where did you come from?

It was the sled I was riding when I joined. Not the most original I know! Now I don't even own that sled anymore.
 
I was born within hours of the winter solstice, so naturally I love winter and the beauty of a snow covered landscape. I enjoy every thing about winter. I also love the fact that I live where I do, and that I am surrounded by mountains. I'm only minutes away from a great adventure, whether it's sledding in the winter, or mtn. biking in the summer. I really can't believe that there are actually people in this world, that sit in a room somewhere huddled in a blanket next to a space heater, hating everything there is about winter. They just try to hide from it, and pray for summer. I just don't understand:D
 
Back in 1989 there was this PC game called "Wing Commander" ...

It was a space-combat flight simulator game, IE, Top Gun in outer space.

When you first loaded up the game to play it, it asked you to enter in your last name and callsign.

Well, just like every other kid back in the 80's who made their parents take them to see Top Gun 37 times in the theatre, as soon as you saw you had to enter in the callsign your first thought was "Maverick" ..

But, being the bastion of creativity and originality that I am, I realized that every other kid in the country was going to make Maverick their callsign for this game ...

So, thinking back to Top Gun, I remembered when the old bald dude was chewing Maverick and Goose's asses, he called them Dogmeat.

So, for some reason, this became my callsign and basically I've been going by "Dogmeat" on everything from oldschool BBS systems to video games to IRC and everything else in between for the last 20 years now hahahahah.
 
CB Handle from back in the day. When I was a kid we didnt have telephone, just CB radio. So everyone in the family had a handle. Not sure where mine came from though, thats a good question. i'll have to ask the ol man.
 
I build custom model railroads. G-Scale logging, custom airbrush work, scratch built cars etc. Zachcreek Timber Company is the name of my railroad. Sons name is Zach.
 
Sled I was riding at the time that I joined combined with my old number from my ice and X-country racing days.

Thought about changing it to something more memorable but just never have. Ever try spitting out a pile of characters when introducing yourself to a fellow snowester let alone about 30 of them at a party/event or forum ride?
 
Came from the sled i rode at the time i started my snowest account. I have since owned many sleds and now no longer ride Skidoo haha
