What is the significance of your forum user name?

[PG-Zac]

You mostly lost me Ray.

My Zulu is worse than your Sanskrit. All I think I picked up was you lived in Durbs, 'Geni & 'Toti for 3 decades, and you asked where am I living, and asked if I'm a pale skin or non-reflective.

I live within half-an-hour of 'Geni, and I go red in the sun.

How's that for politically correct?:D

Mines pretty easy also. But there are a lot of wlhayes out there. One of my old regionals has a set of initials for your region and it was MFS stood for marked for success. Well no one adds that so I did. Guess it work for sometime had that job for 23 years until last month and lost it in restructure so not I am looking for a job.

Late as usual, but here nonetheless. After growing up in Tennessee hills, going to Viet Nam in the Navy, getting stationed in the Florida swamps where gators roam freely, the name unused and easy to remember. New to SS, woodworking and to this forum, but have received some wonderful help and support.

Related to the computer discussion, worked for Pensacola Naval Supply Center and was assigned to the systems analyst, became interested in developing databases. Was instrumental in developing a large program that removed all those card, yes, hanging chads and torn cards that didn't work and created numerous errors, this program was all online on IBM PSII's with 30 mg hardrives and 3 1/4" disks. Learned to program in Basic and Xbase with the infamous dot prompt. Grew from that to VB and Microsoft Access to replace dBase II and III+, Foxbase and Clipper. Had some exposure to Oracle which was more robust than the Xbase languages I grew up on, but just as precise. Many of my Access and VB programs are still running and will run for the next hundred years provided the code doesn't change. We know how likely that is.

Made my first SS project this year. Not perfect, but momentarily workable. Learned very much. I don't have time to ask all the questions.

But, the name was initially tease from the Tennesse hill family who called me swampgator and my wife, Pensacola native, swamp angel. Everyone have a super day.

According to my sister who has lived and raised kids and grandkids in Pensacola since shortly after her first husband was killed in a car crash here in the mid to late 1960's, you may need to change your handle to "Slick"...
She and her husband (Pensacola native) live well away from the beach but one nephew of mine lives right on the water across the bay from the base there. A couple of her kids lost about everything in one of the storms. My nephew's new house is built on stilts. Even though he is not directly on the gulf I can see his yard getting pretty oily in a storm.

HA!! What's the vector Victor?:D

Undoubtedly one of the funniest movies of all times. A true classic with many imitators. That gets me thinking of others I really like, but that would be a new thread, not here.

If anyone has read much of what I've posted, or paid attention to the byline, mine is obvious. I LOVE my Fiat 124 Spiders and my name is Ben. I currently have six in various stages of disrepair and spare parts compete for space with my woodworking stuff in my old barn.
