreaker make great gear.

I just bought a pair of Motorola T5420s from Best Buy for $49.95 minus a $15 rebate. They are FRS with 14 channels and 38 codes. You can compare different Motorola radios here. The top of the line models have barometric altimeters, thermometers, electronic compasses, and weather channel receivers.

Thank you, Jay. This is the same question I asked earlier and never received a response. The 'No War for Oil' bumperstickers on the back of 16mpg SUVs really kills me. I was biking home from work yesterday and got stuck behind an old VW bus plastered with such rhetoric, belching smoke and gas fumes, creating his own personal hole in the ozone layer. Ugh.

oh. aunt flo[w]. *now* i get it. sorry i took it so personally, 'tude. i thought you were dissin' my turf! (thanks for the check, dru.) so, who wants to get drunk with me this weekend? Double gosh....

Think Pro Mountain Sports.... yeah, wtf *is* your point??? Gosh....

Think Pro Mountain Sports....

I have a Suunto Altimax and a Garmin eTrex Summit. I bought the Altimax (without the electronic compass) because it was cheaper and I heard that the compass really sucks the batteries. It works great, but I usually forget to calibrate it at trailheads or reset the cumulative gain function. The alarm sucks because it is not loud enough. The Summit also usually needs recalibration at trailheads unless there is a clear sky (clear of mountains and heavy forest). The detected satellites need to be far apart in the sky for the altitude measurement to be accurate (or position, too). Typically, the GPS is much more accurate on a summit than halfway down the side of a ridge or in a valley There is a screen which shows the location of the satellites in the sky.

Hey dude, Let's not let a few facts get in the way of good spray... Rock on!

Can someone explain this 'war for oil' thing? Especially as published on bumperstickers on the back of SUV's? All the US has to do is end the embargo, and Saddam will sell us all the oil we can burn.

I think DFA takes his online persona a whole lot less serious than others do. And that's the best approach. I find him rather entertaining.

It's so refreshing to hear this admission. Thanks.

Yum... That's some good lookin' horse you've got there.

I don't ski, but here's another idea: Ski Strap

OK Corral has the best ribs, greens, and hushpuppies in Seattle.

A lower resting heart rate is a result of endurance training and conditioning. Comparing resting heart rates between individuals really isn't relevant. Of course, my resting heart rate was in the mid-30's when I was cycling 250 miles/wk.

Think spork...

If we take greg's point-of-view to the extreme, we should require drivers to pay for their road usage by tolls on all roads, and the toll amount based on the cost of building the roadway and the weight of the vehicle. Without toll booths, gas taxes are the closest approximation to achieve this. Another point of view is that of a transportation system, where roads, bridges, ferries, buses, trains, etc. are all lumped together as a transportation system and we all share the cost.

Costs $5 to walk into Mt. Rainier National Park ....

Do you know the closing time?

I've seen it. There was this guy with a rather large beer gut at the local gym watching his boys boulder. After awhile, one of the boys grabbed a rope, rapped it around his waist a couple times and tied it off while the guy grabbed the other end of the rope for a hip belay. The boy then proceeded to try climbing.

Doesn't running and climbing use different primary muscles? Climbing is about lifting the body up which is straightening the legs by the quadricep muscles of the thigh and the glutes. Running is about pulling the trunk horizontally over the foot, bending the knee by using the hamstrings. Cyclists use their quads glutes as well.

Hey!

Ummm... The line reading "Men's Results: 2002" could be your first clue.
