Embarrassing pics,

[Blazin]

O.K. so if you chose to post some up you can blame Vile. he got me to thinking with his coment of
 " you should have seen me when I was 17 "
I will go first. I dug up some old pics of me, figured if I got a chuckle out of them I am sure you guys will!
1971 or 2 My first car.


1984 Nice hair cut, I was almost 14 here.


1988 I was 17 or 18 here, off to work. I think I thought I was all that, and more!


1989 Alice's senior prom.


1992 About the last time I remember being skinny!


1995 playing with Junior. Little over two years to gain a few pounds.


Fast forward 12 years to 2007. Taking Airel, & Frank to their junior prom.


Come on now don't be shy!

OK, since you started it....here ya go

Fifth Grade (love the "Mad Bomber" shirt)


My first girlfriend (forgot about her when i went to college 1980)


Got my shotgun for xmas when I was 13



Didn't take me long to use it on a turkey, still remember it was 19 3/4 lbs.


The master fisherman -1981


My cross country running days (boy was I skinny-1984)


Runnin' my first marathon, all 26.2 miles when I was 18


rebuilding my second engine in high school


Going off to college with my old mustang (1986)


Done good in college Freshman year, dad got me a 65 stang (i guess he didn't have much faith in my rebuilding the engine in old yeller)


Going to college near D.C. had its privaledges...when the Redskins won the superbowl (1988), we went to Georgetown and had a blast....college buddies of mine...we had a garage attendant take our pic...that's me on the left.



In the 21st century now...It's not embarrasing, but, it was the happiest moment of my life, when my son was born.  Of course, I am heavier, bald, and married--so it doesn't matter anymore. Me, dad, and Andrew


I can't wait 'til my son has a girlfriend, so that I may show her these pics..




Sorry if i got a little carried away, but, once started, I didn't see an end in sight.

The mad bomber looks like early Special Ed from Crank Yankers!

I still remember that shirt.  Man, time flies.  I had forgotten that day that pictures were being taken--whooops.

Yeah I had about 20 others to chose from but figured I would keep it to what I posted.
 Since you took it to the next level. No children of my own, but here are my step girls.

Blazin isn't the only one with a mop Rock star days edited for lude gesture 



Ex g/f in pic (BroadZilla is way hotter) but that's my black 74 GMC



In the guillotine at Pirates Cove



Way Cool biker dude lol



I guess that's embarrassing enough for now.

Except I still have my mop!

Your shop class kids ever seen that first pic?
Del, why did you have a tomahawk type hammer in auto shop class. looks like the one I keep next to my wood stove to chop kindling!
Second to last pic is the only one I have of my 74 Malibu. 454, the TH 350 thats now in my Blazer, 3;73 posi. Notice the push bar on the front. That car quickly earned me the nickname
" The Dukes Of Danbury ". My driving style might have had something to do with it too! Man that would rip some silly donuts.

Del, why did you have a tomahawk type hammer in auto shop class. looks like the one I keep next to my wood stove to chop kindling!

Yeah, I used that hatchet many times for kindling wood for dad's wood stove in the garage.  No, I never took any type of shop class....I guess I kind of mislabled the pic...it was when I was in high school (age) but not built IN high school.  I was always someone who would take things apart and put them back together.  Started off with radios, tv's, when i was 15, i started taking my car apart and at 16, rebuilt my first engine.    That was in my dad's garage (the one that burned a few years ago).  Why the hatchet?  I dunno, that is what dad had laying around i guess, or i was too lazy to get a hammer .  I was just tapping the pistons in with whatever I had within arms reach....the wooden end of course as not to damage the new piston.

I still have that belt buckle.
I didn't think you were using the hatchet end! Just thought it was a strange hammer to have in a shop.
I did think you meant shop class!
