CURBTENDER = Model of a garbagetruck I drove. Hey Stringbreaker, I pulled a Breedlove Acoustic/electric out of the recycle bin. My neighbor, a music teacher, was all over it.

Mine come from the AOL days back in the 90's. See I'm a computer tech. When I'd be helping some one on AOL I would say I'm going to go have a smoke now. Well they started calling me CigTech and it stuck.

CigTech, I've always wondered: is that a picture of you in your avatar?

I'm an Air Force missileer (i.e. ICBM launch officer). My former avatar was a pic of a Peacekeeper ICBM test launch, the system I operated before it was deactivated. Now I'm involved in testing of the Minuteman III. The new avatar is a picture I took on the island of Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands. We shoot our test launches toward the Kwajalein Atoll. Private motor vehicles aren't allowed on the island...everybody rides bikes/trikes!

I needed a quick name to use that wasn't my real name, so I was looking around the room and found ktk90w on the front of the cheapo department store computer speakers hooked to my computer. I always thought that it looked like it should mean something profound.

heavyMetal refers to the bike I owned when I first joined BF - my 1994 Davidson Stiletto - not to the music genre. Tange Prestige steel frame; the bike weighs 23 lbs and I was always getting dropped going up hills.

Back in the days of BBS's in the early 90's I use to go by "BlackSheep" on Hotlanta BBS. Had this odd young guy that was into speed metal that used the nick Kaos we use to mess with. Logged on one day as "Grim Reape"r and told him I was coming to get him to mess with him. Everybody figured out who I was and I never changed it back.
For some reason it attracketed Wife who went by Wild1. We have been married 14 years now.
6 Years ago on Oct 31 2004 6:25ish I dropped dead of a heart attack. I got better.

A character from what I consider to be one of the funniest cartoons of all time: "I am Weasel" (never really stand alone, usually on Cow and Chicken). It's probably a good commentary on my mental maturity as well. And no, I was far from a kid when this cartoon first came out.

In the mid ninties, I ran an Irish pub in Germany and often was called "The Doctor" or "Dr. Stout" due to my affinity for Guinness. At that time I had a long-haired dachshund named Guinness. I am a Clyde. Get it...Stout...dog.

Wild1 in my old "Dollar" truck (what I paid for it, didn't look like that when I bought it...didn't have floors LOL).
The real dark section in the top center is the Stent being slid in to open that plug up narrow spot.
In place and blood flow restored. 20+years of smoking, stress and a sit on my butt Job. One of the reasons I now ride. I have three of those in me now.
