OK, Carol, that was just too funny! I would try to come up with some equally creative explanation for my screen name, but, well, I'm feeling about as creative now as I was when I came up with the screen name. Sigh!cskinner wrote:Well....
c stands for the note that I use a thumb hole for on my whistles
ski is of course-ski the suffix Weekenders adds to everything-ski
nn stands for the Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction, reflecting my little hobby in nuclear physics
--and--
er is the symbol for my favorite element, erbium.

It's from a Herman Melville short story

Now the site is requiring at least 100 characters in this box. It would have been nice to know that bit of information before I hit submit the first time!

Anyone even remotely familiar with the gentleman pictured in my avatar will understand the 'raindog' reference, and 1970 was the year I was born.
I go by 'raindog1970' in places other than this forum, and there are so many other people using the name 'raindog' that I had to add the '1970' just to be different.
