^^^^ Nice, Brent. Love the red chopper in your set, and Xavier has a good eye for composition. His pics are exellent.

10,000 ft, Peter? pffft, JP & Mike laugh at a trifling 10k ft, don't you lads? As their manager, I guarantee they will do 5k at 10k in under 22 min. It IS downhill, right? In any case, Vicki, Al, Jeff, + others & I will be in the lodge watching on your respective helmet cams whilst enjoying appropriate beverages. @ Chris - I don't see any fish in that pic.

Salty ... not sure which Nikon body you are using, but most will let you reverse the direction of wheel turn for exposure comp and other settings. Mixed blessing, because as soon as you pick up another Nikon body you are screwed again. I reversed mine on D700 and D7000, though, and it is more natural.

JP is a giver to the end. Somehow, JP + 5K seems an oxymoron, but I guess that was the old JP, not this year's edition. 'grats to you both Mike & John. I'm sure as I type this you are having a celebratory beverage.

Is that JP or Mike, Sr? Only the little girl knows for sure ...

From now on, your Delta name is "Ansel"

x3, Peter. Great flowing water - how long was exposure? Did you shoot it raw, then convert to b&w, or was it just one of those grey days? Excellent work.

Totally ...

Happy Birthday, Smeg.

Happy Birthday, Al. Hope you find time to enjoy the day. Everyone here will sure be thinking of you, and raising a glass in honor of one of HC's finest.

Happy Birthday, Larry. Have a great day.

Happy Birthday, Fitz.

Cyberdyne Systems tee for $4.99.

No time ... busy refreshing my Apple Store page so I can buy. It does look pretty nice, and they're keeping the 2 alive for a while at lower price.

Tenure for Claire ... Yay! Movies at Shelly's ... Yay! Sick people ... not so yay ... get better, and don't sneeze on the rest of us.

Happy Birthday to a great HC'er. Have a great day, Nate, and thanks for everything.

Nate ... ok., I'll admit it, I MISS SNOW! Dammit, I like a good storm with 20" or so to dig out from, then slap on the boards for a little x-country. That's what your great pic of not-so-little-anymorw Lily made me think of. Enjoy it (snow) and those beautiful children CJ - Niagra Falls + woman + you. This doesn't compute. Just remember, those casino are open 24/7, so late flights mean nothing. Get out there and have fun. Congrats on gf, and getting away.

Happy Birthday, and hope you enjoy the day.

Get better everyone. Hope plumber gets that water leak fixed today, Shelly. Jim, Mike, and whomever else needs, I've got some Green Spot I can fax along to ease the pain.

Jeff - I voted for Wed, 8/31, but any day would work for me, since my life now revolves around H-C fantasy league, and crushing all opponents. So, just ignore my vote, and go with what works for the majority.

Good for your dad, Vicki. Yes, cursing out the Tigers definitely a good sign. I bet he's ready to go down there and take over himself. May the recovery continue as well as it started.

Nice ice, jacob.

Happy Birthday, Tyll. All the best to a legend in his own time.

Sweet, Al. Say hey ...

Hear, hear ... with Jim and Shelly on this one. Hearty congrats to the love struck couple. May your future be bright.
