We climbed Clean Breaks last week. There was some snow on ledges up high, but otherwise it was good. My camera was broke and I'm lazy so no TR for Ken.

If it ain't Dokken you ain't rockin.

It's pink devil duck day

SO FUCKING WHAT

I only climb for all the hot goat sex. bc skiing is for polar bear love.

exactly

Chuck Chuck Chuck. Don't you think letting me across the boarder without a custom stop is a much more important foriegn policy issue. I'll even let you in on the deal if they come to their senses.

Canada needs to let me and my friends cross the boarder whenever we want without stopping at customs.

Sounds like a gay old time.

Many try, few live.

There are a lot of folks who swear up and down that they hate cc and would never post there while in secret they post all the time.

My left (dominant) shoulder has been bugging me for over a year. More or less a low grade pain. I've been trying to either ignore it or do some exercises with rubber bands to build up some of the small muscles in the area. It isn't getting worse, but it isn't getting better. I'll kick the ass of the first office worker who tells me I need to rest it; that isn't an option.

Conservatives talk a lot about reducing the size of government by cutting off the funding (taxes). I'm not prepaired to argue whether this is a good idea or not, but it is quite easy to get politicians to vote for tax cuts but very hard to get them to reduce spending especially if it's a project that benefits their constituents. It doesn't matter if they're liberal or conservative if money's coming to their district they love it.

I have less folks calling me to do tree work this year than last. That's all I know.

The increase in spending is mostly due to the Neo-Con agenda that the Bush admin has not Suply Side bs.

Well I only ever took the basic econ class in college, so I don't know what the opposite of suply side is. What I do know is if you spend more than you make then you go broke and then bad shit happens. I find it very hard to believe that just because the US economy is vastly larger than my economy that this rule doesn't apply. GW has cut taxes and increased spending. The deficit is gigantic now. Eventually we're going to have to pay, and it ain't going to be pretty.

Animal Sex Tourism is a big boost to the economy.

I'd agree with all of the above. CO is great for rock and ice climbing, but if you're into more than that then WA rules. I grew up in Western Washington and I spent 3 years around Boulder. I like it here better; I should also say that I gave myself a $7/hr pay raise just by moving back here.

Maybe if you ask nicely Gary will wear his blue outfit; and maybe just maybe you'll get to bivi with him on GNS.

I took that test, and it said the one thing I have going against me is my gender. Maybe it's time to change my sex.

Woodchips are to beauty bark as corn is to corn syrup. Just because you have enough money to hire a gay landscape architurkey doesn't mean you know anything about gardening or landscape. I've seen thousands of landscapes, and even if I don't have time for mine I know what looks good and works with the environment. Why not plant some Scotch Broom.

Giant Hogweed is an invasive non native species. You suck for propagating something like that. Asian Longhorn beetles are cool looking insects; maybe you should have some shipped to your house. Then you can dump some zebra muscles into Puget Sound...idiot

What does this statement mean? Obviously you have a long day for climbing. There are a lot of Trad climbs you could do in a day.

You're telling us you respected Mike. That's crazy talk.

I spent my 42nd Birthday in the Pickets in the rain. We did drink little airplane bottles of booze at 7AM though. Not that I'm that smart, but we did smarten up and hike out and drive to Mazama later that day. I got home at 2AM today, and believe me I feel old right now.
