Who are you??

Not that I post a whole lot, but I definitely read what y'all have to say, I figured I join in!!

This was last September at the Chicagoland race with the little lady. Talk about a somewhat miserable day!!  16 hours in the rain and chilly temps to finally see them get the race in. None the less, had a great time!!

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

Buckeye - I'm a sucker for German Shepherds and she's a beautiful girl. How old is she?

When we were looking to add a puppy in our family, the missus didn't want a big dog so we ended up getting a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel.

The reason I'm a sucker for German Shepherds is because after knowing one German Shepherd in my youth who was a neighborhood wanderer, this dog was always by my side protecting me from kids who would pick on me due to my hearing handicap (I'm hard-of-hearing in both ears and wear a hearing aid) even though we never knew who he belonged to. Long story short, one day he simply disappeared. Never knew what happened to him. Only 2 possibilities came to mind - he got hit by a car or he was picked up by animal control.

Hiking with my favorite girl.

Me last June, with my older granddaughter at her kindergarten graduation. Yup, proud grampa

Tankerbuilder, sorry I didn't see your post sooner.

I am in the Nashville, TN area

I have no idea when we will be in Texas again, we always seem to be "just driving through" on the way to the Midway(San Diego), Pima (Arizona) or out to Dodge (Kansas) or something,,,,,,,,,I haven't even been to Corpus to look at the Lex yet,,,,,,,,,and the Lex is near the top of my "must see" ships

If I find out she is planning to stop out there, I will pm you beforehand,,,,,,,,,we could have a cup of bad coffee together and swap TINS stories

Semper Fi, brother

10-4. I usually can't hit many NASCAR races because of our racing season but if I do I will PM ya.

Racedriver- if you ever get into Bristol for the races, give me a PM and we can say Hi in the pits.

I had an opportunity to go to the Hendrick engine shop some years ago but didn't wanna start out at the bottom. I had been building motors for several years at that time and guess I figured I knew enough not to have to sweep floors.

cool racedriver ,on the engine shop part...i have a friend i grew up with who is an engine builder with Joe Gibbs racing,a couple years back,he was building engines exclusively for Kyle Busch's nationwide cars,then all the wierdness happened and hes just a "shop boy" ( still a builder in the engine department,but a minian still)

Here I am in the engine shop. The wife got a candid picture of me that explains the goofy look. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)

That is a great museum G-J. I stopped there this last summer on the way to Savannah and really enjoyed every bit of it!

That's me at Warner Robbins Museum of Aviation, standing in front of Ferocious Frankie.

And by the way, great museum, they have tons of jets and heavies outside.  The hangars have great displays as well.  I know, I have to get to Wright Patterson some day....

Well, here I am a few years ago. I have a brother the same height as me but about 80 lbs. heavier.

Jim 

Rex I also have a "little brother"   He is 5" taller and 85-90 lbs heavier.

With a lot less hair.  I never even got to my father's height.  John

Hey ! T.S.

  Where do you reside .? I ask this because as a fellow Jarhead you would appreciate the Museum of the Pacific War and the NIMITZ in Fredricksburg ,Texas .I know I did .      Tanker - Builder

Jester, I have a "little" brother just like your's,,,,,,,,even though he is a bit younger, he is about 6" taller and 75 pounds heavier than I am.

I just blame the Air Force's fitness program for the difference, LOL (he's Air Farce, I'm Jarhead)

Me and Household-6 a few years ago.  I gave my dad a copy of this pic and he told me: "You look a little too natural holding that Tommy gun."

Here is me...Ironman Canada, about 150km into the 180km bike part.

OK, I will play along! Here is me (on the right) and my 'little' brother at his daughters swim party last year.

It is definitely cool to put faces with all these names. Great to meet you all, again!

I have a picture of me in my shop on Facebook , I'll be darned if I can figure out to get it from there to here ! Tanker - Builder

This has been a lot of fun being able to put faces to the names here. What a great idea for a thread!

Well, here I am, in our central British Columbia back yard with my wife Jean and our two most trusted companions, Pedro and Zeus.

Great photo, Vance!  Glad to meet both of you!

Me, in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Thanks, Geezer!  I'm just a big kid at heart-  I collect vintage toy ray guns like that, have loved this stuff since I was a kid.  That gun was made by Daisy, the BB gun people.  It didn't shoot any projectiles, just produce a loud click and a spark behind the red windows on the top.   Many thousands were made and they were wildly popular , selling for about 50 cents apiece back then.  Most of them ended up in scrap metal drives at the beginning of WWII.  One like mine, in near mint condition, is probably worth about $1000 on the collectors' market today.  No, I'm not selling!

Nathan, ha! I cringe every time I see a pic of myself because looking in a mirror looks like I have more up there. :)

Chuck, that pic is priceless. Thanks so much for posting it!

Joe, that pic of you and your dad is priceless, as is your story of serving together over yonder. Bet that doesn't happen a lot.

Cadet Chuck, I laughed out loud at that pic. I hope you have a CCP for that weapon. God only knows what could be unleashed! That's great...
