How many Members here at OTT have met other OTT Members in person?

[BX25D Rookie]

I had errands to run today.
I also stopped at the local Tractor Supply store in town.
I'm looking for some bolt on "D" rings for my recently acquired BX 2370.
(for strapping/chaining the front end of the BX sized machines onto a trailer)
I had bought some bolt on "D" rings before at Tractor Supply for my BX 25.
The "strap" that bolts the "D" ring down to the flat surface, exactly matches the bolt spacing on both
sides on the front of the tractor, the motor mount bolts. Super easy hauling attachment points.

So the employee at my hometown Tractor Supply store said another T/S store several towns away had a
pile of the bolt on "D" rings in the clearance bin. So I was already out and about and the Jeep was warmed up.

As I was driving down to the other Tractor Supply store, I spotted several local "landmarks" that I had seen in photos here on this Forum, posted by Member RCW. I concluded my business at the other Tractor Supply store, and brought home an entire blister pack card of "D" rings, on sale for $4.04 and it has a pair of the size I need.

On the way home, I stopped at the house where I "believed" Member RCW lives.
I knocked on the door, introduced myself and we chatted for an hour and a half.

It's a pleasure to meet you in person RCW!

Our residences are only about five miles apart.

I've met the same member three times so does that count as three?

 

[mcfarmall]

Never met another OTT member in real life. Who knows, there might be one right around the corner?

 

[Tarmy]

I did…sold him some hydraulics…

I have talked to a couple others on other things I sold and mailed.

I know my age addled gray matter will probably leave someone out, so apologies in advance, but I met a few at the "1st Annual OTT, PNW, BBQ and Kubota Games" 7/15/2017". (1st & only)

"1st Annual OTT, PNW, BBQ and Kubota Games" 7/15/2017

Well we will give this a try. There's quite a few OTT folks in this area, and some may be willing to take a road trip, so....... Saturday July 15th, were going to host the Orange Tractor Talks BBQ and tractor games in the beautiful Pacific NW in N. Idaho, near Silverwood. I'll have the Grapple...

I know there were probably others there, but that was almost 8 years ago- and I don't remember what I had for breakfast this morning.
We've seen NIW & his missus a couple three times since then.
And on another trip, I met Yooper, at his beautiful home & (for me) even nicer shop.
My neighbor in the high country is HappyJackDave, long time friend.
I was scheduled to meet CaveCreekRay, but my FIL had some medical crisis that day, & somehow we never reconnected.
I have wanted to meet up with D2Cat a couple times, but my travel schedule has not worked out. (yet)
I even had a meet scheduled with (gasp) SideCarFlip, but I found out I had been exposed to Covid a couple days before the meet, so I begged off. (never got Covid)

Hagrad, Henro, and I met up for a samich and a couple adult beverages. A couple of interesting gentlemen, might have to get together again when it warms up some
