Gustavs is alright, but it used to be so much more back before they remodled it. I remember one fine night when a bunch of us were all sitting around a big table when one of our fine posters insisted that I share some pills that were in my first aid kit. His one question was, "how many of these should I take?" I told him if you take 2 and drink a bunch of beer you're going to be fucked up. He went with that plan. At the bar he started trying to talk, but I was the only person who could understand what he was saying. I became his translater. At some point he told me, "I'm going to go bivi." As he tried to walk out I could see he was going to get run down crossing hwy 2. I said goodnight and grabbed him by his jacket and led him out of the bar with a whole croud watching. Eventually we got to our camp site and I got out of the pickup and started getting stuff together at the back of the truck. Eventually I heard his door open and then a thump. He was passed out face down in the grass. I talked him into getting into his sleeping bag then he passed out. At about 3AM he woke up and yelled, "hey Feck, I don't remember anything from last night. I told him, "That's a good thing." Crazy times

I like to hear what he thinks; at least so I can know what the enemy is thinking.

That's some impressive climbing.

When I was a teen I used to be way into skiing bumps. I thought it was the best test of skill. More recently my interest in bump skiing has gone downhill. I'd rather seek out stuff at the areas that will help me improve techniques I need for backcountry skiing. Bump skiing is a specialty sport you need to focus on if that's your thing.

We delete as we see fit. Sometimes for a real reason and other times just because we can.

You've gotta buy more than one. Go to Chain Saws Plus out in Kenmore once a month and they'll hook you up.

I've got the new Stihl calander. I'm pretty sure its full of G rated material. I'd post some photos if they were online, but I don't think they are. Like a lot of industrial equipment sellers these kind of photos are pretty common. I get mine from a chain saw seller; he hands them out to frequent buyers. I know I've seen plenty of calanders like this at a bunch of shops since I was a kid. Obviously they're trying to sell a piece of equipment, and they figure if they can show it off with an good looking model it will boost sales at least for guys. I like my Stihl calander. The women are good looking, but it's totally obvious that no woman or guy would ever opperate a chain saw dressed in a bikini. I guess I don't take them too seriously, and just enjoy them for a laugh.

The only Ayatolla I respect is the Ayatolla of rock and rolla. Seriously F I think you want to drop a big fatty bomb on someone in the middle east. The fact is there are a lot of countries out there that are worthy of hate, but despite that the only option that makes any kind of sense is to negotiate with them and more importantly get the backing and help of other countries that are our allies. After all we are a super power, but we aren't the only fish in the pond.

I think it makes a funny picture. As an avatar it may be over the top

I think I'll listen to Twang Bar King next.

Ya know I finally hooked up my record player. Even before I hurt myself it had just been sitting there, and for some reason I was always too lazy to hook it up. Those days are over. Right now Adrian Belew is cranking out Lone Rhino. Yeah I suck, but it's a good day

Come on F, when should we start WW4?

Our government; they just want to have a good time. It's only incidental that it's a twisted good time.

I just need to get my turntable fixed up and then Mike will be jamming. Yes I am a freak. I've got a whole batch of freaky records.

Sounds fun. I bet I could do that if you can do the ascent without crampons.

I get the impression that F will be unhappy until the US declairs WW4 against a whole slew of countries including Syria and Iran. Why try and talk to people when we can nuke them till they glow.

I've got a Mike Oldfield double album with a bunch of stuff including music from the Exorcist.

I've got K2 Shuksans, and Dynafit bindings. I don't have the mega rides, but I love my set up. Yours sounds good. I've heard good things about Garmont boots.

The tows I'm talking about go 20 mph up some steep hills. You could never let go or the person behind you would plow you down.
