My pleasure!
Joshua Tree came out when I was a senior in college. I still have the original cassette I bought, but I bet it is pretty worn out by now. I used to play that over and over when driving to visit my GF at the time, who lived in PA. Good times...good times.

where we live when not at the lake

the name of our boat from a shawn colvin song. (great lyrics!)

In 2004 when I joined the fourm, I had plans to be a resident, hence Resident 2B.

I have since retired and we have moved up here, but I still have not been able to sell the house in Massachusetts, so we go back and forth a lot. Decided to stick with my forum name for now.

R2B

My userame is what I like to see out the back of the Grady when trolling through Harilla's Landing - Throbbin Rods

not brain surgery
 

When coming up with a name, I just thought about why I wanted to join. Simple, I love Winnipesaukee.:D

Huh
 

Huh was the question I kept asking myself when I was reading these boards specifically when reading about the supposed need for a blanket speed limit on the lake.. And now I have the same response to the way New Hampshire voted in the recent elections went. I guess some people see higher taxes and bigger Gubment as the change we really need... HUH

It's Simple
 

I've simply attached the appropriate adjective to my name. Why Lucky? I get to spend a lot of time in one of the most beautiful places in this nation.

Pretty straight forward here too. Lived down Moultonborough Neck as a kid year round, now just there part time.

how'd i get mine? :D, and i dont even like it. :cool:

My username is basically my first name backwards with the first letter of my last name (Allie C)....and @ Dow is for Dow Island!

My screen name was given to me by Rattlesnake Gal. I am a Lady who makes Quilts and then gives them away. I give quilts to ForumFest to support the charity of choice: to the Humane Society to raise money: and to wounded soldiers to bring comfort.

Hermit Cover
 

Just finishing our two year project...our little log cabin on Hermit Cove....move in by Christmas.:)

Bettina 2
 

My handle is the name of my 2nd boat. First one was just Bettina...a grand old girl who taught me to be humble and vigilant on the water. :)

Name
 

I always urge my sled-riding buddies to join me for a ride after the sun sets. I love riding the trails at night. More than during the day, you know when other sleds are coming around corners because you can see the headlights long before you see the sleds. Riding to the top of Moose Mountain on a moonlit night is heavenly. Deer and Moose are seen more often at night on the trails also. At one point during a break in riding I was extolling the virtues of that particular trip and a fellow rider dubbed me the "Nightrider" and it has stuck ever since.

Orion
 

Flew 2500 hrs on Navy P3 Orion antisubmarine patrol planes during the Cold War (1975-1979). Also an avid astronomer and Orion was always my favorite constellation since it was always prominent in the clear winter skies, and had the most interesting celestial objects within.

And did you see that NASA has named its next manned planetary (moon and Mars) crew module Orion?

Mine was picked for me.
 

I used to have a different name. Members of the forum started referring to me by this name as the logical extension of my wifes name. I can't argue with logic.

Stole it from my wife,Sammie.She has the original Samiam license plate.She's always worried that I'll start ranting about something and she'll get the blame.
My name is Bob,but Bobiam doesn't really have a ring to it.

Hmmm
 

.....and they never even asked my permission!!;)

I used the "random name" generator function when I signed up originally.

I have a little bit of Native American in me and I love to kayak on Lake Winnipesaukee!

I picked Lakepilot because it represents two of the things I like a lot. I'm a pilot and we have a place on the lake.:)

We used to stay on our boat and referred to it as Water Camping. so our handle on the lake became Water Camper. Just seemed appropriate when we started posting on Winni.com to use the same profile name.

My High School
 

It's the nickname of the High School I attended in my youth. Also the nickname for sport's teams at Western Kentucky University.

I summer on an island and my name is Al

ToW ???
 

This was posted back in 2004 as a reply to RG

ToW: Acronym for Tired of Waiting; Derived from the rules and philosophy of life.

Tow begins at conception. From that time forth one is in the mode of waiting. So we can most likely blame our parents for ToW. It all starts with the nine month wait to move into the light of the world. From there we wait for the attention, food, bottom cleaning and so on. The parents are in the mode of waiting for the child to indicate their needs which is at the most inopportune times. Which the parents can blame on the child.

From infancy to the time we pass into the other life waiting takes at least 75% of our time. For some much more.

For example on any given day it could go like this:

Rise from bed, no waiting here, well for some of us that is. To the kitchen, start the coffee, we are now in 1xToW.
While the coffee is brewing we start the eggs, we are now in 2xTow,

Ok at this point you might say you’re not waiting for the coffee because you are starting the eggs. I ask, would you be starting the eggs if the coffee was done instantly? No, you’d cream and sugar the coffee and THEN start the eggs.

Now on with the story; we put bread in toaster and push the button down, we are now 3xToW. So as can be seen we can be in multiple ToWs. The eggs finish, we plate the eggs, the coffee finishes, we start to cream and sugar the coffee and the toast pops up so we leave the eggs and coffee to tend to the toast. Now the coffee and eggs are in Tow while you tend to the toast. Here you can see that not just humans can have ToW. At last the meal is complete. However, you might now have to wait for the other person/s to join you for the meal, again another ToW. Now all this is being done very early in the morning while you are waiting for the sun to rise to produce that beautiful sunrise on the lake another Tow. Oh and while all this is going on in the morning you are still in ToW for that return phone call from yesterday.

You may continue this story on your own. If not you can ToW for me to do it in the future.

Just think, what would life be like if there was no ToW? Instant everything!! There is something to be said for instant gratification.

ToW :)

Fink2 in honor of Dad
 

As a kid,spending some summer time with family in Winter Harbor at Camp Theresa. Our Dad named the little row boat the "Fink". There probably were a few beers involved in the process and I suspect our uncle Vinny and/or Uncle Bill may have had a hand in it as well! So in honor of our father and the name of that first boat in the family, we now have a few craft on the lake named after Fink...Fink2, Fink3, Fink4, Fink5. Way to go Dad!

Is there an Ed Roth tie in, or just Fink?

My twin brother's name was Tristan (he passed away since birth) and J stands for the first letter of our last name. I didn't want to use my name because I hate it and it is a common name, so I used my twin brother's name because I like it better. :)

I am just another one of those dang Swamp Yankees from Rhode Island. Some people up city think it is a derisive term but the Swamp Yankees in the south end of the state are proud to be called that.

Is Camp Theresa the name of your PERSONAL camp, as I am trying to remember a Camp Theresa in W. H. and can't.

Gunner is my nickname. Got it playing high school basketball over 50 years ago. Had a one handed set shot that started at the hip as if I was pulling a gun out of a holster. Coach started calling me "The Gunner" & it has stuck since then. My younger brother had the same shot & was dubbed "Gunner II".

Well my little slice of the Winni is near Maiden Lady Cove and I joined the Forum in 2007....
Great topic!

pretty simple
 

My initials, and our place is in Meredith. How amazingly creative is that??!!

My boat = Grady White Tournament Model 223


WinnDixie - I always assumed it was after the super market chain. http://www.winn-dixie.com/

Oh, good, I thought it was the year you thought the Mets will next win the World Series, 3007. :-))

I was named after my boat, thinking I'd never get rid of it. Then I did the unthinkable and sold it to go bigger. Shocking I know. Now I own a Sea Ray but can't bring myself to change my name since I've had it for so long now.

Another original name
 

Gee,

My name is Bob and I love my place in Alton Bay
