So here it is:

Yes I have the striped T-shirt, I am weearing it now actually. That is good to know that the the other layers are nicer. browntoe-> They have more than just base layers in merino.

They be itchier than IceBreaker fer suree. After a couple washes they get good though. IB is like silk out of the box. I think I am warmer in wool, because I do not get the chill when I stop. Valhalla Pure makes all their long undies from Powerdry.

The irony is that I worked today, for free, by choice, in the freakin' cold. Sucker. It was fun actually.

for you for me

It was kind of a cross between linguine, fettucine, and trending a bit towards lasagna. I don't cut to straight w/ the pizza wheel apparently.

I made pasta for the first time in my life tonight. That is to say I made the noodles from scratch. YummY! I'll do that again.

You buy me some rail riders for the mog, I'll drive you there.

I was aware of that. My computer is too ancient to run XP though, and I also don't feel like giving MS $300 for a new OS. 98lite runs pretty smooth, and if you dith IE, you lose a lot of the security problems.

From the people that brought you Kazza: Skype interent phone Service Anyone try this yet? I can't until I get my own computer running again, but it looks appealing.

tim wiped out his hard drive and started fresh w/ linux. I suggested using a lite version of Windows 98, along w/ Opera instead of Internet Exploder. trask translated to sort of AOL/haxor speak. Hence the

"I am the anti-consumer," I only spent $600 this week.

98lite IEEradicator OPERA 7.23

I think this story is appropriate at this point.

Try using OPERA if you are stuck with a dial up. It has a lot of features that can make your connection seem faster, like selecting wehter or not to load images. Read about it here. Sometimes the telcos have good sign up deals, I dunno about in the US though. We are getting DSL for $16.95 CDN/mo right now.

Duuuuude, it's fer building Kickers. JibJibJiboroooo!

You sound about the same size as me, I'm real happy on a BD 188 Mira.

I have been unable to find AAA Lithiums, only AA. Do you have a source???

chewing up the spray and throwing it away...

So anyways, 30cm of the lightest snow I have ever skied fell on Saturday night. Sunday was chaos at the hill, but there was lots to go around, and I had a blast. As the opportunities for first tracks started to dwindle, I soon got to wondering how that beatiful line that I skied on Boxing Day would be with an extra foot on it? With Fern in town for a few days, we decided to go and check it out, along with another friend. After a day of lift served we nipped down and picked up our packs and swapped skis around, rode the chair back to the top, and toured the ridge over to the top of the neighbouring peak, which left us standing on top of the same run I had done only a few days before, only now it was different, better... DEEPER, and it was still untracked. It was good. Really good. Like top 3 good. Now my skis have been to see the p-tex man, I've had a couple of rest days, and my gear and I are waiting for the first storm cycle of 2004. Bring it on... Thanks to my good friends for making this all possible, and most of all for sharing the good times.

When I bought a torque wrench, and started using it, I soon learned that I had been over tightening almost everything.

The rangers in the Bugaboos were telling me that the in that area are eating rap slings. The real problem is that they chew them up for nesting material, and then they are supposed to eat it in the Spring. Well, Nylon is not that nutritous,. The rangers at the time were advocating chains on regular descent routes for this reason.

and now it's broke for me...

Whatever, I was there, you weren't.
