Working on the home theater system in the basement.
I backpacked a stretch of the Au Sable River 30 years ago with 3 other high school buddies. It was in April and the 1st day was a blue bird day with mild temperature, clear skies, and pleasant travels. Overnight, the temperature must have dropped 50 degrees and a giant snow storm dumped about a foot of snow on us. We called and had someone pick us up. Needless to say, I haven't backpacked since....although I hope to give it one more go before I reach Herm status.
One of my old roommates and his son are MGoBloggers.
Pan fried venison burger with sauteed red onions and mushrooms, any available cheese, BBQ sauce and topped with a fried egg. (Substitute hamburger if you're that kind of guy - nttawwt).

In excited for tomorrow
In excited for tomorrow because I'm doing slow carb and it's weigh-in/measure/cheat day. I've had great success so far (3 weeks) and may stick with this permanently, as it has completely fixed all my energy & digestive issues and killed my desire for sugar and bad carbs.

I am have a nasty chest cold, no plans. No on backpacking. Never met another Mgoblogger. Grilled cheese with left over sliced jalapeño cheddar brats. It is even better with homemade bread. My choice of cheese is cheddar and provolone.

1) Continue grinding away at my thesis (in hopes of graduating this May)
2) Not a backpacker, but since I'm a geologist I go do a lot of hiking.
3) I don't think I've ever met one, but I'm assuming I've been in the same place at the same time as multiple MGoBloggers...
4) I've put a hambuger in my grilled cheese before.

I'm getting my M.S. right now. Got my B.S from GVSU, and now I'm at Missouri State University getting my Master's.
I'm studying the Cambrian sandstone in Missouri (the Lamotte Sandstone). I'm doing a detailed petrographic analysis on three new cores (drilled pretty much just for me), in an attempt to better understand the depositional history of the Lamotte, an attempt to classify it with more accuracy, create a state wide (of Missouri) fence diagram of the Lamotte, create an isopach map of the Lamotte, and finally (and most importantly) for the purpose of shallow geologic carbon sequestration.
My research is funded by the DOE in hopes of finding a location in Missouri that could serve as a site where we could inject CO2 into the Lamotte Sandstone, where it would be stored safely for a very long time.
So what's your story?
And OT: That Jose Canseco theory must have given you the same reaction I had from it.

Graduated in the spring from Ohio University (bobcats) with my B.S. Also got a degree in Meteorology. Now I'm working in the Permian Basin oil fields in West Texas. Probably going to go back for my M.S. in sequence stratigraphy in 2-3 years, depending on how things work out. It will be hard to walk away from the money I'm making though, that's for damn sure.

2. No.
3. Yes, at the HTTV party, and kinda half...I recognized one at a football game.
4. I like the original basic, but if I must bacon.

Doing some tasting.....
Doing some tasting.....
Attending a wine and seafood extravaganza tomorrow and will eventually go and buy me some new clothes - yearly wardrobe upgrade.
Do not backpack much anymore - used to go up mountains awhile back, not anymore.
Have met some MGObloggers but they are family members - did meet a guy in Hawaii last summer - I was wearing a Michigan football t-shirt at the beach - exchanged the obligitory GO BLUE - started a conversation and found he was a blogger of this site.
Best way to eat a grilled cheese sandwich is to dunk it in ketchup. I am Canadian - I think it is the law.
If someone ever invented a low fat vitamin - filled vegetable that tasted like fudge covered Rice Krispies treats - I'd probably eat better
