I think mine was the "Near Miss Report" thread and that was almost two years ago. I can't remember mine. I've done a few news notes. Maybe mine was the speed record by Caldwell and Honnold. Still, none of the big hitters are here anymore. I don't even see JT. I anticipate a long, long recovery. It's been a long time since my last useful thread. Most of the stuff that can be talked about has already been talked about. So, really, is there a point in trying to be useful?
About as much point as bemoaning the fact that the site is in decline, I suppose.

I'm kind of annoyed. I missed the season premier of Walking Dead the other night and since AMC stays a full week behind with whats available OnDemand and I refuse to pirate, I'm behind for the rest of the season.

I value high quality programing and I know that doesn't come cheap, so I make it a point to support their revenue chain. Same with movies and music, although I'm the most flexible with music since they have the live show, which is a major source of revenue that cannot be duplicated or pirated.

Haha, thanks I can't help but wonder what our relative weights are, though--I bet you don't have more than ten pounds on me.

I don't care what she called you. You still "look" healthy despite being a Vegan...
In other news... I'm only eating meat -of any kind- 2-3 meals a week. It's having a substantial effect on my everything.
Now, if I only had more trees to hug...

Bottom line, once I feel better I need to do some cardio. All this weight talk comes of feeling like a lazy slug!

That's funny, because since my teenage years I have maintained a rigid anti-music piracy position. TV, though . . . I actually wouldn't care if it went away and never came back.

I think it was in New England. Weird number of East Coast earthquakes in the recent past, though.

It was a 4.6 centered about 40 miles east of me. The whole house shook for about 4 seconds with a significant rumble, and the dogs jumped up out of a snooze and started running (where to, I don't know, we were inside.) I knew right away what it was, but don't recall ever feeling one so strong in NH in my 51 years. My wife had to ask what it was, and after I told her I stepped outside and my new neighbors and their other neighbors were also out asking what it was.

Heh...
New Englanders.
I was in Acadia for the last significant one. was going to climb the next day at the Precipice. Too bad that part of the cliff came down with that one.
Heck, I was up there for two significant rockfalls that forever changed the climbing in Acadia. The earthquake and the falling of Riptide and Razor Crack.
Anyway... it's all over... nothing to see here.... move along.

All of my adult life I have weighed 158 - 160. I have been down to 153 for the last six months. I thought maybe I was dying or something. Doc thinks proly not. I'm thinking thats a bet he can't win.
