I got to work overtime inside until the sun went down It looks like the good weather should hold through the weekend though

I'm not real familiar with Tele bindings, but is it possible to adjust them up, to fit a men's size 9 or so? Cheers Josh

HOw the hell come you didn't post those on here

Ran into some goats as pack animals in the Idaho high country down by Sun Valley. Fuckers were loose, at night, with 18 inch horns and came with a warning from a disembodied voice in the darkness, and I quote directly in the classic southern Idaho drawl, "them goats is wild, they'll kill your dogs"

people like that make me sad Archies scary neighbors that is.

Do they know about cc.com? That should disturb them plenty. Sartre was definitely right though.

That's only because the screaming frightens yours neighbors. gawd i'm bored right now!

Is this a worthwhile technique for find a reason to go home early on a friday?

There's a girl with a definite sense of priority.

Any other vermin this is acceptable for?

Anything that precious shouldn't be allowed to loose it's charm with age. Besides, don't all topics naturally lead to discussions of drinking, snaffles, sex, or some combination of the three?

Why wait that long? I'm thinking Sunday might be a good day for a batch

I've started stocking up on the Gluhwein when I do my beverage shopping in Leavenworth(love that wine shop in the Subway mercantile ). Not as sweet as some of the spiced plonk, it's the bees knees on a chilly evening. no, no, no, just make your own! cheap red wine + 1 sliced orange + 1 sliced lemon + big tea ball with cloves, cinammon, allspice + sugar to taste Heat until it's steamy but don't boil add sugar gradually and stir so it's well dissolved. If your feeling spry, add a bit of vodka or brandy so it really kicks, or mellow it with some water if need be. We make it with the 5L boxes or the big jugs of wine and then throw whatever we don't drink into the fridge for later consumption

This time of year it's all about the spiced wine and anything warm and spiked It makes going to the dog park at night in the rain much more palatable

ooooh, new toys to fondle Got the inlaws one earlier this year. Of course we still have a windows machine

that guy was f'ing funny. he so gave sharma his first

If was dropped on his head at least as often I was he'll be both a good skier and a genus I'm thinking that there must a nice bell curve relationship between number of cranial impacts and intelligence.... Too many is no good, and to few is no good, you just have to find the sweet spot

Whatever happened to Ascentionist dot com anyway?

Great resources JosephH! Mod's This would be worth making it sticky

:) Rock climbing season is so not over yet!

See you there

Um, how far are we talking about lowering? I've usually had pretty good luck with either A) Grabbing the free biner (not the one connected to the anchor/belay loop, but the other one that the rope runs around) and just pulling/redirecting it enough to allow rope to slip a little B) If they can get off the rope for a moment taking the free biner (the one not connected to the anchor/belay loop) and just snapping it into my belay loop, so that it now acts in regular mode. (Though this really requires that you use it in Autoblock mode off your harness, which I often do.) (Remember, as it's loaded across the spine, whether or not it's open has no bearing on it's strength, so having it open for a moment while you connect it to your harness doesn't decrease it's strength. The only danger would be if you actually managed to get the rope out of the biner while you transition onto your harness, which would take an effort to do so and extreme stupidity to try.) or C) Make the wanker on the other end prusik a few feet. If were talking about a non-responsive climber, a long lower (more than say 1/4 of the rope length), and/or a lard ass (whom you can't redirect the device and lower) the block and tackle with a munter will probably be necessary.

And that's what Tuff Love is for

Ok that's a better reason

Thats a very frightening concept
