I thought the slog from KIA to 10,500 to be incredibly boring. Sure the scenery is spectacular but that doesn't make up for the monotony of pulling a sled for miles. From that point on I was in a continual state of awe though. I could not imagine doing it without skis. Ugh. I took Don Delilo's Underworld when I went. I finished it at the 14K camp and had one hell of a time unloading that massive tome. That shaved a good 20 pounds off my load.

It happened at Beacon Rock. While you and I may respect birds, not everyone does.

Several people I know have shown up for the daily lottery and always gotten their permits.

Nice TR. Got pics?

Reasonable doubt for a reasonable fee.

Spent the weekend at the beach sitting outside and reading a great book, eating and drinking too much.

The backstage area in the Bagdad Theatre has some interesting exploration opportunities. Or at least did.

Daht song eez shtoopid und preetenshuss. We dahns now!

According to my source, one of the emlpoyees was climbing unroped and cratered, breaking a few bones. I'm sure he is wishing he had been molested by MILFs.

The worst was my Bontrager Race mountain bike that I had saved up for quite a while to purchase. I was in college and scraping up the dough (something like 1500 at the time) was tough. I had it less than a year.

She needs the lawn mowed.

Eric was watching you piss.

bacon!

I've had three bikes stolen. Totally sucks. Sorry to hear of your loss.

It means I got wood looking at those pics of the big rock. No slur was intended against you nor any criticisms towards yourself or Mr. Schneider.

A great route to practice clean aid is the west face of monkey face. There's even a bolt ladder on one of the pitches. You'll get plenty of opportunities to place a bunch of different gear, get a system dialed and I seem to recall I used a hook for a couple moves just below the cave. Just the sight of a hammer can draw some ire so be careful. Hooks can scar the rock but if you are careful you can avoid this. I love hooks!

In Oregon, the only time its legal to use deadly force is when you are IN IMMINENT FEAR OF BODILY HARM. I had a long discussion with an off-duty cop about this one time at a bar. I imagine the situation is similar in Washington. One time whilst living in NW Portland I awoke to a woman screaming "Help me" outside my window. I jumped out of bed and ran outside, squinting across the street (I was nearsighted but LASIK corrected this) and saw a guy dragging this woman down the street in a hammerlock. I ran back inside my apartment grabbed my gun and ran back outside. I was in the middle of the street, about 40 feet away from this couple when I shouted "Let her go" and chambered a round in my 9mm. His hands went in the air and the woman took off running down the street. The guy yelled "whoa dude, she's my girlfriend." At this point I realized I still had not grabbed my glasses and was squinting at his blurry figure. I also realized there was about 10 other people standing around watching me pointing a gun at this loser. I decided it was time for me to go back inside. Sucks being inside on such a nice day.

There was some recent discussion of conditions on ttips.

I had an article published there a few years ago. I should dig it up and post it.

The Oregonian reported that a biodiesel plant was being built in North Portland.

Nice write-up Jay. Gonna miss ya.

Some of us don't care to increase the amount of spam we receive. Thanks for posting the article Chris. Interesting.
