Thank you Minx. Smoking can be linked as a risk factor for most if not all of the high cost health care expenditures including cardiovascular disease and a variety of cancers, which interplays as a co-morbidity with many others such as diabetes, obesity, etc. If people quit smoking, its quite possible that our health care woes would resolve. I support this

You guys need to pick a strategy and stick with it, and Im telling you, AT skilz arent going to seal the deal with this one.

Yeah, even three stars is grossely misleading

Hmmm. Only about 5 years late with that beta. Better late than never, I suppose

Shit man. She's a snowboarder. Of course she'd gape if you told her your were a marker. Im tellin ya

Ran into that problem about a week ago. Dont think we're missing much.

Let's hear your theory, smart ass

Are you beating a dead horse, or are you performing an equine rectal exam?

Thanks. I got hooked-up.

Ever tried the Filson line? What is that, oil treated cotton? I almost bought a pair of "tin" pants a while back. A bit too expensive and they didnt seem like they are that durable. Anyone have comments on these supposedly weather-proof garments?

Its not the sound Im talking about, in fact, there is no sound unless there is a tranceiver set on receive. Its the constant power draw on the batteries and continuous output that causes the heat to build. Not unlike doing laps in the gym. Some routes I could climb all day with adequate rest between reps. However, continuous climbing of these routes is likely to result in me breaking a sweat after a few reps. Kinda similar. Actually, Im full of shite. Nevermind. Im sure there are some electrical engineers out there that could 'splain it better. I agree that its time for fern to upgrade.

I have had the same thing happen with a King handheld radio when I accidentally keyed the mic by cramming the earpiece of my sunglasses between the key and the strap holding the radio to my radio bra. Having the mic keyed for a prolonged period of time rather than intermittently with normal radio use, sucked the life out of the batteries and started to cook the nylon material of the bra. I would suspect that a similar type of "short" happened with your transceiver. Did your partner ever switch to recieve and get a constant signal rather than the intermittent ping? Although this malfunction with a transceiver could have fatal consequences, at least you werent broadcasting the details of your recent conquest with a co-worker over the Forest Service District repeater.

wtf dood

...of Theta pants?

Its bogey, and the pants are for my gf. Got a pair?

Looking for a good deal on an XS theta sk pant.

Please. by all means, uncage your...

Thats what I thought. Congratulations

Care to share, Minx, or is it just your MO to spaz-out like this once a week, or so

Ive gotta throw in a vote for Gordito's off Greenwood on 80-85th-ish. They have a pic next to the register: on the left, a cute, cuddly, swaddled infant. On the right, the biggest fucking burrito you've ever seen. They're hard to tell apart in the pic, though. You have to look close.

Ever notice that fat stack of bacon they always have chillin on the side of the grill? Man would I love to tear into one of those stacks. Mmmmm bacon.

Right now I have that weekend open as well, the 26th&27th. Im up for anything that will help me stretch my sea-legs. Might be able to talk a couple other chaps into coming out to play.

Ill be looking to get up to Muir, and other areas on and around Rainier, as much as possible/as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Im working on the 12th, but pm me if you get a posse together sometime in the near future.
