SP scratched his eye.

You scratched your <bleep>.

Besides it's just kinda assumed with you Fudd-like northeasterners. Us westerners are made of sterner stuff.

BS, I’m from Western Pa.

An example. When Northern Dave came west, he was quickly afflicted with a malady he termed Baboon Ass and then, in a fit of easternness, HE POSTED ABOUT IT!

I can neither confirm nor deny that westerners might or might not on occasion fall victim to this "Baboon Ass". But if we did, in a moment of weakness, hypothetically, find ourselves in this most uncomfortable predicament, would we post about it?! No. We would not.

Well, yet you seem to think it appropriate-falsely, I may add-to accuse another Western native of having cankles. At which time-again,I might add-he seemed, and rightly so, to take great offense. And now, you want to run another Westerner-Western Pa remember-down for mentioning they had an uncomfortable case of the roids. Just whose side are you on? And "we" you say. Just who are the others?

yes, but it's not cheap

smoke- too bad on the cornea; a millennia ago when I was logging I got a wood chip coming out of my saw at warp speed right into my eye, damaged my cornea- they put drops in in to get my eye dilated and had to wear a pirates patch for about a week; agree very painful injury! I wore a screen on my hard hat after that incident.

well you got into elk, that's a success in my book

Hit the trails with Tiny E, 5 miles w/ ~ 1400' of gain and 45#s on my back, today was the first day (in about 10 days now of hitting it w/ the pack) that it didn't feel too bad- that's a win

Yeah, me too, following Toby through those nasty russian olive trees.

I'm glad to see you admit to using 'roids though, I knew you had to be using some kind of supplements.

And it’s amazing that I’m still such a congenial individual with out anger issues. This parted hair on my nose is one of the few giveaways.

In the West, we call a cankle a cankle. Man, woman, kids and grandmas.... it don't matter.

It's possible SP ain't far enough west. The stuff just gits sterner the further you go.

That, the bug-eyes, and the bar code tattooed on the back of your neck......

Ah, your so funny. You get a look at these massive 14 inch guns, and you won’t be so quick with the SA quips....

Climbed the locally legendary Mount Baldy (it's a knob) which is about 350 tall steep wooden stairs to the top. Was definitely feeling it in the quads. Then we hiked about 4 miles in the wooded dunes nearby. The woods here are very different than PNW woods which is fun. Headed home tomorrow.

Walked ~ 5 flat miles

5 miles of hill training with Tiny Elvis; left the pack at home- sand is out of the pack and it's getting loaded up for a backcountry elk trip Thursday evening

You packing your snowshoes?
Calling for 3’+ in some areas.

Right on! Good luck!

I'll be hunting a spike tag (bleah) in eastern Oregon this year, as much to be with the guys as anything. We hunt the North Fork John Day Wilderness area but we car-camp outside the boundaries and hike in. I have done a couple minimalist overnighters in order to be at a special spot at dawn on opening day but I won't be doing that for a spike tag. Next year is when it gets interesting- I'll have enough points for a Hells Canyon bull tag, which is a quality tag, and from being there this spring, I have acouple spots all picked out, both about a 10-mile pack into where I'd base camp, at least initially.

A very long winded way of saying I'm jealous and I will be rooting for you.

Jeff- thanks!

Ed- could be a record short trip; we'll be on the west side, but still a chance of significant snow

!!!!!!! It;s been hot here, got back in the gym yesterday.

4 miles on the trails this evening with Tiny E

Good luck Mike

Good luck Mike.
I’d rather be in the Bob than in Havre, which is where I am tonight. Although a Ruben and a couple PBurg IPA’s makes it OKAY.
