With my apologies to Flames, where in my dyslexic way I try hard to tell snippets
Of the games I used play. Three times we'd try, then come back another day.
We had miles of smiles and lonely crevice climbs that no one would see or dream about for
Fifty years or more. The brut strength flowed as did the blood in our veins. We never left
Un fulfilled we never gave our climbs names. The climbs often named themselves when
Our friends failed to show us up, and came away asking - Hey, John, What's up?


The strength of 'brut' Champaign not with standing, here I'll leave it for a few I'm gonna fix it in the other version

Not the point of origin of a wildfire. Just the point at which "it" begins.

Where it finishes is anyone's guess.

Tiny, tiny red x marks the spot.

Don't be naive, Survival, of course there was no landing.

The reason space travel is not possible is because the systems we claim to use to propel a rocket through space operate on gas pressure and there is no gas pressure in space.

Gas pressure requires molecules to be in contact with each other, bouncing off each other, causing millions of collisions per second, etc… If you release gas into the vacuum of space, the first molecule that pops out will shoot off into the distance at a constant speed, so will the one behind that, never catching up with the first one. The third, fourth, etc… all fly off into the distance trying to fill the vacuum by finding their empty corner. So no matter how much gas you produce none of it will ever change the pressure under a space ship. None it if will ever push a spaceship. To push a spaceship there must be some locally high pressure under it, which is impossible since the pressure in space is 0 everywhere.

There is no way, therefore, for the tiny blasters on astronauts moving around in space, either.

I call BS.

How did the cow propel itself over the moon but with self-produced methane?

Huh?

zBrown, I've driven on Los Angeles Avenue into the San Fernando Valley. Many times, in fact. Never been on Sepulveda much, but I have.

LA scared me to tell ya the truth. Too many drivers driving faster than me, and I hadda keep up, so I managed in that van. Hell, I got to where I started enjoying it and knew I was in trouble, so I stayed away from the joint as much as possible. Malibu and Chatsworth and the back roads, Otay, but the freeways were hellish.

But I only once got stuck in a traffic gridlock and that wasn't all that long. I don't blame Mr.E and Maidy for exiting Chatsworth for Bishop!

Good move, you two. Hoping to get to the Eastside sometime, somehow.

I worked in Saticoy for a summer in '72. It was the Rheem-Superior Co., an oilfield jobber. The yard we worked out of was right down near the river and next door to a slaughterhouse.

Lots of Coors on paydays, lots of good ol' boy talk, and that included football.

RASH THE PADIDDLE*: "You don't like Sonny Jurgensen? What the f ails you, boy?"
PAUL THE INJUN: "He's a Sonnyvabitch, is why! He killed us with that damn fake so many times last Sunday I damn near cried!"

These two just had it in for each other. Rash was Paul's supervisor, an Arkie. Paul was from Oklahoma and liked working at his own damn pace. Rash was ALWAYS riding him. I think it was all for show. They were drinkin' buddies, along with Charlie the Viet Vet from Texas.

I got assigned to their truck that summer, mostly. The Wild Bunch and the n00b. Good times!

Miss Martha Stewart would've been horrified.

All that summer I surfed and climbed with Ike Edie.

the Rev came for a visit, and so did Jones. Jones stayed a few days and helped us move to Berkeley after visiting folks in LA.

We travelled one time via LA Ave. to SToney Point, over where the rich white folks lived, in Chatsworth (formerly Owensmouth), but the drive was tool ONG ("When are we goanna get there, my lizard bro?" "I wanted to show you Simi Valley and the pass, Mouse. Trust me, I KNOW where it is! Pass that doob.")

I've told this one before, but it still rankles. We managed on one trip to Stoney to lose a Chouinard bi-pattern 150-footer I'd gotten in payment from Tom Frost for a day's work cutting spools to proper lengths. I had left it coiled on a rock when we drove away! F!!!!

The state of quantum flux
Aug 20, 2016 - 12:12pm PT


Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that, together, laid the foundation for classical mechanics. They describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it, and its motion in response to those forces. They have been expressed in several different ways, over nearly three centuries,[1] and can be summarised as follows.



First law: When viewed in an inertial reference frame, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a net force.[2][3]

Second law: In an inertial reference frame, the vector sum of the forces F on an object is equal to the mass m of that object multiplied by the acceleration vector a of the object: F = ma.

Third law: When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.

The three laws of motion were first compiled by Isaac Newton in his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), first published in 1687.[4] Newton used them to explain and investigate the motion of many physical objects and systems.[5] For example, in the third volume of the text, Newton showed that these laws of motion, combined with his law of universal gravitation, explained Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

Bushy-doh,

Yes, Law #3 was plainly demonstrated the other night in the DestructoBot Massacre on the telly.

Whirling horizontal blade vs. low-slung round 'bot saw lots of caroming off each other in odd directions and for long distances, out of control, baby!

Good stuff, normally, but this episode, leading the the round of 16 was pretty tame. Though one 'bot used an ordinary plastic garden rake to deal with a drone spitting flames. Nailed that little suckah! THEN the controller used the rake to try to upset the other 'bot. Hilarious!

Warning warning warning do not trust Matt Conch he is supposedly selling 11 spirit draws on here.
I was gonna drive down to Colorado springs to buy the draws from him this evening.
he told me to meet him at the wall mart cause he didn't want me to come to his address.?
He told me he would meet me at 7:15,
I told him I would call to confirm before I leave to make sure he would be there
I called three times and sent a text he never responded.
Glad I didn't just drive down from Denver to the springs to sit in the parking lot for an hour for a no call back / no show.
I find most people on mountain project to be reliable but this seller was totally unreliable and blew me off.

Matt's reply !?

Yeah, you're a creep asking to meet me at home and sh#t. Sorry I'm not looking for anything 'extra' when selling these. Get off my thread
This was what I choose to do after talking with Angus
who sends his warmest regards to Brain Boyd!

More to your embarrassment, Matt, I climbed with Angus's grandfather Fritz.
Andy, Angus father raised Angus to be proud & humble about his roots.
I assure Angus would never do anything that would mar the reputation of the family name.

Acting as you have, casting aspersions, trying to imply any nefarious purpose or
interest in you. Is so far off the mark.
Wrong minded & wrong spirited.Just beyond Wrong!
We all work on trust .
Why didn't you respond to the 1st person interested in
your heirlooms?
Why would you not meet Angus?
What is wrong with meeting you where you and your gear are?
I would want to see that you keep the gear properly.
I'm suspect of anyone who is so paranoid,
and would have an issue with you too, if you blew me off.
Why would you attack him publicly For expressing frustration
with the way you treated him
(a Legacy member of our tribe)
Get a grip! I've suffered through a broken neck.
Watched as the activity that has been my way of life, climbing, has changed.
I've remained civil, as the likes of You have come to dominate this site.
You have yourself to blame for this, Keep the gear - delete the thread.
