You frikkan Canadians are amazing, God bless you all. Small note - abiet too late to save your rope. Put it in a Black Diamond Speed bag or the awesome new Metolius Port-a-cord rope bag stacked to feed, and clip it to your harness (or back). I've been using a Edelrid Eddy, a Petzl Shunt backup or a Russian Square figure 8 to rap, and I tie a few backup knots too. Don't know for rap device you have. Anyhow, feed it as you go, when you leave just leave it in the bag which you can tie it off and still protected inside the bag. I stopped wacking my ropes when I did this. Glad you're OK, been there done that:-) I don't think anyone who hasn't spent a day cleaning can realize how totally pwn'ed you can get at the end of the day. Nice public service project you folks did. I will leave you all with this Teddy Roosevelt quote which above all sums up your endeavor for me, despite what others may or may not think: "It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things."

Link To me, I do not think Carter has it in him to tell a lie about if he was told not to go, of course the admin folks didn't say anything to him. Carter was the Obama of his day, and a good person by all accounts despite some of the vitriol pointed at him as it concerns his job as the President. He didn't get re-elected which says something..... Regardless of what any of us think, here's the ambassadors point. "NEW YORK (AP) - Israel's ambassador to the United Nations on Thursday called former President Jimmy Carter "a bigot" for meeting with the leader of the militant Hamas movement in Syria......." and if you read the entire story at the link, at the end of the story the main Israeli point rears it's ugly head (spelling of "Axes/Axis" was verbatum): ""Basically, Syria and Iran, together with Hamas and Hezbollah, are the main axes of terror and evil in the world," the Israeli ambassador said. " ..."and now you know.....the rest of the story".

A copy of your HS's prank letter.

I swear to G_D it wasn't me this time. Ivan, can you scan it (delete the letter head if you want) and put it on here? This shit is soooo funny! At my sons school, they planted flowers in the shape of a peace sign, @50' across after having a peace sign in the window became a conservative talk shows issue. Then the girl fessed up and had to replant with brand new grass. So a bunch of volenteers helped her, but she put in a different species of grass - it's soooo obvious theres a peace sign.

Thats amazing, nice find Bone! Looks like a country with no lawyers or Gov't worker bees like OSHA. But conversly, they have freedom to walk on that, or whats left of it. Wow!

What a couple of Wussys that they couldn't use their lightsabres to fight off a drunk guy with a crutch. The one guy got a headache from being hit. Gezzzeessss.

Spent part of the day out on a cliff Sunday (4/20). Then in the interest of self-preservation and self-interest, I planted Jewelweed in 3 public places I won't identify to any of you f*ckers and in my backyard as well. Then I listened to Bongo and other music from the earth day celebration 1/2 a block away from my house while I my dehydrated ass got tipsy on a single bottle of Ujahn's unbelievably fine handcrafted primo Porter.

Add thong to your list! OK, but only since you said it so nicely:-) (but the results will probably skew crazy to read "YOU ARE IRON WOMAN, Margret Thatcher"

You are Iron Man Iron Man 80% The Flash 65% Green Lantern 50% Catwoman 50% Robin 50% Supergirl 50% Hulk 45% Superman 45% Spider-Man 40% Wonder Woman 25% Batman 25% hmmm 50% Supergirl and 50% Catwoman, maybe I should have answered the "have you ever worn a push-up bra" a bit differently!

Awesome, now I have a clinical reason and an interesting explanation.....

Well, in examining myself, I can say that I'm pretty f*ed up on it. I mean, I thought about it, and if those Eagles were dropping snakes down from up high, I'd be clapping, but it just seemed sad to see those goats dropped like that. Still, a birds got to eat eh? Great video footage too. Great filming.

What's this the pimped-out Mercedes anti-dirtbag mobile? Ya had to tell Kevin "Stop chalking up the leather cause yer hands are sweatin', I'm not gonna roll it!"

Dude, wheres yer harness? BTW, not sure when you were there as the signs been gone a while, but you should look before you lean! I was topping out a year or so ago and noticed that it wasn't attached at all on one side, totally rusted away. These pics are before I sanded, then primed it, cleaned out the rusty mank in the hole, put a spacer to minimize dielectric current (SS bolt-Steel railing) and placed a new Stainless bolt with the tiny "dawg" Aka Raindawg lite". Now we have a full sized Lil Dawg and can bolt freely and with less shame. The railing is old school for sure and defineatly worth preserving. Maybe this years project, (with ranger involvement) should be sanding, priming and painting these relics. Closeup. Cairns, are you holding a big rock under there?

I need to move there Andrew: I was out both days this weekend ( @ 500 foot elevation) and the only white stuff I saw flying was the occasional snow and some interesting soft ice pellets.

How has this thread gone this far and there are no naked pics surfacing? BTW, is Putin still all pissy about being compared to Dobby on Harry Potter?

Oh, it gets worse now that you're all sucked in:-) Now that the thread is going to hell, I got more, check this out. The effects of freezing Kleen Kanteens. The one that didn't split was all swollen up like a balloon, had to slam it down on the concrete to flatten out the bottom so it wouldn't roll over like one of those Clo0wn punching balloons. BTW, don't drop one of those Kleen Kanteens on someone either, or kick it down a snow slope say, from the top of the pearly gates, I'd rather be clown-punched by a Nalagene than have the stainless slamming into me. You were warned about the thread going to hell and ya read this post anyway...dudes, I told ya:-) -
Pink, you catch this one? full text link "“Nine, eight, seven ... ” A crowd of about 10,000 people collectively began counting down on the University of Colorado’s Norlin Quadrangle just before 4:20 p.m. today. Yet the massive puff of pot smoke that hovers over CU’s Boulder campus every April 20 — the date of an annual, internationally recognized celebration of marijuana — began rising over the sea of heads earlier than normal this year. “Oh forget it,” one student said, aborting the countdown to 4:20 p.m. and lighting his pipe early. He closed his eyes, taking a deep, long drag. “Sweet.” Although it’s become an annual and renowned event at CU, this year’s 4/20 celebration was different in some ways than in many previous years: The crowd was so large it migrated from the long-traditional site of Farrand Field to the larger Norlin quad; festivities kicked off earlier than normal with daytime concerts; and CU police handed out zero citations.............." ....more

Me too, I even use steel carabiners on occasion (short walk topropeing) to mitigate the aluminum issue. Then my buddy Dave pointed out that EVERY damn time I drink a can of Coke, I must be getting via ingestion shitloads of AL as the Coke is fairly corrosive....hmmm thought I: right on, so then I would ONLY drink the cokes in the plastic bottles...... till I heard this plastic issue, then I pretty much mostly gave up on Cokes, except for lots of Whiskey-Colas of course.
