Way back in the second grade, back in the early 1960's, my Grandmother gave me some old Tarzan books with really impressive dustjackets and I discovered I could buy books in school from Scolastic Press. My best friend started calling me a bookworm. It stuck. I still have the Tarzan's and have added a few thousand other titles.

I can't spell. Thats another trait I have embraced.

bukwrm.com is my web site.

bukwrm is my trucks license plate number.

verse2damax: versatility to the maximum

When I was in college I was very good at a number of different things:
illustrating (realistic & cartooning), model building, soccer, basketball, academics, singing… I'm boring, yes I know. Anyway that's for real, I do not in any way limit myself, once the interest is there I'm going all out.
Regards

Seamonster is an in joke between my daughter and me that started when she was just a little girl. No, I won't go into the details and embarass her because she's all grown up now and has a daughter of her own. She's very artistic and has drawn many pictures of Seamonster, including the one in my signature.

Registered when I first found the MR forums in ????. Still can't remember the user name from that first registration. Using my name (and my eMail address) solves the memory problem.

Well, almost solves the memory problem. I have a Very Local Home Page (it lives on my C-drive) with user names and passwords for most of the sites my wife and I visit frequently. THAT really solves the memory problem.

My two hobbies; Model Railroading and I collect Rock N Roll Oldies (was a radio disc jockey for years). Railroad tracks and rock & roll tracks. My first name is Jack. Could've done JacksTracks, but i thought the "RR" in "trrx" was cute since it captured Railroads and Rock n Roll. If I was doing it over, I'd just use my name.

5415 = the # of the first locomotive I bought when I got back into the hobby in 1997 which happens to be an Athearn SD40-2.

My wife has a lot to do with my screen name.
When I go down to the local MARC station to watch trains, my wife would say,
"are you going choochin again?"
I thought that would be a unique name but lo and behold.
choochin1,and choochin2 were taken so I would be choochin3.

Cheers,
Carl T.
I'm out Choochin!
