countryboy, how could you shave a wonderful beard like that? :biggrin:

I have had my current beard (it's second generation) one year longer than I have been married. My kids have never seen me without a beard. :biggrin:

When I grow up, I want to be Santa Claus. :biggrin:

I had just about a year in that beard.

I grew it to celebrate my retirement. The problem with beards is that the time it takes to maintain it (washing and drying etc) takes time away from the other things you want to do.

People say that I looked like a good ole boy. :smile:

I used to love this show.
Dukes of Hazard theme song

Just the good ol' boys,
Never meanin' no harm,
Beats all you've never saw, been in trouble with the law since the day they was
born.

Straight'nin' the curve,
Flat'nin' the hills.
Someday the moutain might get 'em, but the law never will.

Makin' their way,
The only way they know how,
That's just a little bit more than the law will allow.

Just good ol' boys,
Wouldn't change if they could,
Fightin' the system like a true modern day Robin Hood.

For some reason, I can think of nothing other than Darth Vader wearing an 'Integral' mask. :-p

I was born in Calgary, and have always been a westerner by nature (I got Shanghaied down there in '65), but anything to be with you. Count me in, as long as it doesn't conflict with any western Canadian stuff. Can we use Captain Rollerball as our mascot?

two thumbs up for the Capt. Rollerball!

Hi Astronuc,,,
What do you think are the advantages of keeping a beard...

Doesn't it make you feel like a little bit unhandsome and what about the problems it causes...May be birds can find a place for them :smile:

Ooh, those were the days ! Until one day, this total dweeb called Paul came by and Gene was all over him.

"If this dork can make lead guitarist", I reasoned, "surely I can become a physicist !"

So I put down my pick, (said goodbye to my army) and picked up "Physics for Dummies". I will never regret my decision - page 2 has been every bit as exciting as page 1. And next up is something called 'Contents' . . .

I wasn't going to say anything when I thought that you were just a physicist, but...
Knowing now of your creative background, I must tell you how disappointed I am at your attempt to draw a horsie for your avatar. It has way too many legs, and its head is on upside down.

I have that same book! (Sounds like you're so much further along in it, though.)

Marlon, it's a combination of a lifetime of different activities. As early as 6 or 7, I did activities like running, jump-rope, cycling, chopping wood, playing football (Victorian rules - Australia), and climbing trees. I was active in sports throughout high school and college.

Starting around grade 10, I began weight training and intermediate-to-long-distance running. During university, I spent holidays and summers doing iron-work (usually 10 hr days), which required a lot of heavy labor.

Several years ago, I studied Tae Kwon Do and I hope to resume it soon (I had to interrupt my TWD studies due to work). I recently started some light weight training, but the gardening I do requires a fair amount of strength to break up the ground which is mostly clay and stone.

As for the Army - NO! No military organization would want me, and I am wholly incompatible with such organizations. A military officer once told me that he would put me 'in the brig' for insubordination on the first day. Hah! He's probably right. :biggrin:

Goldi - As for the advantages of a beard, there probably isn't any, except that it keeps my face and neck warm when the temperatures are below freezing and a good wind in blowing.

Doesn't it make you feel like a little bit unhandsome . . .
My mom thought I was trying to scare off women. :smile: Interestingly, some women were turned off, but many others found me attractive. :smile: My wife married me despite my appearance.

I am just being myself. There are those who don't like the beard or long hair. So be it. In fact, when I visited the corporate offices recently, the first words from the group manager was "You need a haircut - long-haired hippie." :biggrin: I work in a fairly conservative organization.

I'll probably grow the hair for a while, may be a long while. :biggrin:

May I assume that he had sense enough to be grinning when he said that?

Yeah, I smiled. He's a good friend. He would just prefer that I was clean shaven with short hair. But that's not for me.

My response was, "We'll see. Not for a while though." :biggrin:

Hi guys. This is from a picture I sent my daughter last year a few weeks after I received an e-mail from her telling me to "get busy building me a swing".

Thanks to Thiago I figured out how to post it here although I haven't seen him post in a while ever since I kinda' ran amuck with that last ODE he posted. Don't want people in here to not post ODEs cus they might say, "well Salty's going to get it and start asking all kind of extraneous questions that I don't care about, don't have time to figure out, and don't feel like 'a plot would be nice too' either!". Whatever.

Thank you Evo. You're too kind. I accept what I got :smile: and I hated building that swing. She doesn't know that of course. If my son wants one he's building his own. If I had another daughter, well . . . guess I could make two.

That's a damned cleverly disguised spotting 'scope for a sniper, but you need some camo on your face too. :-p
