How did YOU come up with your name?
« Reply #20 on: October 18, 2008, 12:37:08 PM »
well, most people reffered to me and my brother as simply "Phlox" (our surname) in primary school (we went to different ones for some reason) but we went to the same grammar school, so his friends always called me "The Barbie Phlox" and it stuck

Anderson County Automotive Machine Shop
 
I own, and used to operate an engine rebuilding machine shop before I got this job in the oilfield. My accountant told me to have it back open by the end of the year so I can use it for a tax write-off this year. (I still owe the IRS $9,000 from last year) I plan to build racing engines in my spare time and buy a few more machines for an extra tax write-off. (plus I have been spending $550.00 a month for a building to keep all the machines in, and I bought one back in Feb so I may as well use it)
