Mine came from where I live - the Seattle area in (you guessed it) Redmond, just a couple miles from Microsoft HQ.

I work in parking construction and control.  Every lane has 2 or 3 Loops. Loops detect the cars Presence for issuing tickets, raising and lowering gates. Also, be used to sense the direction and count vehicles entering and leaving. 
I cut the payment, lay the wire and terminate in the gates.

Mine is a username I have used for a long time for online gaming.  King Gorilla a fantastic character on Venture Brothers. 

The character is actually a parody of my favorite comic book characters, Gorilla Grodd and Monsieur Mallah.

Old thread. Lot of people who haven't been around for a long time. Most just moved on with life.

Before I got into SAKs, my main hobby was wrist watches.
Battery powered watches where the exception since I liked mechanical watches (hand winders and automatics) more because of their craftsmanship, inguinity and complexity.
(Which I find in SAKs too! But these I can maintain properly myself and are a less expensive hobby)

Mechanical is a username that is sometimes taken, so I mixed in my real name, Nick. Never had a problem signing up anywhere ever since.
Never got to see your watches...

Cool names.  Mine has been mentioned before but Aloha for me is about what the word means and how I try to live,  Peace and compassion.  I added 007 because I am a fan of the series.  I'd like to drop it if I could.

Both my name and my avatar were derrived from my dog, Scout, and his voice. With Boston accent thrown in.

He is a young, trim, muscular Beagle who was bred to be a giant among Beagles. Thats in terms of ability, not size..., although he is also a wee bit tall as Beagles go. Beagles are my favorite dog, followed by Brittany Spaniels. He's the fourth Beagle I've ever had.

When "on the hunt" his tail is always waving. Oh, and he is almost always on the hunt. When he catches a whiff of something good, like a rabbit, or squirrel, his baying (howling, a/k/a "music") becomes so thunderous, it can catch you off guard and startle you. But it becomes comical to watch, as he barks, howls and bays with his whole body, lifting his head up, almost pulling his own front paws off the ground. And he runs like a smurf.

He and I go everywhere together. Camping, kayaking, hiking. You can see him in my avatar, pictured in the back seat o my big old Chevy Blazer (Blayzah?), en route to parts unknown. And the look on his face just says it all: Adventure time!

Zhenchok is a nickname version of Zhenya, which is a nickname version of the name Evgeney in Russian.  Hopefully that makes sense :)

WOW,  not quite what I expected.
I knew your name had to come from your beagle that was featured in the picture.  I assumed it was a pet that you were very fond of, but I would have bet money that the name Thundahbeagle was a play on the Thunderbolt character from the old 101 Dalmatians movie.     :think:

Very interesting.

What kind of blazer did you own?   I used to have an 89 s-10,  LOVED IT!
