Those are some nice pieces, there Alpinfox. Is it just me, or does the one in the middle look much, much bigger than all the others?

Damn alpine stalkers. There goes the neighborhood.

Right on, Chirp! That boy sure looks like he found the right home. Those knee surgeries are spendy and a bugger to rehab. One of our dogs has had TWO of them(we reckon we should be able to drive her around town for the amount of $$ those knees have sucked out of our wallets ) and she still jumps the fence.

She did mention something about there being stalkers out there.

Why enter a contest you can't win. Nobody can measure up to Bill's rack. Game over, folks.

That's awesome, Rob! Thanks for sharing that perspective and experience. Looks like that brainwashing you had at the Hilton really paid off. You make excellent suggestions about what items make the best donations, especially pointing out that even the needy can only use so many cans of beans. When I was little, we used to get SO many dented cans of beets or Popeye spinach in our food bank box. Funny(but sad) thing is, I think we actually ended up giving those BACK to the food bank when we made donations. I try to remember that now...and make donations from what I keep in the front of the cupboard, not fishing around in the back for what nobody wanted to eat.

Wayyyy cool! However I see that very few women want to actually fondle my stuff. Yes, I see your dilemma. But when you show it all at once like that, it could be hard to know where to start.

OMG Bill!!! Honey, with all that, I don't care HOW you use it. I just want to look at it for awhile....

Kelly is on the board of a local dog rescue org., so these types of efforts are close to our hearts. From the get-go, Best Friends has been a model of how to do it right. I understand how Rebecca feels--the experience of going there to volunteer is like a pilgrimage for folks who support them. Definitely something to do at least once in a lifetime. The set-up of the Elephant Sanctuary is less conducive to hands-on volunteering--they actually discourage that sort of interaction because most of these elephants have spent their entire lives as "entertainment for humans" in circuses and zoos and the sanctuary's mission is to provide a place for them to be elephants again. Frolicking around a big farm in Tennessee is a far cry from living among their herds in their homelands, but it's a start.

And they leave the light on for ya.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours. Don't be shy, I promise I won't laugh. ( )

Good point.

Great minds(and big hearts) must think alike, Sobo. Best Friends Animal Sanctuary has been one of my fave causes for years. A good friend of ours has gone down there to volunteer a few times and comes home with wonderful stories(and nearly with a new dog or two each time, so probably best that she hasn't been to the elephant sanctuary ).

I believe the Yates Rocker patent was purchased by Singing Rock, and the device is now being sold as the Singing Rock "Locker". I got mine here: Patroller Supply

For the booty. And the gear I find.

Those were all new to me. Thanks for the laugh.

Great pics, Porter! Makes me look forward to getting back out there soon! More pics and route beta here: Olympic Peninsula Rock Climbing Hope to see you around sometime.

It is groovy. Don't miss out on the chance to rope up with Old 5.9 if you get over here. He knows the place well.

I know folks that climb there year round, rain, shine or snow.(I'm not much for the cold and wet or I'd be out there myself since it's so close--fun place to train in summer though ) Wouldn't surprise me if someone's not out there pulling on something today, as a matter of fact. PM the user "old5.9" and I'm sure he'll be happy to swap belays with you.

What is happening right now? Dood, I'm on cc.com. What am I doing? Spraying. What am I feeling? A little gassy What am I thinking? I hope that's just gas. What am I trying to achieve right now? I'll answer that one later. What am I doing that may be stopping me from getting what I want? If I knew what I wanted, why would I be doing something to stop myself from getting it? Stop asking dumb questions. What can I choose to do differently that will help me get what I want? I choose not to answer this question. What is contributing to my success that I need to keep doing or do more of? See answer to first question right now .

Thanks for the Index stokey! Makes me wish spring would come FAST.

You can put a dirtbag in a nice Hilton, but he's still going to steal the toilet paper.

Might be worth checking out this thread by lancegranite and shooting him a PM. Good luck!

That was quick.

Underwear are aid.
