Mine is pretty easy, I took an early retirement when my wife took a job in Central Ca. and now I'm back working again taking care of our 3 and 5 year old sons. Someday I'll really get to retire
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

I hope I'll be able to retire early to be a stay at home dad and send my wife out to be the primar breadwinner. That would be sweet.

It was my hash name in the Wellington Hash House Harriers while I was stationed in New Zealand as a Marine embassy guard.

I do a lot of silviculture site preparation with an excavator. The special attachment that I use on the excavator is called a screefer, its like a narrow brush rake that you push the debris clear after logging so that trees can be planted. The spots (one for every tree they plant)I make with it are called screefs, hence Screefer.

My user name derives from being Scottish. I got married in my clans' kilt and at my wedding reception we all drank a wee bit too much and was asked by the maid of honour "What was up our kilts?" My groomsmen and I all looked at each other and decided to show the guests what we were packing under our kilts. It is now something everyone remembers about me now..... Don't recall anyone calling me BigJohn or Big Will afterwords though.

Good story, kilty; sounds like your wedding was about like the one sung about in "My Mother's Wedding Day" from Brigadoon, if you're familiar with that fine musical based in Scottish lore.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

LightninJoe comes from J.Lawton "Lightnin' Joe" Collins, CO of VII Corps during the breakout of 3rd Army from the Normandy beach head during Autumn of 1944 (later Army Chief of Staff under the brilliant Omar Bradley, then Chairman JCOS). I was in Eagle Troop, Second of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (Blackhorse Armored Cav) during the last stages of the Cold War and beyond. We were part of VII Corps, 3rd Army, which didn't stand down from VE day until around 1992. We covered the Fulda Gap along with 10Cav, the 1st Cavalry Division, 2nd and 3rd Armored, 2nd and 4th Infantry, and a bunch of others including Brits, Canadians, and Bundeswehr. There were about 250,000 of us including German national guard against the entire Russian 2nd Shock Army of about 1 million. And we would have kicked serious ass if they bothered to swarm the Plains of Hesse. 11Cav is now OPFor at the NTC in California.

Yes, I am. I watch it once in every thousand days.
