What do you look like?

[Novella]

I don't have any recent pictures - this is from a few months ago:

Me in a fun hat when I was little:

Ahhh - all my other pictures turn out huge when I post them.

 

[jamespowers]

I tried like heck to get this thing right but the picture was welded to the glass when I tried to remove it from the frame. Obviously I couldn't get rid of the glare. All the pictures turned out that way. [huh]
Here is my contribution anyway;

Chapters of Paddy's Life...

Once upon a time, Charlie had three Angels...in fact there were originally FOUR, but ONE fell from grace (In fact, he was a 'wee' Deeevil, and some might say..still is at times!). This Fallen Angel's name was...PADDY!

Sailing a 30ft Schooner on Strangford Lough out of Sketterick Island, Co. Down.

My idea of a paddle!! Kayaking on Lough Erne, Co.Fermanagh.

Boxing Day (day after Xmas) yomping in the Mourne Mountains, pure heaven!

Then dash across to County Donegal to cool off in the surf!! Burt Lancaster, eat yer heart out, Deborah Kerr's all mine!

Just can't beat having a good family for support. My folks!

That Old Devil called Paddy is at his tricks again! The cad swaps some of his old garden rubbish for their pocket money!

Back where I feel most at home, in the mountains!

Hangin' on for dear life...

Me and Arizona...

This meal required 8 hands to cook! ie me being non-vintage with girlfriends:

Both hats belong to the Colonel, sorry, can't answer questions about them:

Quigley, where's that photo from?

Hey Quigley, where was that photo taken...the one of you rock climbing? Based on your location and the looks of the photo, I'd say it's in my old backyard...Shenandoah National Park, Virginia! Let me guess, either Hawksbill or Stony Man overlook.
Cheers,
Mike

Nope...it's called Sugarloaf Mountain up in Frederick, MD.

Here´s me, doing what I do best. Not a very good pic, though.

Still loving this thread

You know, often when I walk the street and see people, I wonder about their story, who they are, where they've been, who they love, who loves them, (because I'm gosh darn nosey I tell you) and I'm still loving this thread! I'm such a voyuer (sp?) but, it's great to not only see you guys but see what you love to do, your families, and baby pics, it's so cool.

 

[LizzieMaine]

I've just read all the way thru this thread, and I can honestly say I had always suspected we were a very classy looking lot of folks -- and it's great to see I was right! And the kiddie pics are wonderful!

And may we never grow up -- too much!

OK, this one doesn't involve vintage hats - but a vintage Precision bass. It's the photo I happen to have handy.

This is me practicing in a very cluttered music and sewing room. The bass is a 1963 Precision with a 1972 neck (for those who care about such things) and a Ford Gold metallic re-finish done about 1970.

And yes, I generally play with my thumb on the side of the neck like that. I learned bass on an upright, and it's always been most comfortable and natural for me to brace my thumb on the neck. Gives a great, smooth tone when you play with fingers - and I'm not a pick player.

Fellow Flier !!!

Here I am, and the serious look is because flying is a very serious business.

PS. If you go to the "GOLDEN ERA" link from the Fedora Lounge...you will see in the Hats section...there is a picture of several of the members..including a happy one of me, with my Optimo Grey fedora in my yard, two years ago, in the rain..which is what I am now wishing for..it has been over 105 degrees for over a week.....Monday was 112!!

Hey fellow flier !fftopic:

I still can't quite believe that I have just embarked upon a course of flying instruction to gain my JAA PPL at the ripe old age of 52, but I have and I'm loving every minute of it. Its taking every spare penny I have (and then some !! ) but its something I have ALWAYS wanted to do and I figured "well why not ?" I'm learning in a Robin 200. Heres some pics of Golf Victor India ( my favourite ride) - my airfield (Wellesbourne Mountford - interesting WW2 history) and to stay within the thread topic a mugshot !

Cheers !

Colin

The shiny-headed mug presented to the left is my very own. It's a struggle being this pretty, but I manage...

 

[Mojave Jack]

A very young Mojave Jack. ca. 1986, with a slightly surly "I'm a tough young Marine" look and all. If you look closely, you'll notice a black fedora with a white band on the shelf! Very cheesy 80s fedora, but a fedora nonetheless!

A slightly more recent photo, recording prehistoric rock art at Sunshine Peak.

 

[Pilgrim]

Silhouette53, you look great in that jacket. And from the more "mature" age of 56, may I congratulate you on having much les front porch than I have.

Keep up those flying lessons. I envy you. I'm going nuts just trying to keep up with household chores (two window panes to replace, painting, etc.) and keep cars running.

 

[mysterygal]

wow, Quigley! an actual photo of you taken without being all morphed out! :eusa_clap
Vintage Jess, you look absolutely beautiful!....I love childhood pictures, all of you look great

I am SOOOOOO glad I was not the only person to notice this! lol

We have a word for shorts of that type, but I'm afraid I cannot post it here.
