Thanks man! I like that top picture. It's for anyone who ever thinks I'm afraid to get my hands dirty! They're absolutely correct! This is why I wear gloves!
One of me, one of me and my son. Wife doesn't like pictures taken.

Coupla handsome dudes there. Funny, though, @Amos_Umwhat, I had you pictured as a younger man - more the age of your son.
Just goes to show, eh?
Thanks for the photos, though. It puts my mind more in perspective.... does that make sense??
Well, @jlmarta, I write young. When I joined the forum, I tried to make my avatar "Old Farht", but they said some guy in California had dibs. (Just kidding)
You can just see the top of his prosthesis, where he left his right hand in Afghanistan. I hadn't realized it until I started looking for pictures, but he almost always hides the hook when his pic's taken. He looks very much like I did at his age.

I'm sure you've seen the old gag line that says "Sicks munst ago I cudn't even spel 'Enginear' and today I are one" so, with that in mind, it's okay to call me an oldfart (all one word) 'cuz I are one.
Your son looks to be a man of strong will. I'm sorry he lost his hand but happy that the rest of him made it home, as I'm sure you are. Please give him my thanks for his service.

I guess since I decided to start this thread going on 8 years ago and then proceeded to disappear for several years, a little update is in order.
Here's some more recent images of me.
and you clean up nice......
OK then.
