Where did the name come from

[graybeard451]

Fun thread, Graybeard was my CB radio handle but just Graybeard was taken so I added 451 which was my motorcycle roadracing number in six different clubs over 23 years.

 

[escavader]

Well,I wanted a name that relates to tractors.I thought about something that digs up the ground,or to excavate the ground.Excavator was taking,even though most pronounce it escavator up here with our MAINE accents.Well anyway I combined escavator ,and a pro wrestler they called vader,to get escavader.YES I THINK TOO MUCH ,but i still like the name.If any of you folks go on any atv or snowmobile forums or what ever and you see this name its a good chance its me.I dont think any one else spells the word like ,i do ,but thats how us MANIACS pronounce it.Once i got comfortable on here,i dont mind giving my name,its more friendly.There is already an ALAN B any way
ALAN

[DieselPower]

And here I always thought, "Gee these tractor guys have strange family names, but who am I to judge."

Here it turns out most of them are made up.

Shame realy. I think Farmwithjunk would make a great family name. You know, like Arnold Farmwithjunk (III) or perhaps Vin Dieselpower or maybe reginald Dumbdog.

[bill177]

Bill is obvious - the .177 is the caliber of my competition air pistols. FWIW I shoot Olympic type air pistol. Doesn't mean I have been to the Olympics - just means a style of competition. I have an indoor range - needed something to do during the long winters. By the way, the ten ring is about the size of a pencil eraser - all shots at 10 meters.
