Saw it tonight. So bad it's good! The special effects are definiltey pretty neat, so it's a much better theater movie than rental. The best part was the dipshit vice president and president who were obviously patterened after cheney and bush. The Cheney guy even sort of looked like a younger version of him. The bush guy, when confronted with some critical decision, just asks the cheney guy what to do...hahaha Pretty amusing all and all. Also featured was the charlet moser pulsar ice tool! and some north face tent (maybe a mountain 25) that they never managed to guy out very well. As expected the walls were always flapping about when they were in it.

1.) Similar to your electronics packages, those stupid packages they use at costco. Why does a fucking phone card need to be packages in 8 square feet of plastic!? 2.)Jackass seattle drivers. They can't merge, drive in the rain, get out of the left lane and numerous other things.

Damnit...you're right Well, at least more people will see it here until the mods move it You came up here in the night and stole my helmet, didn't ya, you bastard?

I lost my orange BD halfdome helmet sometime in the past month. I was convinced I had just misplaced it, but after searching everywhere, it looks like it's actually gone. If you have found such a helmet, I'd love to get it back. as reward.

I had this BD halfdome for like 1 month before I somehow lost it. I loved that helmet. And it was orange to boot!

Yeah, USAPhotomaps may be the best piece of software I've seen a long time! The slow fade between photos and topos is sweet!

Yup, BushCo screwed us all. NEVER FORGET.

If there is really 18" at higher elevations I am certainly glad...the glaciers need all the help they can get in the struggle against BushCo.

it's true it adds weight, but I figurd even if I shot the entire load (hehehe) of the seam sealer on the inside of the tent it would only add 1.5oz.

to the greatest generation!

Ahh, ok, at the very high elevations...I can see that. Plenty of stuff can be done lower down, esp. considering most of the range is below those elevations. :-) Good points are being made here...one of my scariest "near misses" was in the spring...all it took was a little insolation to get shit moving like hookers on aurora.

So, besides just making it up, where do you get your figure of 18" from!?! If you'd bother to look at any of the telemetry sites, you'd see that most of them have stayed the same or gone down in the past several days.

I think the super lightweight and waterproofness of the silnylon make up for the sliperyness. What about adding "dots" of the silicone sealent (quite sticky) to the floor every 12" or something? That might be enough so you could at least keep pads from slipping all over the floor.

Boring Oregon Volcanoes Suck. The North Cascades do not. End of discussion.

5 points for whoever can identify what the "YEEAAHHGG!!!" is in reference to.

Ironically, you could practically consider Nixon "liberal" compared to the trash the republican party has become.

All the info I found on it says 14 to 15oz. Where did you see 24oz??

Well, I certainly would side the other way in terms of their intelligence, but obviously it's nothing neither of us will ever know about either of them. Interesting thing about his wife...my dad went to Kerry's speech last night and this morning. Apparently he was very taken with the speech his wife made. He thought she was impressively direct, intelligent and a great speaker. Definitely in contrast to Laura Bush, who seems to be nothing much good or bad. I will admit, however, that the Bushes make a perfect couple...he's guilty of drunk driving and her of vehicular manslaughter...it's a match made in heaven

Wow, that Theta SL is a sweet looking coat. I dont think they made that when I got my cirrus.

Please, we don't claim Ralph. In fact, most democrats hate Ralph even more now considering he is pretty much *the* reason Gore lost. Also, how can you honestly say Kerry is a moron and Bush is not!? I realize you don't agree with him on anything, but he is certainly the more intelligent of the two. P.S. Did anybody see him speak last night or this morning in Seattle?

That's a good question...what do people consider the top if they are going for speed? I've climbed the haystack a few times but I dont recall the last time I've climbed it when I am just going up there for excercise.

I honestly believe a kerry/mccain ticket would make this election an absolute landslide. I cna't see it happening tho, with distinct differences in some important social issues, etc. I'm still wondering if cheney will be dumped last minute. I think he's a negative for bush if anything.

Thanks for the post. I didn't see Gore's speech at all. He made some valid comments, but I guess the way it was presented wasn't so hot. But he doesn't have mental defects, give me a break. I'm not sure yelling during a speech makes you crazy.

The Arcteryx Sirrus SL is *the* lightweight hardshell. I have been totally impressed wtih this thing. I got rid of my precip because it didn't breath well enough at all. Also, Pro Mountain Sports has a very nice montbell hardshell. It's worth a look. Very high on features and low on weight. It looked like a very quality piece.

Look for a quality lens and large size CCD over megapixels. Most of the small point and shoot 5mp cameras will take a worse pic than a 3mp camera with a good size lens and larger CCD. You'll get a lot less in terms of chromatic abarations, color blending, etc. Not to mention that the larger lens is going to be better for photography in general in terms of letting more light in. I've always had good luck with Olympus and Nikon. Canons also seem to be very nice. I think my 1,2,3 would be Nikon, Olympus, and Canon for digital. I'd personally stay away from Sony but that is just me...
