I formerly used my proper name... but, alas, I was confused with my Father, who has a similar name. So, being in Reno....

Need I explain?

Cause I'm all over the Twin Cities and I'm proud to be called a sparky!

Well some time ago I needed a user name for, well who knows what. But I do remember I was having a pint at the time and the name of the brewery that brewed it was "BIGROCK" so I tried that but I guess somebody had beat me too it, so feeling lazy I just added an extra "k" to the end of it. It worked for whatever I was trying to "signup" for at the time and I have been using it ever since.

Hmmm...now I feel like a pint

My ECN "Handle" - Scott35 - came from my age, back when first becoming a registered member - along with my first name.

The more current version would be Scott41, which will be revised to Scott42 in a few weeks!

That's Cool!!!

Do you prefer ALCO Steamers - such as 4-8-8-4 "Big Boys", 4-6-6-4 "Challengers" and 4-8-4 "Northerns";
- or -
ALCO Diesels - such as the RS-2's, RS-3's, S-2 yard goats, RS32's and Century C636's.

There's a Railroad Museum near us (within 100 miles near, that is!) which has an operating RS-2, + several other ALCO Diesels (which need restoration).
For $20.00, you get to operate the RS-2 for like 30 minutes or so, running around some local trackage.
The 30 minutes includes instructions on how to operate the Locomotive. Instructor remains in-cab throughout the run time.
Very nice experience!

Yes indeed I do, and I knew several riders who fit that first description!!

I also know someone who was wide, fat (but only 18) and rode a KX-80 Big Wheel.
(For you non-motocross folks, picture the fat guys on minibikes and that was this guy.)

Now I'm just old...

Well, as far back as I can remeber. Since I started in the trade back in 97', when somebody needed an electrician out on the job. Most of the time they would just 'holler' out , "hey lec-trician!" Gotta love that southern slang! Some other journ' freinds of mine started calling me Luketrician, sounds close to the afformentioned above.

Luke

Mine is another nic named after a cat. "Six Pack" has six toes on every foot. The name was shortened to Sixer.

Hey Sixer I noticed from a previous post that you are from the Trail area...I spent my teens in that area...your first name isn't Randy by any chance is it??

I'm located in a city called naperville, and I mostly work as a sound technician, so thats where the name came from. I'm 18 y/o, and just getting started with electrical stuff.
