    Cocaine is better to shoot. When you snort, you absorb maybe 50-60% of it. When you smoke it, you absorb 70-90% of it depending on your skill. When you shoot it, 100% goes right into your bloodstream.
  2. Or you could get a consumer report or reasearch what lowest price you could get one at and then fax your offer to the local dealerships, saying this is what I will pay, deal or no deal. Somebody will be willing to dump the inventory.
  3. Word! Cycle Barn will rip you off. Same with Beaudry motorsports. My Dad took his Aprilia there for a tune up. It was there a month before they returned it basically as the same condition as it went in. As Foraker said, shop used. There are tons of people out there who buy a bike, don't ride it and then sell it. I bought my Aprilia Falco with 1000 miles for $5500.
  4. I was about to respond to the initial post by saying, "Why are you asking us for advice, Colin?" Then I saw the thread date. Now he fields FAQ during his slideshows. Good find Eddie.
  5. Yeah, that is where I found it. So it is a spoof? Crap. Someone else told me guilible was taken out of the dictionary and I went to check.
  6. http://knradventuregear.com/Slings,%20Quickdraws%20&%20Cord/kong_quickdraws/kongfrog.htm Those silly sport climbers. What will they think of next?
  7. Trip: Silver Star - that one route Date: 5/11/2008 Trip Report: Since I had to be back in Seattle by 8 pm, we left scenic Lynnwood at 4 am for the 3 hour drive up to Silver Star Creek, 7.5 miles past the Early Winter Spires. Rainer Bergendorf's book lists this as an overnighter with 8 miles in and 10 hours to complete. Following the route of a couple telemarkers that we caught up with on their way down. They went up the middle gully and descended the right one (skier's left). We ran into a soloist who was taking a break before we starting up the middle gully. Looking down it. Four hours into it, we stopped 1300 feet below the summit, not wanting to ski down ice up higher. From the point of our descent, the snow varied from iced over corn to patches of powder until the timberline where it was "cascade concrete". The line is behind me in this photo. As expected, skiing the trail back to the parking lot proved to be exciting as we avoided trees (sometimes) or falling into Silver Star creek. Gear Notes: Ski crampons, ax. Brought harnesses & rope (not used). Shovel/ probe/ beacon are always mandatory. Approach Notes: skinned all the way up from the road cut out. The general store in Newhalem is closed, horrible coffee in Marblemount & Darrington.
  8. riiiiight, Let's come back to this thread 5 or 10 years later and see the results.
  9. That's coo I'm suprised at how much growth Dayton has had as a town. At any rate, fish on! Alpental is reopening Sat. Sunday I will be pulling one of you bastards off my Mom.
  10. JZR- It licenses as a motorcycle because it has 3 wheels and the engine of a 500cc Honda.
  11. Hilary has offered to take Obama as her VP, but Obama having Hilary as a VP would be a liability. We would see a McCain /Clinton ticket before Obama / Clinton.
  12. Amar, Thanks for sharing here at cc.com as well. Read this on TAY yesterday and was enthralled. At the risk of sounding redundant, way to maintain your composure and not have the fear overtake your decision making process. Some people, myself included, would be embarassed to share this experience in the detail you have, but the readers can learn from it. I know you and Hannah did! Ditto on Sirwoofalot's gesture. You can get a free drink from me anytime.
  13. There is no such thing as a stupid question.... The local grocery store that is listed in the Frenchman's guidebook doesn't carry the permits/ passes anymore. I had to go to True Value in Quincey a couple years ago. Last year, just bought the fishing parking pass at Joes (formerly GI Joes) before i headed out there. Although I have never seen anyone get a ticket.
  14. roped on the Spearhead? umm, yeah The quote was from the article, not me. I don't believe there are hard fast rules that say you should be roped up, just because you are on a glacier. Or that traveling roped up would hinder your movement so much that it is not essential.
  15. Yeah it took long enough, 8 years. Thanks to a senator in Oklahoma, who lost his seat in the last election.
  16. Even McGovern (former Clinton, now Obama supporter) has publicly asked her to withdraw. But they are moving on to West Virginia. Wahoo! West Virginia!
  17. "It's nice to do a good-ending story. It's prime time to go ski touring, but the people who are doing it need to know the basic rules. The basic mountaineering rule is that whenever you are on a glacier, you should be roped together."
  18. Yeah Underworld, in your same article. "However, the Myanmar military, which regularly accuses the United States of trying to subvert its rule, was unlikely to accept U.S. military presence in its territory. "
  19. BD Rage has a simmilar design as the Alp wing, but heavier. Like the Alp wing, it has been discontinued. Aztars are a good bet.
  20. True, it is an unfortunate event for these people. The death toll is alarming and compassionate people or countries could offer assistance. Except we won't for political reasons and Myanmar's gross offenses against human rights. We have an embargo in place against them. http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/35910.htm
  21. I would be curious to see how much "protection" they offer federal whistle blowers. Does this office "take care" the people who dish out the goverment's dirty laundry? Or is it only Monica's or the Spitzer girls' laundry that we care about anymore?
  22. Speaking of ski stuff. I went in Friday and found the last Covert 32L Avalung retail $200, on sale for $100. A covert w/o the avalung is $110. Score! G3 skins are on sale. Close to 30% off.
  23. Sunday was the day to be up there for sure. Get up there soon before more snow melts on the trail or you will be dodging more than trees on the descent. Bad ass TR Skykilo!
