New Intro - page 1 -

• New Intro by TheTrucker on 17 May, 2008 13:12
• Howdy folks. Just signed up and thought I'd post an introduction.
  
  I'm a 46 year old straight trucker who travels all over the country. I've been shaving my noggin, mostly in the Summer, for several years now.
  
  Not a whole lot to tell really. I truck, I knit to pass my off time, ride recumbent bicycles, have a gimpy hip due to a car wreck a few years back, am divorced, no steady girlfriend these days, use Linux, and  just thought this looked like an interesting forum.
  
  That's about it.

  No problem with Tom, a little good natured ribbing is ok with me. I have a thick skin and a very good sense of humor. I knit in truckstops and biker bars quite a bit and have never had any problems LOL

  Thanks. I'm not the least bit embarrassed about my knitting. I really enjoy it and knit in public almost every day.  Mostly in truckstops, pubs, redneck bars, and biker bars all over the country. You might be surprised at the positive comments I get from both men and women about it. Of course my physical size and overall look might have something to do with that.
  
  Besides, you'd be amazed at how many women I meet in truckstops and bars because of it LOL

  Trucker feel free to pull up a chair and set a spell.  
  
  As for the knitting I'm gonna ask our membership (including Tom) if they can answer this  question! Which 1970's NFL defensive lineman knitted as a hobby? I remember the lineman being interviewed on the televsion and talking about it. He said it's a great way to relieve stress.

  I believe the answer is Rosie Greer..........

• Actually Rosie Greer did needle point, not knitting. Common mistake.
