Okel should have come with since the ice probably got really hammered yesterday and last night. 24+ hrs of well above freezing and lots of heavy rain. It wasn't really that good on Sat. We went to Toronto yesterday and I got another $15 off a previously discounted ice screw and we slipped and slid around on the wet ice all over the sidewalks. Good job on the screw. Did you finish the toilet? You mean testing the turlit? The bathroom isn't completely done but is functional. The turlit works way better than I thought it would. Who ever came up with the saying "quite waters run deep" must have had our toilet. No clogs yet. The true test will be when we get home from Quebec next weekend. Right Bec? 
Good news. Imagine if you had the flushmaster 2000. Your very own malestrom!

Winter storm watch here Sunday in the form of freezing rain, then rain. +1 on Monday. Oh NOEZ Damn right, oh noes!!! I'm melting, melting away!! It is supposed to get colder through the day. Not going to do me much good when the ice is all gone now. So you are saying it might form up by the end of the week again? I heard -7 later in the week for the high My ice(yes, i use the possesive there), should be beautiful on friday. how far would it take me to drive there? More time than to ride with us to Quebec. Where motels come equipped with attached bars.
I though you crashed in t3h f-150?

What you were climbing is called thin ice not hero ice. Scottish style is drytooling under the rime.

Not that much fun, but i've found i've been sucking on the approaches lately.

YEA if I get an acceptable offer, I am going to start climbing regularly again....the phd will take another 10 years to finish off, but I am not going to work myself crazy trying to get it done in a couple of months.

Ironically, its family day holiday here in ontario and I am taking off on them to go ice climbing. Yay family day! sweet are they not invited, or are they not interested? Both. But looks like there won't be any ice tomorrow. Its been raining here all day  I am so pissed That's what you get for blowing off your family. Thanks for wrecking it for the rest of us.  blame doc, it was all his fault. we covered that already We did what? we covered it. I said I hate you cuz you went ice climbing before the rain and I said it was your fault. End of story

Some of the shows are cool (like the station that runs all those radio plays from the 20s and 30s.), but overall it’s not great. AM radio is underrated, imo. I was told there is a show where a bunch of conspiracy theorists call in and chat about the conspiracies. Do you know the name of that show? I want to listen to the crazies, but I don't know when to listen on what stations. In reply to: Micro: Does Lam know that you are gay? yes, we did swing dancing for our first dance. there was some guy on TV who wrote about about 9/11 and how it was a big conspiracy. He seemed like complete fruitloop. I'm assuming that swing dancing is nothing like swinging. nothing at all like swinging

The house would be a two-story with full basement and a cathedral ceiling. Open from bottom to top. There would be wall up both sides forming an arch. It would be about 35 feet to the peak and could be nicely overhanging.

Didn't climb them much since if if I had someone to climb with I would go somewhere else. The house would be a two-story with full basement and a cathedral ceiling. Open from bottom to top.

That sounds really sweet. Make one side a waterfall with a cooling mechanism for ice.

So I did it in my approch shoes to.  I flashed a V4 in approch shoes. Not that counts. Toady always gets pissed when we go boulder and I never put on my climbing shoes. And for good reason. You get the foot holds all slimed up with crap from your shoez. And now I will go wash my face from all that spray that just flew out of my computer screen from you. I am a supporter of full contact bouldering. You should start body checking him at the first sign of approach shoes to rock. My shoez are normally clean or I won't do that. Really it is no worse than the gumbies who wear their shoes all the time except I know enough to try and keep the mud off the rock.

One will invariable involve China, an the other I speculate to be Russia. Though the DPRK has a good chance as any of making the news. Your film will be short lived. The pacific theater was better in WWII... You mean WWI? They were talking about another 10-episode series. I hope they do it.
band of bros was WW2, and there was a lack of a pacific theater in WW1
