OK, Clive.

Here's my 3rd generation Irish Mug!

Not what I was expecting either. I had this image of CP as some clean-shaven besuited bible thumper.

I'm afraid to say I once walked off a job rewiring a steelwork crane because my coworker was bible thumping incessantly to the point of harassment. Every single attempt at conversation turned religious fanaticism.

(No disrespect CP, but you have to be on the receiving end to understand.)

[LostArt]

Wow. This is great guys!!! :D I love it!

CP.........is that a recent pic? Uh....you have changed a bit in a year buddy. :D

Thanks LA, thats a nice picture of you also. What part of FL are you? My family now lives in Lake City.

Thanks Harry!

Actually Harry, the Boss and I are from Live Oak. Not far from Lake City. I'm very familar with LC. Not much to do in a little ole town like Live Oak. :D In some ways, I miss my hometown, but in other ways, I'm glad we moved to High Springs.

Your family lives in Lake City, eh? Well, it's a much bigger town than it use to be, however, it's a nice place. Known as the "Gateway to Florida". Heh. My uncle is the director of the Chamber of Commerce there and it sure has grown in the last 20 yrs, that is for sure. Not like Orlando or those cities further south of here, but it's growing up here in north Florida pretty fast.

Next time you are close, let the Boss and I know. It would be nice to meet some of you nice guys.

[LostArt]

Hey LA, we'll be in Fla. March 3rd, just thought I'd let you know...........

OMG!!! Let me know BH!!! This will be great buddy! PM me on where you will be. If it is near Swamp..........let's just make it a 6'em!!! That will be so dag gum cool....ya hear? Swamp and his Lady would love it also!!!

DDay Reenactment jump

["little beaver"]

[QUOTE="little beaver";26657]DDay Reenactment jump[/QUOTE
I'm on the left. The kid on the right completed his jump course at CFB Trenton that summer. There was almost 40yrs differance from his age to that of the oldest jumper. I couldn't even claim the oldest jumper as there was a guy by the name of Wayne Tuttle that was 1 year older than myself. He was on the only combat jump made in Vietnam with the 173rd Airborne Brigade. He wore his original uniform to the Mess Dinner that evening!
We made the jump 'bareass' in the day light as opposed to the guys on the D-Day jump who jumped at night, with heavy kit and under fire. It's almost unbelievable the courage that must have taken. I sure we are all humbled by it when we think about it.

[LostArt]

That is great LB! And a good picture. Almost 40 yrs older than the young man on the right? Wow. You don't look old to me buddy! :D Heh.

[LostArt]

Yager, I think LB is talking to you. :D Although we only had one daughter she never gave "me" a moments worth of trouble. Have no idea what you all are talkin' about. However, I'm sure the Boss might agree....to some of what LB is talking about. Although it was tough playing refree between the girl and her daddy. Boy howdy....they are too much alike!!

Oh the inexperessable joy when at last my maker calls my name!

I was the mother of a 25 yr old man that was killed by 7,200 volts of electric and now the grandmother of 3 grandaughters who no longer have they're dad and that is so so true the man that turn the line on has stood up and iI don't wish him any harm I'am not the 1 to judge. osa had made there report and thats what i have been told i have always believed in god and I trust it is in his hands . To all the linemen out there stay safe and please if they tell you not to wear your gear don't trust them my son did. :)

To all the linemen out there stay safe and please if they tell you not to wear your gear don't trust them my son did. :)

I'm truly sorry for your loss Ms. Gwen. It's something that stays with you forever. I also have a 25 yr old son. He shows no signs to ever go into linework. For this, I am thankful. However, accidents happen everyday and there is always someone at fault. He is a roofer, and he has fallen a few times, and managed to come unscathed, thank God.

The Boss, my husband, has lost some very good linemen friends due to this kind work. And I have been to a few funerals. Not in many years, and I hope it stays that way, but it does affect those that are left behind. And I've heard of how those deaths have came to be. Some by neglect, some by just one movement, and once was one that didn't check in on a line that was hot....something about not marking a pole. The guys here would know.

My father died at the age of 53 and his mother, my grandmother, never got over this death and she was 88 yrs old. She lived less than a year and my grandfather followed her in less than two months. A mother's love for a child is something very powerful. And no matter how old your children get, they are still God's blessing to you.

Anyway, I'm truly sorry Ms. Gwen. And for one so young. Nothing could ever replace your child. And nothing any of us could say, will make you feel any less grief.

God Bless,
LA

I thought I was the only one who thought they were penguins!!! Is hunting penguins legal? If so, exactly what type of wine would be appropriate?;)
Just kidding. I don't drink wine.

[PA BEN]

:eek: There are more geese then hunters can harvest. Ever park, school yard, ball field, golf course has goose crap on it over here. Even the tree huggers would like to see them thinned out. There very good eating, my partner and I shot 8 and a father and son shot 8.

[BigClive]

Penguin hunting must be quite easy. All you'd need is a two foot length of conduit. They'd just stand around waiting to be whacked.

I'll make a guess that penguins are quite greasy to eat due to their cold climate lifestyle. They'd probably just explode in a big ball of smoky flame when you barbecued them.

COOL Picts Dave!
Handsome Boy there!

