Never happened before. Got a lot of mileage on my gear, only the rope was new.

Last Saturday at Feathers I used my brand new dry-treated rope for the first time. At the end of the day, my hands had a rubbed-in dark gray color. It was hard to wash off. The color reminded me of pencil graphite or metallic lead rubbed on a piece of paper, that sort of dull gray. Could it be from the dry treatment? Or maybe the gray color a characteristic of the rock at Vantage? That was my first time there.

My weightlifting coach teaches that, because you need to 'block' or do the Valsalva maneuver when lifting heavy, a grunt represents a release of pressure. This reduces the rigidity or strength of the block, weakening the lift and removing some of the core support the maneuver gives you. I doubt that that applies to grunting during a hard move on rock, though, because the core rigidity the Valslava gives you would restrict the ability to move on rock.

How izzit that you're aware of Malibu court operations?

Is that for our goat thread? Doesn't anyone want to talk about goats some more? Or farm animals in general?---chickens maybe? Anyone?

Factual mid-course correction 4U: most 'em do piece work.

From what I have read of the Dolomites, you left heaven to climb in hell.

Sorry Cap'n.

Last night: warmup (after initial BS) run a 440 while carrying a 20 lb. medicine ball, then deadlifts to a 5 RM. Workout: sprint 440 20 24kg kettlebell SDHP 20 pullups sprint 440 20 24kg kettlebell swings 20 V-ups sprint 440 20 24kg kettlebell deadlifts 20 pushups Some did it in under 10 minutes, one guy broke 9 minutes. My time was somewhat greater.

Maybe you're right but I have a memory-fragment of a composer by that same name from the early Baroque period, early 17th century.

Absolutely impossible. If there was ever a Nurmemberg mindset, it's in the Air Farce officer corps. If they were told to not just take the nukes to the mideast but drop them on Mecca too, they would do it immediately and without question. The idea that the Air Farce was given an order but high-ranking officers decided to confound it is ridiculous. There is no greater lockstep mentality in any of the services but the AF.

No. The first lived in the 'way back before photography, something like the 16th or 17th century.

Trivia. Steve Miller went to my hoity-toity private high school in Dallas. He was classmates with Boz Scaggs. Scaggs was expelled but Miller graduated. Tommy Lee Jones also went to the same school.

We went over that stuff in class but I can’t remember and am not motivated to pull out my notes and find the info. However, the small farmers that do this are True Believers so if you contacted one of them, they would tell you far more than you want to know. I can tell you this, though, it’s partly a function of time. Just as ten bulldozers will do a job faster than one, a small herd will take longer than a larger one. The goat owner has many things to do with the animals so they have to balance their schedule too. If your job is big, they will leave the herd for a while, pick it up, then bring it back later to finish. Same with the pig crew if you need the roots taken out in addition to just clearing the vegetation. If you want to own goats for other reasons (meat, milk) and use them additionally to clear land, start small, just a couple. But you should own them in multiples because they are herd animals like cows and do not do well alone. Check out the WSU Small Farms Program website. You might find some leads. Don’t forget your county agent---great resource. Especially in western Washington the agents are hip to all the small farming operations including the goat and pig land-clearing operators.

So by that same logic bulimics and anorexics should receive free care? No, I think the logic is that if you are unhealthy in any way, you don't get insurance. Insurance is permitted only for people who don't need it. It would please big business immenseley to enact this change.

Switched from the deep-fried Twinkies? Used low-fat oil? Zone Diet, sort of. Lay on the daily cod liver oil. Hardest was giving up peanut butter. Also, zero alcohol. But, 70% cocoa chocolate is A-OK, so there's an upside.

No, just plain old livestock paddocks.

About 1 out of every 3 CF warmups---the warmup, mind you---is so hard I am sure it is harder than some people's workout. Sometimes we run 10 easy 1/2 or 3/4 speed 50 yard sprints uphill including all the other warmup crap. A warmup! THEN the workout, like: 15 squats, 10 pushups, 5 pullups every 60 seconds for 30 minutes. Or, 5 880s with each run separated by 25 burpees and a 1 RM deadlift. Or 100 24kg kettlebell swings and 100 pullups. A couple weeks ago a woman did the last workout with us then got on her bicycle to ride home from Ballard to West Seattle. Coach said without irony, 'hey that's a nice cooldown.'

In January 2005 I was 25 lbs. heavier and my BP was 190/100. I changed my choices. The beer & Twinkies diet was simply NOT WORKING anymore.

I still kicked your ass up to camp muir. OK, OK...but if we ran 880s...

BP 110/55, resting pulse 43: Cross Fit and I'm a LOT older than almost anyone on this board
