And only $48 to ship to Continental US if ordered on line, Prior has a new 164 in stock listing out at $734.

John, I feel your pain - went thru that recently on a diffent product but similar complaint. I personally would pretend I am looking at the board for the very first time and ask myself is the board I see worth the $$$ I paid including the loss of $$ in shipping charges. If you beleive it is then ride it and forget the past, if you have any hesitation it is not worth the $$$ then send it back and look more for a Happy board.. it may be a PITA now but well worth the time to get what you want with a smile on your face. ( BTW - I'd send it back) Good luck - Also 4WD board is an awesome ride.

Hi Mike -- I wll be there for the day and the dinner -- To whom shall I send the advance dinner money and address. Thanks for all your work on this event Al

Here is Olympus Ebay list of cameras in case anyone is interested.. http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&dfsp=1&catref=C12&from=R10&satitle=stylus&sacat=29997%26catref%3DC6&sadis=200&fpos=98006&sabfmts=1&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&seller=1&sass=olympusauctions&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&fgtp=

I am in Seattle so we'll have to wait till July for a Sunny Photo - Couple of things I did not mention it has a manometer so you know how high you are on the mountain and it is CrushProof also-- and It is 33 feet depth of water not 28. It is funny when I got the camera it showed how to clean it -- basically run it under water and slosh it around to get the dirt off. With a 1 gig xD card I have storage of 2450 photos @ 1280 x 960 res. My main complaint and it is a small one and really the only one- is the flash is a little weak. I usually force a flash in all photos outside so I miss having a powerful flash but I guess for its size one must compromise somewhere. PM emaill me and I can send you a couple of sample photos-- tell me what resolution you'd like. I does macro very well with a built in LED for lighting. http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1287

CarveDog -- I know you said above you'd lke a CF card - this camera uses xD card and it is so good I thought I'd mention it anyway - sorry it does not fit all your requirements. But it is a Olympus Stylus 770SW. Small compact flat but here is the best part -- it is FreezeProof, ShockProof, WaterProof to about 28 feet, so for snowboarding, hiking, biking, fishing ect... It fits the bill. I keep it in my front pocket and do not have to worry about the elements causing damage even if I fall on it. I bought mine off of Ebay thru Olympus Auctions which offers reconditioned cameras at a great price and warranty. CYA

Cliff Hanger is another one -- Stallone's worst but aren't they all. just look at the goofs on this POS. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106582/goofs

Looks like I am glad I did not go-- I'd be leaving about now and I-90 has been closed for days due to tooooooooooooo much snow, I'd be stuck in eastern Washington and that would suck! They have no idea when it can open...the ski resorts are buried in snow and can't open.

Have you tried some of the local tech schools offering Graphic Programs... some starving student maybe your ticket to ride -- pun intended

I saw this photo of a Washington D.C. elementary class and thought I'd share. Odd how some look like.... well I dunno you be the judge.

Help sent - he can now graduate

$82 US from here. http://www.blue-tomato.at/en/ProductDetailAction.bto?selectedNode=etmBTnqyc5xUEBWgen8Aie-1

Look at NSTR -- I almost bought $10,000 worth in Oct when it was $12.

I PM'd him with the solution -

+1 on the Saddle and specially Peak to Creek which is a long run with 5300 feet of vertical drop - just did those a couple of days ago. Head over to Blackcomb for bliss. Ride Solar Coaster chair to the top and ride the run you see below your chair back to Solar Coaster before the crowds show up, then go to top of Seventh Heaven go left off the chair around the hut, drop into the Glacier where you have an enjoyable ride heading towards the end of Glacier chair timing your entry and exit thru T Bar groove, where you see a road highlited by green and blue discs, stay on or near the road till you run into Ridge Runner - rest for a bit and carve the hell out of Ridge Runner till your legs get tired at the bottom. It is a very long enjoyable ride cuz you just rode about 2 miles and dropped 3000 + feet vertical without a chair ride. You'll be smilin at the bottom and you legs will be groaning.

Here is a good one... If you figure it out don't say why or how it works in a reply post. Have some fun with your fellow carvers and not say how it works since it is a pretty easy --JUST SAY I FIGURED IT OUT! in your reply :smashfrea:biggthump:biggthump:lol::lol: http://www.milaadesign.com/wizardy.html

Kill Bill-- comes to mind.

Try doing a "Save As" with a new file name and see if then it saves the new re-sized image .

I changed the link so it comes up in US Dollars. FYI --

Don't know where you are buying but try here -- these guys are good and speak english and ship quick. I have purchased many items thru them including a F2 board. The link should come up with all F2 bindings and then you can go anywhere including boards and other items. Great alpine shop, Once there you can change to US dollars if it does not show that way. http://www.blue-tomato.at/ProductTreeAction.bto?thirdNode=&selectedNode=Ausyv7p2jrqPEBWgen8Aie-142&secondNode=Ausyv7p2jrqPEBWgen8Aie-142&rootnode=6zIaWg64jrqPEBWgen8Aie-142

Time to add to this post... I'd like to know if the snow sticks to the surface on your polished beautiful boards more or less than the traditional board tops. Or possibly no difference. Good job all of you that took the time to make your prize more of a prize.

any of y'all going to be up there? I will keep my good eye out for ya if you are. I'll be in all black clothes on my Orange Renntiger GS 178:biggthump

:lol: Chili Cook-Off This is an actual account as relayed to paramedics at a chili cook-off in Texas. Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you pay attention to the first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better. In Texas, they actually have a Chili Cook-off about the time Halloween comes around. It takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the San Antonio City Park. Judge #3 was an inexperienced Chili taster named Chuck, who was visiting from Pinehurst, NC. Chuck: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at The judge's table, asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy; and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted and became Judge 3." Here are the scorecard notes from the event: CHILI # 1 - MIKE'S MANIAC MONSTER CHILI Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick. Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild. Judge # 3 (Chuck) -- Holy crap, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy. CHILI # 2 - AUSTIN'S AFTERBURNER CHILI Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang. Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously. Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face. CHILI # 3 - FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI Judge # 1 -- ! Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good use of peppers. Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting ****-faced from all of the beer. CHILI # 4 - BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing. Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili. Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. This 300 lb. woman is starting to look HOT ... just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac? CHILI # 5 - LISA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive. Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement. Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted, and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really ticks me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw them. CHILI # 6 - VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers. Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, garlic. Superb. Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I crapped on myself when I farted, and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Sally. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my butt with a snow cone. CHILI # 7 - SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers. Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. ***I should take note that I am worried about Judge # 3. He appears to be a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably. Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing it's too painful. Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach. CHILI # 8 - BIG TOM'S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending,! this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence. Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor feller, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot Chili? Judge # 3 - No Report

Dr D -- lookin like I may not come next week... too much packed into too little time. But still working on it.. Cold as hell here Too -- 5 deg up top of Whister and 15 deg at Crystal Mt.

Agree - and I think it applies to the nylon tires of the 60-70s. Todays tires are not affected by flat spots - :);):D:sleep:
