I thought it was the same as SUPPORTER, but now I see some of us have both. If you click on the Club FTE banner, it takes you to the payment page. So it must have something to do with that. Maybe 3yr versus 1yr???


It showed up a few days ago. I should have asked Adrian or Joe on Saturday.

no need to wonder anymore!


in other news, i am gearing up for another 800 mile one way haul in a u haul truck up to bend Oregon at then end of this week. about 2 weeks ago i drove a 20' truck up there for a friend of mine moving away from SoCal and i flew home via 2 planes RDM to SEA to BUR. unfortunately we did not fit it all in the 20' truck so i guess hes getting another 20 or maybe 26' truck.

this time the flight will be out of RDM to PDX to BUR.... i love flying in the small turbo prop bombardier plane, the jet is kinda boring in my opinion. then again id much rather be up in the action of the cockpit then in the back.

In my random thought world...

I'm very glad I asked Bill about the meaning of Wpneas's name, so I can stop trying to pronounce it "waypuneous" or "weapon ease" or any of several other uneducated guesses.

Its true, Im not the sharpest tool in the tree...

People who bought a 3 year membership get to wear that under their name.

When I came up with that idea, I thought the name was clever...

Then my sister in law stated "why are you calling yourself a whipped P...."

Rats, by then it was too late to change.

In all the time I have been corresponding with you, Sean, that thought has NEVER so much as crossed my mind.

Now, however, and forevermore hence..............

Just kidding! At my age, it's likely I'll completely forget the whole thing by the end of the week!

Well, I finally settled on an idea, that turned out to be way off, lol.

You are an international traveler, and a Scout member, so I took the name and split it symmetrically.

Wpn eas

Then I separated the letters.

W p n e a s

Then I reassempled them, alternating letters from each side.

W a p e n s

Wapens

And finally figured you had Dutch ancestory or heritage and that you were a collector or avid hobbiest interested in weapons.

Your way is much more clever.😬

I always thought he was just whipping a**. Never dawned on me it was his name spelled backwards.

Golly, appreciate all the name analysis Jon, now I definitely need to keep it.

Jim, I'm going with avoid that one; whippin' aes has a painful ring to it. Don't google that either.
