From deep in Appalachiastan...

[les]

Les here. Been lurking for a while, getting the lay of the land, doing a recon pull, and have found this group to be suitably miscreant.

Been around a little, currently in middle Virgilina (not the town, the region...), by way of points everywhere.

Professionally, I've fallen out of airplanes and broken other people's things, been a business owner, contract backcountry security guy (keeping Japanese research biologists from being 'et by bears on AK glaiciers), climbing shop owner, corporate manufacturing stooge, contractor, VP Business Development, combative firearms instructor, strategic disruption artist, and UnConsultant.

Personally, I'm a father, husband, and appreciator of beautiful women, fine rye whiskey, curious minds, free-thinking, and competence.

Essentially, a life littered with bad breaks and misunderstandings spanning parts of 7 decades, earning a couple noms de guerre along the way, aspiring to be a "criminal of purpose".

Glad to be here.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Over yonder there by you, what's the difference between a ridge runner, hillbilly, and a redneck?

 

[les]

Rednecks are geography nonspecific. Ridge runners just draw fire. Hillbillies are of old school Scots-Irish stock.

Welcome, dude. Interested to hear if your success rate on the Japanese biologist vs bears was anything less than 100%.

What part of the Appa- stan? From Eastern Kentucky here.

What part of the Appa- stan? From Eastern Kentucky here.

The part that should have been annexed as WV a long time ago.

Between Lynchburg, Charlottesville, and Appomattox... area.

C'mon now. We already own WV ...

I spent a decade in NOVA back in the day. Some legit fishing around there.

I avoid anything north of C-Ville like the plague.

So... About that WV thing...

Just read this. If we ever meet in person I suspect we'd get along well. Lots of simularities...

Never know where (or when) I might make an appearance.
