Can I ask an embarrassing question?

[Albin]

I joined BF over 20 years ago, I've come and go as life interferes, hobbies and interests change etc. etc. blah, blah blah. Left again around the time I retired about 10 years ago and now I'm back.

So I have totally forgotten what the signature line in my signature means.

"North Alabama Desert Rat #677"

 

[shinyedges]

I'm guessing you owned swamp rats and hung out in the sr forum?

 

[shinyedges]

But I don't see any of your posts there so not sure!

 

[JWright214]

I was thinking it either related to the Swamp Rat or ESEE brand… maybe?

I'm sorry for laughing, but that's Hilarious.. could actually be a New signature!!!

677 is your ESEE "PACK number" (?)

I did own a Swamp Rat at one time but sold it years ago.

Thank you. Now I remember, I left the last time right around when ESEE left BF to form their own forum on their site. Summer 2010 or thereabouts, IRC.

So I take it with ESEE gone, the rat # no longer means anything?

Thanks for the help and lack of (mostly) ridicule!

I think we can all feel where your coming from. I can see myself forgetting with alot less than decades involved.

On the bright side, with Easter coming...

I can hide my own eggs

Maybe you owned an early serial number RAT, Ontario or Esee?

 

[Hashishiin]

Glad to see someone here for so long!

By the time I found out about RAT, I found out about ESEE, so I only owned them. Not sure if I've had an Ontario. If I did I don't remember it (sound familiar?) or I knew it for something like a Kabar.

I got Albin beat by a couple of weeks.

While I won't officially be a "senior" for a few more years, I certainly have my share of senior moments!

I think Ontario made the RAT knives.

Feb 2010: RAT Cutlery changes name to ESEE Knives.

That feature is unavailable to registered members - he'll have to get assistance from one of the moderators.

I’d leave it. Kinda nostalgic.
