Are we talking about the same fee as the NW F$%#ing Forest Pass? If so, I applaud this decision. EDIT: Read about halfway through the court papers link and found that the Fee Demo Program was also "on trial" in this case, so it would appear that we now have precedent in case law for striking this phuqin thing down.

Looks like Jeff's starting to put on his winter fat.

Wow, bummer. Still, they have nice teeth at least.

Now that's a good one; nice touch. See how DH pulls several posts together, intertwines them, and then puts the final touch on it, all perfectly balanced and related? The rest of you should be so inspired.

Nope, I create so many of these, I'd flood the market. I just flushed it down and waved goodbye.

Il sogno de Scipione is an opera; there is no fourth movement. You must be referring to the Allegro in K. 124. Yeah, it reminded me of Zappa during his Apostrophe tour. Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow. Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow...

morning constitutional. Ya shoulda seen it; a masterpiece!

Was that the concert at the Archbishop Colloredo's digs?IIRC, Il sogno de Scipione was the closing number. He kicked out Symphony in G (K. 124), too! I think he started his Italian tour after the Count's gig.

I get mine every two years from NOLS WMI here in the Tri-Cities. The local climbing/hiking club subsidizes the course for members and lodges the instructors in our homes to help keep our costs down. I am extrememly satisfied with the WMI course, otherwise I wouldn't drop that much coin to them every two years.

Is it time to buy textbooks again already...??

nice

Wow! Did you notice the ball control of the one in the dark green hot pants? Amazing! There was a ball in that video? Where? I musta missed that...

Nope, wasn't me, but it sounds like a book that I should get my hands on. I love all that WWII stuff.

classic!

sorry CC

I live in Benton County. Where is this McDonald Forest of which you speak? EDIT: nevermind. Google produces a McDonald Forest in Benton County OREGON

Wow, I'll bet that was chilling. I didn't know that they left all those people's bones out there after Pol Pot's ouster in the mid-1980s. Did you read Survival in the Killing Fields per my suggestion? I spent a long chilling day at Dachau, outside of Munich, many years ago. I still carry the memory of that day. Just plain frightening. Sorry if I put a wet blanket on anyone's day with this post.

Ahhhhh, Grasshopper... it is wise that you learn this at such a young age. Hold true to this ideal and your life will be filled with happiness.

check the shops that carry rebuilts. You trade your old one in for one of their rebuilts (the trade counts as the "core charge"), mebbe pay a bit, and they'll install it for ya for a little more ca$h. Should be able to swing it for about half of what you've already been quoted. Or break out the JC Whitney catalog...

How much are ya asking for the tickets? Doesn't matter - I'll take one.

"Well, that's a huge noggin. That's a virtual planetoid. Has it's own weather system. HEED! BEER! NOW!" One of the funniest movies ever!

Yeah, even the Minnesota Vikings have been known to "Coug it" in not one, not two, not three, but four, that's FOUR, Superbowls!

Got stalked by one on the way up Mt. Aix (near Bumping Lake) on the east side of the crest off SR 410 a few years back. Only my prints in the snow on the way up. Later that day on my return, there were my prints, and some pretty damn big cat prints for about a half mile. Similar thing happened on one of my early trips into Strobach Mtn. for some ice climbing. I was solo both times (yeah, solo ice climbing isn't all it's cracked up to be ).

Nope. We're closed here. Move along, move along.

THREAD DRIFT WARNING Funny story from Vietnam So my wife's vegetarian; I'm not. We're in Saigon a few years back, and she's trying to tell the waiter that she wants something without any meat in it. Finally, she thinks she's been successful. Food comes, and she's served what appears to be the feet (the clawed ends) of chickens. After some "discussion", the waiter reappears with a magazine and points out a rooster in it. He points to the rooster's feet, and points at the plate in front of my wife. My wife indicates that she's not going to eat it (which I eventually do). The waiter is adamant in his broken English, "No meat, just feet." We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. If you're in the Dry Shitties, the Yummie Pho at the corner of Columbia Center Blvd and Clearwater Ave is the place to get your noodle fix. I eat there about 3X/week.
