Nice job Timmay! Is it feasible to make forums RSSable? Feeds are sweet.

Nice tr and thanks for the info. Sounds like it would be an 'interesting' ski. Until more snow lots of chanterelles around there are to pick.

Super Furry Animals!

I've been diggin a bunch of stuff from this treasure trove lately. Right click and dl to your heart's content; it's free AND legal...

My fiancé and I were in the Three Sisters Wilderness via the Scott Pass Trail last weekend and the daytime bugs were no biggie. Dawn and dusk saw a lot of bugs on lake water though we only suffered several skeeter bites each and I'm a serious magnet for bloodsuckers. Dragonflies were everywhere! Hanging near Sisters lakes in June and July is not my first choice for summer activities. I was fortunate to catch a wild Rainbow for dinner Saturday night: Thank you fish!

Swervedriver Ejector Seat Reservation The allmusic.com review is spot on imho. The album was a 1995 UK only release. Drag it wasn't released elsewhere and more peeps didn't hear it. The album really drives my tractor.

Quoting Dave Riley? Your're joking right?! Such tact is akin to asking Senator Bill Frist his opinion on doctor assisted suicide. So what you're saying is that we should put the orchardists out of business just so YOU dunderheads can have a wee bit more snow and, who knows, perhaps a golf course or two in the future.

Picking on the short bus kid again, eh? I'm thiniking of a word...

Ascentionist "scheiße party"

Jane could be talked into hauling your vid cam and sticks for some of that schwanko $40 a bag human-grade doggie chow:

Anti-hero is probably more like it. Did he talk to and direct Woodward & Bernstein("Follow the money!") because of duty to country or because he knew Nixon and Co. were aggressively stamping out the FBI's Hoover era autonomy? Cut and pasted from today's Post: "He chased down lawbreakers of all kinds, using whatever means were available to the bureau, and was convicted in 1980 of authorizing illegal break-ins -- black-bag jobs, as they were known -- of friends of members of the Weather Underground. He was later pardoned by President Ronald Reagan."

Hope all are ok. Five Summer Stories is the film actually. The soundtrack to the film is by Honk. "High in the Middle" is a cool tune replete with cornball lyrics: "Traded my Porche for a cow and a fiddle tooooooooo!" Sorry to digress. Again I hope all are ok down there. The Honk reference hit a funny bone I guess.

What all y'all said plus thanks again Mattp for the beta! Fun with lichen: "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked..."

Geez Larry, Why the hesitation to edify?!?! Please do pontificate on the partical physics of snowmaking and how public interest is best served by drawing water out of the upper reaches of the East Fork of the Hood River during periods of low precipitation? Would an artificial carpet on one or two measley runs and/or a halfpipe have made for better skiing at M3adoz3 this year? My mind is yet made up on the subject however my instinct says, at least when it comes to M3adoz3 and land development, something is definitely rotten in the state of Denmark. I'm keen to know what others think...

middle sister stoke: we're going ta head on in early saturday morning if all goes as planned.

Priceless! Gots ta remember that one...

Not necessarily: "There are 189,200 acres of designated wilderness on the Forest. The largest is the Mt. Hood Wilderness, which includes the mountain's peak and upper slopes. Others are Badger Creek, Salmon-Huckleberry, Hatfield, and Bull-of-the-Woods."

It is scary how quickly and drastically the weather can turn. These were some views from the east Sunday around noon: And this unfortunate view we stumbled upon roughly 1/2 mile up White River from the snowpark: pre-season plywood booters are unacceptable. f-ing garbage.

Climb: skis and splitboard Date of Climb: 2/25/2005 Trip Report: The snow was tricky most of the way except for some turns, surprisingly, right off the top and then beside and immediately below crater rock. It was a 'my kingdom for a groomer' kind of day and yet still fun. Saw Dave and Glen on their way to a circumnavigation. Gear Notes: left pieps, puffy, probe & shovel in the car Approach Notes: pray for snow

Yeeeemotherbleepinghaaaa!!!

The lack of snow in the PNW was getting us down. Way down. Fortunately Fshrgrl and I planned a trip to SLC 6 months or so ago. Unfortunately two of our friends had to bail due to a blown knee and surgery. The cops were out in force at pdx. This would not be a bad beat: Day 1 we toured from Alta to Upper Cardiff Fork via Flagstaff Mountain: The Powerbirds were flying all over the place. There were moments where I felt as though I was back in L.A. during the Rodney King riots hunkering down at my brother's condo: We were stoked to say the least when we first looked into upper Cardiff Fork; somehow we managed to ski Toledo Bowl before the heli folks did. Fshrgrl found a nice line and wasted no time: The view from Flagstaff Mountain was a jaw dropper. We couldn't help but notice what amounts to the Wasatch style crop circles: Day 2 we got spanked. We intended to do a "bi-canyonal" tour from Alta to Spruces via Days Fork taking the bus back to Alta. The south facing slopes had hardened considerably overnight and we decided to downclimb a bit, slap on the boards and bail for a half-day at Alta: Day 3 we toured and lapped upper Mill D North Fork and met some real nice folks who shared their tea and showed us around: In conclusion, we can't wait to go back next season!

merci. the monsterized pooch is actually jane. pshop was used but not for funny stuff a la three-headed alien babies sired by the olson twins; it was used for editing and basic resizing & optimizing...nothing fancy.

Sunday sure was a pleasant surprise: There was some fun snow and not nearly as many folks as we'd expected: We ran into singing ivan: The snow was unusually consistent all the way to the car: Either I need glasses or my camera was acting up?

Whoa! Glad you're in one piece and happy birthday d00d.
