WHAT THE FUCK! Where are you getting this? I've lived in Redmond my whole life there's no way in hell I'm paying a fee to park there.

You know you've been running a board long when you have everyones IP addresses memorized.

Hey check it out folks. All we are asking is to keep the spray out of the route reports, and places like newbies. We have dedicated a whole forum, called "spray", for you to talk about whatever you want almost completely unhindered (within reason). You can cry foul but let me assure you that I am accomodating you much more then I would like. Which leads into my second point. Matt has taken the time to discuss with you how the route report should be moderated. A few of you thinking you speak for the majority have said how you feel. Matt is a nice guy and has responded to all of you criticisms. Myself, I am not a nice guy. I may seem nice in person, but I'm not. You can cry foul, you can call me names, you can tell me how much this website sucks. But guess what? I don't give a shit. If you don't like how we do things here I'm presenting an incredible option for you. Go find another website. There are plenty others out there, I'm sure they'd be more then happy to see you. We aren't asking anything absurd here, it's quite simple, please refrain from spraying in the route reporting section, if you do, you'll find your post gone. Pretty simple.

Looks like we are missing a few icons. And old PMs are gone. We'll try to get that fixed on Tuesday.

That is an awesome idea with the tele turn thing, I'll have try that out. So what do snowboarders do then, fall on their ass? I'm not sure about the cut off fins, I think they are just for strengthening your kick. If you are intersted in the upper body thing get some paddles, I've gained a lot of muscle in my arms, shoulders, and lats using these things and I've noticed increase power and stamina just putzing around in the climbing gym.

I'm not sure if you are theoretically allowed to run stairs in the stadium but getting in is usually no problem. You can go to the east end of the stadium by the parking lot and usually the fence is open, if not try entering on the other side by the indoor practice facility. If none of that works you can enter through Hec Ed and go through the tunnel, just don't wear a Cougar sweatsuit!

Moved to Access Issues Sisu. Nice fly fishing site btw, never seen that before. Unfortunately we will see more fees like this, more state parks are adding fees and more are closing completely. Pretty stupid to have to pay park in the dirt with no facilities a la Vantage. Unfortunately for fishers and climbers et. al., groups that aren't huge money makers like snowmobiling and RV Camper, we just don't have the lobbying power because we don't have the money. I'd rather see the Access Fund join the likes of the Sierra Club and other conservation groups with lobby power. I'd rather lose easy access then see more snowmobiles and dirt bikes. It's not clear to me though exactly what the motorized outdoor groups agenda is. Are they trying to get rid of fees or are they trying bring their facilities deeper in the forest and wilderness?

I'm going to say it, you guys suck. Look at the first post in this thread. Look how much time and thought Matt put into his post. In my mind he surely doesn't have to justify what he did, let alone tell people that he was the one who did it. Yet after getting bashed he still comes out asking for your opinion. And just like you do on every other fucking thread on this board you spew your stupid shit. You guys are on my fucking shit list. Beware.

Dru at one point you had more stars then me. I'm an asshole that's why Gaper T has more stars.

I don't really care to get in this arguement, but I will say this. There are people here who I consider friends. Sometimes they post stuff that is really insulting and/or doesn't belong here. It puts me in a tough spot. I know there are others that are in the same shoes. Problem is that you have no idea who erased your stuff, you can make assumptions from the who's online but you really don't know, and just because one person did doesn't mean someone else wouldn't do the same thing. You also don't know about other people's posts being erased unless you see it done or they tell you. Basically don't get too bent out of shape. End of facts.

I'll help you out here. Go to the garage, grab your Skil saw and a power drill. Take the bindings off. Place the board on two saw horses lengthwise. Now using the Skil saw cut the board length wise. Now take the bindings and mount one on each length of the board, close to center. No more problems.

Finally got this POS Photo Gallery working, thumbnails and all. Ch ch ch checkit! http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/index.php

Our webhost decided to move our account which screwed things up.

Is it possible to make drinking this fucking difficult? Sometimes good bars suck. Sometimes bad bars are cool. Sometimes things just suck and you have to make the best of it. I've been to the Blue Star before it was lame, so don't go back. Search out new places, talk to an employee beforehand and see if they can accomedate you.

You should check out cascadeswimmers.com for more swimming information. Seriously though when you get the whole balance thing down, you will have to kick very little. Less kick equals less work. Swimming fast and far is all about being as efficient as possible. Concentrate on your technique right now until your muscles adapt to swimming lots of laps. Here are my tips for new swimmers. 1. Check out "Fishlike Freestyle" from the library. Watch it and do the drills. It will make you much better. If you have to get some lessons. 2. Ditch the big bathing suite, way too much drag and makes swimming hard. Buy a speedo and a drag suite to go over it if you aren't confortable walking around in your underware. 3. Do intervals! Build up as time goes on, more reps, more sets, harder effort. 4. After a month start going for longer continous swims, find a stroke that is a good rest for you (I like resting with breast stroke), and just keep swimming until you are really fucking tired. 5. Be patient. It takes a while for your upper body adapt, getting confortable breathing and getting water up your nose. I was never a competative swimmer, in fact a year ago I had to take some lesson because I just bashed the water and didn't go anywhere. I originally started swimming to rehab my back but I found out the benefits of swimming. Increased cardio capacity, increased endurance in my arms and shoulders. IMHO I think for rock or ice climbers it might be more advantageous then lifting weights.

Viagra and horsecock can work miracles. Happy Birthday Fred!

Ditch the kickboard, it's pointless, if you want to work your legs do your kicking during balancing drills. Go to the library and check out a video called "Fishlike Freestyle". Do those drills for at least half your work out until you get your balance down, at which point you will no longer need to kick.

Saturday morning was pretty damned nice, from Bellevue head out to Kenmore down do Woodville to Snohomish, did some hills in Woodville Duvall area and then headed home. Nice low traffic areas in Duvall with some sustaining hills. Dan I'm sure I'll run into one of these mornings.
