Hello. Dog here. Like the Hermit, I have been lurking quite a while. I may slip and sign Hermit to my posts, it's my usual handle! No kidding a month ago I started thinking of different ones to use on this forum, I don't know why. I wasn't in any hurry anyway I was on dog time or teardrop time as you folks call it. Then I saw Hermit, the Maine people joining and "the dog" just came to me. It's me. "The dog" is Diogenes nickname. An extremely colorful character to say the least, student of Antisthenes whom he soon surpassed. He believed in the philosophy of a dog. The truthfulness, the simplicity, brash and unashamed. When he saw a child drinking from cupped hands he discarded his own beggars bowl saying "the child had bested him at simplicity".... Where am I going with this? Who knows, I just like the guy and I already forgot my point Oh yea, the pure simplicity of teardrop camping, time is moot, you know.
To you Maineacks in the area, I'm North side of Monson about 10mi from Greenville and Moosehead lake. I may be a hermit but I'm not totally unsociable and can be of help. Got mucho tools like you know, 220v wire welder with gas, compressors, nail gun, generators, also barn, acres. My Ex just graduated UMO BSN program this past fall. Phi Beta kappa stuff or whatever it's called, smart lady. Smart enough to dump the dog
Oh yea, Chatam NY! If you see this thread. I know Chatam well, but it was many moons ago. Loved the fair and the stock especially.
I make knives. Website is in my profile and a 10 year old mug of me before I shucked 75 pounds. I love dogs, wild critters that hang out here, outdoors. The 2 in my avatar are mine, Eeyore and Bo-wu. They are Chinese Hairless Cresteds, yes they are naked ones and need the pajamas. Coats too. Of course dad picks out their outfits, dresses them, cooks for them and treats them much better than himself.
I have 3 different teardrop designs I wish to build. One a traditional for sure. 2 I have to get permission from Starfleet Command to post specs of, or at least ask Elvis.
Am I nuts? Yea. Opinionated? yea. Tactful? no. A fine handsome very strange catch for some teardrop girl? hell yea Full of "it"? yea... Dog
