I attend the University of Houston, hence Cougars, or "Coogs." I was born in 1983, so I indicate my Alma Matter and age.

I picked up "The Eliminator" when I purchased my 1987 Kawasaki Eliminator 900. It just carried throughout the years. It even sounds better with a good volley of 8x81mm High explosive mortar rounds and another volley of White phospherous behind it. I sure did like "Mass destruction" with some big bullets. :drool:

My first Air Force assignment was Aviano, Italy. I arrived there at age 18, and Italy made a huge impression on me, and still effects my world view 12 years later. There is a section of the Italian Alps called the Dolomites (English) or Dolomiti (Italian). I spent many a weekend hiking and camping up there.
