How'd you get that name?

I was ZO6Vettever. Avatar says it all. For some reason I could not log on as ZO6Vettever and registered as KyWstJoe because at that time I lived in Key West. Lived there about 33 years but now live in Deltona Fl. I still have a ZO6, maybe I should try that one again!
 
Bob (or Uncle Bob being his full name) was the finest Springer Spaniel in the world. He's been gone quite a few years now. He was a big one. He loved to hunt and he loved almost everybody. He was tough, but gentle. We called him Bobby. Even though there have been others, since, I still miss him very much. If he's not there waiting for me, I aint goin'.
 
Dare I say it....

For the only firearm that I like more than a classic Smith & Wesson, the Winchester Model 52. The finest 22 rifle ever created!
 
After my two favorite electric guitars - Les Pauls and strats. I like Martins too!

Been working in a research lab for over 15 years. A group of us get together for drinks after work. Research Nerd just kind of stuck.
 
I've been shooting competition for many years. When one of the "youngin's" start talking trash and would sort of challenge me.

I would say, "Well I'm kind of Old & Slow. How much are you going to spot me." So, my sons-in-law, that shoot with me, started calling me Old & Slow.
 
I like to play guitar and my amp's a half stack.

I played for about 30 years in bands always said i would quit when it wasnt fun anymore..that happened about 10 years ago..sold my BIG AMPS and "stuff" play through a 30 watt combo(no reverb i hate that sound). did play through two Peavey Renown amps (2 12" speakers in each)and two 1/2 stack 12's yup total- 12 -12" speakers 400watts RMS and yes i wore earplugs! If it's too loud your too old!

Mine's a small half stack, a Blackheart Handsome Devil head with a BH112 cab. Just right for jammin' in the house. Used to gig back in the late 60s early 70s but quit when the drummer died. We were tight. Got back on guitar in late 90s because I missed it. Not playing too much now as I'm aging and disabled.
 
when i was a teenager, i would hang out at a local hot rod shop with the older guys. one afternoon the owner said if i was going to hang around i needed to do something. everybody called him Tork..
he taught me everything i knew back then about building hot rods and when the other guys would see me building something they would say i had been "tork'd" because i did it the same way he did..
has been with me ever since
 
English Cocker Spaniels are called 'engies' in the UK. Now retired, my constant companion/partner in crime is my Engie Finley. I've been dubbed the Engieman by wife and daughter.
