You have WAY TOO MUCH free time on your hands. 😉

U ulackfocus

And you're so full of 🤬 you could very well turn brown. Is your nose growing after that post? 😜 😜

U ulackfocus

I was at a district meeting one morning cracking jokes and being generally disruptive. My boss, who also knew me outside of work, was aware that I had destroyed another engine in a highly modified (380-ish hp / 18 lbs boost) Ford Focus so I was driving my second car. When he finally needed me to get serious he said "you lack Focus today". Ever since, my online alias has been ulackfocus - fishing forums, car forums, even for a couple quick questions on some camera forums (which surprised me that nobody else had taken the name).

I wasn't going to post on this thread, since I am not really sure how I got my alias....😉 But then Dennis said "fishing forums" ..... perfect opportunity to post a picture..... I'm the scruffy looking guy with sunglasses
