Hi folks, glad to be aboard and definitely plan to pick some brains while I'm at it so thanks in advance. I'm gearing up to start section hiking the AT this spring. Plan to give the college kids a head start then hopefully get going before it warms up too much. Haven't back packed since Scouts and now at 60 let's just say...good luck to me. I work on a boat in the Gulf of Mexico for several months straight then I'll get 2-3-4 weeks of time off, should be good to log some miles. Maybe I'll see some of you out there.

Welcome from the Big Sky Country. There are a lot of brains to pick here and they generally have a lot of great knowledge to share. Hope you enjoy us.

It's a 110ft shrimp trawler however we don't catch shrimp. We work for the energy companies and come in after an oil platform is removed. We drag the nets removing any remaining debris from the bottom

Welcome to the nut hut. Glad to have you aboard. Pick our brains away....not that there is much left of them.

Hi folks, glad to be aboard and definitely plan to pick some brains while I'm at it We zombies aren't noted for our mental capacity or prowess, but if you think we're a step up in the food chain, so be it. Welcome.

Welcome! Sounds to me like you have a great plan There are some brains around here that aren't pickled and so can still be picked. Have fun!

definitely plan to pick some brains Hi, GC, glad to have you. Consider us ripe for the picking — in fact, a bit overripe at times.
