Achigan is the Algonquin name of the smallmouth bass, one of my other passions. It means fierce, an apt description of the fish, not me.

Origin is a little risque...While trying to extract my arm from underneath my gf's head, early one morn, she woke up and asked me what I was doing.
I told her the story of the coyote who got a leg caught in a trap and had to gnaw it off. Even though I was the one who tried to extract myself, I told her that she was Coyote Ugly (This came about long before the movie)! Well she burst out laughing and that was her nickname from then on. She even got a license plate for her car and because COYOTE was taken she got KOYOTE. Since she is not computer literate, I have used that handle in various places on the web.
As for you vets, thanks. I did a hitch, but they wouldn't send me anywhere. I walked the line, in front of and around some BUFF's and KC-135 tankers.
It was at Beale AFB, where they filmed Rock Hudson and Rod Taylor in Gathering of Eagles. I was at the tail end of the runaway when 8 BUFF's took off one right after another. Awesome sight. Also worked at the three missile sites. Every six months was required to qualify with a 1911 and an M2 .30 cal. carbine as expert. Helped with my shooting decades later. My son and I have both purchased Henry's and plan to get at least one more to add to the family collection of firearms.

Every one always called me BigAl even where I worked. Im not that big but it seemed to be an adopted nickname. 52 is the year I was born.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Something in common. I fix them. Don't play as much as I used to. I stopped teaching back in 2009 and pretty much stopped playing. Sax and clarinet were my studies (Sax TCU Noah Knepper/Clarinet UofH Jeffrey Lerner). I've been in the repair business since 1976 apprenticing under Bob Staley. Worked for C&S Ft. Worth, Wilson Music in LaPorte, Brook Mays in Houston, Barth's Band Shoppe in Stafford, and Band Instrument Exchange when it was on W. Alabama. Took off on my own in March of 2000.
