Lt CHEGMy undergraduate degree is in chemical engineering. My alma mater abbreviated chemical engineering as CHEG. I graduated in 2001, around the time I started lurking at SIGforum, so that was fresh in my mind. I’ve also been a volunteer firefighter since I was still in college and at the time I signed up I was a newly minted lieutenant. So I put 2 things together that had personal significance and Lt CHEG was born. I’ve since used that handle for pretty much every online forum that I’ve joined. I’ve been an engineer, lieutenant, captain and assistant chief in the fire service, and I’ve also been a uniformed police officer and federal agent but never held the rank of lieutenant as a cop. I just use the handle out of habit now.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” December 16, 2021, 08:00 AM
TheFrontRangeWhile I don’t live in Colorado, it’s long been one of my all-time favorite places. I’ve had family and / or friends there going back to some of my earliest childhood memories.
About the time I signed-up here, we’d not been back too long from a visit there; the Front Range of the Rockies were fresh on my mind.

OzarkwoodsWhen I joined Sigforum, I had just bought a 239, we lived in the woods 17 miles from town in the Ozarks. So I used the name Ozarkwoods. We have since sold that log home, did full time RVing for 8 1/2 years, and have now just built a house back in the Ozarks near Branson. Our plans are to winter here in Branson, and summer in the Black Hills in our fifth wheel RV.

UA5 - Chassis code for a 99-02 Acura TL which I was driving at the time.
Never bought the 250, but do have a 320 on my hip right now.
Acura has been gone for about 6 years.
