Happy New Year

Happy holidays from the Cleavers!!! I hope everyone has had a great holiday season. I am about to take on the assembly of the cataraft frame and get her set up for the next day over 50 deg F so we can take her out. I got the ITCH and I don't think any ointment will help.

Another beautiful Xmas in So Cal.

Can't touch D in a box, but here goes.

We hit Silver Mt. in Kellog for Christmas. 7 new on 9 old soft soft soft and carvy. Roster: Team Stockman (a one planker and an alpiner), Jester (alpiner), Mikey (telly wus), and Dillon Keith (retro alpiner). We were so busy skiing, I forgot to take pictures. These are of the Bowl on the 26th.

We skied bell to bell and loved every minute.

Highlights: Looking back uphill on the first run and seeing the rest of the roster ripping the fn sht out of some powder. Getting to the top of an 8 minute hike and hearing Mikey bitch. Skiing the best line of the day after listening to Mikey bitch about where I brought him. Jumping over an "out of bounds" rope and clearing it by two inches. 360. Getting to the bottom of what was supposed to be our last run, nodding to eachother and getting back on the chair without a word. Gange ola.

Jose Cuervo Christmas Cookies

1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
1 cup lemon juice
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila

Sample the Cuervo to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo
again, to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink.

Turn on the electric mixer...Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.

Add one teaspoon of sugar...Beat again.
At this point it's best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup .... just in case.

Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 eggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit, Pick the
frigging fruit off floor... Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with
a drewscriver. Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.

Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who giveshz a sheet. Check the Jose Cuervo again for consistancy.
Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner.
Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.

REGULATE THE RIVERS!!!!

For My Democrat Friends:

"Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere, and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes.

For My Republican Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Poker? Hardly Know Er!

I can't believe no one has put up anything on this.

Poker Joe up your ass.

Opinions are like assholes. Way to safely skirt the middle, Missoulian. Applause. God forbid you take a stand. Jesus.

LONG LIVE THE MONTANA STREAM ACCESS LAW, even if we have to shoot ourselves out of cannons to access state waters.

Yeah, I am surly. It is slow around here and they are drilling in the walls behind my head. There is a great sticker on a cooler that sums it up for me "FUCK WORK!"

DO YOU KNOW THIS GUY?

His name is Ralph Heinert and is a Republican legislator from Libby. He is also the ass-face that is proposing/sponsoring legislation to implement a permit system for floating Rock Creek in Granite Co. As you all know, when there is a permit system, there are implementation and administrative costs, so there will need to be fees. Here is the link to the bill:
http://laws.leg.mt.gov/pls/laws07/LAW0210w$BSIV.ActionQuery?P_BILL_DFT_NO5=LC0972&Z_ACTION=Find


As proven above, the Groove is not lying to you. Potentially next spring you will have to be rewarded a permit and then pay fees to float Rock Creek. Float fishing the salmon fly hatch could be a thing of the past, or similar to getting a July Middle Fork Salmon Permit. So you ask what you can do about this...write/talk to your legislators and get this bill stopped! Maybe Jester can get something published and even interview this pole-smoker.

Remember, if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem!
