10 Years...

I rarely post pics of me. But I was going through some pics and found that even though I've changed computers like 5 times in the last 10 years I have a nice retrospective on how I've changed in the past ten years. Thought I'd share a few...

1998


2001


2004


2005

 

2006

damn hippy...

 

Wow. That's a lot of changes in 10 years. Do you sometimes wonder just who that is in your mirror?

 

Some days, yes.

 

this aint to be rude in any way but what n hell aged ya so much in those 6 years tween 98 n 04.... or was it just the age where we all seem to take on the older more mature look? the bright n cheery look just seemed to give way to the older grumpified look

lol no i aint posting a time line to pick me apart...

 

Hanging out with this guy just HAS to be fun.

 

Dilli, it was something you can understand. I opened my own home improvements business on 99 and it failed in 02 and left me with two teens and no visible means of support. The scowl, the crows feet and gray in my beard appeared overnight.

I'm better now and yes, Hogg. A case of Yuengling, a 20kt wind and my lil sailboat and I'm a blast.

 

Looks like a tiny glimpse of your sailboat back there in one pic.

I think this is your best shot.
A little Sean Connery, a little wry smile, a little by the sea. Lookin good.

 

Good call shaggie! Here's what my old boat looked like moored off the same beach last summer:


My buddy John and I have the same make and model. They're both going up for sale soon.

Thanks Shale, I've been told I look like Connery in The Rock in that pic before. I don't think so but thanks for the compliment!

 

Nice boat.

Sailing is a really neat thing. I suggest everyone give it a try.

ahhhh yessss i understand completely,, i am sure if i was to find my collection of pics thru the years i would find similar comparisons of the changes in looks due to lifes crazy circumstances

 

zoom...zoom... zoom... how those years just zoom on by....

wanna just give me your sailboat? come on, I know you wanna....

 

I think 2001 was your best year.

Short hair relaxed looking happy.

 

Thanks everyone.

That's the sexual nature of sailing. You're not married to the boat, you're not married to the water. You're married to the wind. But she lets you have many lovers...

The wind doesn't care what water you're sailing on, and it doesn't get jealous when you get another boat. She gets upset when you get complacent and overconfident and she can be very unforgiving. So every once in a while just to keep things exciting you go get yourself another $50 fixer-upper and fix her up.

So I picked up my new lover yesterday. Got a lot of work ahead of me.

 

you are getting wiser and wiser )
