New Member Intro

I have to wonder if FEO at the end of your name means Fire Engine Operator.
Hahaha while it does fit my brother's occupation, I acquired that name a looooong time ago when someone in middle school realized that my name "Matt" in spanish (Mateo) conveniently rhymes with "feo" (spanish for 'ugly'). Fortunately my wife looked past the "feo" and decided to keep me around.
 
@snert Here’s an old thread where he talks up some 155 Bergers he loaded up in a TRG22 that I graciously acquired from his family after he passed (I’m still shooting the same load today).

Thanks Mateo. It is weird in a way how we can be "immortal" in some sense on the internet...yet as grass withers in the sun, so is man who passes away...

Welcome aboard! Some of these guys proudly wear the curmudgeon badge and consider people our age "kids" still, but they're all good folks and are more than willing to pass on their knowledge to those willing to listen. Best forum on the net and being a supporter, you already have earned some respect.

Cheers(!) from behind enemy lines in PRK.

Indeed. I remember him saying to me, in his shop, working up loads, with a fat dip of Cope in his cheek:

"Son, you gotta do what you love for as long as you can. I ain't pushing daisies yet, so until I am, I want to share what I know with all you young fellas to share with your kids someday."
