Nice 'stache! You're dating yourself with that F-4 in the background, LOL. 103 took over the Jolly Rogers skull and bones when 84 deactivated some years ago. They were still the Sluggers when I was in 101, 1989-92.

Hey, I have one of those old photos too!

After much deliberation, I decided to put up a picture of myself. I was afraid that I would be over run with movie offers. LOL!!!

Well anyway here is a picture of me and my friend forum member Alex Malliae. I'm the good looking one on the left.

This was taken last year (Cleveland, Ohio still has a photo booth that uses film and flashbulbs). And yes those are my real glasses

You guys look pretty cool in these pictures.Altough I haven,t meet you guys.I can tell people on this forum are pretty cool.And most likely fun to hang around and run trains.If any of ever been to n.c.To the charottle area that is.My hometown of monroe is just a few mile away from charottle.You may have meet me or walked by me.Very cool pictures every one.

Here I am at the Pennsy's former Renovo shops.

This is the image that I reduced for my avatar. Everyone at York keeps telling me that they thought I was 80 years old based on my avatar! True!

Maybe I still look 80 in the full blown image too

If you see me sleeveless, my S-1 tattoo may grab Pennsy fans' attention. It's actually published in a book of tattoo art. No residuals, though!

Hey Chris - How you like tuning that Rick 12?

Pete

I hate it!! If I would use it on stage, it would usually just be for one song. When it's in tune, it's such a pretty sound.

You're one of those crazy guys!

I marvel when they do tree work at my place, they're up 50-60 feet in the giant pines. I had one last year up one that had pulled out of the ground and was leaning, he went up there anyway. He did have a safety line to the next tree, but it still looked plenty dangerous!

Be careful out there!

Mike hard at work on the Christmas layout.

Don't know about all that space, Tex. My first job on the boat was scraping and painting the welds in the after trim tank. Then they promoted me to cleaning and painting the bilges. That's what two years of nuclear power training qualified me to do! (OBTW, it was the USS Lafayette.)

Obviously, that photo was taken a few years ago. Here's one of my family (I'm the slim, trim fellow on the left).

Yep, I remember that nonsense too. I spent 2 full years in Navy schools learning electronics, radar, and weapon systems before going to the fleet only to spend a great deal of time mess cranking, painting and scraping decks, and fixures that were not even in my weapon spaces for the following 4 years. It didn't matter whether or not the weapon system was at full readiness or not, it just had to look good! Between that and the young punk know nothing officers, it was enough to make SURE I never wanted to re-enlist. Sad that the military spends all that money and time training people and then wastes it. They wonder WHY retention is so bad?

Gee, I spent only a year in school in the Navy, and I actually got to work in my rate for three months. I was a Fire Control Technician on the USS Shangri La. After that I ran Special Services for three years and two Med cruises. It was a dirty job, but someone had to do it.

Good Evening Everyone,

Here is a Picture of my wife (Peggy) and I attending our 45th class reunion three years ago.

Makes me think of a real world Commander Whitehead. Schweppes anyone?

Greetings all from San Antonio, TX. Two pics attached...one from work several years ago (Baghdad) and one more recently at home enjoying the most relaxing hobby ever. I was able to pull the boy from the X-Box for a little while. Small victories...although I am the one who got him into X-Box years ago   -Len

Graphic Designer by day; firefighter by night....

 

Well here I am with the kids. Seasonal layoff from being a truckdriver/heavy equipment operator at a tree recycling/topsoil company, has me spending more time than usual here on the forum and of course in the train room.

 

 

 

 

And here I am with the "director of railroad finances"

 

 

 

Lastly, the theft deterrent system for my collection

 

There's gotta be a good story behind this one. And I can't believe the cop can be doing this with a straight face.

Pic taken at the recent "A" Train Show

I'm the one on top.....no wait I mean the other one

scrapiron, Texspecial, here is our latest class.  USS New Hampshire commissioning ceremony at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard a few years ago.  Note the vertical launch tubes on the bow.
