Mine is simple- I'm from Tenn (Tennessee) and I'm Dave.

I noticed sandmanpipes makes pipes!
I have a few (actually 10), I'd like to convert to vaping- Can you help me?
Dave you might have better luck with a pm....I haven't noticed him in these parts for a little while.
Of course, he might just be one of the stealthy ninjas.:)

It's interesting to see what people choose to call themselves, generally tells you a little about a person, although some names you are wondering where they came up with it from, some inside joke that you don't get. I find this thread rather fascinating.
I love this thread too! Never in a million years would I have guessed your name is from chess.

Hi I am mostly a lurker but own a black black Reo Grand!

Moksh in sanskrit literally means "release" but philosophically it also means "liberation" or "liberating"
Dhua in sanskrit/hindi means "smoke".

Pretty cool huh?

And yes I am Indian and know how to read write and speak hindi. Sanskrit is to hindi as latin is to english

From the time I was 14 (now 40) I've been working as a carpenter. When framing I'm the one to work the top plate(usually 3 1/2 inch wide and 20 -40 feet in the air) and I love it. On one of my first few jobs I was on a temporary scafold(30 feet in the air, or so) nailed on to the side of the frame. It collaped while I was on it nailing the last bit of siding, while the rest of the crew watched. As it started to go I lept from the scafolding and with my free hand grabbed at a roof rafter and swung myself up to safty without missing a beat or dropping the nailgun in my other hand and then finished the nailing from the roof. The crew named me "spidermonkey". It's has been my nickname ever since... My old boss from that crew still comments about it every time we bump into eachother, lol.

I've been a scuba diver since 1990. We had a scuba instructor in our dive club and since he would go diving with us he taught several of us the skills necessary to atain the divemaster level. If you had to pay a dive shop to get to that level it would cost over a grand. A divemaster can assist an instructor in teaching a scuba certification class and can lead dive excursions in the local areas he is familiar with for pay.

Fun stuff!

:)
