The day I onsighted it I had forgot my good shoes. I thought the day was going to be a disaster. Luckly you don't need to have good shoes to do it. Just a light, non-bulky harness

I know what you mean about the paycheck to paycheck thing.
Lots of people I know are currently doing the home improvement thing as well.
Take it one step at a time.

For my uses I could have used any one of the three and would have been fine. Though I weighed the total value of each option and in the end opted for the VZW air card. IMO it is the best decision I made regarding connectivity. As Sty mentioned, you get service just about anywhere you get cell coverage. I don't think I'll ever go back. Plus I still have the option to use wireless when available. The cool thing is being hooked into a GPS program on the laptop and getting live updates as I'm driving. My GF once did her homework on the way to a snowboarding weekend as I drived. It has been a good investment. I've heard from a few people that it was nice. Mostly in DC, because you can get access while underground on the metro. How much does it cost? I'm mainly using the computer to write on while I'm on the road and to store pix. Email, too, of course, but (aside from the convienience) why pay when I can get free WIFI almost anywhere? At $60 a month it beats sitting in McDonalds or scouring to find a WI-FI hotspot at a coffee shop and trying to find a seat. Plus at businesses you are obligated to be a customer to use thier "free" WI-FI. Again, not everything is free. The added convienence of being able to sit at a rest-area online is nice too. I like it when traveling for work, as I have internet all the way up until the aircraft doors close and I'm required to turn my computer off, without being dependant on that $5 access fee - or whatever they are charging now. And - AND - I don't have to find that hotel or campsite that has WI-FI as part of the package. The convienences are limitless. I was once there in the debate about what to get. I am satisfied about my decision. If you haven't made a decision by the time we climb, I'll bring my laptop so that you can better see what you'll be getting. The one thing I am missing is a DC - AC converter. They have one that I want that rotates through Woot! every now and again but I haven't been online to score it when it does. Definately invest in one as you won't need to find an outlet. You will be totally mobile; free of traditional internet constraints. Yeah that's something else I need. Which one are you looking for? Cobra makes a few nice inverters. My laptop's cord unit says it takes 90W of power, so a 200W inverter gives me plenty of spare capacity. I got the 400w one at a Flyin' J truck stop for maybe 40 bucks, I can power a few items all at once if need be. Another nice feature on the work lappy is that it has a additional cigarette-lighter plug cord for my power supply, so no inverter necessary!
Good to know, thanks!

Maybe I'll clock you with a grigri and steal yours  I dare you. I carry hexs in a bolo fashon and can kill small game with them.. Do either of you own a #7 tricam? I sure do.

It will be worth it; by the time you finish, maybe the market will be going up and you will make a good profit!
Nathan should work at a housing supply place and get a mad discount.

We have been trying not to by from there if we can.
I thought they were supposed to have really good prices on everything. A lot of the time there prices really aren't that good though. That makes it all the easier to not buy from them. It kinda is a one stop shop though. So that makes it hard not to buy from them sometimes too. Until Walmart buys them I guess we will be getting some stuff from HD.

The other day our thermometer said it was 35C. Which in a lot of places isn't that hot, but this is Canada eh! Not to mention early June.
I guess quite few years back I remember reroofing my Dad's house in MN in early June and it got passed 100F a couple times that week.
