Couloir

Veddy-niiiice!

I have USAA also and have been really happy with them. One thing to keep in mind however is that if you have a life insurance policy with them as well as homeowners, and you report climbing equipment being stolen, and they aren't aware that you are a climber, it may jeopardize your life insurance policy. At the very least it may tip them off to review your policy and raise your rates.

I thought the same thing. I was #4

So the Club Gitmo detainees are getting good medical care? I thought there were being tortured.

Thanks babe!

I listen to World have your Say on NPR everyday. It's a BBC program and each day they read letters from people and devote time to his release. This is good news.

I'll throw in some layer's mash and some good pre-mixed grain to boot!

So Couloir when we're all done with the cc.com weight loss thingy, maybe we should have a potluck dinner and you could bring your fried chicken! Sounds yummy. That sounds like a grand idea! In the meantime however, and with deference to our good friend The Rooster, I'm afraid, folks will need to PM me for the recipe.

Umm, I doubt that!!!! A few years back when I was Seattle at Bumbershoot, I ended up at a party with mainly younger people there. They were doing beer bongs, being out of practice (10 years since I done one) I stepped and did a head to head beer bong races. They were damn slow. I could have done two or three in the time it took those kids to do one. I did put it on my list because it is not something I strive to be good at, I just am. I agree, kids these days. They have no clue. The key is to open up your gullet, and forget swallowing. Let gravity do the rest. I used to be MUCH better at it, but I think I can still hold my own. When you get back from Africa, we'll have fun at the next Pub Club.

There's is a very distinctive cattle path from the Hogsback left and up thru the Old Chute. You can't miss it. Or take the other distinctive path thru the PG. Although with the schrund being pretty open now and the warm temperatures, I would avoid it. You can make the call when you get there.

I can drink a pint of beer faster than anyone. I'm very organized and tidy. But not in a cumpulsive annoying way. I make a fried chicken that is out of this world. Maybe someday I'll post the recipe. (No offense Rooster)

What town are you in? I need a hole in my roof fixed. I don't need a new roof, just the hole fixed. A sheet of plywood and feather in some new composite shingles as best as you can.

Nuckin' futs.

Well done fellas.

This is a very good DVD. Great climbing scenes with an awesome soundtrack. I got a personal email from them telling me it had shipped, and the packaging that it came in suggests a pretty small operation. So, I guess I can justify the expense if it goes to helping these guys grow their business and make more cool movies. I recommend it.

Gently used but with many good years still left. They are size EU 11. $150 or other reasonable offer. Will ship for free within the US or pick-up local in Portland.

$19. plus free beer at Bishops. I'm 'head'ing there right now.

Cherry. I'm curious. Did they get worse from scratching them, or did they get this bad on their own? I saw a story on the news the other night that said poison oak/ivy will continue to get worse in the coming years. The reason? Yep, global warming!

Back in HS when this song was popular, I dated a gal that cried every time it played on the radio. I thought it was cute at first. Then, not so much. So, I ended it. Ran into her almost 20 years later and she was twice divorced, close to 100 lbs. overweight and seemed to have a jaded outlook on life.

Great TR! Yep, whenever it seems impassable, go to your right and it'll open up for you. "Patron tequila"

While we're on the topic, I used to carry a bottle of wine with me for the bivy. Sometimes a pint of tequila or good scotch, but usually wine. Now they have these 1 litre collapsable "boxes" that have more wine in them than a standard 750 ml bottle and you don't have to carry out a heavy glass container.
