  1. I was just up there today. The FS has contractors working to repair a stretch of road washed out by the river about halfway between Dingford Creek and Goldmyer Hotsprings. That work is costing thousands of dollars a day. When it is done it will last until the next time it washes out which could be next year. How can you justify that kind of money being spent for a few people to save 8 miles of walking? When that new bridge is finished at Goldmyer Ford that gate will close, and if the road washes out, it will stay washed out.
  2. What's the point? Half of those characters are not around anymore. There's no one to carry on the insults. CPB is the the only primary still around.
  3. Well, a fungus, not bacteria, but close enough.
  4. Because wine has alcohol in it and if one were to drink enough, it would render one into a "passive" state.
  5. Tash, RobBob hasn't been around for more than a year, but you wouldn't know that.
  6. It's funny that you should mention screw caps, because I've heard that some of the finer wines are starting to use them. They make the perfect closure. Air tight, doesn't oxidize, won't contaminate, easy to open and easy to reclose.
  7. There's a lot more to some of us than others of us. Since I don't understand wht the hell you are talking about, you must be gay. FAG! You simply have a much larger volume of distribution for beer, that's all. No need to get upset.
  8. A bet from an individual who dislikes puns?
  9. I hadn't thought of it that way, but you are right. The accident was caused by a bad belay.

    This is it.

    Overture, curtain, lights, This is it, the night of nights No more rehearsing and hearsing our parts We know every part by heart Overture, curtain, lights This is it, we'll hit the heights And oh what heights we'll hit On with the show this is it Tonight what heights we'll hit On with the show this is it. What's up, doc?
  12. PI Article We still aren't getting the whole story. The captain of the ship was transferred because of this accident, but it wasn't his fault. The support crew members who dropped the divers to 190 ft are to blame.
  13. There's a true statement.
  14. Fred is that you? You'll be 113 years old in 2036.

    Bummer, sorry to hear about all that. I've had years like that. Hopefully you have someone to lean on.
  16. Part of it has to do with him having gainful employment. The other has to do with getting out in the mountains a lot.
  17. Gosh, almost anything you were to buy today would be a vast improvment over what you have.
  18. Forecast for Smith is 30%, 20%, 20% chance of rain for Fri-Sun. A bit iffy for such a long drive. How about a day trip to Vantage on Saturday? About the same chance of rain, but then it's a much shorter drive.
  19. The answer is that most do not. That stuff is for carnivors who are "exploring" vegetarianism.

    They say bad luck comes in threes. That's two.
  21. Pig treated with De Crisco
  22. Do you not realize if it weren't for ARC, this would be another boring week at work with the same boring spray. You should be thanking him for providing some excitement around here, instead of sounding all indignant. When he first posted about Willis Wall, I thought, "this is going to be good". It got off to a slow start, but it eventually snowballed into a wonderful row.
  23. More like indeterminate gender. Pat, meet Pat. Pat, Pat, Pat, Pat.
  24. "It is believed that the "Houdini" stripped and covered his entire body with petroleum jelly to climb out of a window measuring 20cm x 60cm." Slippery Bastard

    boots

    If you have a tendency toward cold toes then don't compromise on warmth to get an all-around boot. Get the warmest, best-fitting boot available for Alaska.
