do you resemble your username?

When I joined, I made an avatar with the logos representing the majority of the guns in my "collection": I had two Smith & Wessons and two SIG Sauers. Seven years later, it still represents my "collection": I now have three Smith & Wessons and three SIG Sauers. I used my avatar as my username, swsig. After two-plus years of limited range time due to The Plague, I have begun to resemble my username/avatar because I have developed a more Sauer disposition.
 
I got a call about a fight in a rural bar, and a crazy man had run everyone out of the bar and was in there alone...I was the only one at his funeral and I spread his ashes on his mountain.
People couldn't understand why I went to all the bother with someone like that.
All I could tell them was," Aw hell, Iggy was my friend."

In my almost 18 years here, I think this is just about the best story I've ever read on the Forum.

Some people are on this earth to test our humanity and compassion...and it sounds like Iggy was one of them. God bless you for being his friend, Chip...he died a happy man.
 
I started riding motorcycles in the early 1970s, and had Japanese sportbikes until 1992, when I bought my first BMW motorcycle...been riding them ever since. They're called Beemers, and I was born two months after President Eisenhower was inaugurated for his first term...

Bought one of the first K75c's imported in 1986. One that had the .5 point higher compression. Quite an change from the 73 xlch already owned. Added the hard bags, progressive suspension front/rear, heated handgrips, opened exhaust and low seat kit. Back to a sporty now.

My last job (working for Pittsburgh Board of Education) was taking care of all the buildings' refrigeration with another guy. I've done commercial/industrial refrigeration since I got out of tech school in 1988. The girls at the main Food Service building called me Jeffrefrig. to separate me from another guy named Jeff. I don't know when or why they left the E off the end. It kinda stuck. I miss the girls (OK, older women in the cougar category!) but that's about all I miss. Whatever happened at Food Service STAYED in Food Service. (NOT!!!) Mrs. Refrigeration worked as a lunch lady at one of our schools, so I never tested that saying! Tele-truck-driver was the fastest form of info technology, and they delivered food twice a week to the schools.

Nice to put a face with the name.
 
Probably not. Many confuse the number after my name with a DOB. I'm about 26 years older than that would indicate. It's actually my RPLS registration number.
