Finally a face for a name….

Riverruns messaged me the other day and mentioned he’d be camping not far from town for the weekend so tonight Ma and I drove to the campground so I could put a name and face together. What a nice little meeting.

Riverruns and I share some interests and we had a great time yacking about vanilla and sausage while Carole and his wife and daughter yacked up the lady stuff. WE has us a cold beer that really hit the spot and after an hour and a half Ma and I decided that we’d stayed long enough and said our good-byes. But before we left we made sure that sometime yet this fall we’ll be getting together again for a little longer visit. There’s only about 50 miles that separates us so the drive is nothing.

Nice guy and interesting. I’m glad this evening worked out. So many of us here go on for years posting back and forth with people we say we know, but have never met and sometimes it just nice to put a face with a name. Happy to finally meet you Riverruns!

That’s awesome Tom! I’ve sold a few things to members and everyone is a good guy

Nice to hear Tom. Some day i would Luv to have a face to face meeting with Mr. riverruns. Im sure we would have a lot to talk about. . . rrr

Not totally regretted anyway…. I agreed to take a new IDO poster out on pool 4 one spring in the “share a ride” thread. After the outing I remember thinking to myself that I’ll never do that again…. A very interesting cat to put it lightly…. that man ……..STU WEST!!

Needless to say (as many on IDO can imagine), I had many stories to tell for years after that.

I’ve met Glenn on a couple occasions. RRRandy I’ve known for eons but we just don’t cross paths often. Then there’s BK. I’ve met a couple others over the years and can say honestly that I have only met one, similar to joe-winter’s experience but not Stu, that I put zero credibility in and can go along time before I need to meet him again. Save for the one experience the people I’ve met from here are far better met in person. Riverruns is no exception to that. Really nice fella and a super family.

Tom, that’s great you guys had a great time. I’ve been blessed to have met a lot of IDO guys and have gained some awesome friends

Will Rogers obviously never met BK.
I played golf with Bigwerm last weekend.

Good meeting up with you and your wife Tom.

To anyone that hasn’t met Tom or his wife. Top Notch People. Every day people like I’m sure most of us here at this site.

I sent Tom home with a package of venison Polish sausage and Brats. I never thought of bringing bacon. I’ll hook up later with him for the bacon.

It was very good time spent yesterday visiting. My family also enjoyed it. Good to meet people with similar interests.

I enjoy golfing if you guys ever want to go out and look like pros. Im not good but some how always hang in there till the putt

I’d enjoy it Bearcat!

I’m not a golfer but I do make several trips a year to Two Harbors and go right past North Branch on 35. If I had a cell number bearcat I’d call to see if you’d have time for a beer of cup of coffee. I enjoy meeting new faces.
