Nicknames
« on: March 01, 2013, 03:56:38 PM »
We have personal nicknames for our vehicles, boats, etc... anyone do this for their equipment? When we got our Kiwo I-Jet II I gave her the name Jezebel. She was quite stubborn at fiirst but we got all of the bugs worked after a few weeks. The Trident just got her nickname and it is Anna. Yes that's right, Annatroll Trident. Here's a pic:

Yep. First auto (Rototex) was Bill. So when people would call to see if we could do something I would say
"hang on let me ask Bill".

The MHM's are Francesca and Juliette. Hell of a lot prettier than Bill.

Dryer is Steve. As in goddamnit Steve.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

we named our embroidery machine and the computer that ran it Dave & Becky (my parents' names)...this was in hopes they would always communicate well since back in the mid-90's networking wasn't near what it is today(and my parents never fought)

Our Titan also got Annie.
Our horizon got Arnie.
Our dtg got Pita. Not for flatbread either.

We even put the dtg name on her. In vinyl. It will come off if she changes har attitude.
