My experience with booties on my dogs' paws is that in deep snow they're pretty much useless, or the dog just wants to rip them off. I used to use vaseline petroleum jelly to keep snow from balling up on their paws which works pretty good, and then I found this stuff called "musher's wax" which works great and can also be used as a balm if their paws are raw or cut.

I think I have Beyond the Groomed, I'll check tonight and PM you...

Hey! When ya gonna post your Mont Blanc trip report?!

Thanks for schleppin' Rob, you ! Ol' thrashador gets in from France tonight and I'll be piling his jet lagged ass into the car and coming down Friday eve., with any luck it'll be reasonably early. Hopefully there will still be a patch of grasslands free for us We'll be in my beige pathfinder.

It's soooo comforting to know I'm not the only idiot sucka on this site!!! That was fuukin' brilliant though!! I would have rebooted my computer sooner had I not been laughing so hard and trying to see through the tears in my eyes!!! Nice one, tim, some of us deserved that.

Why would I waste my time with a 40lb dog's penis when there are perfectly good horses out there?

if you think that freaks you out, you should see the tatoos I put on each of my dogs' penises...

I never had total confidence that the National Do Not Call List would work, but now it definitely won't. http://www.msnbc.com/news/971221.asp And, if by any chance, you'd like to interrupt the good Judge and ask him if he wants to buy some insurance, here's his info: The Honorable Lee R. West Senior United States District Judge Western District of Oklahoma U.S. Courthouse 200 N.W. Fourth St. Oklahoma City, OK 73102 Rm 3001, Courtroom 303, Third Floor Chambers Telephone: 405-609-5140 Chambers Facsimile: 405-609-5151 Clearly the rights of telemarketers take precedence over an individual's right to peace and quiet in their own home.

and don't be such a pussy Jon!

make 'em scream like a little bith.

But, don't do it until Oct. 2. I'll be out of the country till then.

Hey, let's all plan a synchronized invasion of tt.com. Certainly they can't delete that many posts at once, hehe.

Anyone going slower than 75 mph in the left hand lane, I don't care what state you're in, should be shot. And how come nobody out here flashes their lights to oncoming traffic when they've just passed a speed trap to warn drivers coming the other way that they're approaching said speed trap? Of course, you do it when you're out of sight of the cop. That's called watchin' out for your fellow driver back east (shite, here comes the abuse...!)

jesus! only virgins get excited over 4"....

Hey, hey, hey, , Count me in to. I don't want to miss the Tuft fest, been looking forward to it for a month already and still got another to go. I may bring a friend too. Possibly thrashador and fshrgrl. Don't know how much climbing we'll do, maybe looking for birds to kill and fish lips to rip in the vicinity instead, and then join the party!

That's what I tell him all the time...

I haven't been a member that long, but I've also met great people through this site and it's been a great source of entertainment, knowledge, humility, laughs and yes, sometimes even compassion. I owe Tim and Jon a huge debt of gratitude for reasons that are way too sappy to go into here. I just put my money where my mouth is though. T&J, don't let the bastard(s) get you down. This site is extremely well done and you guys should be proud! I look forward to meeting you Timmy sometime when I'm in Bend this winter, it'd be an honor to make a few turns with you. Keep up the good work!

Hope everyone made it and had a good time, know I did! I'm hurtin' too! The best story from our team is runner 10 on first leg is going through that portion of Portland commonly known as Tonya Hardingville when a little girl in her frontyard yells, "HEY, HEY YOU!" Whereupon our guy looks over and she says, "THIS IS WHAT MY BROTHER THINKS OF YOUR HOBBY!!" At which point her about 6 year old brother drops trou and moons him! That and the woman who flashed everyone her tits as she was finishing leg 34. (And no, it wasn't me...)

Sure I have, in 97 so the memory of pain may have faded. But I remember thinking then that it was a piece of cake compared to the 24 hour mountain bike race I did in West Virginia (talk about being scared of getting a flat in the woods at 4 am!!) 2 years earlier. You're not worried about something mechanical going wrong, like you are in a bike race, you just run. Then you get in the van and you sleep. No biggie. Of course, I probably be eating my words in 48 hours or so....

Well no matter how crappy I feel during the race, or unmotivated to get out of the van, the thought that will keep me going will be: "This hill may suck right now, but it sure beats slogging up Adams with a full pack and fatty skis that act like sails in the cross wind practically sending me sliding on my ass!" Nosirree, falling in and out of a van for 24+ hours will be cake...
