Hayslope is the name that the original owner gave to our house.  It is a Revolutionary War era (circa 1761) carriage house that was converted in the early 1900s into a home.  The property it is on was a hay field at one time; hence the name.

Got mine really from my lab jake and from my sister. My sister used to call me "Jdog" growing up and then my lab Jake was also nicknamed Jdog.

I love to bowhunt and Christ redeemed me.  In John 3, Jesus tells Nichodemus "Ye must be Bornagain".  That is what Jesus has done for me.  I have been born again, a new person, and a new Eternal life.

Born with it, shortened of course.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Mine came from another forum I'm on. Was searching around when I found this site and used the same handle. At the time I didn't realize I had found the best site on the web. Wished I would have come up with something different now.

Leatherneck is a military slang term for a member of the United States Marine Corps. The dress blue uniform still bears that stock collar today, while the service uniform's standing collar was changed to a rolled-flat type prior to World War II. Now accepted by Webster as a synonym for Marine, the term "Leatherneck" was derived from a leather stock once worn around the neck by both American and British Marines—and soldiers also. Beginning in 1798, "one stock of black leather and clasp" was issued to each U. S. Marine annually.

Your history lesson for today. My avatar is me placing the American Flag in the sand in Kuwait the day we took it back from Iraq.

Great thread! LoneWolf= Because I do alot of things alone.  I like to run with the pack when the opportunity arises but usually end up just doing it alone. 73 is the year I graduated from High School.

Just an old military saying;   "This food's as bad as sour owl manure"

Just liked the sentiment- - -
