I am printing some pictures, and one of them is too washed out. I'd like to intensify the colors (specifically the yellows) in P-shop. Can someone tell me how to do it? I can barely do anything in P-shop, because I am a stupid woman.

So having to pay a user fee to get the privies cleaned is the same as living in Nazi Germany? Please.

What's the big deal? It's thirty bucks a year that goes toward trail and road maintenance, and to keep up the privies. Plus, if you don't want to pay, you can do volunteer work instead.

Ketch, please keep us posted. I got a good buddy out there on that there race. TIA.

Many chatters are already chatting in a chatroom near you.

Thanks for posting that.

Seems like a dumb place to go 200. I got up to 118 on my bike one time, and then the idea of a bunny running out in front of me got me to slow down before I got to terminal velocity. Far as 200 goes, I haven't done it, but one of my good friends has been a Bonneville racer for maybe 20 years. I had the good fortune of going with him in 1996 to drive the chase truck and do split times and whatnot at the summer meet at B'ville. He didn't get in the 200 Club on that trip, but got some record or another at about 196. I asked him what it was like (I had a broken leg at the time, so taking the bike out on a run myself was not an option) and he said it just took a long time to stop, going that fast. I had approximately the same experience going 118 the summer before, seems that's the big deal with going fast. I'd like to know what that doof did to his bike to get it to go over 200. One could assume there was turbo/nitrous involved, I don't know that even with the modern hardware you can get a bike going that fast just with blueprinting and porting. EDIT: I just saw the post above mine, which basically covers it.

Stinky macro on the Stylus, though, if you are into that sort of thing.

I just heard a rumor that mags are requiring 5mps now. I looked at some submission guidelines and am not seeing it, but if anyone has heard of specific pubs that require that, please speak up. I don't want to spend an extra c on an extra MP unless it is necessary for that purpose.

You can find UT behind the bar at the Twisp Brewery. I just had him pour me a beer a few weeks ago. He had a big smile on his face, Twisp seems to be treating him well.

I've looked at about a million pictures of this variety, and it is not the one.

North Cascades, west side. There's a lot out right now. My omelet this morning had some lovely chanterelles in it. I have about 15 of these, and they all have a lighter brown dot on the top. It's not prominent, like a nipple, but it's certainly a lighter brown dot. The coloring on the outside of the cap goes from a dark tan color at top to a creamy white, and the gills can be seen from the ouside, as the caps are somewhat transparent. EDIT: the gills are white. No, you don't need to point out about the liver damage. I'm still not 100% sure what the shrooms are.

I did a little looking around on a mushroom website and there are a lot of psilocybes there and I don't know which ones grow here, so I haven't been able to wade thru them all.

If the law were changed to allow for bolting with a power drill in Wilderness, one could also expect to see chainsaws, wheelbarrows, mountain bikes, and snowmobiles in the Wilderness areas. And that's just the beginning of it.

Anyone ever chatter any more?

I bought a Canon s40 when they came out. Good camera if you need fully manual....but my s40 is being replaced with an s410 Elph. The s410 performs very well against larger cameras in terms of lens quality, and has a way better macro than most of the rest of the real smallies.

I always use a rinsed-out plastic Gatorade or soda pop bottle for this purpose. Nalgene bottles are way heavy, 5 oz for a one liter versus 1 oz for a one liter Gatorade bottle. 'Course for a longer trip, where weight really becomes a consideration.....well, there are other lightweight alternatives out there.

No, driving a car doesn't work, either. Take this from a girl who had her 1987 Soobie wagon stolen from her off-street parking less than six months ago. This was just so they could get the stereo out, which at probably 50 bucks street value, was worth about what the car's worth.

Well, I can't speak for PK, but in my case, that was not my intent. I was merely trying to participate in the discussion.

Toilet paper burns just fine even if it has pee on it. Personally, I am not a huge fan of flagging, or even cairns, except perhaps to mark key turns and crossings. I spend a lot of time off-trail, and I guess it seems a bit more like an adventure if my route's not flagged or cairned. That said, I've been thankful for a marking or two to keep me from getting cliffed or way off-route. Also, there seems to be two schools on off-trail travel: one is to try to minimize impact by following in the footsteps of others who have been there before, which causes a boot path to form, or to try and disperse the footsteps and minimize wear in any one area. Personally, I think the boot path is a slightly better option.

D'oh! I thought it was "Klen-key."

I just drove by that place earlier today and felt reminiscent....used to be a big stagehand hangout.

OK. I read the first two pages and the last page, and I don't know where this is happ'ning. May or may not stop by, just wondering when it is, and where and when people are meeting.

REI may be a big company, but Wal-Mart? Hmmm.....
