Trails in Illinois?

[Dre]

I need the number........................ if there are any rooms left. lol


Later,

PS. Pete is not going?
PPS. Where did Dave dissapear?

 

[RFR2212]

That is correct...Pete isn't going.....No money, and since I'm broke, my parents are being all stupid, etc....So, yep, I'm not goin to Moab next year...maybe the next run, but this one is a negative.
Pete

 

[riffman]

I AM ALIVE!!!!

Gentlemen (if we may be called that),

I am now a college graduate. I am sorry for the long absence after the last run, but I had to focus on finishing up school. Now that I am done with school I am focused on getting a job. If any of you guys have an in with your IT departments and they are looking for Business Analysts please let me know. I really need to get a job so that I can start some serious mods to my truck. Hopefully get enough done to try and make the Moab run in May, but more realistically for later in the year. Let me know how you all are doing. Like I said, I will be in and out, email me directly if you like. I have a new address. It is wiu_sig@hotmail.com. Let me know about that Elgin spot. I would be up for exploring that (no pun intended). Later.


Dave

One more thing

Does any one want to have a little party or something to celebrate the one year anniversary of this thread? It's too bad that some of it is missing, or it would be twenty pages long. Let me know, maybe a little online gathering.

It depends on where you want to go. If you don't mind Bloomington, my company could probably place you at state farm or Caterpillar as a consultant.

If you put in a resume, then say you were refered by Frank Colba. That way if you get a job, i get a fat ass reward!! heh heh

Good to hear from ya!!!

 

[Kampy]

What's this Frank crap? For over a year we've called you Scott, I have three email addresses for you, and none are even close to the same, what gives?...........

I think I might have it narrowed down to two possibilities
1. Your in the witness protection program, but I can't understand WHY anyone would want to KILL you.
2. There's actually two of you (God help us all), the first is online riffman, now known as frank, the mild mannered guy who can't spell and who talks us into doing these fun things on the weekend. Wheeling.

The second is his evil twin Scott, the doofy acting mud eating lunatic who also can't spell and is a little on the slow side. See, he can't remember how to put his case in 4L or his windows up when he attempts to mud race with the big DAWG (me).

Which one it is doesn't really matter cause either way we lose - option 1 you dissapear because you've been found out = we're sad cause we NEVER get to see you again. Option 2 there's actually two of you = we're sad because we HAVE to see you again. Both of you!

Dave, I hope the job search goes well.

Later guys.

 

[riffman]

hahaha...you kill me....and since you asked...your gonna get more history about me than you ever wanted to know!!

first off, i have 7 e-mail addresses:
riffman80@aol.com
riffman80@hotmail.com
jummered@hotmail.com
frank.colba.lrw8@statefarm.com
frank.colba@stltechpartners.com
scott.colba@stltechpartners.com
scolba@stltechpartners.com

My full name is Frank Scott Colba. Frank is a generational name. The first born male is named Frank Somthing, and goes by Somthing. My dad is Frank Paul, and goes by Paul. My grandpa is Frank Henry and goes by Henry. and so on and so forth.....How I got to be called Frank, was at work one time. There just so happened to be another scott working there at the time, so it was a bit confusing. Then I came in with a ticket one time. They were looking at the ticket, and saw that my first name is Frank. So they were like, thats it...from now on you are Frank. And i still work for that company. So, then know me as Frank, but everywhere else I am Scott. But neither Scott or Frank can spell, so your right Krampy...er...Kampy.....

Clear as mud?

 

[2001ExpSport]

Dave, before you look for a job, How About getting the stinkin' pictures scanned and on the thread!!! You took like 10 rolls and we haven't seen sqwat!!! Did you think we forgot about the pictures?!! Hmm?

SLACKER!!!

 

[RFR2212]

Okay Scott/Frank....Where did the name Riffman come in all this hotshot?
Pete

 

[Dre]

Hey Dave, glad to see you back, aaaaaaaaa hear from you, aaaaaaaa read from you,,,,,,,,,, aaaaaaa whatever!!!!!

Hope the job search goes smooth. Are you back in Chicago area???

Riff, who cares what your name is? After what we've been through we would wheel with you even if we've found out you have no name at all!! Gosh, sure sounds like a "Soap".


Happy Holidays everyone!!!

