I play the bugle. More specifically, I sound live Taps for Military Funeral Honors at Houston National, and/or where needed, for our veterans through an organization called http://www.BuglesAcrossAmerica.org. We try to give every veteran Live Taps instead of a recording when possible.

Thank you for your service! :tiphat:

I can't even think about Taps without getting teary eyed.

Thank you for what you and your group do. :patriot:
My Dad was offered the recorded music. We were fortunate enough to get a group from the VFW who did a wonderful job, but it's nice to know there's an organization sucha s yours.

On most car forums ( My wife and I race cars) I'm Redbeard because well I have a red beard but the forum said that had been taken. So net stop was something close plus my favorite round the .45 ACP. :) Nothing amazing but it works. :mrgreen:

XB12S - I had a Buell Lightning 1200cc motorcycle for about 3 years. Buell WAS the sports bike branch of Harley Davidson until Harley dumped them a few years ago after about 26 years together. The Buell Lightning shared the same engine as the Sportster. Lots of low end torque, fun to ride. I had a 25th year anniversary edition (2008 model). Harley service and parts were still covering Buell but only at select stores. I was somewhat bitter about the break-up, but not as much as some other Buell owners. Harley CEO decided that they wanted to focus on their cruisers and maximizing profits (selling gear, merchandise, T-shirts). The margin on sports bikes are low by comparison.

Names Rogelio but in elementary school the teachers would call us by the English versions of our names, Rogelio turns into Roger, Jose becomes Joe, etc.. anyway when i was over the road if you were named roger it wasnt long till someone starts calling you Roger Rabbit. So my c.b. handle was rabbit and now rabbit212 since rabbit was already taken.

There was a TV series back in the early 1980s called, Filthy Rich. Slim Pickens played a character named Big Guy Beck. Actually his character was dead, and only make appearances by video with some new demand for those hoping to inherit his wealth.
Any way, my lovely little wife started calling me Big Guy. I hated it which ensured that she would never stop.
Eventually I just got used to it. So when I needed a road name, that was naturally it. It followed me to the Internet too.

On a side note, Google up some Delta Burke photos from that era. :evil2:

AlfaBrewer comes from two other activities I enjoy. Alfa Romeos, my daily driver was an 83 GTV6 until I started taking it apart to get it painted. I also brew beer. Good beer.
