I love my Klipsch. I've tried Bose, Polk, and Infinity (as well as a host of not as good) and enjoyed them; but nothing fits my music like Klipsch. I got a pair of Heresies not long after they came out. I wonder if Klipsch still makes them?

Sorry about the bit and leather harness thing.

Well, whatever else is going on I know that immediately after exertion the cells crave nutrition, so feeding them alcohol's empty calories can't be helpful. Your crash probably had something to do with the depressive effect of alcohol, though. Dilating vessels that were constricted, something like that. Why drink red wine? Just seemed to be the thing to do at the time?

You keep your head up looking out ahead of you---that instinctively keeps you standing up straight. For that it will also help the muscles that give you an upright posture.

Come to think of it, when I started almost 2 years ago I used 16kg and *that* was murder. Even now sometimes I carry only 20kg. I frikkin hate it when I get caught out. I swore I'd never be taken alive.

What say does your 3 year old have in being taken into the 24/7 hazards of a glaciated volcano? It's all about what you want, isn't it? At issue is your violation of the child's right be protected from hazards, not exposed to them. You started this thread. It's not about other adult's approach to mountaineering risk, it's about the risk to your 3 year old. You know nothing about climbing and only came onto this site hoping climbers would tell you it's OK to risk your son's life at an age when he is incapable of rationally accepting the risk. The question you ask: in one instance a child grows up without a father. In the other instance the child does not grow up because his father killed him through negligence. See the difference now?

Best to use something with a solid handle. See if you can get two dumbbells, like on Craigslist or on sale at Big 5. That way you keep your grip tight rather than letting a soft grip like webbing settle into the structure of the hand. You have to keep the grip tight which means you have to have something to grip. Webbing won't cut it. I can see webbing really screwing up your hands. Like I said, longer is NOT better. A mile with light weights accomplishes nothing particularly useful for your grip. Do it as Rx'ed in my post. 24kg/side (a bit more than 50 lbs.) over 400 yards really stresses out some very powerful athletes I work out with. It's tried and proven, and wicked effective.

As are all the birds. Goose, duck, turkey, pheasant, chicken------yum, especially chicken---they taste like dinosaur. How the mighty have fallen.

Farmer's walk. Works everything specific to the grip. Tremendously effective strengthener. Start with, say, 24kg in each hand and walk 400 meters total. Do not look down, look out towards your path: this will keep you standing up straight. Don't let your back round, keep your chest up and out. Longer is not better. Shoot for a 400 meter walk with a weight in each hand so heavy that you have to put it down 3 or 4 times before you are done. Do farmer's walk only every other day, no more. If you can cover 400 meters without having to put the weights down a few times, they're too light. When finished, your hands and forearms should feel totally spent/wasted/thrashed.

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris frequently donates blood to the Red Cross. Just never his own. If Chuck Norris is late, time better slow the hell down. Superman owns a pair of Chuck Norris pajamas. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. The only thing fear has to fear is Chuck Norris.

x^2/3 + y^2/3 = 1?

No, I wanted a mid-winter epic.

Hmm. I thought you could drive as far as Rainy Pass from the east side. After seeing your post, I went to the WashDot site and find that the gate is 'way east at MP 171, far from the passes. Plan is in the toilet, thread closed. Thanks for the links to the TRs.

I want to see some exit polls and know how the vote is trending. As Casey Stengel said, "the key to managing a baseball team is to keep the 9 guys who hate your guts separated from the 9 guys who haven't made up their mind."

I asked if it would be *completely* covered. Have you walked across it to Wing Lake? No? Then pipe down. And how does my inexpereince in winter here mean I don't "deserve" an answer?

You commit to show up for a meeting, don't show, and the next day make a totally lame post about "being busy, it's that time of year." When you made the commitment you knew what time of year it was going to be.

OK, OK, back to stem cells...even if it is spray.

the farming thing was yesterday

Awww, a cutegasm. Group hug, anyone?

Well, he won't be out any more than $20! bwahahaha

yes

Now give me the $20

When do I stop being a noob? If you were any sort of a climber you'd be able to answer my Black Peak-in-winter question in the N. Cascades TR section. I think you R a pozer.

I KNEW that's what you were going to write! You are SOOO predictable. Shouldn't you be out postholing?

If you don’t bicker, it’s not spray.
