  1. Some of just put a few more dollars in the pokies and hope for the best. A rather similar strategy... I don't believe, on average, the US market has the same prevelence of rental/investment properties held by small investors or level of consumer debt, but I wouldn't be surprised if their market weren't very similar to the overheated coastal states. A 1000 sqft townhome runs about $800k US in Sydney nowadays, and their condo market looks like ours. Home prices have stabilized and may be poised for growth. Hopefully we shall be so lucky.
  2. Lessons can be learned down under (Sydney down 10% from the peak 2 years ago). Has put a hurt on quite a few people.
  3. Battery life is more than adequate on mine so far without the upgrade (no need to search more than 15-20 minutes...)
  4. skiing in colorado is a smidgen of powder over rocks with texans

    Unless someone swiped my password I haven't posted any hybrid car thread - I haven't posted here in a week and a half, I was off wandering the antipodes. I like my cars cheap and reliable and to spend money on much more interesting things like surfing, skiing, climbing and travel.

    Cobra Commander doesn't post as often .....
  9. MSR, they'll ship you spares for cheap/free - they have for my Pocket Rocket and Whisperlite. Of course then you don't have to beat away the helpful elves at the "green" giant.

    Amen!

    Hmm, not what I checked in the polls as canidate strengths and reasons for voting. Guess there's another clueless Dick around
  11. Drastically changed They aren't that stiff, they aren't that fat, and they are damn fun out back of beyond. At least mine are. iain's right they are made by atomic - but less of the good bits than the rest of the atomic line. They ain't no Big Daddy. I had Freerides on the 'bows, now dynafits, and ski them with Lasers. The 187cm are a bit too much ski for the boot at high speed but still fun.
  12. In womb onanism?
  13. Only Scotland is missing from my worldtour of sheep molestation hotbeds
  14. Wools already over your eyes, eh?
  15. Harry uses the metric system
  16. You have to have an IQ over room temperature so I can see your difficulty. The connection was what does climbing bring us that work doesn't. Why do we climb?
  17. Spoken like a Catholic!
  18. Did she the first time?
  19. I've met people who do experience "flow" in work and find their jobs generally a pleasure. Unfortunately I'm not one of those people. And Ireneo - when did you move to the largest slaughterhouse in the Southern Hemisphere?
  20. Cloudveil Switchback. A near clone of my beloved Guide Pants (althought it'd be nice if they did away with the internal belt, added zip cuffs, and had a bigger thigh pocket)
  21. You don't have to do bullshit hallmark holiday moments to spend quality time with family.
  22. I'm pleased with mine.
  23. Barryvox is a brand. The Barryvox Opto3000 is a model. Barryvox also makes the Barryvox VS2000, a pro model analog beacon as well as older/other models. The Burton Red 457 beacon is a barryvox in blue plastic. Globalmart.com had Pieps DSP for $275 earlier this year; it appears no longer active.
