Greetings:

Hi there and thanks for the welcomes. Actually I'm not really a "slob" at all but most everybody in the Navy has a nickname or handle they go by and I was blessed with this one after trying to facilitate repairs to an aircraft radar system and had books, prints, and about three chassis assemblies torn apart and all over the shop out in the middle of the ocean. We were ramping up to bomb Libya and needed all radars working. Wasn't too bad till the ship hit a very large wave at high speed sending shock waves throughout knocking over several cups of coffee and making a mess of everything. It was just about then the division chief walked through the door holding his head after bashing it on the bulkhead, (wall) from the same wave, seen the mess, and called me an effn slob; the name stuck. I'll have to unbury my old car in the garage it's been setting in for over a dozen years and snap a photo. It truly is a "garage find" although I've known it's been there all these years. I've not had the time, nor desire for several years to work with it as have been busy with a lot of other things and ventures/adventures. As I near retirement, I'm finding the interest rekindling a bit. When this car was given to me by the original owner after pestering him for years, I swore I'd never sell it; so far the word has been kept. Sure wish he were still around but dioxin got him from military service is southeast Asia. I didn't join up to get a few questions answered, a few parts acquired, a few stories swapped, or anything to serve my own purposes only to disappear. I'm planning to stick around a while. Reading some of the posts here is seemingly quite a few old timers whom have been around some time. This in itself is appealing to me. Thanks for listening/reading. Slob
