Tom Rankin

Thank you for the green-spot endorsement, Tom -- I appreciate your thoughtfulness! I also appreciate your like-mind when it comes to appropriate uses for cellphones in the wilderness and cellphone info in trail reports. Best regards, Steve

Thanks Tom I hope it's all good for you and Laurie, maybe we'll have a chance to do some adk 3k's together again soon. Catskills maybe ? We'll be there in august maybe, but I think it's BL weekend. Anyway, have fun this summer !

They sign the checks.

software engineer is my official title, but I do not consider myself an engineer! IBM does Though

OOOOHNOOOOO!!!! What did I do? You're an Engineer!

Is that anything like a scientist or researcher?

Soo you want to be my friend? Cool God: bless, help, take pitty on you. Don't let the sense of humor scare you off.

Thank you for the green square, Tom. I appreciate your kindness!

Tom, It was great to finally meet you and Laurie! I have always enjoyed reading your posts and look forward to getting on some NY peaks as a result of the reports! Thanks for the greenie and sorry I didn't recognize you on the way up Washington! Guess I must not be paying attention to enough web photos or the circle of acquaintances is getting bigger than the gray matter can take in!

doh! I think I did see rain in the forecast!

I sure wouldn't mind one of those special orange vftt shirts like timmus has!
Thursdays weather is looking iffy! We can play it by ear!

Hey Tom,
How are you and Laurie.
Looking to open an account on VNBs...can't seem to figure it out...despite the fact that I'm one 750ml Hennepin down. Does the home page have a link to establishing a username/password?
Talk soon. Thanks.

Oh goodness....I don't know if I can take the pressure, JIM!

Thanks for the Green pat on the back, Tom. Much appreciated.

Yahoo! Nice to meet you too!

Nice to finally meet you! I ended up flying across the Cats, which left me with time to climb Moriah in the afternoon. Single season spring 48 complete... woot!

It could happen!

whoa, could it be possible? we might actually meet?

Next saturday, we are hiking Vose Spur. You guys are welcome to join us! Sent you a pm! I know I mentioned the Woodstock for an after gathering, but I didn't know where you guys were hiking/staying when I suggested that venue. There is also the Moat Mntn Brewery!! YUMMY! We are staying in Crawford Notch, so suggesting Moat is enlightened self interest on my part....

Thanks..imagine that. Guess I need to hike more !
I have a four day weekend the first weekend of June, saturday through tuesday off. I have tentative plans to hike with a friend in the catskills that saturday, unless I can get down there sooner. I'll be hiking the 13/14 too -- maybe Vose and Scar Ridge. Not sure yet. Hopefully we can get together! Even just for a beer and some campfire chat. It would be great to see the two of you again!

Tom,
Just did my first VNB hike/beer with ColdFeet...John Harvards and Caumsette. Will sign up asap.
Any idea what time we're meeting next Saturday?
Be well.
