I have another Hobby I love and it's RC aircraft. While living in Williston North Dakota oh....30 yrs ago had one of the guys in the local RC club introduce me to slope soaring. That is, flying un-powered aircraft on the up currents of a slope like Hawk/Eagles do. I was hooked. Since the wind blows there (a lot) and we had a great slope to do this activity I had(Have Still) multiple sail planes. One of them, which still to this day is one my favorites, was made by a company called Craft-air and the model a "Freedom", it was and still is a great flying plane even being 31 years old.

 

Mine is plain but the M is for my first name and the rest is my last name spelled bassakwards.

I was a competitive shooter for 25 years and was a gunsmith for 20 yrs. My speciality was high powered, spring powered airguns. Our "BB" guns (no bbs only pellets) that we use are capable of 1/2" groups at 50 yds and will blast thru 1/2" plywood at that distance with ease. Not something for the kids to play with. Thus my name " AIRSHOT" has stuck with me for 20 yrs.

 

I've been a musician my whole life and I'm always listening to music. I played in a bunch of punk and hardcore bands and my favorite band is a punk band called bad brains. They have a great song on the i against i album called reignition and it's a favorite.

 

When my first nephew was a baby, he randomly started calling me RaRa.

I never had a nickname growing up, so I decided I would let him keep calling me that.

17 years, 1 more nephew, and 2 nieces later, and I'm Uncle RaRa to all of them now!

I changed uncle to "Unkle" because isn't it cool to misspell words on the internet? haha

 

My canoe is from Great Canadian Canoe Company. The 16 is because I had to reregister and couldn't use GreatCanadian again!!

It is what I drive.

 

I've worked at an oil refinery for the last 25 years. Much of the time in a crude oil distillation unit.

 

My last name.

 

I've been a boatbuilder and composites fabricator since 1975.One of the best resins that I've used is called Hydrex. A modified epoxy vinyl ester resin . Ok, it smells bad, kinda like me after a bowl of my wife's spicy bear meat soup. Different, but equally eye watering.
