I'm confused... sped was wearing wool gloves... I thought that you needed velcro gloves for that?

And take comfort in knowing that if the plane loses engine power, it will probably have enough altitude and airspeed to make it all the way to the crash site.

Yeah. Bunny Face.

Delta and NW just filed for bankruptcy protection, so they've got nuthin' left to lose if their planes fall out of the sky. That make you feel any better?

Ended up going to Spring Mountain with some old climbing buds from the Tri-Cities and Walla Walla. I've got a couple of flappers now... Curse you, Fab Slab! FWIW, the Nez Perce National Forest/South Fork of the Clearwater River is on fire right now, on the east side of the river about 6 miles south of Strangeville.

Utterly remarkable. I'll say it again, utterly remarkable. What a grand day out, Joe. Cheers!

Cramps, You might try shooting a PM to Mike_Gauthier. He is, after all, the Lead Climbing Ranger at MRNP... and an all around really nice guy. I'm sure he could point you in the right direction with all kinds of great info and stuff. That is, if he isn't out rescuing someone right now.

So are you saying he's just covering his ass, or what?

Well, lip read it, yes... it makes the punches seem more real.

Reading comic books...? I don't think so; they have pictures, don't they?

AHRRRRRGGG!! Keep Spray classic literature-free!

Bump! Wel-l-l-l-l-l-l-l, it's been about a year since we were last graced by 007's presence and his N.P.T.N.C.C.O.E. '05 trip. So 007, didya make it?

Yeah, I'd be interested in hearing your story as well. And TLG is gonna be askin' for pics, ya know...

Too late, he's already paid his tuition.

If you were following 9's at Seneca without hang-dogging them, then you won't wait too long to find partners out here. Both RuMR and myself, as well as many others here, are transplants from "back East." It's all good! Good luck in school!

Haven't found a use for molten lead ..? Good God, woman, turn the stuff into gold! You'll be rich! RICH! BWA HA HA HA HAAA! fern, you'll be needing some of these...

billcoe, On a related note to your recent book, I finished a book called Taliban a few months back. Although it was written before September 11, it is still interesting, illuminating, and enlightening reading for the Westerner. And I agree; the worst thing a parent can ever experience is outliving their child. My parents have been doing that for almost 20 years now...

Remember now, people... you can point, and you can laugh, but you can't point AND laugh.

Narnia Chronicles. Never read it in my younger years, and the movie's coming out this winter. My wife loved the stuff when she was younger, and wants to take me and The Boy to see it, so I need to "study up" on it so I'm not totally lost.

Ah ha! Now that attitude right there will get you branded as a chestbeater!

The Goat Rocks area is full-o-'em.

iain, are those cast iron or cast aluminum? They don't seem to be rusted at all... but still heavy as shit.

...unless, of course, you did something like this, which is humorous, and thereby acceptable.
