I asked Mike to change my username to Tim B.  The name "tubig" was a play on words (tubig means "water" in Tagalog...Philippine language) of the nickname given to me by my work colleagues when I lived and worked in Subic Bay, Philippines (the nickname was "too big"....don't ask, another long story).  Now that I am retired and those Philippine days are long behind me I wanted a more down-to-earth name.  

I have been contemplating this for quite a while and since today marks the 18th anniversary of my joining the RCSB family I thought it a good day to make the change.  I hope this doesn't cause too much confusion.

Funny how those nick names follow you. I run into high school friends ( I am almost 58 now) and they still and only know me by "Chico" which is the proper pronunciation of my last name but not spelled correctly. Almost none of them knew/know my first name is Mike/Michael. 

Any way welcome Tim B as you will be known hence forth!

Sure beats my nickname of Garbage Gut.  So named because wherever we deployed to (Africa / Mideast) I could eat the local dishes and drink the local water with no ill effects.  Not so for my traveling companions.

Welcome to the new name.........

ok Tim, nicknames always stick with ya. I've friends who

for 40+ years have known me only  as "Smitty". Don't

 think they even knew my given name--Dale.  Also

remember Subic Bay very well. Pulled in there with

with 3rd Marines in '58 (operation strongback
