Lee1977 6,217 #51 Posted November 13, 2017 Lee is my middle name. I first got into Wheel Horses when I bought my C-120 new in 1977. I've been on Redsquare from 2009 was Don1977 until one of the crashes and couldn't get back in with that name. I retired back in 2000 was a draftsman using a computer for the last 20 years. Didn't even used a computer with the exception of drawing a few small jobs for friends and neighbors for quite a few years. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was all about cell phones, and I liked the one I had...it was and is still just a cell phone...that is all it does. My wife called me a dinosaur and my friend Tom went one more step and called me Stevasaurus. Needless to say, it stuck. I still live in the 60's, I still use my "reel to reel" "8 track player" "cassettes". I have a VCR on 3 TV's. I still use Windows 97 and DOS 6.2. When I go to the doctor's office, I pull a magazine off the rack and read it while waiting. And while we are at it...what was ever wrong with regular "Fig Newtons"??? Why do we have to have "Strawberry Newtons".?? At least Farm & Fleet still carries Chunkys...but like dinosaurs...they are getting harder to find. My 2014 Silverado has electric windows and I hate em...takes me 8 or 9 tries to set the window where I want it. I could not buy that truck with crank windows. I was a lineman for the phone company for over 10 years before getting into splicing back in the 70's...today, I would be an Outside Plant Technician...same job. How stupid is that?? When someone asks me if I text...I just get this real funny look and say "What?" Well, anyway, that's how I got the name, and that is just Swell. Umm you forgot Dino... 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,767 #60 Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Well, I had many user names and "handles before joining the Red Square. On my early hunting trips to Montana, I was given the CB handle "The Gobbler". My hunting partners were aware of my addiction to spring gobbler hunting. The Gobbler is still used today as my call name on radios and as a user ID on some hunting sites. Spring 2017 In the late 50s and early 60s after watching Fred Bear make some amazing archery shots on the original American Sportsman hunting show, I also became an archery deer hunting addict and assumed the user ID FBfan for many sites. The little white piebald deer was not taken by me. That's another story. BTW, I do my own taxidermy work. After my two sons finished college and left home, I had more time on my hands, so with a name like Kennell, what else. I built a kennel and started breeding and training beagles. Many IDs were on the hound sites..The Kennell, The Beagle Man, Dog Man, The Dog...Right Mike @squonk. Later on after my four grandsons became a major part of my life, I was designing a name for a newly purchased boat and I wanted to use their four names in the boat name. So the boat became " FOUR BUOYS'. This name is now my user name for several fishing, boating, and crabbing sites. So, sorry for the long post, but when I recently joined Red Square, and I was having trouble remembering user names and passwords, I decided to keep it simple and used a name I could remember....

Steve, you might want to add to that self proclaimed title and include the French term, "Vigneron".

Texas Todd 1,024 #65 Posted November 15, 2017 Mine is pretty straightforward. I was named that at the FBI Academy when we had me and Louisiana Todd. Had to keep us seperate. Kinda stuck in subsequent years at Karaoke!!! When I cranked off with David Allan Coe, it made even more sense.. If you don't know who that is, well shame on you!

Sarge 3,462 #68 Posted November 15, 2017 If you want deer sausage - just ask . i've always been wanting to go deer hunting , but I get too much "extra" meat as it is , especially deer sausage . Got several buddies that fill tags for every possible season available around here - the stuff is coming out of our ears most times - probably still have a couple full loins in the freezer from last year still...

How bout it Ed Yeah Fred, I may have strained the CANNON SX150 with that shot. The deer looked like a dot on the original picture and it did get a bit grainy when I blew it up. I've actually taken some pretty good long range pics with the Camera held behind a 50X spotting scope on a tripod. Didn't have it with me for this shot though.

jay bee 817 #72 Posted November 15, 2017 Mine comes from my name, Jim Barker. When in High School (boy, was that a loooong time ago) many of my friends called me JB. That seemed a little short for a screen name, hence the jay bee!!! 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
