So that moniker has stuck ever since. | My all time favorite guitarist. He was an true artist with the slide  , and just a "pup" when he died.

Hey Hey Hey this thread is not dead. Mine is kinda simple too. My last name begins with a "Z" as in Ziola and my occupation is an auto mechanic AKA a rench (never could spell!). My business name is------- you guessed it Z RENCH. ps. Did you here about the guy whose wife left him for a tractor salesman?
He came home one day and all he found was John Deere letter

I picked my handle out of respect for those where I live and on this forum that really are farmers. I could never earn the title of farmer with my small spread and my limited experience. I feed my family with my day job, but I play farmer on the weekends.
I mean no offense to anyone here or anywhere else, but it really grates me when city transplants move here on an acre and a half, buy a horse, and call themselves "Gentlemen Farmers". Just to clarify, I love the city slickers that move here on an acre and a half and buy a horse. I just don't love it when they think they can just assume the title of Farmer without the toil and risk that comes along with it. Farming is a hard life (however rewarding it sometimes may be). Until you have been in a position where food on your family's table is in serious jeopardy due to one bad day of weather, you're not a farmer.

I used to do some crazy things with Ductape. I used to. Got to be that my friends just always associated me with the stuff. Then in high school i started driving trucks commercially, and since trucks and CB radios go hand in hand........ my CB handle just kinda 'stuck' to me. And here I am.... on the world wide cb radio ! | |
