    A few years ago I would go hunting in my old 1976 chevy suburban that I painted in a ZEBRA type camo. ( ala Ted Nugent).
    The 308 is for the car and my favorite caliber for long range shooting!!!

    I don't do traffic. I make plans to avoid it at all costs.

    The thought of an open road puts a smile on my face.

    Originally when I was signing up for my first email account in 8th grade or so and I needed something creative. I thought Beechcraft/Raytheon Kingair's are pretty cool so I went with that and I wanted number 32 but only 33 was available on hotmail so I took it (who is the bastard who took Kingair32!). I have since forgot the password to that email address so it really doesn’t mean anything anymore I guess, but at least I won't have to change it in the future I guess.

    I loved being a 19D Cav Scout. I spent 3 yrs (85 to 88) patrolling a border that no longer exists when I was in E Trp, 2/2 ACR over in Germany. We had the sector from the Kronach area to the area just south of the tri-zonal point (where FRG/DDR/Czechoslavakia came together).

    Here's a pic of my ITV at Graf w/the Hammerhead raised firing a TOW and also here's a pic of me on the border. Man I feel old knowing I patrolled a border that no longer exists and came down 20 yrs ago...

    Zaevor2000- 2000 was the year I started using this handle and zaevor was just a weird name that I made up, but it makes it real easy to just type in a z and my handle pops up (not too many names/handles start w/ a z ;)

    Spending 3 yrs running up and down the border (especially the times wading through the snow) pretty much killed my desire to "get out and be one with nature". In the 20 yrs since I got out I have never gone camping since (and I used to do it all the time growing up)...

    Toggie (pronounced llike the word "foggy") is the name of my son's childhood imaginary friend back when he was 2 years old.
    That was over 20 years ago.

    Toggie was a robot friend with many amazing qualities. For example, he was 50 foot tall and only my son could see him.

    I use it as a user name on various websites because it always brings back happy memories.

    E60 M5, well it was at the time, the pinnacle of automotive ownership for me.


    Actually, on the M5board I am Rodman31 and thought people might think it odd here. rodman = my nickname in the fire department, 31 = my firehouse number

    Did you always hear your full name on the first day of school roll, or did they shorten it?

    I've defended lots of organized crime types -- ergo the name given to lawyers who are close to the mob (although I'm not) -- "consigliere."

    The Johnnie Cochran avatar is mostly just for kicks, but I do admire his ingenuity. That's what it takes to acquit folks charged with horrible, horrible crimes.

    Named after the great man himself.... Don't think he was a "Sir" but still sounds quite good.
