You are blessed my friend! Be sure to deserve it. These years fly....

My son is 22! How did it happen? Just yesterday he was her size.

Fortunately? for me he no longer needs me, but humors me, so I guess my wife did a good job raising him. We ALWAYS reminded ourselves that we were not raising a child, but a future adult. Lol, we did so well at it that he is twice as mature as me!
 
OK, you win. Here I am, in my office. I'm a professional engineer in a rather specialised field. Now semi-retired, meaning that I only take on challenging projects that interest me. Until the start of this year, I had to do a lot of traveling because of my work. mainly throughout Asia, the Pacific and the middle east.
A rather fine looking young man indeed.👍
 
Not a viewable photo of me on the web that is newer than 50 years ago.....

Since 2001 I have been a web hosting provider and run an after the sale private support business for an html authoring software company. I work from a computer screen and lately from a phone, anywhere on the planet that has cell coverage.

I am a dedicated omnivore. My diet consists of anything that I can hook, shoot, dig up, or unwrap. My food moto is "get as close to the dirt as I can". This means very little that comes in cans, boxes, or glass (alcohol excluded). I retired when I was 35 years old.

I have done so much in my short 70 years on this spinning ball that it would fill an entire encyclopedia.

This is the newest photo of me from a craigslist add last week

That leg looks like a runway for a lot of recent straight razor sharpness tests!
 
Well, here's a rare picture (from today) of me cleaned up and smiling. Occasionally people pay me real money to make music. Not as much the last couple years. The rest of the time I manage office sevices for a law firm. I have a blended family with four kids ranging from 5 to 16. I like strength training and do a little guitar picking and singing too. Still a country boy at heart and a lot more comfortable in jeans and boots than a suit.

I am married with three kids and live in NJ. Studied music (percussion) and math in college but have worked in computer security in financial services in NYC.

Here's a photo of me with my son taken last weekend in Windham, VT. I started him with a Gillette Tech and he has used my Feather Artist Club, but he is now using a Gillette cartridge razor.

A great looking young man! He reminds me of my son. Clean cut, confident..... It appears that you are blessed my friend.

My son started out with DE shaving, and is gone to electrics!

Just your average over-educated country kid, husband, father, retired vet, cowboy, Past Master who also doubles as a traditional bowhunter, a home brewer, woodworker and a CJ Jeep lover. The WM pic is older but shows I can clean up. 😅View attachment 1438227View attachment 1438229
They were laughing at my WM portrait at Lodge the last time I was there, ha! I looked all of about 15..... I was actually 27? I'm pretty sure. Youngest in the State at the time, that year. I started out as Senior Steward as soon as I was able. Never skipped a chair. Now I'm STILL one of the young guys, lol. So far I've avoided being a retread. Life Membership is coming up in 2024. Is that possible? Wow I'm old.
 
I was in my late 30s sitting in the East and did two years back to back. Sadly I have drifted away from regular attendance; the Craft became a constant grind more akin to having a full time non-paying job. I do still practice and apply the lessons to my daily life. Stay blessed 3-5-7 and travel light.

We don't have a lot of activity anymore. I try to make the regular meetings, but my last one was in April.... Hopefully I will get back on the stick in the Fall.
 
Ok Ill go . Here is a pic I just snapped. I am a father of two. My daughter is a a competitive dancer. we travel to four competitions a year. Next season we will be in West palm beach, Lakeland twice and Daytona beach. At the last Daytona competition it was also Jeep week. Jeeps everywhere. I get paid trying to figure out how much it costs to install air conditioning in big buildings. They call me a Mechanical estimator.
The other pic is with my wife out on the water. My wife loves the water. We are drifting out on the Indian river lagoon. Taking in the sun. I try to fish when I can.

You are a blessed man my friend!

If I get a haircut and shave tomorrow I will post a picture!
 
I've gotta' say, a lot of you don't look like I imagined! Mine shouldn't scare anyone too badly, since my avatar is me. I'm a Computer Network Manager for a school in Northern NY. One more year!

I enjoy riding my motorcycles and Miata, brewing and winemaking, cooking, drinking and eating, percussion and harmonica. Hanging out in my shed and this razor thing.
