How did they find you.
Their VP was watching the former OWS for years and then showed the GM the site. They watched the outline over two years and decided to ask me to do the account.

How much do they pay you.
It's not rich, but it's not little, however it's cool to get paid for weather, but my goal is expansion in the future, not to get paid and be rich from custom forecasting for clients. over 50% of the money is going back into expanding and finding ways to expand the project.

Under what conditions would you trespass.
Never

Do you eat caffeine? intentionally.
I drink coffee, every morning.

How long have you been married.
Coming up on just a year in June

Why do those three guys hate you. Be honest.
Because I was a jerk in the past?

You need to be honest about that last question.
I was.

How old are you.
24, 25 in August.

How long have you been a weather man.
Since I was a weather boy.

Is this your side job or is this your main job.
main job, but I have cluster jobs with different clients. My goal is about 10 clients to forecast for like the tramway, however that is probably all I can fit into a day's work.

Does your wife work too.
She is a nurse.

Any kids?
I am unable to provide kids.

How old.
A puppy count?

Do you know what a cairn is and would you kick it?
No don't know what it is.

What color is Hal's hair.
I'm guessing gray.

What about a bivy? Do you know what a bivy is?
No, don't know that.

Ever heard of a bivy? How many different ways can bivy be said and still mean the same thing?
Never heard of the word.


Ok, let's review...
I guess we'll have to take these one at a time.

Under what conditions would you trespass.
Never

Do you eat caffeine? intentionally.
I drink coffee, every morning. Oh no! You blew it! You were supposed to ignore these two! Oh well, Never? What if Hal was dying in a no trespassing zone? Would you cross into it to save his life?
Every morning? Like every single day?

How long have you been married.
Coming up on just a year in June Thank you.

Why do those three guys hate you. Be honest.
Because I was a jerk in the past? Are you asking me? How would I know? I'm asking you! You're the one that knows. You're the one that was there, not me! This is the serious one!

You need to be honest about that last question.
I was. Ok, were you a jerk or not? You know what you did!

How old are you.
24, 25 in August.
thank you

She is a nurse.
check

Any kids?
I am unable to provide kids. At least you didn't say you were unable to provide for kids.

How old.
A puppy count? you have puppies?

Do you know what a cairn is and would you kick it?
No don't know what it is. That's a cairn,
ImageHal hates em. He kicks em over.

What color is Hal's hair.
I'm guessing gray. Nope.

No, don't know that.

Neither do I! I actually thought maybe I could find out from you! I think it's like half a tent or a half a sleeping bag, or a half of each together, but could be the act of not camping at your intended destination because of high winds too. It sounds pretty cool if you include it in your tr though. "Winds were high so we set up a bivy and... etc," People can get really upset on other boards when you ask so be careful. I think you were supposed to be born knowing. :?

Anyway overall you did pretty good. Thank you! I tried to cover all the important questions. But you did kinda mess up with the black ones. So you will have to make up for that somehow. I googled it up and the only way to fix it is to follow Hal on the remainder of his hikes and place cairns in front of him as he walks along. If he kicks them over, (and he will) they you will have to run behind and reset them all. For the rest of the year.
Time will pass quickly and Hal doesn't hike too far or fast now days so it won't really be as hard as it sounds. Sorry but there is nothing else that can be done at this point.

I'm busy today and don't have time to really keep up on this thread, but if I were Kevin, I would not answer all of Fight On's questions and keep tram info on the down low. Just a couple thoughts.

I don't think that anyone here hates Kevin and I don't see any good being accomplished by asking him why someone might hate him.

Not that I think I am oe of the three, but I wish Kevin well in his weather forecasting endeavors, whether he takes my advice or not.

I exaggerated using the word hate to be funny but I do confess to be curious.
Hate? Nobody thinks you hate anybody but me Allan! :D (and you can hate me all you want!)
But you have to admit that what you and the others have said to him is less polite and welcoming than the way new members are normally greeted.

The tram would rather me keep job information private but I'm always up for chatting and what not here. I answered the ones I could, but job information cannot be, sorry.

And Perry is the forum admin, so he wishes for stuff not to be answered or thinks it is a good idea so I will respect it.

Have a good evening ...

Joe! I was joking about everything except following Hal with the cairns. (that you have to do!) What would be a great bonus is to glue one to the top of his jeep! Like a hood ornament, Perry has a can stuck on top of his car, maybe he can help us!
You don't have to say anything you don't want to, especially to me.
I was just messing around.

Hard to tell over the internet. I like making friends in person because the internet just doesn't show the true personality of someone.

It's just a username so sorry, I'm a bad judge at joking vs. serious when it comes to online.

Great weather up in those mountains this weekend huh? 50's and maybe 60's is more like a brief Summer hike (but with snow).

Just trying to help you out. You can post whatever you want, within reason. It would be a shame to lose a good opportunity by posting a lot of stuff on this forum. You have moved onto something bigger than message board chatting.

Congrats by the way! I was very surprised when you called that big December storm so far in advance. I haven't followed your weather forecasting close enough to really have an opinion, but if you're talking about the same VP I'm thinking of, then that person probably has. (No need to mention names.)

C'mon! Who could hate FIGHT ON?

I am only responsible for what I say, not what others say. I have been involved in a couple of conversations with Kevin going back over a year. I wish him well in his forecasting and hope he enjoys hiking the local mountains. I have passed a couple of other thoughts on to him, which he is free to take or leave.
