Actually... I didn't burn the shirt.
I am still, however, looking for a creative way to "modify" my Bush/Cheney Shirt Fatty gave me the year before.
And you should see the looks on peoples faces when I bust these shirts out. The steer clear of me and then start to warm to the idea "no way... no fricking way is that guy that dumb".
It's a collectors item and I'm sure it'll be worth good money one day.

couchmaster, check this out:
Somebody gave me this last week- they belonged to a guy who ran an outdoor program at a school who passed away last year. As they cleaned out all of his old stuff, they came across it and gave it to me. Pretty trashed, but kinda cool anyway- esp. the old Chouinard hammer.
Hey! I'm helping to hijack my own thread!

Great transition to something of interest Apogee. LOL!
Jstan - YES, the tag came with, says $6.00. There was a whole rack of them in the Mountain Shop at the time, perhaps 12 years ago. Fella named Wayne bought the place and found them stuffed in a corner of the basement.

I just think all these pictures of nailing gear look pretty right wing to me.
Guns, Opulence, and Pitons, the three Horsemen of the GOP!
I used to think Fatty at least got a tax write-off for posting here, but would be regarded as a lazy internet employee by the grand party

Just passing through is Jody? I seem to recall that Jody, what ever you thought of his politics, always posted cool shots of the mountains.
Pitons are more interesting anyway.
I hope we chased the JPT guy off.

Did Karl say guns?
Here's a Wilson Combat Protector in .45 caliber and the new Prototype Cilogear Big Wally.
With an ice axe to keep it real. What a long strange trip that was. all we needed was 3 sheep, a midget and 50 gallons of Crisco oil.

I'm telling you guys, we are being played.
Skip- you know the saying- just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not after me.

Suppose to be a purebred Jack Russell Terrier. This size is called a "Pudden Jack". Evidently, the regular Jacks would freeze their butts off in the winter and so they crossed it with a long haired Dachshund so they could chase small furry things into holes all winter long.
The price was right for this one.....free. But it was a "used" dog.
So was the other one, Hank the Dog. Hanks owner died and he needed a place to crash, that's why he was used.
Here they are with my wife when I stupidly went soloing and came down all beat and left the rack out there and went home. You get tired easier as you age I guess. My wife wanted to go for a hike the next day and see this secret climbing area. It was great, till Hank found some animal which must have been 9 feet under in the boulder field. I could hear him under all the rocks barking and howling in pursuit of some poor hapless animal. Totally invisible and unsure where he was. I was yelling "come come" with extra swear words and everything....to no avail.
Picked up the rack and almost left him.
