  1. My wife just got a new pair of skis so we're selling her old ones without binders. She toured on them less than 10 times; the bases and top sheets are cherry. They are a great all conditions ski and would make a fine set of approach boards for a mountaineer who wants to stay light. $70 pm me for pics and/or more details Cheers!
  2. Nice job Timmay! Is it feasible to make forums RSSable? Feeds are sweet.
  3. 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.
  4. 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...
  5. 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!
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Picking on the short bus kid again, eh? I'm thiniking of a word...
  9. Jane could be talked into hauling your vid cam and sticks for some of that schwanko $40 a bag human-grade doggie chow:
  10. 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."
  11. 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.
  12. 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..."
  13. 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...
  14. middle sister stoke: we're going ta head on in early saturday morning if all goes as planned.
  15. Priceless! Gots ta remember that one...

  17. 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."
  18. 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.
  19. 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
  20. Thanks for the heads up. It's a water hog and turns otherwise healthy waterways into bogs from what I've read. Mine is containered as is all my bamboo. Arundo is to California what Scotch Broom and English Ivy are to Oregon, right? The clump I dug up started from a gallon container and within four years had grown to about 4 feet in diameter. Digging it out wasn't too difficult as the root system was very shallow though I did have to use an axe to divide the clump. I've never seen the straight species, the non-variegated variety, for sale commercially in OR.
