I don't know many architects who would put up with those conditions on a regular basis. How'd you get the short end of that stick?

Here is a fairly extensive list of websites that discuss the potential hoax. Here is a condensed version. I'm not saying I believe it, nor that I disbelieve it.

I think I have an explanation...... Dru today:

both of the 3 of them?

OK, who is logged on as Dru right now? It certainly doesn't act like him.....

There's actually some pretty good evidence to support the assertion that the original lunar landing was faked.

Actually, I spoke too soon. I should have read the article before posting. I stand by what I say about mercury, but I am familiar with the Lake Roosevelt project area. I've actually visited and sampled some of the mine sites in the area, on a couple Patty Stone actually came with and observed. Most of what we found at our sites was lead....huge hits of lead in soils. The refinery in Canada dumped tons and tons of lead slag into the Columbia just before it flowed into the USA. I sampled at an old lead mill in Colville, WA where we found huge levels of lead...to the point that the county health department moved renters with children off the site the day after we informed them of the analytical results. It wouldn't surprise me to find mercury at the mills in the area that processed gold ore.

I'm not extremely familiar with the area being discussed, but in general, tons of mercury were lost into rivers that were extensively placer mined (dredge boats with huge conveyor belts). It's not uncommon to find 'pools' of mercury in depressions in the bedrock in rivers mined this way. The Powder River in NE Oregon is a prime example of this. Natural sources of mercury do exist, and early prospectors often followed mercury in streams and rivers to it's source and started mining. Again, I'm not familiar with the specific geology or mining operations in the area being discussed.

I agree about the WB-400 as I have a jacket made out of it. It makes me question the methods used by the testers.

I bought these from Overstock.com earlier this year. They were actually shipped from ClimbAxe in Portland. I like em for those times when I'm tempted not to take crampons due to weight. They were perfect for Adams. FYI, there's a good deal on a few pair of Grivel 2F's in OR's sale section if you're looking for something beefier.

Oh PLEASE tell me you don't listen to Jerry Falwell!

The 'minimal tool' for a helluva wilderness area party.

That's not what this test says!

I'm SOOOOOOOOO disappointed! Didn't expect THAT reaction. Maybe the last gf was just trying to make me feel good, but she always told me I reminded her of PO.

Muffy, are you dissin' on my creative expression? I had to pay the gal at SuperCuts an extra $10 to do that for me!

I've changed tons of em, never torqued em. I have a pretty decent feel for torque as I've torqued quite a few other things. Never hadd a single problem with breaking a plug.

I think Muffy accidentally signed on using Trask's pw.
