When I was young and tough

[studemax]

This has to be around 1973. I am on the right, with my brothers and Dad. Dad was fixing to head to work (2nd shift) at Learjet on his Triumph 350 chopper painted like Captain America. It had straight pipes and was hella loud. I was a junior in high school, probably 5'10" and about 180. Afraid of nothing but the old man. Oh to be that skinny again!

I wasn't even born yet, you'd have to wait another year to be graced with my presence. Here's me Summer of 92 at my best friends graduation. I'm the one in the black Van Halen shirt. Not everyone in that pic faired as well as I did, so there's always a twinge when looking at this picture. Man did we have some fun and raised a lot of hell though. I'd tell some stories, but I was not sober enough for long enough to remember much at that point in my life.

I once was young but was never tough. I've been pretty laid back throughout my life, taking the easy way. Don't think I regret that.

Tedly, too bad about the alcohol. I was always a straight edge kinda guy. I saw what booze and dope could do and wanted to stay far away. I didn't even drink coffee until about 30 years old.

Y'all got me looking back at pictures but I was always behind the camera except in this one, we were out on a weekend ride/varmint hunt. I'm in the back of Willard the Jeep. Like you Tedly we generally always had a cooler with us.

I'll join the fun .. here I am (left) with my high school buddy, who was a County Lifeguard on Daytona Beach.

I can't find the one I want (can't get Photobucket to unleash my images) so here is one I had already salvaged from their disaster.

This was in 2001 with Gary Patterson giving me a ride in an Aurora powered Shelby Series 1. Thanks again Gary!

I tore the transmission up in my hippie van twice trying to make it "race."

Looks like your dad taught you well - learning to push a bowtie at an early age.

Me on the left with one of my hockey teammates at our after graduation party 1972 - the gas station I worked at closed my senior year and Co-op got me a job at a tux rental place - hence the free tux for prom and second pic working the summer before senior year
