Default what is the reason for choosing your screen name?

Keuka comes from the name of the lake my cottage is on (Keuka Lake). it has been in the family for almost 25 years now. i love it down there. since i have the whole summers off for the rest of my life, i spend all my summers fishing, golfing, boating, swimming, and doing watersports. and don't forget . it wouldn't be summer without it. Keuka Lake is one of the 11 Finger Lakes in Upstate NY. it is a beautiful area which was carved out by glaciers. the bottom of Seneca Lake, which is the next lake over, is below sea level. the deepest part of the lake is about 700-800 feet deep. they do submarine training for the armed forces in that lake. pretty cool.

as for the other part of my screen name (Z71), it really doesn't need much explaining. ever since i was in high school i want one. i bought my first Z71 in december of 1999. i was fresh out of college and got it a few days before i started my first job. college definitely pays off. you get the toys you always wanted in life.

here are some pics of Keuka. the lake never freezes over, but it did this year and last year. this winter sucks

The reason I picked STALL SPEED for my call name is because after the first 500 miles to break in my new truck with 5.3 and 3.73's I nailed it from a dead stop and instantly said this thing needs a STALL SPEED.Yank is on it's way,AMEN!!!

I got my from the Y2K scare, when some thought the computers would crash because of the date going from 1999 to 2000. All of our electronics at work had "Y2K OK" stickers on them. My truck is a 2000 Silverado, so Y2K Silverado.
