Member names.
I've often wondered how you came up with your names. So' I'll start first. My wife is the computer guru. When she set me up on G.B. she used her license plate letters ELUBSME. which means He loves me. And I still do, by the way. I reckon she lubs me back as she has had the plate renewed since 1988 when I bought her Dodge Raider.

When I was younger, I rode a CBX. Took it to Sturgis about 24 times. It was the only CBX there except one I saw at the bike show. I have a picture scrapbook of those trips, but I can't post them. Joe would hit me with a big timeout. 😉

Not the rat poison?
Mines part of my first name since most folk have difficulty saying it so to make it easy I shortened it to four letters. Also my parents kept it real and didn't sell out and name me Jose. And myster is to celebrate my Eastern (way Eastern) German heritage. Phonetically spelt while drunk that is how there is a "y" instead of "ei".

Easy "Hoosier". Indiana.
I'm an Indiana Boy. Born and raised in the big city of Indianapolis. Eight years out for the Army. and "Back Home again in Indiana". There for another 18 years.
Till the wife says she is moving to Kentucky to be closer to her folks. As a Good Husband I went. My Dad had died and Mom moved on.
I'm now a Hoosier trapped in Kentucky (not really).
Now I get to watch the the one Beer horse race, in stead of the 6-pack Auto Race.
I still keep my business name I've had it for 36 years. hoosiergunworks.com

I was Associate Curator at the New York State Military Museum, now in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The first Curator was a Lt. Col. Lockwood Doty, who started the Museum in the New York State Capitol Building in 1863. He started with the State's Regimental Battle Flags, and the Collections has grown ever since. We have artifacts from the 17th Century to the current conflicts that the N.Y. National Guard is involved with.
To honor Ltc. Doty, I have used his name for the twenty-five years I worked at the Museum. If you are ever near Saratoga, stop by at the Museum. It is in the old National Guard Armory. You should see the arms vault…😃

Back in 1981, I bought and restored an old '58 Chevy Brookwood station wagon. Had it for many years and toured a lot of country in it with the family. That same year, I also did the same with a '51 Plymouth Cranbrook 4 door sedan.
I flipped a coin about between the two and the Brookwood won.
This may very well be the same car. My personal pictures are locked away in an old computer. Found this on the net and it sure looks close!

@Brookwood, that is a nice ride, I’ll bet you wish you still had it. In 1968 my girl friend had a 1958 Chevy. They were built like a tank. If you had one today it would more than likely be classified as a SUV Heavy. lol
Thanks for bringing back memories of the past.

Oh yea! I surly do miss the old Brookwood wagon. My wife called it the Hall Family Grocery Grabber!
I took it up to Michigan's UP one time during a rather rainy, wet week. Of coarse the windshield wipers decided to totally quit working! I had a long stretch to travel to get to my destination and it was raining cats and dogs!
I stopped at a roadside picnic area and tried waiting out the rain, but after a couple hours I remembered something an old truck driver friend once told me. He said to take a cigar and rub it across the entire windshield. It will make the rain flow down in sheets that can fairly easily see through.
I just happened to have a box of old stogies in my tackle box in back of the wagon! Believe it or not……they worked and I made it to the resort I was headed to!
