And here's where I am now...

Well hell, the last six years have been harder on me than on you. I like the hat btw.

Since I retired and moved to the ranch, I've dropped my weight from 235 down to 191 and went on a big physical fitness kick so I'm actually considering publishing a bikini shot LOL

Couple of others

Here we go

MISTACHICKEN BASTING COMFORTABLY AFTER OUR LAST CLOSE-COMBAT BATTLE;

Here's an old shot of our paint ball team back in the late 80s (cripes can't believe it was almost 30 years ago). Six of the other guys in the shot are from my old wargaming crowd that I lost touch with about 10+ years ago, so if anyone recognizes themselves in the picture send me a PM and we can get in touch and catch up. I'm the tall guy on the far left. These days I wear a goatee along with the mustache and I'm old, fat and starting to grey.

Me out back with some friends shooting last fall. My friends are committed commies, so I considered it a recruitment drive.

Great pic. If they're commies they indeed need to be committed. Had you ever met a wannabe commie that didn't think themselves to be part of the Nomenklatura whether openly or in thought? I see them all over the net blasting capitalism never man enough to ever admit that without it they'd still be complaining about said capitalism with a pen and paper. Not very innovative, outside of military hardware, that stifling communism. You'd think they'd also have a real world example of a working communist state, but a quick look around the globe and through history tells otherwise.

Have you considered smacking some sense into them?

Communism/socialism is funny. It's ok to say that no one should own property, so long as it is everyone else that has to make the big sacrifice. Yeah, I've smashed my head against that wall with my friends for a very long time. I was always the black sheep amongst my Chomsky reading, new age freak pals. It's a difference that I love to have with them. And by this many years later, my argument points have become razor sharp blades.

I remember a story from Michael Badnarik, the former Libertarian Presidential candidate. He was debating with a socialist lady one time at the Texas Capital. She told him that no one should have property because it creates a top down poverty system where the poor have no opportunities and the rich only squander what they have. It was a cold day, and the lady was wearing a really nice thick coat. Michael Badnarik told her that he hadn't prepared for such cold weather and demanded that she let him wear her coat. She pulled the coat closer to her chest and told him no, he needed to go buy his own. Badnarik laughed and asked her why she thought that no one should own property and that we should all share, but at the moment when someone else needed what she had, that she had refused to make the sacrifice. She had no answer and walked away angry and probably rethinking her ideology.

Me 4 years ago at the range.



Ok my face isn't there but it's still one of my fave pics. I'm on the left fwiw and my hair isn't nearly that long anymore.

Did you notice my pic? I'm the last guy to critique anyone's hairdo. Btw, on my phone now and hard to make out, is that an Enfield MkI?
