Going to move this to Miscellaneous. I'm also going to make this the official introductions thread. Perhaps this will encourage some more lurkers to join the fun.

I'm 23, hold a BS and an MS from WPI and work for FM Global as a fire protection engineer. I currently live in the small farming town of Woodstock, CT in the extreme north eastern part of CT (thats extreme directionally, there's nothing else extreme about the town save for our bovine population).
Hey Marc, I'm also a WPI grad (civil engineering, class of 2000) and a former volunteer EMT. I don't ski though. (Ducking the masses of tomatoes hurled in my general direction)

Thanks, guys, I don't know about an increase of posting during the ski season though.

I'll have to turn into a crazy digital photographer to keep up my posting... which of course is going to require a digital camera I suppose... :dunce:


Hey Smitty, I won't hold it against you that you don't ski ;)

Some of us are just more enlightened... :beer:


PS I think I have a better chance at buying my own ski area than I do surpassing Greg's post count.

You big lunk. I do not ski. nor board. The tomatoes heading my way will be significantly larger than smittys. But we had this conversation once in the "how did you select your username" thread. I know from there that it is ok I am here. One can be a very, very good friend of skiing (a couple of you can vouch for me) and not actually have to DO it. I tried it. SB & MRG. It wasn't for me.

Actually I am kind of a big lunk. ;)

I know you don't do either, I remember it being brought up a time or two before... I was just having a little fun, hence the:

Yes well, what else do I have to do on my lunch breaks...


Obviously they need to give me more work to do... wait, that's not something I should be wishing for.




Well anyway, I figured posting here and having my computer write back to me is better than talking to myself and having the voices in my head talk back to me...

:dunce:

I am going to try a little dogsledding this year. I've only got one pup, so she'll be pulling a sled with the little one on it. I don't think she has enough in her to tow my fat arse around. Now if I can convince the wife to let me get 3 more dogs..... :roll:

And you skiers are not more enlightened than me, you just have bigger paychecks. Money is really the only thinkg that kept me from taking up skiing. My dad Max was a hell of a skier. He probably still is, though he hasn't gone in years due to back problems. He used to work at Sugarbush as a ski bum long before I entered the picture.

Look what you did, ruined your father's career. Shame on you... :p

Well, just like my dad says to me "You know, it's still not too late to have you aborted, son."

What am I thinking?!

I need to program a Marc bot to say things I would so he can come here and post in my absence. I was too busy sailing and doing 'other things' this weekend to post much. I'll try not to screw up again.

I wish I could take credit for that. :D No, a nasty fall while skiing that resulted in a slipped disk in his back is what "ended" his career. He still skied afterwards, not not as aggressively.
