Oh thanks for the tip on the pine, didnt know that.
I think you mean LVL, laminated veneer lumber
PSL- parallel strand lumber
I love ordering super long glu lams as well, makes things nice. I usually just budget in a crane day here and there and come out on top. nice and fast

So now I have visions of the tropics in my head, so I thought I'd share this. Taken from about 25' deep scuba diving near Xcaret, Mexico. If you have never been it's like the mexican disneyland. Anybody else scuba before? Sorry the pic is bad, it's the only one on an entire roll that turned up clear, some waterproof camera that thing was.

Anyways they did this story on Alaska Men, which is basically a magazine that runs personal ads/women wanted ads for guys living in Alaska, since I guess women are hard to come by up there. They were talking to random single Alaska guys, and this one guy comes on. HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT! Speaking of random hot guys..wow. Not *typical* hot guy...but my kind of hot guy.Tall, big broad shoulders, beard, flannel shirt, deep voice, sounded intelligent.
If I were single..I'd be making a trip to Alaska!

right on for the diving man! it was my first time, but it was mexico so they were like "sign this and jump over, you'll be okay..." I did fine, took off real quick to explore, wife stayed on top for most of the time, couldnt get her ears to stop popping, I felt bad for her but not much I could do under the water.

Id love to get into diving too, this past summer I would lay on the swim platform of our new boat and gaze into the water to see what i could see.
I find what is under the water, fascinating.

well I am as far from experienced as they get but I think I prefer the 70-80 degree water. I hear that in my neck of the woods Puget sound here is amazing, but it's like 45 degrees I think. No thanks, I'm good.
