Mega trail magic at Clarendon shelter last night.
Angel dropped off firewood ina little atv.
Few jokes and a quick collection and a little while later and about 12 of us had 30 beers and 18 cokes!

Humorous query on "that" subject though...
The AT has a posted diversion (road walk) due to hurricane Irene damage.
The whiteblazes cannot physically be followed all the way.
By following orange tape for a half mile you can almost follow the whiteblazes.
The orange tape looks like it will be the 2014 trail.
The road walk is longer.
What should a purist do?

We may have to call in a legal team of experts. We're just Poho's doing it ALL wrong.

hb, interesting perspective. quite accurate though. might have something to do with the confidence offered my our technological computator shield that separates us. i gotta be honest, i do not believe i have ever argued about a serious subject whilst hiking. major topics of concern usually involve snoring, bottle or fire pit urinators, and night time spotlights.

Voice recognition takes time. It learns as the operator learns. I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking. It works well i believe. Simple setup. Plenty of errors in the beginning but as it adapts and learns the operator it becomes very efficient.

I had Dragon 5 working pretty good back in 2000. Took about 6 months of pretty steady "learning". Haven't tried any since. Programs are probably a lot better now.

gotta be honest, it is amazing. i am studying emergency response and homeland security and Dragon writes all of papers, searches the internet and recalls files with amazing accuracy and speed. i dunno how i typed before. now if i can only train it to do all this without me, using my ideology and context to reflect my construct.

Cool thing when we met up in the perilous snow, ice and fog that is Salisbury, CT in January :rolleyes:, being mostly a bunch of liberal, commie pinko freaks, we agreed about politics rather than argue. It was who loves the Clintons the most and the like and how much does Coach's voice sound like Mario Cuomo's? That was fun. :D (Not trying to inject politics into the thread, Gator, Good Sir, just noting the good time we had and the remarkable degree of agreement, even the rascally car salesman and the PITA lawyer, both loudmouth misfit malcontents. ;) )

I just upgraded my wife's desk top from Vista to Windows 8 home premium and she loves it. I bought the builders version online for $100 and loaded it, transferred all her music and files over and she took over. She especially likes the apps store. Maybe it helps that I'm in the business but I wouldn't call it a huge learning curve. Within a couple of days she knows more about it than I do. I'm still using window 7.

I think I've done that in the past, myself, and apologize. I plead ignorance; I thought I'd learnt it from your posts, and had no idea you found it objectionable.

I have met others on-line who object to the use of their True Names, but most do so in an attempt to protect their privacy. Few people with that end in mind will use pictures of themselves as their avatars.

FWIW: I'm fine with being just Kevin. My name here simply comes from the fact that everyone knows a Kevin, and people often wind up asking me if I'm the Kevin who.... "No," I tell them, "that's not me. I'm Another Kevin." Those of a certain age will put on a fake Aussie accent and ask, "Mind if we just call you Bruce?" I insist on "Doctor" only when someone tries to pull rank: "Hi, Kevin, I'm Dr. Ruffin!" "Hi, Dirk, I'm Dr. Kenny!"

If I ever try long-distance hiking, a trail name will probably find me. (I wore one briefly in the 1970s. Like everything else I wore in the 1970s, it no longer fits.)

I'm using Widows 7 right now and am looking to upgrading to 8. Actually to getting a new comp. (laptop) my cover on the start button has fallen off and one of the hinge covers fell off one time, my battery doesn't last 20 min. when unplugged. I don't know if any of this has anything to do with how many times it's been dropped but it's time for a change/upgrade. I learned all the other upgrades and with time I'll learn enough to get by with Windows 8. Then 9 will come out.

Just doing the bean counting and trying to work out if it is better to wait and save for a longer holiday next year or to do a quick three weeks next month. Will have to bring up that scenario with my employer which might not be pretty....

my FRIENDS can call me andy

Aw shoot, Hikerboy57, I thought we were having fun. You single out others here for teasing and mockery so often in this thread, and elsewhere, it seemed pretty clear you thought it just good old fashioned sport. Now you're saying you don't like being on the receiving end. I'm sorry to have contributed to your unhappiness.

About the phone call, funny how you took the calls when it was me asking you to let up on me, but when the shoe's on the other foot, you don't take the call. Does that mean you're too sensitive? Or does it mean we all are sensitive, and you, me, everyone else ought to take better care not to insult, disrespect, mock and belittle others here?

