I don't know how missed this classic one Andrew: tre appropo. D59ZWa8ehgI

I just voted this "Best thread revival" of August 2008.

I think ya'll are buyin into the bullshit the fake news is stuffing down your throats. This kind of shit happens every few min in the US. Seriously, from your memory, how many deaths can you attribute to someone walking into a grow operation? Didn't some guy just get mauled by a cougar while on a run? Shit, you're probably more likely to get nailed by a bear or cougar...or an asteroid. Just cause someone is growing dope doesn't mean they are murderers. P..L..E..A..S..EEEE! If you want to look up stats, go look up the number of people killed by wasps last year alone. I got nailed twice just last year, one of them I got stung an estimated 300 times while on rappel. There's a stat you can take to the bank. (or the grave as the case may be)

Give that they are republicans I'm guessing that the uniform starts out something like this....you know, kind of a retro 60's sexy thing. Hmmm, the first choice was kind of large. Had to replace it with this, but you get the idea. Good luck with your choices Carolyn, remember that men, especially powerful men in particular, will tip substantially more if you gently touch them and smile as you take their orders. My bro bartended some in college and use to hit some high end events, he use to watch this happen all night long, then later there was actual studies that confirmed it. The worst thing to do is to get so busy that you start getting that harried look thinking about yourself, and don't focus on your customers and their needs. It's a damn difficult thing to pull off successfully as your shoes are making your feet scream in pain and you're running on fumes at 1am after a 8 hour+ day while only getting 4 hours of sleep the previous night...but that's the job eh? Hopefully you can make it work and bank the scratch. God luck!

40 years? Damn dude, you're like.....old. Whats your name? I think I know everyone else who has posted on this thread so far. Anyway, welcome to the cc.flamefest:-). I see you finally found how to work the caps lock and get it off! If you click the smily face above, you can add lil things to your post like that rolling smily face thing I just put in there. Pink goes a few steps beyond that and finds all kinds of stuff to pop up inside his posts. Mike, love to see a Salethe TR when you guys get her done!

So giving the maturity of the operation, length of time based on the efforts (terracing etc etc) sounds like you are projecting that they killed a lot of folks there with some invisible weapons eh? Cause the LEOs always list the case and guns found to make it a bigger deal than it usually is. Since they didn't list any guns, they must have been invisible? Said "In addition to the marijuana, agents removed more than 1,000 pounds of garbage, fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, irrigation piping, and propane canisters." Funny they don't mention guns. Say, you still projecting Hillary as the solid winner for pres too?

*Can't answer as I'm not the requested demographic*

Don't know who was flaming whom. Must have been taking a nap. In my world we cover everyone at work, it averages just under $300 a person at Kaiser. However, they have like a $15 deductible each trip. I actually think that Jayb has made a better choice with the large deductible, but that's not what you get or the way it happens when you let the employees pick the plan. They wanted it simple and cheap (for them), and looked at several options. It does cost a bit more. Next thing you know, they're damn happy and don't want to leave and you're make money hand over fist off their efforts. What were we talkin about?

OP asked "Anyone familiar" with the area. So PC replied: He means this (posting extra slowly for ya:-) Please note possible actually 44" tires.

I sense a new campground under the overpass's about to open up....How much $$ for a night? The collapse thing could help reduce the homeless issue and if you swing it right you can get a per head fee for every homeless person you permanently get off the streets. Mo money. Mo money the movie with the great Damon Wayons: Mo money, Mo money, Mo money...yo. Mo money the climb: Mo money the attitude:

Totally concur. In fact, the biggest impediment to free climbing with them is getting over the mental block and just taking them, they do great and you'll find all kinds of placements, even on routes you've done many times with regular cams, once they are on the rack and you have them available!

Another new sign? You know....Erik the ranger, before he left, had once told me that he thought too many signs were a bad thing in a park. He had lots of reasons and examples behind this, but the bottom line was that once you get enough signs, not only have you radically changed the character of a place for the worse, but then no one reads any of the signs and they all loose the impact you wanted to start with. He had mentioned a bunch of signs that he could have installed but had passed on for that reason. I thought about it for a while, and believe now he pretty much had that nailed. If you want to pass this on to the new sign-installing ranger and rangerette, that's more than fine. Eriks still available if she or they want his opinion or to confirm the factuality of this. It's not like he was to stupid to know to install of these signs. He had considered and rejected it so as to maintain the character of the park. ps, wasn't me either:-)

Just you. You've probably just been drinking again....like me tonight.....

Ha ha, I was thinkin' you might say something like that. Is there a bitch I can talk to to get it changed back? I'll say somthing nice about you sometime....

Nice soliloquy. BTW Porter, I see you changed my moniker under my name from Couchmaster to "original routesetter", what the hell is this, did you finally catch on that I've been doing your sister all these years?

