Don't you sound like a democrat? Wanting someone else to pay your way....

it is the internet. btw I've sixpack abs, a BMW, $10 million in the bank and I'm looking for a lovely lady to settle down with How flexible are you on the "lovely" and the "settle" parts?

When you don’t take your wedding vows seriously, you hurt your spouse and maybe some other family. When you don’t take your presidential vows seriously thousands of people die……big difference. If you don't give a F$#% about your spouse, why would you give a F>>@!& about your country....or anyone else's for that matter Are you guys serious? Do you really think people are either all good or all bad? You have never known anyone who is just human and not totally consistant. Like maybe they sometimes lie about a sick day to get out of work but would never dream of stealing a candy bar? Who inhabits your world? Simple one-dimensional people who are flawless in their commitment to country, work, and family? Maybe you do. Maybe lots of people are like that. Maybe I just don't know any because they are so fucking boring that I would shoot myself in the head to get away from them. People are just people--warts and all. Everyone here is perfect - perfectly moral, perfectly consistent and never hypocritical. oh oh oh me too me too!!

Disagree. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_pardoned_by_a_United_States_president You disagree with the fact that he said what I quoted or you disagree with the fact that using the lame "every pres does this waaa waaa waaaa" is a useless derailment of a discussion? This is all politically-motivated crap, just like the endless Clinton investigations. Both sides hate each other, and when they are out of power, use the legal system to take pot shots at eachother ad nauseum rather than try to simply suck it up and wait until the next election and spend their time convincing people of an agenda rather than that their political enemies are evil incarnate. Everyone who lives for this stuff needs to get a life. Especially on a day like this (sun!). Sun--that's for sure! I just went for a walk at lunch and actually worked up a sweat in the first two minutes. My new co-workers are gonna love me now!

Um, he just said that dems and repubs should both view this issue. And it is an equally big problem to dismiss it or to derail the discussion with "every pres does this"

having money didn't work for Martha. but then, she's a blonde white chick. hang her

You're a hungover quarry-climbin, deathwish-havin, pin-pounding dumbass

Two days.

Are you trying to out-nerd me?

I'm not sure why you are so upset by this, but to answer your questions: My shit wasn't strewn anywhere. There was a rope bag, a rope, and a climber. Pretty standard stuff for climbing. There were three of us; one was completely done, the second was being lowered, and I was only going to re-do the first half of the climb (and this was made explicit). And I sort of do consider being moved in on like that analogous to be being hassled to get done quicker. Moreover though, I felt that it was inconsiderate to the climber who had to be lowered right down into the guy's rope bag--which he was standing right next to. In general, folks here like a little personal space. I am not so sensitive to that (as you know, Rumr, wrestling and bigwalling will rid you of that) but I do try to remember to stay out of someone else's way when I am on the ground. Let me restate: I was not pissed off or felt like I needed to tell the guy off. I was very curious about the behavior and am now wondering if it seems weird/rude to anyone else on the board. I am not a Social Skills Maven, so I had to ask. Sorry if it pissed you off so bad.

I guess my post didn't make it in. Here it is: Okay, good points. A few details: it was morning, and this was their first climb. They were clean and after they threw their stuff down they started to tape up. It is true that they could have been pressed for time anyway, but it is still confusing to me how anyone would think that setting their rope on top of mine--literally, not figuratively--would save them time. I did have so move their stuff aside to collect my rope and bag. And I personally feel weird touching other people's stuff when I don't know them. I am not against anyone preparing to go before I've left. I just am curious if setting your stuff on top of another person's stuff and right under where the climber who is being lowered has to land is considered acceptible behavior. If I knew it wasn't, I would have said something. However, I am usually off the ground pretty quick and don't run into a lot of other people for the rest of the day so I didn't know if this has become the newly acceptable method of dealing with others at the base of a climb. I honestly don't think the guy meant to be rude, which is another reason why I am baffled by the little tiny episode. It hasn't particularly upset me, as a matter of fact, I laughed about it with my climbing partners later (I can make light of anything). But it did cause me to stop and think. Maybe its just cuz I'm an old fart who is trying to understand these youngins or something.

Yeah, me either. I think that's why it just caught me by surprise.

I think that asking for others' people's input to check my own reactions against hardly sounds like "worry" or a "lifestyle" problem. So fuck off.

It does sound like you have a drain on your battery. Even a cheap one shouldn't die in a year. If you test it with a multimeter (or if they do that at Shucks for you), your meter should read 12 volts on the DC scale on an accurate reader when the neg cable is disconnected from the battery. IOW: Be sure you zero your meter first. Reconnect it to the ground cable (and expect a small drop from items that are still hot--but not much). But if it is under 9.5, you need a new batt. Also test the charging system by measuring across the battery leads with the engine running. If the meter is accurate, it should be 13-14 volts,or just a bit higher. In no case should it read less than 12 volts (assuming an accurate meter), or less than the voltage of the disconnected battery. If the charging system is crap, the batt gets weaker as teh engine draws voltage from it. If it really is your alternator and it isn't charging at all, your car should go for about an hour before it dies (after you've charged it). If it ain't dead, it will run for longer (meaning that its just weak, not a goner). Finally, check your fuses. All your electrical stuff runs through the fuse box, and you can disconnect each one individually while measuring the response. Your initial read would be low, and then when you hit on the right one causing the drain, the voltage will jump up. Have a ball.

I'm glad too. The guy wasn't any top notch climber by any stretch--at least not that day on that climb. I was curious, so I stayed and watched.

thank you; i have broken that knuckle in a pretty brutal way, so maybe the vein got rehoused somewhere its not happy

He had a hottie with him. She was diligently putting on a tape glove. It's the new fashion statement.

a) If he's not a parametic, what is he? b) for being a gentlemen, he sure considers laying down the parametic line pretty quick. Seemed to have a great sense of humor as well. He may even sleep in underoos he is such a superhero.

Ballard bar like the Sunset Tavern on 85th st? The Alehouse in old Ballard? The Red Door in Freemont? My house? What are your thoughts?

And I am inquiring about yours. I am curious what the jump from, "What do you expect from someone that has little experience route setting." led to , "So you personally know the climbing and FA resume of all the individuals involved in the development of the area? " And no, you did not mention replacement or repairing anything; but that is the context of this coversation. So help me put the peices together here, I am slow to understand.

So that's required for repairing/replacing original gear? Wow.
