Yeah, the dude abides...

Chianti tonight. Needed some lighter fare this evening since I'm driving to Poulsbo later tonight to be with my kiddos for the weekend. So I'm sipping on some Poggio Vignoso chianti (no fava beans, tho...) while packing up. It's Nicholas's birthday tomorrow. Eight, count 'em, eight, freakin' years old already! Criminy, WTF does the time go???

OMG, bill, ya dope! Someone needs to smack you on the back of your head again. Linky

Wimmin like to take pics of me when I'm nekkid. Like this one here. Don't ask me why... Rest assured that for each and every one of these pics, there was a woman behind the lens. And I see where this thread has brought you out of nearly a year's worth of lurking. Was it the pics, or what? The Annual Spectacle Lake Icebreaker Plunge (yours truly on the right)

Yes, I am.

I love myself, F4. In fact, I'm hugging myself right now. :kisss:

Pictures just don't do it justice. It looks a fuckuva lot hotter in real life. I'll show you if you want.

Did someone say exhibitionist? (this is not me, btw!!) This, I did not expect.

Now you're getting it. Carry on!

I'd prefer she not be a virgin so time isn't wasted teaching Hence, the reason for my second sentence.

One would be enough, thankyouverymuch. And she wouldn't even have to be a virgin.

How do you figure? Spell out for me your scintillating logic.

Bring who on? 76 virgins 72, 5K... 72 virgins.

Last week's news. Please endeavor to maintain the pace of play.

????? Now what have you done, Brad?

VIA FERRATA, BAY-BEEEEE!!! Cue that stupid VF pic of the guido pointing at the cameraman

Looking forward to your TR. With pics, of course...

Going anywhere cool? Gonna be pics later?

Hey, Brad's back now, too! Wow, two lost souls returned to us in one week! Oh, happy days are here again...

I don't follow your every post and hang on your every typed word. My life is too full for that kind of time-suck, so I didn't see kinnikinnick's post to you before now. Regardless of all that, the fact remains that you really do need to grow a thicker skin. You are too easily offended and your senseless sniping at others that have ostensibly wronged you is causing the rest of us to grow weary of your incessant prattle. I hope that with age, you will grow out of this phase. The thing about you throwing the same comment back at kinnikinnick is that you've made such a huge douchebag out of yourself on this site already, you come off like a third-grader on the playground with that kind of snarky comment. It's just like that old "I know you are, but what am I?" retort from grade school. Jeezus, man, grow up! While kinnikinnick's comment to you in the other thread was certainly unsolicited (and dare I say instigatory), you would have come off as the "better man" by letting it go and not responding. Please understand that I'm trying to help you out with a little "life lesson" here. Anytime you re-engage in the behavior that got you branded as a douchebag on this site, you're going to get the smack-down from us here all over again until you "get it" and desist with that behavior. There is an old saying that goes, "The lesson presents itself time and time again until it is learned." Like Gene says, "Let it all go, man." Learning when to open your mouth and when to keep it shut would be a take-home lesson of inestimable value for you here. In short: listen more, talk less. This has great merit outside of internet forums as well. Call it a Lesson for Life. Who says I'm offended?? I'm just entertained by the exhibition of your douchebaggery yet again. But let me remind you that the vast majority of your past posts have given many of us here no reason to doubt your douchebaggedness. We don't need an offhand comment to confirm that. I don't recall ever offering you one to accept, so the answer to your implied question would be, "No." Now you run along and have a nice day, ya'hear? You can thank me later, if you like.

Quit being a douchebag. Again...

Oh, that's reeeeeeeeally funny, Stephen. Ha ha ha. I have to get on the road now, or I'll be late for my rendezvous. OKTHNXBAI!

Thanks, MC. Always wanted to do some ice on OR, too, so this will be my first view of it. Regarding bears, I pretty sure I can run faster than my friend, so no worries there. Although come to think of it, she has been training for a triathlon in September, so that could pose some problems for my fat ass in the event of a bear encounter...

I've wanted to do PR for a long time now, and just haven't gotten around to it. But tomorrow I'll be in Spray Park and Seattle Park doing the touron thing, and armed with camera. What should I be looking for as far as garnering route condition beta here? Can I see anything worthwhile of the ridge from these vantage points?

Yes, but check slides 17 & 32. Yes, but check slides 14 - 16