Thanks Matt. Yeah, from the outside looking in Hillary round one on healthcare looked marginal at best, horrendous at worst. 2nd go round, from what I could see, and I didn't look too closely, looked like it was much better thought out and planned. It turned my opinion around 180 degrees on the subject. I know there may have been times I've been less than generous towards her, but I was very impressed with Hillary's choice of advisor's to work on that project. Maybe she'll transfer to over to Obama or McCain. Shes still a sitting senator.

The right hand version was a great way to access the pitch that ends near the corner. Well, it was till our bolts got whacked. I have not seen a soul on it since.

Your link doesn't go to the specs Shaolung (shear and tension). Traditionally, wedge anchors outperform sleeve anchors in both. You sait seems better, but can you find and post both test reports for us to peruse? That's a good price for a Powers SS 5 piece Supersparky, $3.40 each, however, although it would work fine, it still seems pretty short at 2-1/4" long, can you not at least get the 3/8 x 3"? (BTW, most of the handdrilled steel 3/8 bolts when the transition to 3/8 from 1/4" was happening were 1-3/4 and 2-1/4 long and I've never heard of a failure of a single one of these, it's more for staying with what is common) That would be THE bolt for the granite up there. OK, edited to say if you click the link in the link then the link shows 600 kn and 1000 kn for the 3/8 sleeve anchors. That's probably the working load, not the ultimate load, and is unusual in that there is no length correlation (longer is stronger by a bit in each diameter). The factor between working ad ultimate is usually X4, but it is arbitrary and you would want to double check that. Sleeve anchors usually are a bit (not a huge bit) weaker than wedge anchors, yet are easier to install and are known to not spin like wedge anchors can do.

Thank yew,... the defense rests.

As I understand it, and I think this was one of Hillarys biggest shining moments, she hired a recently retired, sharp, female republican congressional staffer who had a strong interest in health care to help her revamp the Health Care issue which was poorly put forth earlier. The plan was to recind or allow to expire the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% and totally fund it off that. Looked like a good idea from what I saw, and big props to Hillary for going to the mat and trying to do what she believed was the right thing for the country. Had she exhibited this kind of behavior instead of the posing she was doing so poorly with, she'd most likely have been the next president. We waste so Fucking much money on healthcare. You all opposed to any changes need to start by recognizing that you still pay for those poor folks smart enough to work the system to go to emergency rooms to get checked for something as simple as a case of the sniffles while working stiffs just get shit on and impoverished. It's damn efficient as it is right now. The hospitals CANNOT AND WILL NOT turn anyone away from the emergency room. Oregon is a bit different than the rest of the nation with the Oregon Health care plan as Oregons Governor for 8 years, Kitshaber was an ER room doctor, this was in issue he changed vis a vis the federal funding with our state alone, which is working pretty good.

Ha ha! OK

I got it pretty much under control after almost going to the big house for almost planting big Joe Meneski and his buddy Beaver 6 feet under in one of those brawls that had 5 dudes and me going full on crazy. This was 30 years ago or so. After that, I got invited to do TAiKwanDo and use to round robin full contact spar, full on fighting except you couldn't punch to the head, with 2 Black belts and a Brown belt until we were almost about to drop - one after another 2-3 times a week. Invariably, into the thick of things I'd get angry and start to fire up ...best way to describe it is "Insane out of control Berserking"... the match would be stopped, sometimes with difficulty, until I could regain my senses and sanity. I owe them big for staying with me as I tried to kill them all during these sparing sessions, but eventually I got it under near total control through a gradual process over many many months. It helped that they were all big dudes, well over 6 feet, and the Brown Belt had been state champion wrestler in like 198 or some heavier weight limit...and you all know how small I am. Now I seek true peace and inner harmony. :kisss: Besides, these Russian kids look like they'd kick my ass, and I haven't fought anything or anyone for over 32 years now so all those muscles have atrophied as well. Unfortunately, or fortunately, that sense of truth, justice and right hasn't left me, so here I am. Anyway, back then I was @ 130, now I'm the same height, 165 and according to my wife, much less toned -she grabs the flab on my arms and shakes it while laughing as she says "Billy, what happened? You use to be so strong" : as if to emphasis the truth of this point:-).....Nah, not worth it. So...help!? Call the number and hop for a coincidence that a patrolman is free and already cruising your way a few blocks out. PS, Geoff, thanks BTW for those words!

True Chicken hawks doesn't often prey on Chickens although they do prey on some birds on occasion. Hope the Rooster breaths easier. Maybe Mt Mouse is about to panic though.

They did Jeff. The Officer was a great guy, he mentioned that they had been working on a missing child priority one call and were all busy near systemwide (found the child evidently). By the time I'd even gotten to the top the asswipes were gone anyway. I think that the Bear Spray might be a hell of an idea. Hate to spray these F*s and have one of them jump up dazed and confused and fall over the cliff. They sit right there on near the edge. Last year, when I confronted the 5 Russian MFers, they started getting pretty frisky and uppity and the party moved back away from the edge as the "discussion" progressed. This time one of them tried to get behind me several times....but I've danced with multiple partners enough times and there was only 2 of em, so they passed.

It ain't over till it's over and it's ain't over now.
