I spend my time traversing our lovely retaining walls here in Portland. Not the best - but it's a block from home, so how can I complain. Did anyone every see a copy of "Freedom of the Quad?"

A 2 ton car hewed from a solid block of steel? I'd like to see you flatten it. And the DVD was sarcasm...

It's called Midol. Buy a bottle!

I dunno. I e-mailed them at 2:10pm about warranty repairs on my winter bivy. I got a reply back at 2:13pm. That's smoking timewise. Of course e-mail always make sit easy to ignore those difficult cases...

I definitely agree with you that an EMT/OEC gives you a new range of skills - and if nothing else, a much firmer grip on the basics (bandaging is somewhat useful to practice). If your short on time (who isn't?) a 2-3 day course is better than nothing.

Either get the girlfriend to stop putting nail polish on, or clip you toenails shorter. Much less than painful when there's hardly anything there.

Ski Patrol stuff (OEC) is roughly equivalent to an EMT-B course - and EMT-B courses are available at most community colleges. It's over/underkill though - you won't have the tools/knowledge to do much in the field. Probably best just to go for a 2-3 day course.

Try a piece of aluminum sheet and a hose clamp. The other solution is to by a piece of replacement AL tube (call a local metal shop, or try Mcmastercarr (who are expensive))

Yeah, but you weren't a part of the original Putsch, so you'll be passed over. Better than ending it on a night of long knives.....

But can you watch DVD's in your pickup? Huh?! Can You?

Alum. canoes should have 2 foam blocks ( 1 in the bow & 1 in the stern) to provide buoyancy in the event of capsizing. All canoes suck to be in once capsized. Good to see you made it ok!

Excellent! Now when will that movie EVER come out. Bill's battling George Greenough for longest time in post production...

Dr. Flash Amazing, We realize that in the sections of the fair berg of Portland that you inhabit public urination is an accepted, if not celebrated action, where I domicile myself this action is not so cherished. Instead I shall quaff a Chimay in your honor. Cheerio, cj001f

Dear Dr. Flash Amazing, We here at the cj001f center for world domination have scanned your scread, found it unworthy of further attention, and summarily dispatched it to the electron recycler for future use as bestiality spam. Love and kisses to the kids, cj001f

Hangdogging some overbolted chip-job? I was intimating spray, hangdogging's too good for you!

If you look across Falcon's guidebook line they've put no effort into developing new guidebooks - they just milk the gravy train. But go back to where you belong DFA.

It's starting to sound like a group of surfers, or ffishers, or skiiers......

There are people who go to rock gym (or bouldering) a couple times a month because they love it...

Judging by most of the people I know, most stick with ANY sport for only a year or 2. As a side question - what is climbing? If you go a couple times a month, are you a climber?

Post 9/11 I've had no problems with stoves or fuel bottles (even flying out of National airport). In fact the security people seemed much more interested in my carabiners. Just to be on the safe side I now use a pocket rocket - it's small, they don't notice it's there, and it's not that hard to find canisters most anywhere you go.

I wouldn't waste money on them - they'd be quite easy to liberate (an axe would do the trick)

If we're putting threads where they belong shouldn't everything on the climbers board go to spray?

This is how we dealt with snaffles in the Bugs Ahhh ... the Bugaboo snaffles like their privacy.......

Technically you can buy one pass good for all Federal Fee Areas (the National Park Pass works as a NW Forest Pass) - that doesn't mean it still don't suck.

Check out the Jeff Lowe Ice Climbing bok - he climbed some nice stuff with the Pulsar's
