the first "game" my daughter played with me was swinging in her harness, rope in the middle of the living room. She was in a sitting position duct-taped so that she sat up nicely. I was swinging her while trying to catch a few winks of sleep. I looked over, and every time she swung toward me she would make a cute little face and open her eyes real big. took me a moment to figure out that she was instigating "play" for the first time. God, I need another baby!

Wow, people are tough on you Tvash. I know I have tried the ones with the chest monitor and hate wearing the thing. I have tried the ones that merely wear like a wrist watch and do not need the chest strap, and they had no accuracy or reliability whatsoever. My next one will have the chest strap again. that is all the input I have, but at least it was nice and respectful which has to count for something.

Perhaps a designated "Kids" section, down below the Pirate forum. We have Kevbones "for the fathers" down in the kindness section, a special kid section in the yard sale forum, and have people asking general kid questions throughout the other forums. Now have a guy seeking climbing partners with kids in the Partner area. Seems like it would be cleaner to just put it all in one "spray free" Kid Section Just my thoughts. Eric

I agree with Dawg. Hillary was a great man, great role model, great adventurer. The world was better with him. e

At about 5-6 months old, I used to hang my daughter up-side-down in a full body kids harness (some modifications) and hang her from the living room ceiling. It was like her swing. I would lay under her and watch her giggle. never to young to get them in a harness.

OK Dads, last night I attended a girl scout sponsored dance for girls and their dads/male rolemodels. There were about 40-50 father/daughter teams there, and it was a tremendously positive event. I saw smiles on the faces of all the young ladies, and pure love in the eyes of their fathers. On my long drive back to Wenatchee today, I wept a couple times thinking about the event, and the bright beautiful smile my 9 year old daughter had all night. If you ever have the chance for one of these events, I highly recommend you go. A much better fundraiser than selling cookies.

I have really wished I could be out on the boat in Erden's place, up until the last month. Man, it must be getting old in that rain day after day; good thing he trained by living in seattle. Hang in there Erden!

My greatest adventures will probably be vicarious watching TeleRoss post his TRs. God I hate working for a living.

WOW! That is a lot of snow sliding.

I'm sorry cfire, my comment was not aimed at you, more of a general response toward some of the other comments. Bad on me. my point is merely that most people are not of evil intent. Whenever we start thinking in life that someone is acting purely without care or remorse, it is probably a misunderstanding that merely needs better communication. Sounds to me like a letter writing campaign is underway to further the communication, it will probably all be worked out soon. Good on you for getting it done.

try putting it in the kids section above http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/731755#Post731755 I know that I keep a closer eye on that section

Most of the people in our system are not "evil," merely often have a different viewpoint and believe that they are right. Like dealing with some of the stronger personalities on this board, once they think they are right, they put their back against the wall and fight. If you can deal with them rationally before getting their backs against the wall, try to educate them, most problems are solvable. If that doesn't work, shoot the bastards and ....

ya rumr, I think I do know. Before I had kids I don't think I truly would have known, but now I know. e

Nice photo RuMR. You gotta be a proud papa. e

It seems to me that (ignoring the snowmobile deaths) avalanches typically catch people who have been trained, know the dangers, yet make the decision to go forth regardless. I often wonder if wearing tranceivers actually cause more death then they prevent, by giving that extra courage to enter unstable areas. I would be curious to know the percentages of non-snowmobile folks caught in avalanches who had tranceivers verses those who did not; and percentage who had training verses those who did not.

you say that some dipstick sued, then some idiot jury agreed and gave a bunch of money, yet you say "blame the lawyers." Seems like you are blaming the wrong group.

I always like to soak them in cider at night. If nothing else, it makes her smile

Thanks Ketch and Wirlwind. It will probably be early next week before I get to take a shot at it, but I will let you know. consider the beer free if we ever meet. e

Ketch, that is exactly the wisdom I was looking for. I am fairly mechanically inclined, but know little of the locks. When I remove the switch will it be fairly obvious what you are talking about "removing the tumblers"? I already have a kill switch hidden in the vehicle to prevent theft, so the key issue is not that important to me. Thanks Ketch!!

Back in about 1981 I worked one winter in the oil fields of North Dakota. Temp often at about -40F, not including the windchill. We were putting in 90 hour weeks out in those temps working on a workover rig. The gloves we used I have never seen anywhere else, but they were mittens, quilted work mittens, in which after a short time I could do almost as much as I could with gloves on. These were about $5-7 per pair if i remember correctly, wear out in a week, but would keep the hands usable for 16 hour days in extremely low temps. I tell this story primarily to indicate that after a short time and a little practice, one can do almost as much in a mitten as they can in a glove. If you only wear them on rare occaisions, that will never occur. mho

1991 Mazda Miata with 250,000+ miles. Key will not turn the ignition switch, tried lots of stuff, time to move on. I can get a new set up for $240 and spend a couple hours changing it, but other ideas come to mind. First idea: Can I just bypass the entire switch and put in a toggle switch for on/off, and a “big red button” for a start button? How would I “unlock” the steering wheel? Second idea: Can I bypass the switch with a “remote start” button? (Manual transmission). Again, how would I “unlock” the steering wheel? Any motorheads out there with knowledge or great ideas?

Red rocks without any doubt. temps will be warm/hot, will be able to do all the sport or easy trad you can imagine.

That is all nice, but i crave more photos of sherri herself perhaps Sherri posing in front of the artwork!

Beautiful Sherri-doll, and the art is nice too

Excuse the thread drift, but I would like to drink a box of wine and see Couloir's photo album. Uff da!
