oh thank god. All is right in the world

I live too close to you. You don't dislike me THAT much.

What was I thinking? It's a deal!

Uh... I'll get back to you on that.

MysticNacho and sundry were upon on Success Cleaver last weekend- reported stellar conditions. He prolly won't see this thread so shoot him a pm if you want details.

We picked Dave last for our team, but you still got stuck with George. I'll make Dave sit on the bench if you sideline your weak link.

Holy Moly, Mr! What happened? Last I heard you were firmly entrenched in the lonely-climbing-dude-tribe!! Congratulations

The Exums are their trail runners. I love 'em as approach shoes.

5 weeks of instant pudding. I still have a quart of olive oil in my cupboard from that trip. I think I'd just read MFT at that point, and became convinced I could stave off the cold by simply drinking olive oil. I tried it with seriously bad results- I the shits for three days, and almost bagged the whole trip at that point. what worked: Breakfasts: powdered milk w/ oatmeal + one or more of the following (brown sugar/raisins/craisins/nuts) Lunches:I forget. I do remember we all developed a strange fascination with the bottle of 'lemon-pepper salt' that someone had packed. We started taking straight hits of that stuff. I'm not sure if we were starved for salts, or just bored out of our minds. Dinners: Pick 1 item from column a & mix with column b A B Inst. Mashed Potatoes 6 different bulk soups Inst. Rice add butter For dessert, instant pudding premixed with powdered milk was great.

Bump. This thread was my first post. ah, the nostalgia. It's cool to see how helpful Team Canada was, even though they front like sprayers.

Well, there ya go.

Like Dru said, in the future, the winter of 2005 will be remembered as 'burly'.

Thanks for sharing.

MFT runs Grivel North America these days.

Brian, I respectfully disagree. One aspect of the DUSEL project that gives me pause is the useful lifespan of the facility. This facility is not projected to be useful beyond 30-40 years. In this regard, the project seems analogous to the small veins of ore that gave rise to many small mining towns in the west: you'll see about a generation's worth of growth and development in the region, followed by a long period of decay and abandonment. The growth that this project will induce is not sustainable for the region. I could be wrong, but I haven't seen anything to induce me to think otherwise.

Dru- Is this guy at your new gym? Scary route-setter If so, please post pics. I'm feeling the schadenfreude.

You can see the bats from a mile off, and the Sausage Man creature smells like a beast.
