This is such a great site with so many awesome people. Many who have already met, but for the ones who don't know what we are about or who we are let's post some pictures. I know that we have the Who We Are gallery http://www.ncwoodworker.net/pp/showgallery.php?cat=93 with members pictures, but many might not know to go there, or realize the fun of commenting on folks pics.
So to start this off.... this is me, and my beautiful daughter last year about this time -




And for y'alls humor a few of me doing my other favorite activity (besides beer drinkin')

Me and a few of my college buds on top of a mountain in Washington state -




The beginning of that month long backpacking trip. I can't believe how skinny I was back then ('99) -



Me and my now wife at Joyce Klimer Mem. forest in NC (~'95) -



Now that I've bared my soul and bad hair stylings. I expect y'all to do the same. Let's see you are. Pictures of you, pictures of you doing things that you love or with the ones that you love. Or just goofy pictures of you in high school.
This is gonna be fun!!!!


Dave

I like the way you done it, I think some of a persons past tells a little bit more about them
Me and of course michiko at the tanabata in 71





And one of my favorite car, its one of the first skylines, and it would walk a fairlady like they were standing still


And another of my beautiful wife (never enough of her)

Our biggest kid -- Badger guarding the house and getting love...



A little guy time with my grandson, Ridley, just before Christmas 2007 (he is two years old...)

Re: Who are you.....

Here I am with my wife Glenda and my granddaughter Meredith flying home from Disney World. Oh man, look at that neck and belly..... how disgusting.




Here is Meredith and I in a pic taken two weeks ago. The ole fat boy is 75 lbs smaller. First time I've been under 200 lbs in 30 years. Anytime I even think I might be gaining this lost weight back I will look at the first picture. I might even post it on my refrigerator and that should be all the motivation I need to eat as I should.

Dave, Carla wishes the gardens were ours. That was taken in the back garden of the Cedar Lodge B&B, Westport, Co. Mayo, Ireland, in Sept '07. It is a nice 3 BR home,

This is from Christmas 2007.


Yup, for those that don't know me, It is a kilt!

Wow George , that is awesome. I have heard talk about your weight loss, but I never realized how much it was. You look like a totally different person...good for you .

See ain't this fun

Tom that picture always cracks me up. I'm surprised that y'all didn't have twins. One in you and one in your lovely wife.
That second picture of Leslie is awesome, I can see what you saw in her....what she saw in you I am still trying to figure out