Dude...You're a Drummer? I Use to do a bit of that...:cool:

Thanks for gettin this thread Back "ON Topic".
Thanks. lucky for him he got my brains and mom's looks! :p I've been a drummer since the 5th grade. I had bounced around from instrument to instrument, trying to find something that I had an ounce of talent for. Well, the music teacher, who wore his jacket and tie during the day, was a hippie who put on the tie-dye and leather vest(with the tassels)who loved to rock out. I was in the bandroom after school one afternoon, and he had a rock station on the radio. Next thing ya know there is a live version of Led Zeppelin's "Moby Dick". When Bonham took off on that 10 minute drum solo, I was hooked. Never in my 10 years had I heard anything like it. I can only imagine the look on my face because my teacher knew immediately that I was digging it. He set me up with sticks and a practice pad and the rest is history. I took to it like a duck to water. My only regret is that I never learned how to play a "real instrument", meaning I can only read drum music. It's all good. I don't play in a band anymore(work and family constraints), but I go to open mic nights to jam, and play parties with "pickup bands". Nothing too organized, some pretty good sessions with all levels of musicians. It's not the same as being in a regular lineup, but it scratches the itch to play.:D

[Dave@PSE&G]

Your pictures don't work for me Dave. I can't see them. It's okay. It just doesn't work for me. I'll take Swamp's word for it....Cute boy and cool pics. And you play the drums. :D

Great pics Dave! Well, that is neat! I laughed the other day my friend came over and showed me what she ended up with after going out to a bar the night before. Mind you, she is happily married, so she was having a good one on me. It was drum sticks with the guy's number on it! I laughed and then I noticed how beat up they were...nicks in them everywhere! I told her, "Good night! Those have taken a beatin', haven't they?" You have to know her and me, but she mocked me by doing her eyebrows up and down like she was up to no good! I died laughing! :D

Actually that is some of the old Beatle cards I still have, inside the resonater of a 1927 Gibson TB1 banjo hanging on the wall. They arent torn, just cant see em all from that angle.

Orgdlbr: First one Ive built. I just finished it. Ash body, maple on maple neck(rock maple dont take a stain easy). I put the gold hardware on it and a set 52 reissue pickups and wired it up to 52 specs. Took a month to get it all together after everything I ordered got here. Nothing ever lines up on guitars either, had to fill in and re drill holes, sand down the neck butt and the pocket in certain places to get it seated correctly. None of the thru the body string holes lined up with the bridgeplate which didn't line up with the bridge pickup when it was inplace, on and on.... I A/B'd it with my Mex/tele It does have a more mellow tone, not as much brite piercing on the high treble. I'll try and send some pics of my others , now that I have a camera I can operate.

What did you expect, After all the abuse (self inflicted and otherwise) wear and tear over the years I dont think its that hard to look at :cool: !

Oh? Well, you can't tell. It looked like it's torn down the middle.

Will you take a shot at that pic of the Beatles too while you are at it? :D

Actually I was thinking the graduated "tache was quite neat. There's something about grey hair that adds an element of dignity.

Well I'm not sure I got this right, but I'll give it a try. This was a picture I took , to put on my 20 year reunion website. My wife said , " You can't even tell it's you , with those glasses. " I laughed and said " exactly"

Actually....ya look kinda hawt there tee saw. http://www.avowners.com/forum/smileys/aa.gif

Yeah! I'm just lookin' Boss!!! Yeah, kinda like you do at the river! Heh.

[T-Saw]

Funny that you should mention the river , lol , That is what I use those glasses for, going to the river. They are dark enough that the uhhmmm , fish, yeah yeah that's it , the fish can't tell when I'm looking at them, .LOL

I just got some brand new prescription Ray Bans the other day. Holy Crap.... I just picked them out , because they fit the best, and looked halfway decent, nobody told me that they are making a comeback in popularity, and therefore also , in price, sheeesh. I'm seriously considering laser vision correction , so I can just buy sunglasses at the dollar store, that way if they get lost, no worries.

The Boss's sister had that done. I'm too chicken. Half the time I wear mine on my head! :D And I'm pretty well blind in one eye. I only wear them to drive, watch tv, or see a movie. The boss says it's always obvious when I put them on my nose. He says it's not very subtle. LOL!

I thought about this thread last night. We should start a thread, "Gotta Wear Shades" and post our pics in them! I think that would be fun. But, I'm going to find me some COOL ones if I do that! My presciptions are ....well, they ain't all that spectacular! :D

"I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can...."

[T-Saw]

" ....keep track of visions in my eyes"

" ....keep track of visions in my eyes"

:D

You are going to think this odd, but that song reminds me of my father. My children were really small (before school age) and were out by my parent's pool. My daughter had on her cute little bathing suit with some shades on... rubbing in her suntan lotion like I told her to. My father came out with is shades on and started singing (at that time the new song) "I wear my sunglasses at night..." My daugher looked up at him and grinned, "Mama, Papa knows that new song!" I laughed and said, "Papa is so hip! Papa is no square! No siree! Not Papa!" He laughed because......as you know, I was using words back from the '50's....his era.

Man....some days are so hard without his presence. I sorely miss him. But, I have my memories....no one can take those away.

The cattle, eh Alan? So, that means the crickets are still rubbin' their legs together too!

Great pic Alan! I'm glad you shared your face with the rest of us knotheads! :D

Irish ancestry by any chance?

(Pretty hard to avoid in the UK I guess.)

[Alan Mac]

Scottish Clive, Scottish. Great Grandfather (John) moved from the Black Isle to London in 1895 at the age of 25 to work as a gardener at Kew Gardens. He married a Jessie Alexander the following year. The English have been breeding it out of us for two successive generations now.
Johns younger brother James (Jimmy) was a sheep farmer on the banks of Loch Ness. He went into a partnership with a weaver called James Pringle. I don't know where the money went, but it didn't come our way!

Good to hear from ya Clive, take care man.

Mac

[BigClive]

Ah. So you don't think there's a touch of Irish ancestry in there at all? I do see a strong hint of Irish in your facial features.

Umm, that's a lovely wooden necklace by the way.

[Alan Mac]

We are pretty sure there's no Irish in us, but you can never be 100%. I we went back far enough I'm sure we's find apes! Guess that's why I'm a lineman!