 

[riffman]

*sigh* do you really want to konw?

well...i am kind of a musician also, and i play bass. Well, i like to riff a lot. that is basically playing a whole bunch of notes really fast that go with the chord that is being played at the time. well, a guy that i was in a band with was like, man...your like a riffing mad man....then he shortened it to riffman....thats about it

again...probably more than you even wanted to konw....hehehe

 

[RFR2212]

Riiiight...Sure Scott/Frank...I'm starting to think you've got like 8 different personalities.....Not that it's a bad thing...Especially if all 8 personalities are guys that like to go muddin! Okay, that is enough from me....I need sleep.
Pete


P.S. Merry Christmas to all!

 

[Cameron]

What is this thread about?

Moab?, Multiple personalities? Employment opportunities? That’s why this thread is a year old. We can't stay focused.

So what did everyone get for Christmas? What about them Bears?

We need to seriously plan a major outing for this spring. I know it's early but it seams that each time we plan a trip a bunch of people cant go because of conflicts. If we start talking about a spring time trip now, everyone is more apt to make that date(s) available.

Just a thought.

Big Dave! Shoot me an e-mail with your qualifications and I'll send you a list of available positions. That is, if your interested in working in Chicago. I'm a systems analyst at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and they are in need of systems people. Let me know and I'll see if I can't point you in the right direction.

 

[Dre]

It's never too early. Planning in advance will sure help us get more guys together. Attica once again? any new trails? When? Memorial day is the 28th of May. It's gonna be like right after Moab so it might not be a good idea to pick this date since some of us are going to Moab. Put some dates on, we'll talk.

Speaking of Moab, let me know if you want to get together for a room at Silver Sage Motel. I got one double room reserved. Anybody want to go with me on that trip? Pete? Dave? I can sure use some company. It's gonna be a long trip.


Later,

Guys,

It's good to talk with all of you again. I'll try to answer all the questions...

Matt - I still haven't scanned the pictures (I actually have to find them again). I still have your address, and I will try to get them out to you.

Andre - I would love to go to Moab this May, but I won't have the right setup or the money to finance that trip. at least I don't think I will. I am back in the Chicago area, but things will be pretty hectic for me for a while. I have to locate employment (thank you to all that are giving me options, I really appreciate it), and I am moving sometime in January. I will still be in the Chicago area, but I am not sure yet where I will be.

Cam - I'll email you a resume. I'm not a programmer, looking more for business analyst type. Requirements gathering, making sure the users and technical people are on the same page, stuff like that.

Frank, Riff, Scott (and any other personalities that are in that person that we don't yet know about) - What is the web site for your placement company?

Kampy and Ann(e) - Not sure if it has an e or not. - How is everything? I saw that you are going to Moab. Have fun. You'll finally be able to use the winch in a wheelin' setting, if you haven't already.

Pete - I wanted to thank you for getting my truck taken care of so quickly. I never did get to say thanks. I hope that everything worked out ok with yours as well.

I hope that I didn't forget anyone. I would be up for a Spring run. Maybe we can look for something up here, for a little change of scenary (sp?). Kampy, you're out near Galena aren't you? Have you heard of any spots out that way?

Also, I like that we have a sort of central thread to converse on. It's almost getting to the point where we will have to ask Rick if there can be groups for each region in the Serious Explorations area, (i.e. Serious North Explorations, Serious South Explorations, Serious Midwest Explorations, etc.)

Keep in touch, my new email address is wiu_sig@hotmail.com, in case you wanted to email me directly.

Later,

Dave

Right.....So this is the down low from my end...I may be crazy but I am looking for a job at school to allow me to get gears and lockers installed come the beginning of summer....so on that note...I'd love to make a run....But maybe something different? Kinda like a mini-vacation...I bet this is out of everyone's reach since you are all goin to Moab...I am out...The parent's say I can't go since I have no stable income now, and I owe them quite a bit (mall parking lot offroading) So, I was thinkin some sorta big off road spot in the local surrounding states, no more than 2 states away.....Who knows....just a thought.... Dave, as for my truck, it looks nothing better than a bit cleaner than when it did before....Oh well, I guess everyone must get a war wound on the truck at some point....But I need some sleep everybody...and to all, a late Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Pete

 

[riffman]

well, pete...there is always Tellico (probably too far away, as it is in NC) and land between the lakes (KY), or that park in Missouri, or the dunes in Michigan, or the Pipeline in wisconsin. After Moab, i am pseudo planning a trip to tellico this summer too. but i need a winch first. or thats what i hear....

Dave my company isn't exactly a placement service. we are more of a technology provider. (ie Wide and locacl area network instalation, administration, custom programing/webdevelopment, and a consulting division) The website is http://www.stltechpartners.com . Give it a look, and send in your resume.
