Pegram Newbie

[LagerHead]

Hello to everyone. My name is Robert. I have lived in Pegram since 2005. For those of you that don't know, Pegram is about 15 west of Nashville, right off I-40. I moved 32 times before Pegram, so "where are you from?" is a really tough question. But to give you an idea, I was born in Murray, UT (suburb of Salt Lake City), but move #1 was only a month or two behind that. Since then I have lived in Germany, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Colorado, South Carolina, California, Texas, Arizona, Washington, Korea, and Florida.

As you probably have guessed, I am a military brat, and a veteran myself. I am at least the third generation male on both sides of my family to be in the Army. We are also at 3 generations and counting for the females (yep, Grandma was in the Army!) I am also married to a second generation Air Force vet.

Both my wife and I own guns. She has a Springfield XD 9 that I liked so much, that I traded my Smith and Wesson Sigma 40 for a Springfield XD 40. I also have a S&W .357 Magnum and a Savage 30.06. That's the extent of our collection thus far. I am also an NRA member, and I will argue with any left winger on the issue of gun control anytime, anywhere.

My wife, Bonnie, and I have been married almost 16 years and have two children: Holli, age 15 and Nathan, 10. Nathan and I share a passion for playing drums, and Holli plays the guitar. As my avatar suggests, I am also a big fan of beer, with Guinness Extra Stout being one of my favorites. I'll also talk about beer until you get sick of hearing about it, so don't get me started.

Well, that's the short intro. I tend to get long winded, so don't ask me anything you don't want a complete answer on. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone here and keeping up with the issues related to our 2nd Amendment rights. Cheers.

Robert

Welcome to the group. I too am a big beer fan. I brew when I can. My favorite at the moment is brewed at the Spoetzl Brewery out in Shiner, Texas.

They make a great Black Lager and their Bock is dynamite as well.

Thanks for the welcomes guys. And Phantom, you definitely can't talk about Bock without talking about Shiner. Good stuff.

Welcome from Inglewood!

As for beer one of my favorites was Harpoon Ale when I lived in Boston. It does not travel well but when drunk fresh it is wonderful. The company motto was one of my favorites:

"We drink our fill, then sell the rest!"

They've changed mottos since then and I've quit drinking entirely - but still fond memories!

[LagerHead]

Good one Bill. I like "Butt Monkey" by Lion Brewery, Wilkes Barre, PA. They have three great motto's:

"Born of irreverence for your enjoyment."

"Get off your butt and grab a monkey"

"We know it’s a chimp just drink the beer."
