I'm with Mouse on this one. I don't think microfilters remove heavy metals. Do we have a scientist in the house who can confirm or deny this? Some of them there heavy metals are NOT good for ya, nope, not at all.

For blisters, I've added the Dr. Scholl "cushlin ultra slim" blister pads. They are kind of thick and on the gelly side, and stick for days. Get a big heel blister, stick one of these right on to the blister (yes you have to pop it carefully and yes you'll probably have to soak it off) cover with duct tape, and live to slog more miles. I swear by the stuff, though it's better not to get blisters in the first place.

She's not a scapegoat, she's the National Security Advisor. Even through all of her double-speak, it's not hard to see that she's been doing a rather poor job of it. One of the things her office is charged with doing is functioning as a clearinghouse for information about domestic security, and it seems they made a hella lotta mistakes surrounding the events of 9/11. And please, what on earth does her gender have to do with any of this? And perhaps more importantly, how come it's the MEN here who have made it an issue? NOT RELEVANT!

Jesus H. Christ, what a full of shit filibuster our esteemed National Security Advisor is pulling on the 9/11 Commission. It's on KUOW live iffin' ya wanna catch the last bit of it. I don't think she's given a direct answer on ANY question she's been asked.

Haha Icegirl, your buddy Greg came over to say goddbye to the person I was talking to, and I said to him, "not gonna say goodbye to me, areya?" to which Greggy Weggy said, "no." Person I was talking to said to me, "he just did."

LOLOL...WAY better than a fake chica IMO.....you go gettum, gurl!

Dude. The website looks fake to me. Hardly makes me feel threatened or inadequate.

Well, real or not, girls take note, the fellas really like what Ms. Bond is selling. So, remember, when you're out on the big mountain, the big rock, the big scree, the big whatever, don't forget to fake fellate your gear at every rest break. The fellas will go nuts with lust, provided you are not too stinky. Personally, I think the whole thing may be el-fakeo. The pictures are absolutely ridiculous, and at no time does she look windburned, sunburnt, dirty, scratched, underweight, or anything other than Playmate-of-the-Month.

Still a bunch of harnesses, lots of different styles and sizes there. An Alpine Bod runs 13.50 with sales tax.

I just put a 5/16" QL on the scale, weighed in at 72 grams. Price tag says $.75, but can't remember where I bought them. The single chain link idea is a very good one.

time to chat.

EDIT I want nothing more to do with this. Mike, I am sorry if I have offended you. I didn't mean anything by it.

wrongway, loved you in the chat tonight...but come on...this is what you choose to be memoralized for, like, forever, as your first post?

Ok no flaming please. What would be bad about having aluminum crampons as one's first pair?

Gapers chat, chatters gape....Sunday night chatter time is now.

yep, burn them. But matt's right, in case you ever get different boots or sell them or whatever. I tend to customize all of my gear to meet my own needs. I hate stuff like flopping straps, and would rather just make things work the way I plan on using them. Ankle is average, I guess. It feels fine, I move around, it throbs, I sit.

Yep.

Well, I cut mine down on the same crampons. Not super short, but shorter so they don't do that. If ever they are too short, I will put a whole 'nother new set of straps on them...piece of cake.

Why don't you shorten them, you silly boy? Just leave enough to do what you need to do, including getting them all loose so you can get into them, and leaving enough tail so they won't come undone.

Stimpy.

Well....there never is a convenient time to get stuff like this done.

Ankle surgery today went off without a hitch. Home resting comfortably, and already weight-bearing. If anyone in the Seattle area has a walker lying around, it might be nice to borrow, night time potty trips could be a little bothersome. Shoot me a PM if you have one. See you all Tuesday at Pub Club!

I find Tele_Nut icky and scary.

Getting very close to full capacity...
