Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Whoa, that's another kind of root! :)
My last time on an IBM system as a contractor was in 2000. When that work died, I retired.

Are you still near Burlington?

New Re: Whoa, that's another kind of root! :)
We haven't budged. (One of the reasons it took so long. Small towns are cute but there are certain disadvantages, even if one is the state capital...) We're in Middlesex, about 40 mi. from Burlington.
New That's good to know.
My wife and I will be camping near Braintree, VT roughly 35 miles South of you the later part of next week. We are camping with a group that has the same kind of motor home as we do, but perhaps we can work out a meeting. The last email address I have for you is @compaqnet.be. I'm guessing it's obsolete. If you know my last name, @yahoo.com can get to me. If not, I'll have to provide it in an obscure way.

New Re: That's good to know.
That'd be interesting. I'm not sure what we have going on next weekend. (I'm picking up Mom at Logan tomorrow.) I'll see if we can sort that out this evening.

The @compaqnet.be address is still active.
New Great, we'll take it offline!

New I'll let you go first. I don't trust myself to get it right ;-)
New Contact!
Sven and his mother had lunch with my wife and me today. It was great to meet another long term IWeThey member.

Thanks, Sven, for driving down to meet us!

New Now that I live in a typical target area
Please let me know if you are heading this way.
New Thanks, updated my notes.
We did swing by there in 2017 on way to Utah's 5 national parks.

New AdminiScott wasn't at that one.
Greg was, though. As well Boxley. But I think you'd come to a couple.

You the one who gave me an IWeThey hat, right?

Wade.
New He wasn't?
They all meld together.
Thank you Beep
New That was the one I believe I sold you an Aussie $5 note. :-)
I think it was you.

Also got a few people to try Vegemite.

Wade.
New I tried it
It was disgusting.
So was Box's seal blubber, but goddamn it I ate it anyway.
New Ditto, but didn't think it was that bad.
Box's blubber offering was really OK.

But then, when I was a kid in the refuge camp in Germany, I got to eat salted (pork) fat back. Imagine eating raw bacon for an idea. In cold places the body "burns" that stuff to keep warm.

New I did give out a few IWeThey hats over the years.
My wife was into machine embroidery then. Even sent a hat to Arkadiy whom I never did meet.

You were an honored guest at Beep's and had your own room. Box and I spent the first night in a tent and the second night in the basement with the "fly over country" contingent.

But, there were so many other folks attending that it's hard to keep score. Remembering two new people a day has been my limit.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New I stand corrected, then.

You wouldn't know what normal was if it rode into town on the normal express, kicked down your door with its size normal boots, danced into your living room wearing nothing but the word "normal" and sang "normality is here again" on your dining room table whilst dancing the foxtrot.
