I was 'Butch' before I got home from the hospital I was born in . As I progressed I became GODDAMNIT ! BUTCH and was known by that nickname for many years .
20 years of trucking brought a smidgin of respectability and folks started calling me 'Truckinbutch' . I'll leave it at that .

Sgrizzo in the Disney's Duck family is one of the many cousins of Donald Duck. He is the craziest and clumsiest one, I'd say. That's why I chose his as my nickname in all forums and real life groups.

Back in Oz a croweater means South Australian, started as a slur , worn with pride. Figure you'll eat crow you'll do what it takes to get er done. Have I used crow for food? Well sorta, I used it for bait to catch yabbies ( crawdads)

I built a pizza oven in the backyard that had an entryway that flared. In order to match the smaller inner arch to wider outer arch I had to shave the bricks, making them look like I twisted them.

Long time ago I was training and breaking in four young Quarter horse colts of the same age, and at the same time . I named them "Double-head" (after the construction nail), "Jug-head", "But-head" & "Knot-head" respectfully.

My present avatar may be rotated out soon, but it is from a photo of a 500yr old or so, gargoyle mounted on a building at Oxford University.

Antler contains my last name and I love moose meat so its has been my nickname since I was in boy scouts. Someone else already used it and I was always a huge Jeff Gordon fan so just added 24 to it.

I’ve had many race cars and one in particular went through money like poop through a goose. Leave the line at 8000 and shift at 7500 or so and either tear the clutch out, twist an axle or studs or the familiar break a spring and drop a valve one. Guys told me I’d go broke running heads up drag racing out of my own pocket. Put the name on the car for spite.

Later, had some good cars and then another that seemed to find every reason it could to spew parts. Named it goinbroke2.

Still got that.....car, in the garage waiting for my anger to subside some year. Lol.
Numerous 57L kegs, some propane, one 220v electric with stilldragon controller. Keggle for all-Grain, two pot still tops for whisky, a 3" reflux with deflag for vodka. Coming up, a 4" perf plate column. Life is short, make whisky and drag race!

Yup, it ain't about cubic inches, it's about cubic dollars. Don't race anymore myself.

The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys . Nothin wrong with that . My recently deceased Father was asked what he would do if he won the lottery :
'Just keep on farming as long as it lasts .' was his answer .
Do what you want as long as you can . Life is short . He was 3 weeks short of 90 when he passed .
