Need something like my boot dryer for that suit... Some way to heat/ventilate it. My work boots are over a year old, and I can smell nothing but leather after 10+ hours six days a week.

Haven't come off yet in road racing and have ridden at Mallala, Eastern Creek and Phillip Island, but they say not falling off is just God's way of telling you that you're not going fast enough. Must. Try. Harder.exnailpounder wrote:I could never get the shit stains out of my leathers but I remember it being a whole lot of fun.

Mind you, have crashed my brains out many times in my former dirt racing days.
That suit has been retired now. I was doing some test riding/reports for a bike business last year and they were nice enough to give me a fresh new suit and helmet.

I haven't aged much.
Still look the same.
I'll post up my graduation pics, it'll be 10 days till they get made.

Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

Made in your homemade smoker no doubt! I bet every welder I know has at least 1 smoker that he made himself.Poland308 wrote:image.jpegOut on the back deck smoked ham steaks on the grill.

But mine was made of wood. I would prefer to show my grandfather's made of marble. His is maybe 8 x 10 outside. 90 years ago it was used commercially. He ran a meat market, cut ice on Beauregard's pond, sold meat in a basement market under the town's only hotel, and peddled late in the day as he had no cooler.exnailpounder wrote:Made in your homemade smoker no doubt!

The rich people who bought the property in 1942 soon after Pearl Harbor was attacked, locked it. The lock is rusted solid now. I doubt that any living person has seen the inside. Four generations of them have never been curious enough to look. I am.

I've made a couple of smokers but I got offered too much money to keep either one. Jut a store bought grill for now. But when this one dies I think it's time to make another.
I have more questions than answers

I'm not ashamed of what I look like after a day of work.
I'm also not ashamed of what I look like on the weekend with my tenth beer in my hand.
We are, if nothing else, real people. We're not pretending to be anything else. That has value.

( Sorry, I couldn't resist ! )
Lol I'm long past worrying what others think of how I look.
Should have seen the pics from when I had my 70 s porn stash. ! Think my wife burned them all except one of my id badges for one of the places I do work.

Haven't taken down my mirrors, I just don't look in them cause I'm ugly like a hat full of bums. My old drill Sargeant used to tell me if his dog was ugly like me he'd chop his tail off, shave his ass and make im walk backwards.

Gee, I've spent a lifetime feeling uncomfortable about my appearance. I got my grandmother's double chin, I hide with a beard, my father's bags under the eyes he had at 19 years of age, (though everyone remarked what a handsome man he was). I got my uncle's bald head, though ten years later in life than my son did. One ear lower than the other, no one would notice if they weren't so big.
These days I qualify as a geezer. The fact that I am alive at advanced age gives me a level of forgiveness that I ain't very attractive. I'm done apologizing for my appearance. I am beautiful! Well, sort of.

With my friensld's daughter. I had just met her two days before this pic and her first words to me were, "Hey, what's up dude?".
It was love at first sight.

I'm glad we accidentally pulled this post out of the boneyard. I hope many of our more recent members will take it in the intended spirit and post pictures.

Anders, are you on holiday here in Aus? If you are heading through Queensland, Coleman is a resident up there somewhere
