we are doing the bridge ourselves. we do that kinda thing a lot. I'm goin' drinkin' now, cuz it's the last suds I'm gonna have time for for a while now...

Make that two. see wfinley's posted article.

I just wanna know who the hottie in the spaghetti strap gown is.

Wow. Nice save, rich. Hope you heal up soon.

Yeah, I wanna see that new-fangled duct tape Florida gaitor ('gator??).

Some of you out there in cc.com land are aware that I was working pretty hard on a huge proposal for a big new railroad overpass project here in the Tri-Cities a few weeks ago. After submitting the proposal, we got short-listed to interview for the project. Then there was the weekend spent preparing the PowerPoint presentation for the big interview. Then there was the big interview in front of the client. Then there were the second round eliminations. It was down to my firm and two others. Then there were the third round eliminations. Then it was down to my firm and the competition's team. I've been sweatin' bullets for almost two weeks while the city pondered which team was the best for this $20 million bridge project. Found out about two hours ago that... WE GOT IT!!!!1 The client wants a draft scope of work and fee estimate by COB tomorrow night. I'm gonna be so damn busy... I just wanted you all to know that if you never hear from me again, I'm not dead. I'm just buried.

What an enchantingly morbid "well-wish" you've got there, 5K. note to self: uncheck "Show birthday in calendar and profile" in my cc.com profile

50? Just getting broken in.

So exactly how many safety breaks per route are required to be a good climber?

defining the "good"

See? I told ya things would improve if you'd just spit out the gum.

What do you mean? An African or European swallow? Huh? I-- I don't know that. Auuuuuuuugh! How do know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know. And now you know where my autosig line came from.

WTF? A Dutch Oven, dude. Haven't you ever heard of it? Also known as a Submarine. Ah-ooooo-ga! Ah-ooooo-ga!! Dive! Dive! Dive!

"You had a 10,000 bottle wine collection! What happened to it?" "I drank it..."

you forgot slovenly hag I think "khunt" looks better with an umlat...

Hmmmmmmm, excellent response!

scornful tease...? or heartless khunt?

With this I would have to fully agree, especially after last weekend.

Hear, hear! I also join in wishing the Quarry Boy a Happy Birthday! It is indeed an event.

Sorry d00d, don't be harshin' my mellow. I fuhk'd up and thought I was talking to scott/akhalteke after his latest trip to Looking Glass. It raised an "eyebrow" with me... BTW, Happy Birthday, Quarry Boy!

Was that with or without an umlat?

I have no soul, and therefore nothing to uncage.

Me like. Me like dat one. Very nice. Welcome back, Couloir... and your avatars. :tup:

cute

Gotta debate with O_W here, sklag... Replace with perlon cord, or preferably kevlar cord (but don't retie after tieing the knot - kevlar will "brittle up" after repeated flexion) in the last hole ahead of the trigger slide slot, just like your friend has already done. This helps to prevent stem breakage when falling onto horizontal cam placements. Less leverage. I don't think you'll be able to get 1" tubular through that hole.
