Explain your ‘handle’

If @Seapup was in the petroleum biz this might be a good play:

as in black gold, Texas tea. :oil_drum:

Neato. I’m all into healthy eating and grow my own sweet peppers. I’m not into spicey foods whatsoever, as I don’t enjoy burning my tongue, etc. Although, I will swallow cayenne pepper only if I have the stomach flu haha.

You can grow the spicy ones or grow the sweet ones. It’s not one pepper that is both. We grow the sweet ones for sake and a few spicy ones for ourselves. They are both very delicious. I’m not a fan of green bell peppers (sort of bitter tasting to me). I do love Jalapenos for a spicy but still flavorful pepper. But the Hungarian ones can be used in any dish and they just add great flavor, even the spicy ones. :grin:

I used my first name and the first letter of each word of my last name. I do this for 2 reasons, it is easier for me to remember my user ID and second, I’m just not imaginative enough to come up with something clever. :rofl:

I am short, 5’0 if I am standing up perfectly straight, and pre-kids, I was all of 90 pounds. I worked with a woman who used to say that I was just a tiny little wee bit of a person. Weebit became sort of a nickname for me.

Aww cute. My nickname growing up (and as an adult as long as my dad was alive) was Booboo. Years later, my mother said that my dad gave it to me because when I was little I used to run up and say, “boo” all the time, haha. I like nicknames. :grinning:

I didn’t see this post. And you know no one has ever asked.

TechSis is just something I came up with after using j5doto for so many years. I liked it because back then I would fix computers for friends (now they are pretty much disposable). And before you ask j5doto was from my high school days. we loved Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5, so much that me and some friends got together for a talent show and we called ourselves Jackson 5 Descendent of the Original (j5doto).

I know that should have been reserved for their firstborn children, Jackie - Brandi, Tito - TJ, Jermaine - Jermaine Jr, Marlon - Valencia, Michael - Prince,

Ha, we couldn’t even sing that great and our dancing was below subpar but we had fun trying. For me, it just stuck.

@G2740

Either G2740 changed his handle, there are two similar profiles with pics of touring bikes, front yard, open space in background, or I’m slipping…

Anyway, G7, I’d like to know. :slight_smile:

@ashtonwalky has a jet car in his front yard… :wink:

What about the handle, my man? And did you consider any others?

Well, I’m old and slipping. :rofl: Think I did change the handle, so I’d be looking at Wyze forum programming if there’s actually two profiles. Was Dave I think, shows both in my profile summary. Either works I suppose. Don’t remember. My former Road King is shown at Memorial Lake out at Indiantown Gap military reservation or the edge of it. Quiet place for a stogie at one time.

My unoriginality knows no bounds. My username for most websites have more or less been of ashtonwalky.

This originally came about when trying to set up my first email and I wanted it to be my name but that was not available. My solution to the problem was to add the letter “y.” I can’t remember what prompted this exact letter instead of another or a numerical valve.

I have a terribly hard time creating names for things. My dog’s name is the same from when I got him from shelter as puppy. They had called him “Archer” for maybe 2 days but that was good enough for me to stick with it. I have some sort of mental block when it comes to naming things lol. Let’s hope I never have a child because naming them might kill me haha.

As for the jet car, I LOVE my Miata. I could talk about all generations of the Miata for hours on end. Even before I bought mine, it quickly became a favorite car of mine. To that and, I will be at MATG (Miata at the Gap) all weekend as a vendor and would love to chat with anyone about Wyze or Miatas!

I like ashtonwalky, it’s intriguing, fun to say and memorable. The second half reminded me of this old PBS dog trainer show where the tagline command was walkies!. :slight_smile:

OP @TomG is a resident wrench hereabouts. I wonder what he thinks about the Miata :wink:
(He may be busy but I’ll take the chance, he’s a good storyteller, too!)

What year is your Miata? I came close to buying a 1990 Miata. The dealer wanted $5000 over MSRP back then and shortly afterwards I bought a house on a slight hill and needed 4x4 to get to work in the winters. To this day I still remember how cool it was to test drive the Miata. Seems like used 90s Miata’s are now selling close to the original MSRP.

It is a 1997, which is the same generation as the 90!

$5000 over MSRP is a bit much, especially at the time.

I completely understand the need for a 4x4. Thankfully, my Miata is a second vehicle, so I don’t need to drive it in snowy conditions. Although from what I’ve seen, they do surprisingly well in the snow. So much so that Mazda ran a customer outreach / marketing program to have Miata owners drive in the snow and post a picture with the top down!

I got hooked on Miatas when my buddy let me drive his around the block in highschool. About halfway through the drive I knew I needed to buy one. They are just too much fun! I spent about 8 months looking for the right one, and I’ve never once regretted it. Admittedly, it helps I bought it about 2 years before they started shooting up in value so I can call it an investment. :rofl:
