Who are you??

Here is pics of me, five years ago at the Pencak Silat Paris Open. I drove 600km only to get my behind kicked and lose in the first round.... Nowadays I coach several students at matches.

I am the one on the left.

Here I am in all my hot, tired, sweaty glory after walking a half-mile from the nearest handicapped parking to a model train show in Long Beach on a hot July day:

Another holding my latest RC model prior to covering:

I guess I should have had somebody take the pic, don't tell her…By the way Cape Canaveral was a religious experience having followed those flights since before John Glen made his first flight around the world. You realize that there are a lot of very smart and very brave people in this world.

Bish I hope you didn't eat any yellow snow right there where those Penguins go…..

MMMM, that could explain a lot.

Nice picture, but where are you hiding the wife.

Great picture, jibber! I remember visiting there back in 2011. Very well-done museum.

The wife and I at Cape Canveral. 

Bish I hope you didn't eat any yellow snow right there where those Penguins go…..

U.S.S. Silversides in Muskegon, Michigan

During my morning commute

I like to build WWII fighter planes (1/48scale) and Science Fiction models. I haven’t been able to put the time into the hobby like I want but I stab at it when time allows. If I were to live a long life, I’d like to spend most of my time building models during my retirement.

I enjoy reading and watching documentaries on WWII European Theatre history. I also like to read science fiction. Some of my favorite authors are Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury and Arthur C. Clark. I collect Star Trek (TOS) novels, technical manuals and memorabilia.

My other favorite activity is bicycle riding. I currently bicycle commute 28 miles/day, year round (I’m kind of proud of that). I also join up with local group rides in the city. My family and I like riding bicycle trails. I plan on riding as long as I’m able. Here's my Chainlink page.

I was a full time drummer in my youth. I practice every day before heading off to my job. I really enjoy playing my drums. I have no desire to perform anymore; I simply enjoy the art of drumming. Some of my favorite drummers are Bill Bruford, Gavin Harrison, Neil Peart, Buddy Rich and Stewart Copeland. I like to listen to jazz.

Well heres an age progression of yours truly.

Currently I'm live'n the dream in Havelock North Carolina, and a 35 year old full time college student aspiring to get my FAA mechanics rating and my Airframes and Powerplants certification.

Enjoying my other favorite hobby

Tweenkie,

You should go anyway, you never know what you might learn or be inspired by.

My question was targeted at Tweenkie, as he was at the Chicagoland Speedway.

Hi, wolfhammer1. To whom are you asking this?

Where are you located?  I work about 5 miles from that stadium.  I actually live in Yorkville.  Are you in a club in the area?

John

Good answer, TarnShip. Yep, that's definitely Ricky Skaggs. And, he is married to Sharon White, of the Whites. Some of the best, if not THE best, bluegrass & stained-glass bluegrass you'll ever hear. My dream concert would be Ricky, Marty Stuart, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Angus Young, Eric Clapton, Steve Wariner, Eddie Van Halen, and BB King. THAT would be the ultimate concert for me...

The picture was taken in Bremen, Georgia, back in April 2012, when Ricky was playing a very new music hall there (a converted grocery store, of all things). If you look up Bremen, GA, you'll see that it is a very small town about 50 miles west of Atlanta just off of I-20. Population of maybe 10,000. Never would've thought that I'd see class acts like this in that little town, but they've got a regular line-up of big-name acts appearing there constantly now. Too bad I had to move to Charlotte, NC............

easy, DD

"He is just a country boyyyyy, a country boy at hearrrrrrrtttttttt"

that is the guy that walked holes in both his shoes on hiway 40 when he had the blues

I almost couldn't believe it the first time I saw Ricky with the Whites just a bit ago. (and Anne didn't recognize him as Ricky Scaggs at all)

Rex

The wife (Kelly) and I. I'll let you guess who is sitting down on the right signing my Martin......

Great pics guys.  Except for the first pic that is. Just don't look at it too hard

BlackSheep, Xondi is ten years old and still doing very well.  I have two others besides her and one is a working registered therapy dog.  I love all dogs but have had German Shepherds for over thirty years now.

And this is me escaping the crappy Chicago weather a few weeks ago to enjoy a nice frosty adult beverage in Mexico!!
