Fun thread!
I used to work in computer warranty and my handle is my old technician queue name + warranty center #. We all referred to each other by queue name instead of real name.

I ride BMW GS motorcycles. You can guess the rest. Bike was OK, but I broke a leg.
Max is my male Germand shorthair and Beebse or BB was the female.
So Max-BB was born from my bird dogs because I have zero creativity!

OK,it's confession time. I post here under my real name and will do so if I ever join another forum.However,I have been on other forums for quite some time under the moniker of DocH.
Throughout the first 20 years of my police career I actually supplemented my income with poker skills. I was not a card shark,and of course did not do any cheating,but simply had the knowledge of the game,and the ability to read people well.
I played with some very wealthy men,and did so out of town. They are the ones who nicknamed me "Doc",referencing
Doc Holliday,of course.
I actually folded my hand on several occasions to avoid being the big winner,in order to avoid the possibility of people eventually not wanting to play with me.
I no longer do that,and I was associated with very decent people in the games,and there was never any danger of a fight or gunfight ,or anything even remotely resembling one.
Of course,all my winnings were well spent providing for my family(I had seven children,and I'm not even Catholic)
and enjoying life. I am now content to be retired and stay home most of the time,spend quality time with my wife,and shoot guns out on the back of the property.

Vector is rifle manuf'r I think its Russian/german not to sure, 16 is the ga of shotgun that they were able to piece together with some other kind of gun at the begining of WWII. My grandfather bought the gun of a 12 year old for $2 when the took Berlin with the U.S. Army, Armor battalion. I got it when he passed on.
Its a great gun and its solid vs. some of the cracked pot stuff they have now. I'm not sure if its considered an antique. but I dare you to find another one that still works, or maybe just another one. If you do let me know how much, its a SBS.

I have been out shooting in December and January here in Fairbanks so coldshooter it is. BTW at -50 ear plugs don't work well and the cold dense air carries sound well, just a helpful hint.

Dad loved Tuesday Weld and "Doby Gillis" when he was growing up. When l came along he said "Zelda" was the first name he thought of.
Now Tuesday's character was "Thalia". Go figure ???

Delta Rose is the name of our boat and thus the screen name that I use on various boating and fishing forums. I figured I didn't really need another alias....

My initials are PC but I am NOT politically correct.
I play too! I started when I was 9 years old so I've been playing for 31 years now. It's more than a hobby, it's part of who and what I am now. I'm sure you can understand that one.
