I"m a guy who drives a truck... with very little imagination, apparently...lol!

I've been driving for a living for the better part of 28 years, mostly big trucks of various types. I wanted to drive a truck since I was a little kid so it's a very deep part of me.

I was only on one other forum for so long and my handle was NVME702. It originally meant Envy me and the 702 was for my area code in Las Vegas, Nevada. So it could also mean Nevada me, and that's what I'm referencing now since I've moved to Texas.

My old 1980 3/4 ton Chevy plow truck cut it's teeth in Alaska and it has a sticker in the rear window that says The Road Ends in Tolketna.
I am not concerned enough about the spelling to go out there right now and check the sticker.

I call you a little guy.

Mine is self explanatory as well. I've got a few other handles, one a college nickname the others my actual full name. Honestly they don't mean anything to me.

I chose ArmyDoc because that's what I was... Now than I've been out half a dozen years, I guess it doesn't really apply. Then again, my military career shaped a lot of who I am so I guess once an Army Doc, always ArmyDoc - at least for me.

Cool thread! Mine was formed when we bought our montana land during our honeymoon in 1990. My then husband joked that I loved the pine trees most of all. Thus Sisterpine....then for online poker folks thought I was a nun LOL and I let them. Then as my business grew and we made "nakedpines" coat trees it just stayed stuck.

Drove a school bus for 30 years. Buslady

My husband drove a road grader; hence Graderman. He has been gone 11 months now, and I am still having a hard time.

macybaby is the nickname of a horse I had - she was 6 months old when I brought her home - Before that I used "elliefatmare" . . .

My problem - people think Macy is my name, and that I'm trying to be cute or sexy using the "baby" part.

My late brother in law was 6' 9" but skinny as a rail.
The biggest guy I have ever seen was huge.
My 6' 4" didn't make it to his shoulders.
I put him at 7' 6" tall
He came in stooping through a set of double doors and I saw his Ford pickup outside.
Take where the driver would sit and right above the windshield cut the roof out on that side of the cab.
Go back two feet on the box and cut that away too.
He had as window to look out above the windshield.
There was a large plywood box with a large plywood door.
I never saw him or that truck again. He must have driven a ways to get to that wood stove store.
I remember as I walked past him I was thinking that huge pair of bib overhauls would make a nice pup tent for my sweet wife and me.

Sorry for your loss Budlady. I just noticed where you at in Mo.
I am originally from Mo and I will be at Bennett Springs in June of this year.
Maybe you can come by the spring while I am in the area.

I agree that this is a Fun thread to read through and enlightening for some names I didn't understand!
Yes,mine is part of me although I think I invented a slightly awkward one. I'm "into" growing a lot of food this stage in life and also keep growing as a person,enjoying new experiences. I was new to beekeeping when I joined and wanted that exciting part of me in it.

There was a time when your name and your userID were not allowed to be the same on many systems. I have two that I use. Highlands which is what I use here comes from two things:

1) I like Highland cattle. My uncle raised a large herd of them for half a century and I always enjoyed visiting them when I was growing up. Someday I might have some. For now I raise pigs - they reproduce a lot faster and grow faster.

2) Perhaps more importantly I'm from the highlands, the upper lands, the mountains as opposed to the valley lands. I've almost always lived up in the highlands. I like being high up. Less flooding.
