Not in the age of Avian Flu, biosecurity rules!

There are only 10 types of people in this world; those that understand binary, and those that don't. Binary, I think I dated her.

Yesterday I drove my work truck for the first time in a month. When I got in I noticed mold and mushrooms growing from the carpet and upholstery. I thought to myself, hmmm must be a little damp. Kinda of musty smelling too. Guess I'll turn on the defroster. Bad Choice. I immediately heard wrrrrr, thump, bang, bzzz, quickly followed by more wrrring, thumping, banging, bzzzzzing then the overwhelming smell of puree of snaffle and snaffle nest. Now between the snaffle puree and mushroom forest, I think I can give you a run for the smelliest vehicle. But I may have to leave it out in the sun for several weeks to match the shit-n-shirt stench.

Nont likely. Certainly not from me.

here is a babel fish translation: The French mountaineer Jean-Christophe Lafaille, launched as a recluse with the attack of Makalu (8.463 meters), to Nepal, has not given a his news for 48 hours. Party Tuesday of its base camp, with 5.300 meters, it bivouacked the evening even with 6.000 meters, Wednesday with 6.900 meters and Thursday with 7.600 meters, according to his wife and sporting manager, Katia Lafaille, which had a last contact with him Thursday, by satellite telephone. It was to leave Thursday in the night and to gain the top Friday. The contact envisaged Friday, at the end of this attempt, did not take place, indicated Mrs. Lafaille. Jean-Christophe Lafaille, 39 years, which launched out only in the normal way, until there ever climbed as a recluse winter, without oxygen and in alpine technique (i.e. without preliminary equipment of the way out of fixed cords and ladders and without heavy camps intermediate), did not give his new Saturday either. "It felt in form and justified" Its silence could be explained by a technical breakdown, because the batteries of its apparatuses were very low at the time of the last contact, one explained in his entourage. It was to join Saturday the base camp, with which its close relations are not in connection. The weather conditions were difficult. At the time of his conversation with his wife, Jean-Christophe Lafaille specified that it made less thirty degrees under his small tent of bivouac and that it had the frosted face. "It did not sleep all these nights, because of altitude and of the cold", still explained Mrs. Lafaille. "But it felt in form and justified", she added. Jean-Christophe Lafaille already climbed eleven tops of more than 8.000 meters, the majority as a recluse or by new ways. He already succeeded in December 2004 winter as a recluse and alpine style in Sishapangma (8.064 meters), until there considered to be impossible on the most 8.000 meters. Makalu was climbed for the first time in 1955 by a French cord.

I went to elementary school with a brother and sister with unfortunate names. Clark and Candy Barr.

Lets keep ducks out of this barnyard. Rooster, its all yours.

You need an anatomy lesson.

My pack has a removable 3/4 foam pad for a forced bivy, feet go in the pack sack pulled up as far as possible. Belay jacket/ balacava, gloves rain pants and rain jacket always live in the bottom of the pack. I usually have a day or two worth of petrified power/luna/inedible brick bars stuffed somewhere in the pack. Headlamp and rudimentary first aid kit are always in the top pocket of the pack too. I also have been known to actually do a planned "forced" bivy to get more suffering practice. Did I mention carrying 10 lbs. of extra body weight?

I thought I already did, but here you go

Sobo Have a good trip and stay safe. Twas good to catch up over those beers. I was waiting for that train to come by and reset the beer prices. We want a full TR when you get back.

Goshawk or Peregrine would be cool. Shotgun would be fine too. They aren't protected. Have your way with them.

not for me! I have "training" for the next 2 days. Hmmmm, wonder if I can sober up and get out of bed to make it? Hey Sobo, are you in TC or off to China already?

g-spot? Women like what!

Is that Yoda or an army man peeking over the edge of the pot?

In other news, the Village of Crawforth, Texas reports that the continued investigation of the disappearance of their beloved idiot 5 years ago.

Newest Pope-mobile?

How the fuck did he get elected? He can't even sing the Howdy Doody song.

Here is a funny picture that can be posted without being banned. It was Dru's initiation rite, to see if he could get a date with a Montana Hooker.

Paul Congrats. Have fun.

Don't know if you'll like it, it is not quite the PNW. Not quite Cascade Pass Not quite the Columbia Gorge Not quite a raven.

Nothing like a Dunkleweiss by Spaten while gazing from a alpine hutte in the Stubai Alps.

Correct that to "was".
