I forget where I got my shaker like that. But aside from the measurement markings on the glass it is the same as a pint glass and I can use them interchangeably. As long as it fits into the steel cup, you could probably use a rocks glass too.

Never seen it.
I did see a video of two teenagers who were watching it for the first time and had no idea what it was. It was really funny seeing their reactions.

And the wood was probably better to. The place w got our tile from was cheaper too, and had way more to pick from.
7. 
We had to shim a few and monkey around with the fit on the top part of a few. They weren't the quality we were expecting. The flanges were deformed, etc.
Once we got past the first two the rest went quick. and my dad is a perfectionist.

No. close by. The crag is on our property. No one knows about it. I'm a lucky little bastard.
We shot in a different spot.
Yeah, talk about ironic. 96 degrees outside and the route was wet. It gets a lot of shade, but I thought it would have dried out since the rain last week. We still had a fun time, though.

That was wrong on so many levels... I still owe my buddy a swift kick in the nuts for sending me that one. Mind you any email from him... should have known better than to click on the link.

Next week should be nice. It's good to be back. Goal for this week is to find a teenie-tiny truck. That is all for now. Glad to hear you got there. What's it like to have all that free time on your hands? Good. I have been relatively busy. Bought health insurance Bought a new sleeping bag Bought laptop Looking at trucks Making plans to climb (including with Epoch, I'll let you know if he's also an asshole in real life)  Looking at r00tes out west. Making plans with partners Reading Playing guitar Drinking beer Seeing friends Good stuff! Fixed that for you. I hope you have money left over to go travel. This was part of the budget. I need health insurance. My only sleeping bad is rated to 0. Won't need that. the laptop was a bit of a luxury, but I'll use it. I needed a new computer anyway, and I got a really good deal get the Verizon aircard, too. they're fairly fast, and work most anywhere. I'm currently riding shotgun on the way home from Cheyenne, and with the exception of a few areas I've been online the entire way. you ARE planning on stoppin in SL, UT on your trip, right? For if nothing else, the opportunity to see if I'm the donnie i appear to be?When I was making the decision about how I should equip myself with internet at home I went through the debate between dial-up, cable broadband, and a VZW air card. 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. Thanks for the info, it is something to think about. The $60 price tag...hmm...I wish they had a "try it free" thing going on or something. 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.
No #7 Tricam monster...
But I do have a good pin rack, including a monster bong!

When I was working for this one framing company I was the window guy. The buildings were huge and there would be hundreds of windows for each building. My helper and I were supposed to put in 30 a day. If the ROs weren't fucked it wasn't to tough to do. We had a forklift though. And we used a roofing nailer to nail them. We had to seal them all to with this black rubber/tar tape and caulk. My toolbags and level are still all covered with caulking. And no, not anything to do with cock, perves.
You should really shim them all on the bottom. Did they make the RO's to short for shimming?
Were they vinyl?
Vinyl windows suck. Its about impossible to get them perfect. Its funny to because they always say, "Quality" somewhere on the sticker.
If they are two windows mulled together make sure you shimmed under the mullions so the middle of the window doesn't sag. Unless of course it is sitting on the sill plate nicely because you didn't shim any of it.

I didn't realize WLMD was supposed to be you. I thought he was propositioning Doc. Isn't wanderlust one word?
Firefox seems to think so.
So yeah, WMD. Good thing you picked up on it I guess.
