I'm a draftsman

I draw using AutoCAD

In Windows Explorer, the executable file used to start AutoCAD is "acad.exe".

And the last half is just my birthday.

Here's my hint:

Better yet and cheaper, cremate me and sprinkle me in the tomato patch so yall can eat me. ☺

Long time caller to talk radio. Next on the line we have Doug from Upland.

I can identify. The talk show hosts said, next we have Mark from Travis Air Force Base, California, but I thought would just be s bit too long. 😀

[Rushmore Rocks]

I have the great pleasure of living four miles from Mt.Rushmore........and it really does “rock”.

[PROCON]

Well recognized!

Better than Charles DeGaulle, I suppose :-)

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

I’m a big fan of Mel Gibson and the movie “MadMax” and “Road Warrior”.

Hence, MadMax which was originally “MadMax the Road Warrior” at FR. But somehow it got changed to” MadMax, the Grinning Reaper” and I liked it. I recall a cartoon character who was a little grinning reaper but I have no idea what it was called.

About Obama and the Dems. “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it”. Another reason to be moniquered as “MadMax”.

Mine’s means I am a BIG as in TALL girl. Also to honor a certain tomato that is big in size.

Back in the days BC (before computers) the striped bass of the Western Atlantic was known as roccus saxatilis. Then sometime in the late 60's when icthyologists were digitizing their records, they found out that there was a fish in the Mediteranean Sea that had the same name. Since the Mediteranean fish had been named earlier than the Atlantic fish, it kept the name and taxonomists decided to call our striped bass morone saxatilis. I never much liked the new name so I continued to use the old name on my boats when I fished the NY Bight and LI Sound and still use it often when referring to stripers.

I worked below deck in the magazines.

You mean in the "clips?" :-)

In 1980, my best friend had a 62 Rambler with a three on the tree. The gas gauge didn’t work so it was always a matter of guesswork how much range was left in his “Leave it to Beaver” car. He guessed wrong more than once, especially the time he paid in advance for gas, and then drove off without pumping any.

Hi!

[ozaukeemom]

Mine is pretty self-explanatory. I was having a hard time coming up with one. So, I went simple.

[luvie]

Awesome picture!

My friends here 20 years back opined, humorously, that perhaps mine referred to Bush42's middle initial. Nope, x3! But he was better than his opponent...to a point [the one on Gore's head, anyways].

It is, however, merely one of MY initials. Heh!

[PROCON]

Thanks for your Service!

I was 1st Cavalry, Vietnam.

Got out of the service, got a job repo’ing boats. Based out of Nassau. Property crime and drugs got bad, parents getting older, came back to the mainland 4 years ago. Still keep a place on Eleuthera, but home base is on FL’s Treasure Coast.
