I can learn to count to 12 and get my groove on. Sounds like the mix tape guy could use this in his song selection.

If you have a nut constriction that pinches down for an inch or something but opens up afterward, then you could pull a nut beyond the constriction if it were weighted first. Then the other nut would fail as it is loaded because the block will pivot back the other way.
just something to be aware of...if it was all I had at the time, I would probably take it anyways though. Better then nothing at all.

Hey choss/whoever, did you ever rig one of those dividers in your truck bed to essentially double your floor space? i.e. store stuff on top and sleep underneath? did you just throw a piece of plywood in there or did you build a structure?

Yeah, I get you. I got to "equalization" and stopped reading.

I thought I'd do something to piss off n00bs and those who don't know me. should be interesting to get some responses. first time I have heard someone call j-tree choss without a hint of sarcasm. umm, jtree is mostly choss. maybe not to a pennsylvanian, but it'z definitely choss. hrmm so it would be a waste of $300 in airfare to fly there to climb? Was looking up flights just for fun around the godesses weekend in J tree. Jesus Christ!!!! I'm sooooo busy I can't go climb ice. I think I'll go to RR and maybe JT while I'm at it. She is just afraid of me drinking her under the table. By 4pm. I think you are correct. Except for the 4pm part. I like to think we would still be climbing at 4pm. How about $ on 6pm? I'm cool with still climbing at 4 pm.... Doesn't mean the contest is off tho. yes, but did you also know that they get you up before the sun comes up and don't stop climbing til the sun goes down? I think I would have to "play dead" the second day and stay in bed
Not a problem here. Just leave a gallon of water outside my tent door.

We currently don't have a toilet upstairs. Wow he has been busy then. And a toilet for company coming is probably a good idea. Make sure to give the new terlit a few test flushes to prevent an embarrassing terlet rupture when a guest uses it. The flushing action seems retardedly weak. I hope it can handle the job. I told Rebecca we should have got the Champion 4 aka The Flushmaster 2000. We''l have to see how it works. I haven't really tried it yet. I think they filled half the 6liter tank with foam insulation.
A weak flush is never good. That leads to clogging if you drop a big one and don't multiflush.
