I'm the same way...used CalFed on the LEO forums and by force of habit used it on the military surplus forums. Old habits die hard, I guess. I've used "Mustang51", Mustang", and "brody" on a few forums, but keep coming back to "CalFed".
Which aviation forums are you on?
I did an on-line and hardcopy newsletter for the local CAF unit in Dallas Ft Worth for eight long years, and shared the responsibilities with another fellow of our local on-line site hence the start of the CAFDFW handle I carried on for everything else.
(Easy to remember and I type it so fast I don't even look down to type it and I'm a two finger typist)
I used to be on 'WIX' (Warbirds Info Exchange) and a glider club/forum (TSA - Texas Soaring Assoc) for a while, also Avweb, and a couple of others
Then there were the archery forums - The BOWSITE followed by Texasbowunter.com and I taught two day bowhunter courses for state certifications so people could qualify to shoot on drawn bowhunts on government land and they had a simple forum for communication. They never had enough instructors and they'd run you ragged until you have to about quit completely to get a break. I was also the bowhunting director for our local archery club and that took up a lot of time. I did the newsletter for the archery club a few years because nobody else wanted to do it or knew how. They're trying to get me back to doing the newsletter again right now.
Also A local mountain bike club called DORBA | Dallas Off-Road Bicycle Association
I used to have so many things going I couldn't keep up with them and work too. I'd use up my five weeks vacation days one at a time to fly to airshows, etc
Then I came down with spine disease three years ago and it put a screeching halt to most everything.
I raced motocross for about ten years when I was young and 'invincible' and I'm paying for it now in my old age.
Glad I have milsurps.com and the nice people around here who share the only interest I really have left that I can still do. :thup:
Hey Calfed,
Check out my new 'handle' -
Now if you change your handle to Harled we're gonna go to virtual fisticuffs :lol:
:) I'm too old to change..
