Routine Periodical WFer Pic Thread

If you're there again and do fall make sure you moan "as....you...wish..." on the way down. I'm just getting a Princess Bride vibe from those green hills.

Here's one of my most recent photos:

Some more. First one is after I blew out my knee last October. My brother, his wife, and I were at the Natural History Museum's butterfly exhibit.

Second one is me about to get on the plane that will take us on our aerial tour of the Grand Canyon.

Awesome!
I want to do an aerial tour when I get around to visiting the Grand Canyon - is it something you have to schedule a while in advance?

The 7 year old playing with the camera. The second one you can see the blonde highlights I recently got.

Here's a new-ish one.

[?=I warned you!][/?]

Indeed.

Now that I've got the eyes, I can composite with the one of him in sunglasses, feed it into the facial recognition mojo box and discern Elwood's secret identity.

No, you cannot.

It has long been established that wearing glasses disguises a person so much that no one can possibly identify them when they aren't wearing the glasses.

At least, that's the way it is with people from Krypton...

We did ours from the Hulapai indian reservation - the place where they have that Skywalk thing (which is really cool, btw). Same-day scheduling, at least if you get there in the morning. There are a couple planes and helicopters as well. The choppers can actually go down into the canyon. The planes have to stay above the rim.

Going from somewhere else, just check the websites. There are several operators who do the flying tours.

Cool. Any other neat things to do?

needs a haircut

I've gotten old. I now have more gray hair than black. My mom and wife both say that with every passing day I look and act more and more like my dad.

Really light blue.

For the first time in almost 20 years, I decided to grow a goat'. It was almost thick enough to be viable when I shaved it off last night (this even more difficult if you're blonde, because it is harder to see the hair). Now I've decided I liked it. Not sure if I'm going to grow it back.

God, yes.

In no particular order:

I'll play! This is the most recent one I have.

I may or may not be wearing pants.

Well, the whole Grand Canyon thing . . .

Other side of the state has Meteor Crater, which I wanted to get to but we had to drop due to time constraints.

Sedona, which is some of the most beautiful desert landscape you'll ever see. But it's overrun with hippies, so beware.

Arizona's a big state. There's stuff to do.

Most of these are very old.
The shot in the Chinook cockpit is from last year. The one with the Luger and the arty one with the Enterprise toy are maybe a couple years old.

Mo, thru the years. That last one is about 1976, by the hair.

I don't do this very often. Here's a few:

Well, if we want to go the "old pictures" route, here are a few of me from long ago. The "hippy" one I have already posted, but there are always those who don't know about my secret past...

Oddly enough, the one in the beige corduroy suit is only from a very few years later. Amazing what a haircut and a suit will do for you.

The drawing is a self-portrait I did for my fiancée while we were engaged. That's about 30 years ago. The one in the sweater is from shortly after that, when we were already married.

Just a few, including my attempt at beardy weirdy last year (and a little too much red wine).

Fairly recent "model"-style picture of me...

Well, god damn, we've got some seriously pretty people here. Skin ain't one of 'em -- but we got 'em!

These were taken with the Hipstamatic app. Skin's new favorite app, btw.

A couple MORE months ago......


About 4 years ago....

Ha! Bite it! Skin revels in his post-35 heavyweight-ness! Having spent 34 years as a scrawny sumbitch, Skin delights in now having some weight to throw around!
