If You Could Meet Someone From BITOG?

[Jdeere562]

I think @AutoMechanic and @GON would be a hoot to meet, along with many others on my want list.

 

[Pew]

@AutoMechanic so I can show him some properly good chinese food.

 

[methusaleh]

I’d want to meet @k1xv, as a fellow ham and Vermonter.

Unless I’ve already met him at a Burlington or Boston area hamfest

 

[Hillbilly Deluxe]

GON
Astro
Dave Hess

There are a number of members here that, if I ever travel in their direction, I would really like to reach out to and be able to meet them one on one. Yup, there are many here that I actually look forward to seeing them participate in a thread, not only for the knowledge they bring to the table, but also for how well they respect their fellow BITOG members, how helpful they are, their sense of humor, and other things.

 

[Pablo]

@vavavroom for sure
@GON
@53' Stude
@GSCJR

I think @AutoMechanic owes me money or soap or something, so no way.

@Astro14

Pretty much everyone!

There are a good number of members here I would like to meet. I don't want to start naming names because I would almost certainly leave someone out, but it's a very good bunch here.

@BHopkins said it very well.

 

[Pablo]

No way that @Jdeere562 guy. I've heard stories from the womenfolk. Takes their food and never tips!

 

[We're Metals]

@dumkid easily.

Also @Shel_B to help him modify his Camry

 

[Dave Hess]

Maybe have a regional BITOG get together like they had a few years ago.

Meet at a restaurant for food and drinks.

That is untrue. She just texted me yesterday and thanked me for the $100 gift card and cookies. She just found the card in the bag with the clean dishes for her that I returned last week. Said I did not have to do that, because of all the snow blowing I did for her for years.

I wanted to call her, but was on the phone with my Daughter. Her hubby was just coming out of a 5 hour brain surgery. Something growing in there, and they needed some samples for pathology, so they can know how to treat him. Any prayers are welcome.

Tell you what. I am K1XV. Look me up. I am President of the Vermont-New Hampshire Chapter of the quarter Century Wireless Association. We are having a luncheon at the Harpoon Brewery in Windsor VT starting around 11;30am. on May 25. Come if you can. You can contact me via e-mail as listed on QRZ.

No, the avtar is not my real picture.

Will do on the prayers.

The rumor mill will slowly clear up. Obviously they just lumped you in with other BITOGers in the tipping department!

 

[vavavroom]

We could charter a members-only cruise into the icy waters of the Arctic Circle. Cabin fever will make the experience interesting. I won't be touching the horseradish.

 

[vavavroom]

No, the avtar is not my real picture.

That means I can unignore you.

Please fill in Mr Pop Culture Ignoramus (me) here. Who's the guy in @k1xv's avatar?

 

[eljefino]

Who was that trainwreck from a few years ago who had multiple accounts, always trying to 'fix' Volvos and a basket-case Civic in the most sketchy ways possible and being completely obtuse and combative about it? I'd love to meet him (for no more than five minutes!) just to see what makes a guy like that the way he is.

I patiently helped that guy for quite a while. This is an advice forum so that's what we're supposed to do.

He resembles someone I used to know.

The picture was from a mug shot in my local news. He was a local drunk driver who got into an accident in a construction zone, hitting a construction worker. I saved the picture to send to the guy I thought he resembled.
I also send it as a joke to people I used to know decades ago, who want a photo of what I look like today.

I (wrongly) presumed he was a character from a TV show or movie I hadn't seen, or a rock band musician from a group I'd never heard of, and that everyone else was in on the joke.

This happens to me frequently.
