My goal this year is to find a dedicated group of individuals that want to go out backcountry ski pretty much every sunday of the winter.  I am new to backcountry but I am taking a 3 day avalanche course in December and would expect that you would have had similar training.
 
So if there are any established groups of backcountry skiers that wouldn't mind an extra, or if you are interested in going skiing/boarding then please let me know.  I am the type of person though that will bring the grill up in the back of the car on those days that the snow is not that good and grill in the parking lot.
 
This will be a great way to stay in shape during the winter.

Amen to that.  That was some excellent scrambling.  And it's hard to imagine that we'd have been able to gather critical mass for a lot of teams.  It just wouldn't have been the same, I'd have to say.

So, thanks to everyone who found us fields.

Hi all!
I'll post again to the list instead of just to the lost and found:

I picked up a 'bomb disposal' hat left at the fields at sectionals.. . If it's yours, let me know... If not, I just scored a great hat.

Someone picked up my Potlatch 2009 disc at sectionals. It's pretty distinctive, has a blue banana spray painted on the back. If it mistakenly migrated into someone's bag or was picked up on the field after I mistakenly abandoned it, please let me know. Much appreciated! :)

Otherwise, hope you all have a nice holiday!!

Hi GRU,

When I got home from the Tournament yesterday I noticed there was a set of keys in my bag.  They have a F-16 plan on them and appear to be for a Honda.  Not sure how they ended up in my bag, but if anyone comes looking for them please let me know.

I set down a pair of fairly new Puma cleats near the A league final's fields at
the league tournament in Longmont today and somebody walked off with them.

If you could please leave me a ransom note or perhaps a box of girlscout cookies
in return, I would appreciate it.  Or if you could at least wear my next pair
for me past the blister causing break in period so I don't have to go through it
again, this would also be acceptable.

Thank you,

dear geoff,
i don't think you'll be disappointed with the ultimate here year-round.  there are no winter leagues.  i have no idea about colorado springs, but there is weekly pick-up in denver, boulder, and golden.  when are you moving here?  i can send you times and locations of games, if you'd like.  saturday outdoor pick-up in denver, sunday outdoor pick-up in boulder, monday indoor pick-up in golden, and tuesday and thursday indoor pick-up in boulder.  there is also at least one regular pick-up for goaltimate, but i'm not 100% when and where.
when you say you are looking to play competitive, do you mean league or club?  men's or coed?  either way, i think you'll get your fill.

The Savage Seven tournament in Pueblo this weekend has been changed to a 1 day, Saturday only tournament, so now you can play in the tournament on Saturday and still make league on Sunday.  Games start at 9:00 and will be done by 5:00.  2 teams are still looking for men and women.

    Man I love you guys!  Thanks for keeping the dream alive...or something like that.  I must admit that this was probably the single most entertaining and memorable incident to happen on the gru list.  And it just keeps on giving.  It is great! 

    The second would be the woman that basically verbally assulted me and sent a plethra of spam to the list because I said I hate stupid plague infested prairie dogs, but the tent incident still blows that out of the water.  Now that I think about it, maybe she just sent all those emails to me personally and not the list.  I don't really know because I deleted them almost instantly after making it part way through the first email.  I didn't have time to read several novels from a woman who misunderstood my point and insulted me.  Tyson, what are your current feelings towards those birds of prey?  Do you still stand strong?

    Anyway, did anyone ever end up meeting "tent man", or did he quickly tuck tail and run?  And JB, why are you not posting anymore.  Your brilliant wit is truly missed.

    Ask, and it shall be given thee.

    Yes, I actually have GRU emails dating back many years. And much to my
    happy surprise, a quick search for "tent" turned up the original
    message. So here, for the reading pleasure of those GRU members who
    aren't old and crusty and have been around for all these years, I
    present the original email thread that started the tent legend.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    06/12/2005 - Some guy named Ritchie writes to the GRU chat list:

    Hi all,
             I'm going to Wakarusa Music Fest. this Thursday to Monday and
    was wondering if I could use a tent {moved out here in a 2door sentra,
    and gave all my gear away, and brought photo albums instead} Of course
    I'd buy you a new tent if anything happened to it.
                                 Thanks RItchieeeeee

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    After two days of silence, Ritchie writes again:

    almost 600 members and none are willing to help another out. SHAME ON
    YOU !!!! ONE WAS IN NEED AND ON ONE ANSWERED THE CALL

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    Grady strikes back:

    apparently no one could feel the love you're giving...

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    Ritchie responds:

    There was much love and faith on Sunday when I first asked for
    help,,,but after three days and no-one willing to help out, I'd want
    people to know what kind of people are on this list in case they every
    need anything, they'll know this is not the place to find kind folks,
    sorry

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    Sandy Zeller puts the hammer down:

    Do you even play ultimate frisbee? Are you signed up for summer league?
    If you were you would know what kind of people are on this list and how
    wonderful and giving we are to those we know.

    This is not the place to insult everyone, especially if you just moved
    here...what a wonderful first impression you've made on all "600" of
    us.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    Jeff Scott jumps in:

    Pardon me, but as the moderator of this group, please refrain from
    coming into our group/community accusing "us" of no help, love or
    kindness. Perhaps the world (or GRU chat) doesn't revolve around you;
    as everyone didn't drop what they were doing to respond promptly with
    offers of a tent. Take your bitterness to another group of loveless,
    helpless, kindless people.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    And Jeff Bryant finishes the job:

    richie -
    thank you so much for opening my eyes to the type of people on this
    list. i was under the misguided impression that they were some of the
    coolest and most helpful people i've ever known. alas, i was proven
    wrong by their unwillingness to give stuff to some random who spams
    them with a mass email.

    bastards.

    yet it all adds up - a couple months ago, i emailed the list asking for
    a houseboat. i got NO LOVE, thus proving your point. and don't even
    bother asking these f#ckers for a foot massage.
     
    but you'll find it's not limited to this email list. the whole town is
    seriously LOVE deprived. for example, the other day i gazed upon my
    lawn and noticed how sparse it was. so i went over to my neighbor's
    place and moved his pink flamingos to my yard. they looked so
    beautiful and i was quite pleased. i felt like the prettiest girl at
    the ball. but when the SOB got home, he showed me NO LOVE. and he had
    the nerve to ask for the flamingos back.

    HELLO!! NOT HELPFUL!!
     
    it's gotten so bad, that recently i had to get a job just so i could buy
    my own stuff. ugh. this place is crazy!!
     
    anyway, you have provided a shining example of LOVE and KINDNESS. one
    can only hope it begins to rub off on the heathens who comprise

    p.s. if you still need a tent, just follow Hutton around - he pops one
    at anything that moves. (of course, there's only enough space to sleep
    a small bug, so hopefully you're a little dude.)

    Thus was the meme born. And every time it comes up, it still makes me
    chuckle.

    Good times.

    OMG!! I was chuckling out loud (COL/LOL?) as I read this! Careful what you ask for but thanks, Jeff, for sharing that. Going on 5 years old and it still lives. Whatever, whoever Richie is, was, man you gotta admit there's a TON of love in GRU!

    P.S. ANY parties Saturday night? Can't be too sober if there's a tourney on Sunday.

    Haarburger, what do you need a tent/sleeping bag for? I thought you
    marsupials slept down under the night sky snug as a bug in your own
    pouches while the billy boils.

    Geoff,

    Also, if you are looking for someone to, uhhh, "show you around town", as the kids say, it sounds like Milano is available.  She's pretty awesome, although she does have the occasional problem with hitting 'Reply to All' inadvertently.

    Love,
