Title: I'm Strawboss
Post by: Strawboss on December 20, 2013, 07:20:52 PM
I'm Strawboss, I'm married to Mrs. Strawboss. I've been a career firefighter/paramedic for a suburb of Cleveland Ohio for 24 years. On my off days, I read, a lot, I shoot highpower rifle competitively, and work around the house. I like old stuff, cars, bikes, telephones etc... I have a blue 2001 Concours which has been proven to be the fastest and most reliable year ever made by numerous scientific experts. I do all my own work on all the bikes I own. I really like COG and the forum because I've met so many nice people who seem like family, and I've learned so much here.

I guess I should also include that fairly technology challenged, not a Luddite though, no cable, no cell phone, no internet at home, no pay-pal, no facialbook, no hashy tag, no "i" nothing. Oh, and most important, my idiot brother-in-law the cop is still an idiot.

Thanks, I can rest easy tonight!
I was wondering (last week, as a matter of fact) if he was still an idiot, or graduated/demoted to macaroon. And to a lesser extent, a tool.

No internet at home, no smart phone .... how do you maintain our awareness about your idiot brother- in- law then?

Sorry to hear your brother in law made it through his frontal lobotomy.

I don't keep in touch with him and when I did it was not by choice and I merely tolerated him, all the history I have with him is up to March 6th 2006, the fact that its that way is the main reason he's an idiot, and to that I'll say family politics. MOB, there's a candy store on Brookpark road that has all the old candy from when we all were kids, not sure of the name, but it is really cool to walk into the place and relive your childhood.
