Who Have You Met??

“"Mr. T"!?!?

oh! De humiliation!

Now I'm disgruntled!!


That chili sure sounded tasty, but it sounded like a 6-hour drive.”

“That chili was the best by far I have ever tasted!! I'm not sure how he did, I had to leave before the final judging.”

“I'm sorry to have missed it, but I have to get this project done before next week. Glad you had a good time though, bpbaby!”

“OK I'll be respectful

Hasteen Tilt. That better?”

“I thought that it was Hosteen Tilt? You are like, 75 years old, right?”

“Hasteen?

Hosteen?

What the flock? LOL Is it a proper name, a 'form of address' er somethin'? No matches for either one at OneLook Dictionaries.


I seem to be aging more rapidly than before, but 75!? jeeez.”

“Nah, Y'all got it all wrong..Tilt is over 40, but still eye candy..trust me

Now if we could just get him off this TT list and out on the trail...lol”

“"eye candy"...

Yeah, Right! LOL”

“well..in the pictures I saw of you, I thought you were eye candy!

Just say thanks, Ma'am, aw shucks and move along....

;-)

Tex”

“Aw shucks!”

“'tis a term of respect.”

“Well shucks again! <VBG> What language is that?

It's definitely an improvement. I'd really hate having to hike everywhere with all those gold chains around my neck!”

“What-the... bling-bling?

I'm still working on stupid fresh.”

“an example of bling-bling, for the gangsta-lingo impaired...

“Shirley you jest! I still have the the original 45 by The Jaggerz...

PEDXING!

And, yes, we are both too tired to type a trip report, now. Too much vertical gain followed by too steep a decline. Suffice it to say, for now, it was beautiful.”

“Get a room!”

“12 countries in 5 months ,mileage ??? and alot of it living out of a pack. Met too many people to count”

“Now, can I go back to being the elusive and unaccounted for Dunadan?”

“You are good to go....until October.”

Supposed to meet Violin at Campmor y'day, but I got there early and he got there late.”

“Just evergreen... been on a few hikes w/her ,,,she is the best!”

“"Supposed to meet Violin at Campmor y'day, but I got there early and he got there late."

His foot was bothering him and he had some kind of a problem with his pack.”

“Gonna meet Phaedrus for a beer in about an hour.”

“One beer? Good guy and he is not kleetn.”

“Here is my new list (Awesome!) and my little eval. of ea. TTer. I actually posted this on the Newgirl's Backcountry thread, but it's easier to cut and paste. I'm so glad I can finally have a substantional post on this thread.

Aero - great guy, introduced me to the pace that I will continue to use on future bp trips, kinda' a liarhead about how far to the next break (lol), great legs (just saying, hehehe)

Briar Rabbit - really nice, good conversation, wisely reminded me to take a few seconds to scan behind myself every once in awhile when hiking out by myself, total '80's baby (hehehe)

Crazy Mike - trail name could not be more accurate, super upbeat, made me feel really good about the pace I was keeping and how well I hauled newbie arse up that mtn., again trail name could not be more accurate (could prolly add something about insanity, I guess)

Chief - generously hauled a keg around for us, isn't afraid of driving the freakin' Beartooth highway w/ a beer in hand (I'm afraid to drive it period, so I was in awe of this), pretty quite in person


Geezr - first of all, Geezr my butt, this guy can hiiiiike, very informative, sorta' takes on the "Dad lookin' out for you thing" (which was actually nice)

Gojo (and co.) - a FLIRTER, very fun and funny, really supportive, got special Montanapalooza patches made for everyone (cool)

Hodgeman of BC - great conversation, good pack fitting advice, generous

Jerbear - Holy Mac and Cheese Batman, veeery gooood guy, good lookin', good talkin', great supporter, all around amazing guy

Naviguesser - jokester, punster, fun guy who definitely understands the importance of hiking one's own hike

Om - I have never met a nicer, more calming, beautiful individual, Om says it all

Pepperdog - very generous, seems to be a simple, straight forward lady, lots of fun

SB - had a lots of great talks about my daughter and his granddaughter (same age), I really welcomed this 'cause I missed Newergirl, thanks SB

SnowDude - kick a$$ guy, total blast to hang out w/, very knowledgeable on bping, made me feel great about my hydration abilities (he congratulated me several times for all the pi$$ing I was doing, thanks SnowDude)

SnowNymph - kick a$$ gal, totally kicks all forms of a$$ (Crazy Mike wore off on me), the goddess of bping

Tex - this lady gots the spunk, great conversation, made me feel really confident

Thanks to all of them. They rock!"”
