If you're lucky, she stealthily follows you to the crag like she does to me...

I can't help it. Stalking is in my nature and you seem like a good target.

Good and willing. Thanks for your cooperation.

Perhaps team suck needs to study the Rick Weber publication, BoltingRed17.pdf and the companion guide Cleaningbook_V1.pdf.
If they had studied these publications they would realize that ONLY authorized route developers should be replacing anchors and bolts with brackets in the red. I'm pretty sure that they can get their "qualified and authorized route developer merit badge" from troop leader Weber at one of his many "teach all the gumbies to bolt clinics".


Once again, thanks Rick for all your awesome hard work and effort in quantifying and regulating our sport. If it wasn't for guys like you..... well shit I'm not sure what I would do.

Because of you Rick, I've been inspired to work towards this merit badge:
The world citizenship merit badge.

And this one, the useless publications merit badge:

Buster, after all your stories, I think you earned the Girl Scout High Adventure Award! Congrats! Pinning ceremony this weekend at Lynaugh's - Sunday after church of course.

I already have that one, Meadows. Sheeeesh!

I am shooting for the plumbing merit badge. I think people around here who are clogged up (or otherwise have plumbing problems) may appreciate that.




Requirements for the Plumbing merit badge:

i) Do the following:
1. Describe how a properly working plumbing system protects our family's health and safety.
2. List five important local health regulations related to plumbing and tell how they protect health and safety.
3. Describe the safety precautions you must take when making home plumbing repairs.

ii) Do the following:
1. Make a drawing and explain how a home hot- and cold- water supply system works. Tell how you would make it safe from freezing.
2. Make a drawing and explain the drainage system of the plumbing in a house. Show and explain the use of drains and vents.
3. Show how to use five important plumber's tools.
4. Identify and describe the use of each of the following: washer, retaining nut, plunger (rubber force cup), solder, flux, elbow, tee, nipple, coupling, plug, union, trap, drainpipe, and water meter.
5. Name the kinds of pipe that are used most often in a plumbing system. Explain why these pipes are used.
6. Cut, thread, and connect two pieces of steel pipe.
7. Under the supervision of a knowledgeable adult, solder three copper tube connections using a gas torch. Include one tee, two straight pieces, and one coupling.

8. Do the following:
1. Replace a washer in a faucet.
2. Clean out a sink or lavatory trap.

I earned the President's Physical Fitness All-American Award- all you have to to do run, jump, sit-up, throw-up and eat a softball.

Buster,
After ignoring your last four or five goading personal attacks on me in this forum, I’ve decided (maybe unwisely) to answer your latest poke:

No suggestion or reference is made in this booklet to “authorizedâ€

oh crap Rick..you took the bait. you should know by now that Buster has "zero" interest in modicum, truth, honesty, veracity or any other big city word. that is the true definition of an old crusty. old fat out of shape saps bangin the drum of a foregone world where they ruled and others drooled. now that they are one year closer to taking the dirt nap, anger, fear and loathing are much better tactics than actually continuing to provide constructive input into the community.

how do I know all this? because I, too, am very close to drooling on myself and being pissed off that the new generation is warming up on my projects. my unhappy disposition is only alleviated by the supreme glory I derive from being "pigsteak" on here....Buster just happens to be one bladder bag closer to eternal demise than I.

hope that helps. it isn't personal.

it's because he's a ginger and therefore has no soul.
