We could look into if there would be any cost savings with getting them ordered, me picking them up and Binrat driving them back to Ontario. Just a thought. I'm going to MN next month and I could just have them shipped to my mom's. The shops here suck, there is MEC and um a new MEC coming in the future. I guess there is a place in Waterloo, but I don't know if they would order. There is no place close. They are all more than an hour.
Their website is nearly 100% jacked. Lots of fucked up info and links.

I doubt anything has fallen down. But I wouldn't be surprised. One route has a big hollow flake section on it that will come off sometime.

Good to know, thanks.
Raining here now, and the forecase for the next three days is equally schitty. Fack.
Win some, lose some.

New better job may be on it's way. Interview is sounding more and more like a formality than anything else.
So, if I get this new Jorb I'll have:
The same benefits
At least the same base salary (likely more)
Extra pay while in the field, including expences, lodging, ect. plus per deim (sp?)
2 weeks in the field 2 weeks out (might be 2 in 1 out, I'll ahve to ask at the meeting/interview)
Will be getting paid to ride around on Argo's, Quads, Swamp Buggy type things with big ass tracks, and drve to and from areas in 4x4's
And will be doing a bunch of geophysical/geological Surveys

So, if I get this new Jorb I'll have: The same benefits At least the same base salary (likely more) Extra pay while in the field, including expences, lodging, ect. plus per deim (sp?) 2 weeks in the field 2 weeks out (might be 2 in 1 out, I'll ahve to ask at the meeting/interview) Will be getting paid to ride around on Argo's, Quads, Swamp Buggy type things with big ass tracks, and drve to and from areas in 4x4's And will be doing a bunch of geophysical/geological Surveys
That sounds awesome, dude!
But now what will you talk about in the coffee threadz? :P
Best of luck on getting that, BTW, looks like one that would be killing to miss.

Clarify, please.

[img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2400/2209923974_9758cafa42_o.gif[/img] ...if he were to fall on that the rubber would break and the whole thing would fall apart!!! Everybody panic!!! QDs aren't as strong placed that way!!! For f u c K i n g real? Um.. They unclip from the bolt quite easily like that. FWIW, that's not me leading. I don't have QDs, only adjustable trad draws. What makes it so easy to unclip? Because instead of the QD moving around on the biner the biner ends up moving around on the bolt more. The shorter and stiffer the draw the more dangerous it is. IC. Good to know, thanks. Raining here now, and the forecase for the next three days is equally schitty. Fack. Win some, lose some. Send beer money, please. if you hadn't spent so much money on gas you'd have beer money! I bet he is less inclined to drive all over now that gas is well over $5 a gallon where he is.
