Mans! The Forums Is the Dead!

It took another hour and a half but eventually they got it fixed. We are now looking into restricting their access to those servers to pre-authorized times.

This is actually the second vendor we have had to do this to.

I have partaken in the act of dumpster-diving (not to be confused with swamp-diving.)

At Stars Appt I was taking out some trash when I discovered a cache of goods tossed in with the bads. Someone had decided to throw out some twenty + year old dye-cast trucks like some that my Grandpa used to collect (nabbed them for my Grandma) as well as some random computery junk (and a copy of SimCity.) But best of all were two length of climbing rope. Each 60m long and 10.5mm in diameter. These two ropes look to have had very little use and would cost $100+ each (not sure on what qualifications they have yet) I wanted to keep looking to see if there was any other gear in there, but alas, we were late leaving to see a house that Star had an appointment for (That they had already rented and didn't bother calling to tell us.)

Update:
From the writing on the caps of the ends of either rope...
Blue one is a Blue Water Accelerator.
And the grey one is a New England Maxim EN 892

I need to learn what to do with it, but I can now climb something....

I have been wanting climbing rope for as long as I have been doing climbing. That is a nice find...especially for being in a dumpster. You have to wonder why someone would throw it out. I remember being appalled at the prices when I looked ages ago. If ever you happen to want to use them for climbing purposes, I have a fairly nice harness and other related gear you could use if you have none. I am not overly fond of heights these days...

[Nick]

We need to find a cave system to hike to and repel into :-)

[Brad]

Nice find! Now I guess you need to take up mountain climbing!

Who the heck throws out climbing rope? Sheez even if you aren't going climbing anymore rope can always be used for something.

[Nick]

We all have a theory that involves an angry girlfriend/wife. Or, sadly, someone passed on. Or someone moved out and was lazy.

[Nick]

I want one:

That is pretty awesome! So...you want the car, the drone, or both? Haha
Also, one of my favorite TSFH songs.

Yes.

[Cody]

Speaking of which, (cars...not drones) I started using one! Though using one of those things might be more fun.

[Nick]

Awesome! Finally got your license?

[Cody]

Haha no not yet but I actually got myself to drive on the road. If I actually keep driving it probably won't be long though.

[zourtney]

Do it.

Happy Valentine's Day. Do you say that to your friends? I don't really know. Perhaps it is just one of those things about holidays...feeling the need to wish a happy one to everyone else. Either way it seemed like a good excuse to say something on the forums.

[Nick]

Happy VD to you to!

This nice weather makes me want to get out and do something. Hike or bike or whatnot.
