    It's the first part of my last name...and was a nickname I was called. Partly because most people couldn't pronounce the whole name:)

    mine, well, I like to think of myself as conservative, hence, "save money". Not that I don't spend money, I do indeed, I just try to get a good price and not be wasteful. I need to do better at it.

    I figured, given your location, you were a fan or an owner of the Iron Pony motorcycle shop.

    My maternal grandfather named all his trucks. Following his example, I named my white Ford Super Duty that I use for plowing, water and wood hauling Casper.

    I got pizzed and left the Darth Side quite awhile before everyone else. I'd had enough one day changed my name and left. Don't recall why I chose Justwood. Just did.
    I still don't know why everyone else left and started up this joint but I have some ideas.
    Took me awhile to find this place as I didn't know about it.
    SmokinJay told me where to find you guys.

    I remember that too. I’ve often wondered what happened to her too...

    The name is Gary. Sometime in the 70’s, it got mis-spelled to Gark once. Everyone in the radio shop started calling me Gark. Ok, I’m Gark.

    Ever since I had my twin boys 9 years ago I got into country music and one of my friends heard me listening to some Alan Jackson and called me NY country and started using it ever since..

    And it sounded neat.

    The reason for my screen name is because I like to do blacksmithing (when me and Scotty Overkill aren't busy dropping tree's). I am an old soul and was born 150 years too late. I love old things and also it's one of the oldest crafts but it's also a dying craft. As I attempt to make things when I get the time I've learned that it's not as easy as it looks and I hold the highest regards for anyone who makes a living doing that today!

    Mine is not that hard to figure out, my name is Ben and I'm from Pennsylvania.
    Which sucks to spell out all the time so most everyone from here uses Pa.
