    Not really a mystery where the "Backpacker" part comes from. The "85" had to be added due to the usual "username not available" message on numerous other sites, & has just stayed there (it's also the Scout Troop I was SM of for years).

    BTW Sam......I'm most envious of that avatar you use

        I got into woodworking after losing a one-on-one against a van whilst riding my bike which left me with a prosthetic titanium vertebra known as a Harms cage. Plus I'm now just trying to keep myself out of harms way.

            My name "Whaler" came from my love of Bosrtn Whaler boats.

                    I find myself reading this and wondering if I even need to explain

                    Computer Geek + Texan = hitekrednek

                    And FWIW, I actually picked up the nick while I was in the Army before George Jones released the song.

                        My buddy started calling me this because I went to class 1-97 Sergeants Course in Okinawa. He was going to 2-97 and just started calling me onedash from then on. He was about the only person to call me that and everyone else knew but since almost all of them were junior to me they still called me by my rank. But if you search it on the internet you'll get my real name since I have used it so much online.

                                        Otter has been a nick name for the oldest male of each of the last 3 generations of my family. It comes from our last name.
