I got her absolutely nothing and I expect something similar in return. But it sounds like you got yours hooked up and I am sure she will be stoked!

Anything in moderation is OK...cept maybe Meth and Lice. My old trigger point instructor used the quote, "The solution to pollution is dilution". The body is an amazing, self righting machine, look at Hunter S. Thompson...his body was amazingly durable

Edited by chirp (4 minutes 38 seconds ago) Edit Reason: Price drop I hate to do this but our new pup needs TPLO surgery on her knee joint and its not cheap. Offering up two fiberglass Pacific Water Sports (PWS) sea kayaks that have been used only a handful of times and are in outstanding condition. Adding in 2 Werner Carbon paddles and Dragonfly spray skirts. PWS is no longer in business but operated in the south sound for years. I couldnt find any specs or other images online so hopefully my pics and an in person look see will suffice. Asking $3000 for both boats, paddles and skirts or 1500 for one boat,paddle, and spray skirt. My boat is an 18 footer and the other is 16 foot. I can get other measurements as needed (I know some details might be needed so hollar out if you have Q's) I will also add specific pics if anyone asks. Located in Tacoma, thanks for looking. please contact via: chirp at eyejuggler dot com 18 foot boat 16 foot boat Foot control Rudder one of the paddles 18 ft cockpit ( a compass goes in the center black circle, included.)

United States v. Washington, 384 F.Supp. 312 (W.D. Wash. 1974) better known as the "Boldt Decision", was a controversial 1974 court case which affirmed the right of most of the tribes in the U.S. state of Washington to continue to harvest salmon. Many opponents of this case couch it as a "grant" of rights to the tribes. More accurately, the decision was simply affirming that when the Tribes released their interest in the millions of acres of land in Washington State through a series of treaties signed in 1854 and 1855, they reserved the right to continue fishing. For example, the Treaty of Medicine Creek (1854) includes the following language: "The right of taking fish, at all usual and accustomed grounds and stations, is further secured to said Indians in common with all citizens of the Territory." Most of the treaties negotiated by Territorial Governor Isaac Stevens included this, or very similar, language. To interpret this article of these treaties, United States District Court Judge Boldt looked at the minutes of the treaty negotiations to determine the meaning of "in common with" as the United States described it to the Tribes, and determined that the United States intended for there to be an equal sharing of the fish resource between the Tribes and the settlers. Of this, Judge Boldt wrote: "By dictionary definition and as intended and used in the Indian treaties and in this decision, 'in common with' means sharing equally the opportunity to take fish…therefore, non-treaty fishermen shall have the opportunity to take up to 50% of the harvestable number of fish…and treaty right fishermen shall have the opportunity to take up to the same percentage." The decision was the culmination of years of State of Washington limitation of treaty fishing by the Tribes, resulting in the United States suing the State of Washington to force the state to comply with the treaties. It was immediately met with shock and outrage by non-Native fishermen, but the ruling has held for more than 30 years. The Boldt decision also upheld that U.S. federal treaties signed with the Native Americans continue to be in effect as are all International Treaties agreed to with the U.S. government.

"Most" of those were put up on the lead and consequently are alot better spaced (read: runout).

So I did a fast hike up Tiger 3 this morning and upon arrival to the summit was greeted with a small group celebrating a birthday complete with hats, wine, and cheese. *Thanks for the cheese BTW. After a bit an older gentleman whom I had passed further down on the trail arrived and we got into a nice chat. He looked to be 60ish and fit as well as super sharp. Turns out he is 84 and was a former guide on Rainier during the late 40's. What an awesome chap and still on top of his fitness and desire to stay there. I was suitably inspired and with tummy full of cheese, I bade him good day. What I would like to find is a list or if someone knows guides from that period, I am fascinated by his story and just curious about what the recreational period was during those days since no one I know in their 80s is remotely as fit or aware. Thanks in advance! Jumar savoring the sun and the free cheese

I say its time to eat the ignorant white trash trailer park folks that exist oblivious to any thing out side of WalMart Sales and WWF events. God Bress