Look, Andy, you don't like me, never have - something about me rubs you the wrong way, and you can't help but channel venom in my direction, despite my best efforts. That started from our first interaction where you ridiculed and mocked me personally, two years ago, for asking if it would be possible, reasonable, to get better cell phone service in between Pinkham Notch and Mt. Washington after my first trip to the Whites. It's a hot button issue for you, and it got us off on the wrong foot, and I get the idea it doesn't take much to get on your wrong side for good. I have tried time and again to make peace with you, with little or no give on your part. I hoped that would get better after our group outing last January, where you were great and we all had a good time.

I'm glad we had that nice day together, where I saw a better side of you. I continue to try to remember that more and forget your nasty side. It's too bad you can't bring yourself to treat me better and to stop mocking and teasing me and others whenever you feel like it, regardless of any sense of manners, courtesy or their feelings - I'm one of many people who really don't like that about you; just happen to be the one most willing to confront you about it.

I don't expect you to reform yourself, to bite your tongue rather than to mock when it occurs to you, least of all on account of me. I could easily be friends with the Andy I met in January, he was all right. I'm rooting for him to win that fight between you and yourself you mentioned earlier, but I'm not betting on him.

You wondered in another thread the other day why people leave Whiteblaze, or come less often. I'd bet the sniping and snarking, which you're a professional at, is reason number one. The high degree of moderation we get here would die down if people weren't so nasty.

I'm glad we had that nice day together, where I saw a better side of you. I continue to try to remember that more and forget your nasty side. It's too bad you can't bring yourself to treat me better and to stop mocking and teasing me and others whenever you feel like it, regardless of any sense of manners, courtesy or their feelings - I'm one of many people who really don't like that about you; just happen to be the one most willing to confront you about it.

I don't expect you to reform yourself, to bite your tongue rather than to mock when it occurs to you, least of all on account of me. I could easily be friends with the Andy I met in January, he was all right. I'm rooting for him to win that fight between you and yourself you mentioned earlier, but I'm not betting on him.

You wondered in another thread the other day why people leave Whiteblaze, or come less often. I'd bet the sniping and snarking, which you're a professional at, is reason number one. The high degree of moderation we get here would die down if people weren't so nasty.
i pm'd you and asked you nicely.you persisted.you dont know me.you will never know me.unfortunately,ignore doesnt work on my droid, so i'll just ask you nicely once more to stop using my real name.and dont let the door hit you on the way out.

It's not about your name. It's about confronting you and holding you to account when you're abusive. You can't stand that - all about one-way streets for you, hikerboy57.


and "our group outing" was a 3 day hike with you along for a few hours and lunch. dont remeber seeing you the rest of the weekend.

Yep, I got there Saturday morning b/c I'd just started a new job that Wednesday. Coach and I left at the same time, shuttling you and Elf forward to a spot where you'd be a bit ahead of super-speedy 1azarus on the Mohawk Trail. You act as though it mattered that I was only there part of one day. I was there for part of the outing, as was Coach. I was there as much as my new job, plus my old, on-going one would allow. Just as you are not out thru-hiking as you'd love to be and as I, who wish you well despite your foul attitude and behavior, would love for you to be.

You see, Hikerboy57, I don't need you to lose for me to win. You can be happy, and I'll be happy for you, not resenting you for it. You can make friends here in common with me, even though you refuse to be friends with me or treat me with respect, and I will be happy for you and for them that you have the friendship. That doesn't seem to work in the other direction. For whatever reason, you go on quick-draw with the venom when I'm around, and you can't stand the idea that I might be friends with some of your friends. Not sure if I remind you of some guy who took a gal from you along the way, or what, but it's there.

The world's a big place, and WhiteBlaze is pretty good sized. There's room for us both. And I like some of the people that hang out in your virtual "Cafe", even if I find your attitude unpleasant and you can't stand me. So I'll call you on your b.s. as I see fit, mingle with those I like and who like me, here and elsewhere on WB, and leave you to your bitterness.

My first ever hike on the A.T. Was with scouts when I was about eleven, I carried two quarts of parmalat (which had only recently come onto the market.) On a break we put the unopened quarts in a creek to cool down and naturally they floated over the rocks we had pinned them with and were carried briskly down stream. :datz

I've carried Parmalat but in those small 1 cup boxes. I like Nido best. Found it years ago down in FL. I know the Hispanics really like it and the large population in FL may have something to due with it's availability. It does taste the best but I'll carry whatever I can get my hands. Even the Carnation non-fat stuff.

Had the same problem with the G2 packets. Couldn't fin d them anywhere. Asked about them and was told they were being discontinued. Now they're magically back. I hope it was due to demand and Gatorade listened.
love when they tell you they dont carry it because it doesnt sell.
