I don't know if they work on Toyotas but give Hillside Imports a call. They advertise as a VW and Audi shop.

BMW bike with an Aprilla engine Had one. Wasnt impressed. Nice bike. I've got a dakar.

12 guage with a pistol grip. Even aborigines who never heard a round chambered in their life will stop cold when you work the action on a shotgun. Alternate between slugs and shot. No need for aim--just point in the general direction. Won't blast the neighbors either and the blast itself should scare the bejesus out of whoever you use it against.

You, JayB, aren't qualified to comment here. But your statement is so incredibly stupid, I feel obligated to remind you that never in any of my posts (including this one) will you find me stating that climbing ability carries weight in ethical debates. Yet the number of times wankers on this site have stated that we should defer to hang-dogging 5.13 climbers regarding the legitimacy of sport climbing is......"greater than zero". This beer-induced, late-night post was simply a reaction to the notion that pope's peers are convicting him. Again, I ask, "What peers?" BTW, the summer I soloed 30 pitches before lunch (up to 5.10c at Castle Rock, Snow Creek Wall and Givler's Dome) was not twenty years ago (more like 12). Regardless, these climbers you mention who are superior to pope.....you ain't among them. Not today, not twenty years ago (if you were even out of diapers). I can out-climb you on your best day and I could out-drink you right now. Yes, but climbing is but one measure of a man, and I have no doubt life provides you with no small number of rather stark reminders of this fact rather more often than you'd like. Priceless

Yes--its family friendly. Why? Is "The Source" a Barney cover band?

A sore back could also be a sign that your man-boobs are too big.

If this is directed to me, the answer is no, sorry. Call up Jim at the Muddy Rudder (SE 7th & Tacoma--about 6 blocks west of the Sellwood Public House). Its a new pub and he is looking for local talent to play on Wed-Sat. Its a cool place and most of the folks in the neighborhood I know are MUCH more likely to go there than SPH.

yeah--when monte amundsen plays there.

Eat before you go there. Worst. Pizza. Ever.

Terminal Gravity IPA

I've got one you can have as well.

You're going to Aconcagua and you think a road to the hut on Chimbo is "defilement"?

Good advice save for the last comment. British Airways recently installed a new baggage handling system at Gatwick and proceded to misplace/lose over 10,000 pieces of luggage. Three weeks later, my bag still has not been located. They provide replacement coverage for up to $1200 and have an allowance for replacing items during your trip until your bag is recovered. Almost all airlines offer credit cards where you can earn mileage awards--AMEX does as well. Cashing in those miles can be challenging.

+1. Thanks for the recommendation JayB.

I might be interested in selling it.

97 passat tdi wagon here.

one of the best shows i ever saw was: pearl jam nirvana red hot chillie peppers salem armery 19$ 1991 eddie vedder stepped on my face, i thought he broke my nose. I was at that show also. Pretty good show. God I am old.

FYI I did not say he did. The "Wallowas" are a big place. Whether Benthos is encompassed in that or not is arguable.

"Twin peaks is the only technical summit in the Wallowas". Wow, I had no idea. I guess that 5.10d that Steve House put up is a serious sandbag.

Russ did me well with a haul bag I needed for my first Alaska trip and when I emailed him about a wear spot in the bag he replaced the panel in question gratis. Its been going strong on several trips over the years. This is Fish Gear we're talking about here--not Walmart. Russ makes great products (I still regularly use my 40oz beer cozy with faux-alligator hide and handles for when I get pumped) and I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again. He participates in the community, provides excellent beta, and supports various events. He's a small business.

Smart man. You won't be sorry.

I have the etrex vista black and white (pre-color) and its ok. For backcountry usage it shines and I've never had a problem but for on-board navigation (car, motorcycle, etc) its just too small. Drop the coin and get the better GPS unless you are super anal about weight. In that case, you can buy mine--preloaded with city navigator. ;-) Another thing, save some coin and buy refurbished from a reputable dealer like edgegps.com. A bunch of my enduro-riding friends have bought refurbished GPS from them for cheap (streetpilot 2720 is only 375!) and had great results. Comes with a year warranty just like the new units.

Did Muffy just say "ostentatious"? Did DeChristo get ahold of Muffy's password?

As I understand it, they don't have to impose any enforcement requirements on it right now. The agency responsible for it, i.e. Forest Service, can implement enforcement penalties when it gets to them. That is, if its passed into law, the Forest Service can decide what penalties to impose. Remember, there is currently a law in place requiring climbers to carry EITHER a cell phone or an MLU otherwise they are responsible for up to $500 of any rescue costs. Can anyone name a case where someone was penalized under the current law? That being said, I'm with John. I am against this bill, I have written the legislature complaining about it, and I'd love to see someone thank Matty and crew tonight for his seemingly endless self-promotion at adding fuel to the fire.
