It’s easy to get into the habit of frequenting a local establishment without ever finding out who’s making your morning mocha. We don’t want that to be the way of things around these forums and hope you’ll take a minute to say hello and tell us a little about you. Need some help getting started? Here are a few questions for you:
Ready? Set…SHARE!

That's not an easy task for you, is it?
~grins~ Nope!
If only I'd had a puzzle or something to keep me occupied. 😉
lol... I meant on AUGI.

Oh, yes, most definitely a LOTR fan. I use this as my sigline on forums and it's engraved on the back of my ipad, lol.
I discovered my Dad's old red leather-bound edition of the trilogy when I was about 10 and I fell in love.
I do enjoy a good fantasy novel more than most other genres. I've got quite a few books by Eddings that I've reread a few times, and I've been recently revisiting McCaffrey. These folks have all done wonders for my vocabulary over the years (also a big Koontz fan, I used to keep a dictionary and thesaurus on my bedside table, my Mom got them for me because she was tired of me asking her all the time.).
If anyone is in St. Louis, or even passing through, I'm always up for a game of LOTR Trivial Pursuit (my husband isn't a fan and won't play with me because I'd trounce him into the ground faster than you could say 'my precious.').
SQUIRREL!

Is that a reference to 'Up' ?

Awesome, Adam.
I'm a pretty big fan of canoing myself. We've got some great rivers around here.
Meremec is overrated and overpopulated (what a shame). I'm looking further south, maybe even Arkansas. i camp on the Big piney often.
lol, you don't have to tell me that... I live right on it, but, haven't ever put a boat in the water. It is pretty when covered by the morning fog, though.
It's been a few years since I've been out, but, the last river I was on was probably the Current, did the Jacks Fork a few times when I was younger and had more free time. I may have been on others, but, back then, I wasn't the one doing the planning or the driving, so I didn't really care where we ended up, so long as there was water and boats around.
Those are great floats. Nice and cold in the summer time. People come from all around the nation to float the Missouri and Arkansas rivers, most other rivers are muddy or you need a white water guide (which I'd like to try sometime).
All I've ever done is to Kayak down the Delaware River. I used to go with a group from the beer distributor my friend worked for. We'd do 2 day trips with a night of camping in between. I've never been so sore as after the first time I did it. I couldn't even bear to push in the clutch of my truck. So I tried to coast up to all the lights and stop signs so I didn't ever have to stop. But it was great fun.

Water's not bad. In the stretch we would do there were mostly Class 1 and 2. Since the group I was with was known to the operators. They would put us in above the only Class 3 - Skinners Falls. So that was the first set of rapids I ever went through. Just paddled for may life and made it through.
Most of the trip as easy. There is enough of a grade that you often didn't have to paddle. We'd "raft up" - pull next to each other and interlace kayak paddles. For those who imbibed too much in camp the first night a punishment would be to put them backwards in the raft and then go through a Class 1 with them riding backwards.

Beautiful!
This is the Delaware below the Hawks Nest. Not what some might think when talking about New York.
