I thought it was "ILST?" Technically speaking. Because Tina is still a girl. Now with baby.

Afternoon gents.

Rock climbing? Fook no. I used to do a lot of mountain biking, but i'm not ballsy enough to try rock climbing.

I used to enjoy climbing the fake walls in the gym or rec center on base. Never been much of an actual rock climber though.

Yes. One of my favorite outdoor things. I never did anything with ropes, but I've "free climbed" pretty much every inch of southern Utah. Zion, Snow Canyon, lots of good stuff.
Indoor climbing can be fun with a group, but is generally boring. The appeal of outdoor rock climbing is enjoying the scenery. None of that indoors.

Is there any reason that you don't do it anymore?

I tried it out for the first time a few weeks ago and have been dying to go check out our local gym. I grabbed a groupon for a months membership, but am worried that maybe it'll get boring (?) over time?

Well, two of them will be in school, the youngest doesn't east subs and I'll be going to the gun store/shooting range when the older two get out of school.

I'm not a big Subway fan anyway. We have a lot of really good sub shops down here.

Jealous. I'm taking the lady to get her gun safety course next Monday. One step in the right direction to get her a small arm for her birthday.

I'm in the market for a new gun myself. I'm 90% on something in .45 ACP.

Mornin' errbody.

I'm getting really tired of being sick. I'm averaging about 5-5 1/2 hrs of sleep per night, because my nose keeps clogging up before I need to get up every morning. I hate season changes so so very much.

How's everyone else?

Thats awesome. I can't shoot a .45 worth a damn. A friend of mine can accurately shoot his sideways like a gangster to about 25 feet. Much more if firing it correctly.

Morning Ben. If you want something worse than comcast, try out charter sometime.

It's allergies. My nose and sinuses give me fits year round, so it's near impossible for me not to get sick. It always starts with my nose and the drainage makes me sick. I've been trying for years to find something to control my allergies, but nothing totally takes care of it.

My diet is pretty good actually. At least i'd hope so... i've dropped 45 lbs in 6 months ;)

I don't think one gun is any easier to shoot than another, accept maybe the .22. Other then that, the main difference, to me, is just the frame of the gun. Some guns just feel good in your hand. I find if they're comfortable, I can shoot them far better. Guess that's a no brainer.

I like full steel frame guns, not a huge fan of polymer. They don't give me that "feel" I like. The weight of the full steel frame grants me some comfort and assists with perceived recoil.

I meant the type of food you eat, not so much your caloric count vs burned ratio. I can lose weight and still eat food that will turn off my immune system and stunt proper cell life/death cycles.

I'm no expert on nutrition, I just do a lot of reading. Lately I've been paying closer attention as I don't really want to die of cancer. 1-3 Americans will be diagnosed with cancer and virtually all of us have at least some cancer in us by the time we're 30. All of which results from crap we ingest. The fact that I drink beer and lots of coffee and have for decades pretty much means I have cancer right now. The only way to keep it at bay is to control the foods I eat that will prohibit the cancer from growing and or kill it off.

Damn dude, thats a good chunk of weight! Congrats, keep it up.

I had my first post-nasal drip sickness last year. It SUCKS man, I feel for you.

Makes sense, never thought of it that way. The feeling of a gun is very important! Glocks feel great to me, but so do 1911's. Shotguns always feel the best.
