Jeebus!!!1 $750+ for a pack? Crikey! They's mighty damn proud of that thing, ain't they?

A skeleton walks into a bar and says, "Gimme a beer and a mop."

Pink Floyd - the last two minutes of Comfortably Numb. Especially the final 30 seconds. And the first minute and a half of The Division Bell's Coming Back to Life.

Craig, I agree with the manufacturer. Retire the cams. You can just give them to me and I'll make sure they get back to the manufacturer.

Greetings and welcome. I live in K-wick, and would like to hook up sometime. I'm not much for Vantage anymore (rode a column down there once), but would be up for Spring Mtn., Tieton, Banks Lake area, WA Pass, Leavenworth, and Lightning Dome (SF Clearwater River). Currently don't get out much (wife and two kids under 6 yoa), but that may change soon as the kids are becoming more independent and require less parental oversight. As a result of this lack of regualr outdoor experieince, I currently lead in the 5.8/9 trad and 5.9/10+ sport range. Also ice climb in the WI-3/4 range, alpine (when I can get the time) and volcano slogs. No mountain bike (road bike instead). haven't skied in 5 years (since getting the kids), so that gear is just hanging in the garage getting old.

Pretty strong opinion on JT there, 5K. Why don't you save it, huh? While I enjoy listening to various outputs of JT, I can't for the life of me describe them as being of the Heavy Metal genre. Here's what Wikipedia has to say: Jethro Tull are a Grammy Award winning British rock group that formed in 1967-1968. Their music is marked by the distinctive vocal style and lead flute work of front man Ian Anderson. Initially playing blues rock with an experimental flavour, they have, over the years, incorporated elements of classical, folk and 'ethnic' musics, jazz and art rock.

Wow, that is harsh. I don't know what else to say. Harsh. Just harsh. Totally preventable. ouch

I remembered the scenario as a lad of 15 or so. It stuck with me over the years, for several reasons. I thought it germaine to the discussion at hand. That is all.

Read it again, GMC, this time more slowly. Note that I said "there was some question of infidelity."

What about putting rap rings on webbing around trees? Saves pounding shit into rock. Saves strangling trees with chains.

I know of at least one couple that survived the loss of their 32-year-old daughter. That was 20 years ago this coming May. And there was some question of infidelity on the wife's part about 30 years ago. The kids were never fully briefed (nor in my mind need they have been). That couple celebrated their 53rd anniversary last October. I understand that they are still joyously in love with each other.

Anything that could/would lead to a failure of grand proportions of the realtionship. Trust is the first casualty. Very hard to recover from that loss.

I think that infidelity is a "right to know" issue. I don't buy the "what they don't know can't hurt them" line of reasoning/excuse. The offended party will always find out. Eventually. Always. Just a matter of time.

Define "cheated" for me. Includes while engaged? Pre-engagement? Doing two girls at the same time, but not in the same room? Just need some clarification there before I throw down. i have never fooled around on my wife before or during our marriage....clear enough? Pretty clear. You're not alone. Never cheated on the wife. Ever. You're not in the club unless you've never cheated on ANYONE, EVER, Mr. Goodie Two Shoes. What happens back in college and high school doesn't count, does it? It does? Hmpff! Well then, I would never want to be a member of any club that would have me. :snif:

Define "cheated" for me. Includes while engaged? Pre-engagement? Doing two girls at the same time, but not in the same room? Just need some clarification there before I throw down. I have a definition for cheating. any conversation interaction or physical activity you would not have in front of and with the full knowledge of your partner. anything that is a secret from your partner breaks down the trust you share. for me the promise that i need to hear is not "I will never have sex with another woman" there are many instances when my partner having sex with another woman is welcome and encouraged. the promise i need to hear is "I will never lie to you or keep from you that which you have the right to know" I like this definition. I agree with it. Although some people blur the line of "that which you have the right to know"...

Depends. If you make it such that the chain remains and is in a fixed loop, you will eventually kill the tree. It may "overgrow" the chain, or it may not. But most likely it will strangle it over the years and kill it. Use webbing; the snaffles will chew through it one season and take it back to their nests for bedding. More environmentally friendly.

if i weren't so lazy i'd dig up the study probaby rather old though happiest: 1) single women 2) married men 3) single men 4) married women So how would this shake out if we changed "happiest" to "unhappiest"? Somehow, I think I'd end up at the bottom of the list...

Beer just exploded right outta my nose. But didja see up above^^ ? I agreed with you, like, twice inside of two minutes. That monogamy thing is key.

The best anti-Vietnam War protest "song" ever written. All 18 and a half minutes of it. In four-part harmony. With feeling...

Nike makes a thing called the Aqua Sock, but it's like $35 GI Joe's has damn near the same thing for $10. I've got a pair and use them just as those dudes that you saw last year did. And they're da bomb for creek fording.

Howz'bout two out of three? I'm not much for metal. Oh, and I'm an enginerd, so I got that angle covered. Do you at least like the Cookie Monster's voice? I think the Cookie Monster is But I like Animal better. YAH YAH YAH YAH!

These statements, as they regard myself, are equally valid.
