37&5/6, married with 3. Girl 19, boy 14, girl 5&3/4.
Served my first chicken Tartar in an ECB in about 1990 and have been learning ever since. I don't get many complaints on end product anymore. Currently using an SNP.
I live in middle TN and swim in computers all day, working for a major auto manufacturing company. (DEC Vax is as bad (or good) as it got)
In my spare time, I plug my Carvin guitar into my Fender amp and make loud noise... (Actually don't get many complaints on end product there, either) B-)

Jim here. I live in SoCal, about 70+ miles east and slightly north of LA. 39 yoa as of yesterday. Presently single, no kids. (2 very unruly dogs though). I work as a weld shop foreman for a fairly small but growing manufacturing co.( We build pressure washers/steam cleaners). I've been Q'in for 4 yrs. or so. I started on a ECB, recently moved up to a WSM. I also have a Weber kettle for grilling and for roasting chiles. As for hobbies, I love fishing; preferably saltwater- tuna, yellowtail, etc. I like to cook. I do some homebrewing, not as much as I used to. I have won a few ribbons for my pale ales in the past. This has been an interesting thread. It's good to know a little about the people behind the names. Jim
Dragon Turds are Jalapeno stuffed with sausage, wrapped with bacon, held together with a toothpick, cooked in the smoker till Jalapeno is wilted looking and soft. Then I add an extra, I put on a little Sweet Bay Rays bbq sauce.

Sliced pork tenderloin with some lemon pepper and IIRC either wooster or soy, soaked for a bit. Half a chile; habenero for Dragon, jalepeno for Wolf, wrapped with 1/2 slice thick bacon skewered with a toothpick and grilled. Worth the labor to assemble. The full name, to give proper credit is: Bigwheel's Cowtown Wolf[Dragon] Turds. Bigwheel is an LEO in the Dallas area with a twisted sense of humor. I'll see about getting him to post here more often.
