So to this date, other people have contributed most of the hardware to my climbing gear collection. The latest addition was a set of new CCH Aliens off Ebay. And then Mooner sent me a link to a photo sequence of a guy falling and blowing out an orange alien (which they recalled 200 or so over the summer because of a misdrilled hole) but this one was completely mangled; the wire just pulled out of the brazing. Then rumors started, an independent set of tests was done, and found that they broke far under the rated strength. RECALL!!! And my set was 8 months older than the recall date. Well, I'll climb on 'em. Poor CCH though, if they survive this financially, it'll be a miracle.
So the ancient eqyptions used to remove the organs of the deceased before embalming. For the brain, they would insert a blade through the nose, scramble the brain into little chunks and then pull it out of their nose. ...I know what that feels like now. I sat through 3 hrs of Forestry 457 "Linear Programming" and didn't comprehend anything. It felt like what he covered in 3 hrs should have taken a whole month of classes. And the worst thing is, I can't blame ADD on this one because I know I was paying attention to John Sessions the whole damn time trying to comprehend SOMETHING! Its just too complicated. This teacher is a crackup too; totally old fashioned and his work is his life, litterally.

Sierra Cement... in Idaho
The snow in Sun Valley was definitely less than ideal, but I won't complain too much because there was alot of it! Every morning for 7 days there was at least 6 inches of fresh snow on the ground (usually closer to a foot). It was fairly wet snow for Idaho but we got some colder snow days towards the end. I really like boarding at Sun Valley, but I really don't like the people who visit the town. The locals seem pretty cool but the people who go there to visit are absurd! I saw more fluffy shag boots(mid calf, poofy, UGLY AS HELL!) and long haired chiwawas in 7 days than I have seen in Oregon in 6 months. Says something about the people who visit the place. Oh, and new years was bunk because the bar with the cheapest cover was $85!!!!!! Yea, not going to pay that. ...So I watched Southpark with Alec and acknowledged the new year with a sip of beer. Oh how I love you Sam Adams. You're my only friend! Oh, and my dad tore his ACL/MCL; what a lucky guy!
I guess the one positive thing about the place was that I didn't have to pay for anthing for a whole week! sweet! I got a really bad cold while there, but dad was paying for lift tickets, so I had to keep boarding while it didn't cost anything. As a result, I a still sick a week later.
