Agree with Off. And goddamn, I gotta get back up there...

Why not try posting a pic or two of the subject(s) here, too? Someone on this board might recognize them and that might help to expedite the reuniting process. And recovering the pics from the camera sounds really cool, in a Mallory-Irvine sort of way... although certainly not as many years between exposure and recovery.

Wow... what a testimonial, Kirk! Thankfully for me, this gig is only a "scoping mission" of two weeks in preparation for a larger engineering contract with my firm, of which I will likely not be a part of the resource pool that gets stationed in banished to the Bakken Field. And I paid for my beer through college by playing darts, so I should be fine. Unless I try to hustle them and get busted. Then they might shoot me, promptly stuff me, and mount me over someone's fireplace...

Hey thanks, Kurt. You're such a big help in these things...

Didn't spend much time in Oakland, but I did find the Pyramid Alehouse in WC and threw back a few a time or two while in town. :brew:

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Now it's off to NW North Dakota for a couple weeks or so. What's out there? Do I need to make sure I add that undercoating as an extra?

1:53, at the DMZ. The soldier was most definitely NOT amused.

That was friggin' hilarious! And I have a cat! Loved the end credits: "Seriously, I don't hate cats, but don't get me started on Kesha."

Pretty sure that's Nora in the purple halter top w/straw hat in the bottom center of the frame at the beginning. But why does she wait a minute and a half before jumping in? I had to go back to be sure, cuz the dude in the Minnie Pearl hat and red tighties at 2:17 scared the livin' shit out of me...

A fine achievement in parenting your young'ns, OW. Well played!

Just musing, OW. I'm a lover, not a fighter... Must concur - a screw-up of major proportions. If we encounter the prosecuting attorney, can we beat him with a wooden club and leave him for dead? Would that be fair? Yet another season is winding away, and I don't have any climbing plans in my future due to job situation. Back from TDY in CA now, leave for my next gig in ND in a couple days, then after that mebbe NV for a few months, or even NY until next spring. Lots of travel, no fun times...

Now there's 10 hours of my life that I'll never get back...

Convicting someone of a crime that doesn't exist is a major screw up. I seriously doubt this guy will walk... he'll continue to serve time on his robbery conviction and will probably be retried. He'll still serve several years. Exactly! How the hell does a prosecuting attorney screw up the charging documents that heinously??? Precisely. Y'all better start packing in Skamania County... Question: If we encounter Michael Collins, can we beat him with a wooden club and leave him for dead? Would that be fair?

Oh, so that was you. Figgerz...

Begone, on pain of death, spambot! All our moderators are been notified to us.

Screw PMs, Kurt. I want mine. Right here, right now.

Fixt it for ya... I could have sworn it was up river, but my memories from the 80s are sketchy sometimes. Elk City is upriver from LD, but that's a whoooooooooole 'nother discussion... :banjos playing:

Leave it to Billy...

You slanderous whelp, you! The beer at that store is swill. Now that Granny is dead and they hauled the pool table out of the living room, the only reason to stop there is to replenish the ice in the Igloo...

Fixt it for ya...

Jeebus Christ, is this bullshit true? Another fuq'n permit? Crikey, I leave the state for less than a month and this abortion goes down? Shit, I need to reside in a new state. WA ain't it... CA ain't it... fuq... Now, this I love: You actually got this printed in a newspaper? Classic!

CC.com has an app???

Gatherings of this group (called Pub Clubs) used to happen weekly. There was always someone/someplace to go drinking. But it seems like about a year or so ago we just sorta stopped doing that. And we used to do the annual Rope-Up at Leavenworth. But last year was the first year that we didn't have one. And the Portlandians used to do Smiff Tuft Luv right around the same time as RU. But there wasn't a STL last year either. I don't know what's happened to us... I do see in the Events and the *freshiezone* forums that we're still doing the annual Ski-In up at WA Pass. It's this weekend, so you better get to driving...

Mark, Congrats on getting accepted at two fine schools! Like others have said, you'll have the Gunks, the 'Daks, NH ice climbing is rad, and as ivan said, Mt. Washington in winter ain't the foodcourt. From experience, this I know... Being a CE meseff, I'd be keen to know who your FIL is, Dan. Please elaborate. PM is fine if you want to keep his ID a secret.

Thanks Pat, Kurt, Mel, and Carl. That's all news I can use!
