Well I would stop if my opponent had a gun and I didn't, but there are a lot of crazy people out there.

Hmm. Even when you have the gun if somebody charges you it's pretty likely that you may be scared.

My own recent experience with hospital stays is they suck. Hang in there Porter.

He might have been shooting for the chest and the dudes hand got in the way.

I think I sat through a lecture from either a cop or an FBI guy while I was in school. Somebody ask about shooting the criminal in the hand. The cop/FBI guy told us that that was never done. If you take aim at somebody you always aim for the center of the body. If they shoot somebody in the hand it's only by luck.

Can the party be in June

I know a thing or two about porkies in the bugs. We didn't have any protection the first time I was there. On our return we started to drive out of there till my truck started to spew water. Porky has chewed through a radiator hose on my rig. I walked to the lodge there where they were guiding heli hiking. One of the guides let us borrow his rig. I drove to Radium and bought some new radiator hoses. We thanked the guy and fixed our truck.

It's been a long time since I was there, but there was plenty of spare chickenwire at the parking lot when I was there.

It looks cool and all, but around here you aren't going to make it very far on solar power.

Suppose you have hiked 10 miles. You are a 60 year old man and you are tired. You are wearing a pack, so you can't run. A man is running at full speed towards you screaming, "I'm going to fucking KILL YOU". His fists are raised. You have a gun in your hands. You have already shown the man that you have a gun. He's still coming, not slowing down. He says he's going to kill you. You can't believe he doesn't stop. You can't run. If he reaches you, he might kill you with your own gun. What do you do? I have a hard time believing that an unarmed man would charge somebody with a gun. I suppose if he still did charge the only conclusion you could draw is that he was armed. As far as I go I have no gun, and I never intend to buy one. I might go to a shooting range and rent one though. If I was attacked I'd try and defend myself with my hands; not that would do any good vs somebody with a gun. So far I've never been in any situation where I questioned my safety.

It seems to me if you had a gun you could pull it aim it at the dog and scream at the owner, "call your dog off." Obviously you're threatening to shoot the dog. Shooting the owner is totally wrong unless the owner has his own weapon he's threatening you with.

I find myself going through some weight problems. Before I hurt myself I wasn't in super shape, but I could climb most things I wanted to. Now I'm trying to at least get back to where I was if not in better shape. My main problem is when I was climbing trees for work diet was never anything I ever thought about. Now-a-days my pants are kind of tight and my scale weight has gone up; I have seemed to have dropped a bit of fat percent, but it's still higher than I want it. Exercise for me consists of strength training my physical therapist gave me. I have added in some pushups and sit-ups. I am getting better since I have mostly advanced from pushups from the knees to the regular kind (at least mostly). After that I go for walks. The highlight there is a set of stairs coming up from a lower street back to my neighborhood. I used to do 2 laps of this longer walk, but I got board with repeating the total distance, so now I just do several laps of stairs and only one long lap. Can anyone suggest some additional exercises I should add to all this. Obviously due to my injury I can't do anything too crazy; for example I tried a pull-ups but that's not going to happen for a while. Jen's thread got me thinking about my situation

Amber is hot. 8D

Last night was good, and hopefully there will be more fun in April. PS watch out for the double headed monster.

Kev, Arch may be sick of you fairly or unfairly, but you're because she wont listen to you

Here are some of my old photos Old photo of the hill at the Meany Ski Hill Backcountry trip I did with my dad up Cedar Creek on Silver Star

Yeah, it was nice to see everybody.

Last year I was way into burning trees, but this year it's been oil.

In my view global warming is a real problem. I agree that it doesn't look like the 50% mark is correct, but if it's only 15% to 30% it's still making an impact that will affect us. Even if you still don't buy global warming getting off oil will still be good for us. Finding a product that produces energy but doesn't require us to tank a ton of product from the middle east to us has to be good for the US.

It looks like a cool way to work with photos and other stuff

Damn I didn't see this till just now. Hey Porter I'm glad you're doing better. I'm sorry to hear you are in the hospital. I'm sure they're treating you well, but being in the hospital sucks. Hang in there buddy. I hope to see you soon, or at least read some good spray from you. you

The main thing I remember from school about Pascal is it's the main computer language I'd write programs in. Not that I ever did anything with that knoledge.

You missed the part where I agreed that it was a cool sport. I did watch it again.
