Title: Nicknames
Post by: Orion on March 01, 2013, 03:56:38 PM

We have personal nicknames for our vehicles, boats, etc... anyone do this for their equipment? When we got our Kiwo I-Jet II I gave her the name Jezebel. She was quite stubborn at fiirst but we got all of the bugs worked after a few weeks. The Trident just got her nickname and it is Anna. Yes that's right, Annatroll Trident. Here's a pic:

Yep. First auto (Rototex) was Bill. So when people would call to see if we could do something I would say
"hang on let me ask Bill".

The MHM's are Francesca and Juliette. Hell of a lot prettier than Bill.

Dryer is Steve. As in goddamnit Steve.

we named our embroidery machine and the computer that ran it Dave & Becky (my parents' names)...this was in hopes they would always communicate well since back in the mid-90's networking wasn't near what it is today(and my parents never fought)
