Well in the meantime... somebody a while back had mentioned something about bowling as an all ages pub club diversion. I asked the manager over at Sunset Bowl about intrest. Before I knew it, she handed me coupons for twenty free games. I think if we ask, they'll work out something for a happy hour price on beer (happy hour is normally 3-7.) Any interest?

Just tune into the Pub Club thread at the beginning of the week and be ready to on Tuesday.

Before everybody rushes off to try and explain Fall Factor see this. Every time I ask this question, I get somebody rushing to explain what FF is. I understand the concept, but I don't understand why it's relevant. Let me rephrase that... Seems to me, what's most relevant is shock force. Let me draw out an example. I'm on a short leash, 6". I stretch to place an omni, I slip, I fall 12". Fall factor = 2 in this case. Shock force, modest, maybe 2 Kn. That's enough to rattle me, maybe throw out a bad back or induce a case of whiplash. Now, a more extreme example, I lead 10' up, slip, and fall 20'. Fall factor = 2. As the Thai say, same, same... but different. This time, the shock force is significantly higher, maybe 9 kN. That's enough force to break gear or possibly hurt myself. I'm not trying to discount the importance of understanding FF, but it seems to me the thing I should be most concerned about is shock force. That's a tangible number that's gonna tell me if I can really hurt myself. Am I missing something here?

The Buck's more a Duccatti stop, Teddy's is a Norton shop, and the Alki's the place to pose with a hog My vote's for the Buckaroo. That way I can stumble home.

Go Dru, Go!

Task, your stats are gone, damn it!

How about just "a lot of people" are gonna die. That's fucked enough isn't it?

There's our goddess, cool gremlins and all...

The Sloop =

And I was so hoping to vote "FOR"

I'd agree with that

Oops, my bad... Dave's right. If coming from 520, take the first exit, right at the stop sign, left at the light. Grady's will be on your right around the bend.

Per AlpineK, the Montlake bridge may be closed. If so and you're coming across SR-520, take the next exit (Roanoke I think), at the light hang a right and head down the windy road (Interlaken), at the stop sign at the bottom, you can either go straight or right. Grady's will be in between where these two intersect 25th Ave (or 24th or whaever the name of this arterial.)

Bummer, that sucks. I guess this stresses sticking with your partner (no matter how big a pain in the ass they can be.)

Show up at PubClub and you may find a taker. There's an impromtu one going on tonight at the Wedgewood Alehouse. Otherwise, tune in on Tuesdays for time and place. Ahem,

While I am a boarder, I'm not about to spray, cuz what JoshK says, is... um, true.

Hey, wait a second... ehmmic may be attempting strongarm tactics (but I think it's an honest mistake ) Are we meeting at the Wedgewood Ale House or the Wedgewood Broiler? The Ale House is a pretty non descript pub (good beer, clean taps, decent food.) The Broiler is a very cool "lounge" with dark ambiance and a family eatery attached to it. I think this is the original place suggested and the one that Mattp and Col. von Spanker scoped out and referred to. The Broiler's address is Wedgewood Broiler 8230 35th Ave NE Seattle WA (206) 523-1115

Well, at least there was some exposure to the problem. I think we outta thank K5N for taking the time to give us a heads up on a story we'd all like a little more attention given to.

The only experience I've had with MH has been with a bivvy bag constructed out of Conduit SL I found myself drenched every time I went out with it... actually it was only 3 times but the same story every time I switched to an OR Basic Bivvy constructed out of plain vanilla GoreTex. I haven't had a problem since (and this has included going to bed with damp clothing.) Prob doesn't have anything to do with your original question, but my conclusion is Mountain Hardware's Conduit SL branded fabric does not breathe nearly as well as GoreTex.

Hey Bronco, I like the idea of an Everett PC. There's a few folks out in Snohomish County if I'm not mistaken. Maybe we can even lure out Trask
