Explain your user name.... Go!

[b_arrington]

Needed a handle for my Yahoo email account after college. First initial and last name.

I wasn't feeling very creative when signing up for CSR, and didn't want to be saddled with something that might change. I had another user name based on a car and city, and had already sold the car and moved. I figured a variant of my name from email is pretty safe.

I don't have 3 sons, fooled you
1960's sitcom about a widowed aeronautical engineer who is raising 3 boys alone.

My father-in-law was an aeronautical engineer at Bell aerospace/textron in Niagara falls.
Unfortunately, his wife (also my wife's mother) died in an accident 1 month after my wife and I started dating. He raised four daughters, (he had no sons) at the time ranging in age from 17 down to 11. He never remarried, always said between work and the girls, he was too exhausted to date. God bless him.
Anyways, in later years when the family would get together, and he and his son-in-laws would congregate off to the side, he would always ask "So How's my three sons?"
Karen's one sister never married.
He was one of the greatest of the greatest generation.

27 years ago we had triplet daughters and I started using Tripsdad on most forums and named our boats Trips Ahoy.

Raised 2 girls 3 years apart and that was challenging enough! Not sure how you do 3 all at the same time!

My X33, Sold, but fondly remembered every time I walk into my basement where the trophy's are.

Sharp. We have one if those as well. X77 though. Cortez silver, black vinyl.
American muscle is far from going away. Most 60s muscle is priced well out of reach for alot of people though so many cars are now hidden away. I drive my SS several times a week when there's no salt on the ground.

American Muscle is at its peak right now. The car companies are building rocket ships. Gt500's, Hellcats, Demons, Trackhawks, ZL1's.... They all are lethal.

Agreed, but they are "new" if you will. Not the oldies we grew up with. And guys now take these cars in to a specialty shop to be tuned/modified, few wrench turners out there anymore.

We were lucky that they were good kids and stayed out of trouble. I will say that when they became teenagers, having 4 women in the house helped drive more frequent business trips to Asia for 2 weeks at a time!

 

[Blueone]

Years ago when I joined we had also just joined a yacht club … we had a blue 240 Sundeck at the YC Marina. As we met new people they would ask where our slip is and I would give the dock number and they would say “Oh the blue one”. This went on quite a bit….even I started saying the blue one on B dock….after a while people started calling me blueone when they couldn’t remember my name

Like, I'd just seen the Big Lebowski when I joined this group, man.......

 

[Texomakid]

Been on Texoma my whole life. 1st boat dad bought was a wooden v-bottom with a Mercury 50 (I learned to ski behind that boat). Although I'm no longer a "kid" I am living proof that we may have to grow old but we can be immature forever

My Three Sons, loved that show.

 

[Nater Potater]

Mine's pretty straight forward; first name's Nathan, and I'm from Idaho.
For all you car guys out there

My first car; a '66 Mustang with a 200 straight-six that got sold-off for the '69 Superbee 383HP. That was one fast car in pure stock trim. Sadly, they're both gone...

Gorgeous! Beautiful car (not a fan of the green but I would take it).

I ended up buying a 73' Duster with a slant 6 because as my first car, that's all I could afford in the 11th grade. Paid for her with 2 paper routes and washing dishes at night at a restaurant, under age ;-)

 

[wyrman]

Mine is real simple. I'm an electrician.
Have been an IBEW Journeyman Wireman for 36 years.

 

[MattB92]

92? Wut that?

Well...Not to make some of ya'll feel old - But that is my birth year lol

 

[The Bill Collector]

I own a collection agency... I named my first SR an '89 300 WE "The Bill Collector" and boats collect a lot of bills (you should see my accordion folder full, I hide it from my wife).

 

[Stingrayaxe]

Stingrayaxe. No not a boat reference. In 1979 I bought my first "real" bass guitar. It was a sunburst body maple neck Leo Fender designed Music Man Stingray. I would like to say that I still have that bass. It's disappearance is a long story.
To this day that Stingray was my Axe of choice.

 

[Gofirstclass]

My Gofirstclass comes from my email address I've had for many, many years.

Funny story attached to that---we were at a party and someone asked me for my email address. I told him and a 3rd person at the party who was VERY drunk said "Was that gophersass?" We all got a kick out of it so when I got home I set up a new email address using gophersass as my login. It's still there but I never check on it

The boat name "Beachcomber" comes from my CB radio handle from way back in the early 70's. I used that handle because as a kid I spent hours walking the beaches of Lake Huron looking for treasures.

 

[Tucker K5]

My last name and my other hobby.
I’m on a forum for that as well and was too lazy to come up with a new name when I joined.
Plus it is less to have to remember.

I sold that one but still have 6 more that need restoration.

 

[Skip Boyer]

Ugh ???? just my name.

 

[JHornsby3]

Mine is just me. My email and every forum I have been on has been the same. Makes it easy to remember. And my email has been the same since before AOL was the normal. John R Hornsby III = jhornsby3. Only one of about 200 John Hornsby's in the country.
