I'll start. Tooln is actually short for tooling around. When I was a kid me and buddies would cruise around in whatever or whoever's car/truck had gas.
Tool around (in something) to go around in a car; to speed around in a car. Who is that kid tooling around in that souped-up car?
That phrase stuck my entire life. When personalized plates became available TOOLN was the plate I got for the bike.

Riggs is my dogs name. He's a German wirehair pointer and has been my best dog to date, I would put him up against any dog out there. My wife thinks I look like him too so I took his name.

Went to a Ted Nugent/Bad Company concert a few (or many) yrs ago. Ted grabbed a bow and shot a cutout of Sadam Housain with a flaming arrow, then played catscratch fever. One of my buddies said something about me always shooting a bow and was "as crazy as that fucker". Catscratch stuck for a while and then faded away with my youth. When I tried to come up with my first forum name my first like 8 choices were taken. So I tried this one and it worked. Used it ever since.

J-bird is a nickname my grandfather gave me. Most folks just call me "J". Real name Jason. 99% of my family calls me "J". I can think of 3 or 4 people that call me "J-bird" on a regular basis and they are all pretty damn special people to me........my folks and wife don't even call me J-bird. Not that you all are special somehow in calling me that, but when I hear it or see it, it reminds me of my grandfather in particular. Puts a smile on my face and a tear in my eye.
I also answer to "ass-hole", "dumb-ass", "shit-head", "dip-shit", "fuck-tard" and other various derogatory terms of endearment - these are typically the things my wife calls me!!!

NH because I'm from New Hampshire. Mountains because that's where I like to be.
Theres 48 4,000' mountains in NH. Most are part of the Appalachian Trail. I'd climbed most of them when I was younger. Some day I hope to climb them all and complete the AT some day. I'm going to have to lose more weight to do that

I will but, it may be a few years. This guy is one of the people I look up to and respect. He grew up in a small town. Worked in a saw mill. Lost an eye. But has shot at least 13 deer that make the NH record books. Most on public land. He's very modest and would give you the shirt off his back. He shot the heaviest deer in NH in 2015 less than 1/2 mile from my land. He took up hiking when he retired and hasn't stopped. All with one eye. thetrek.co/interview-with-new-hampshire-hikers-nancy-and-charlie-foote/

Mines not so special. It's just a mash-up of my full name. I pulled a few letters out to make it easy.
