Damn you Ikea and your space saving staircase!

That’s it, I’m gettIng a gyroscope installed. If I fall down the stairs in my one story house in the middle of the night what will folks think of me?

Well you drop by to see how all your friends are doing and you see this. WTF are we all old or something?

Thanks I think.

There was someone ahead of me I wanted to beat. Riverrat? Can’t remember anymore. It was important then.

OK, I’ll admit it, I cared about post count and I had just gotten to some thing like second or third on the old post count list when Butch starting giving post counts away like candy. It pissed me off at first but it was a good lesson for me. I was spending too much time online and not enough...

Ha, I don’t remember starting this thread.

Glad you are OK. Had to check back in after they were saying Marathon took the brunt of it.

A deep notch in a punky tree is a bad idea. Wedging won't work either. Rope pull seems like your best bet or a domino fall.

How is the road through there? I have always wanted to drive through there on my way home but it is something like a 100 miles of dirt road. There is a hot spring at the bottom by Denio that I want to check out but I think you need spring run-off for it not to be a million degrees.

I bet Bartlett did all that. They were crazy for cabling.

I don't want bad things to happen to people but I wish we had half the population we have now.

It's not lying per SE Jay, there are some names in sushi that mean a general type of fish and not something specific. As for blue fin tuna numbers, it seems that Japan does all it can to suppress population statistics. I read more than a few articles that say the tuna numbers are down over 90%...

I'd have to check on that. Jay, this article explains that some sushi names are general and cover many species of fish. http://science.kqed.org/quest/2011/03/16/removing-the-guesswork-out-of-sustainable-sushi/

Jay, tuna is tuna a octopus is octopus but a lot of the other varieties of fish these days are similar species because the original fish cannot be taken in any significant numbers. We are depleting the Oceans very rapidly.
