I'm a big purple skull - because I'm fabulous and don't like being confused for anyone else.
Had it from the start and will keep it.

I've never had an avatar until just a month or so ago, could never find one that I thought appropriate I guess.
My avatar is NOT me, it's my Father and Mother. In '06 trying to think of a Christmas present, for the people that already have everything they need/want, I came up with the idea of a "Gift Certificate". The certificate we made up on the computer was all fancy looking and was for transportation to/from dinner at an expensive restaurant in the Salt Lake Valley. My brother lives there so he was the one to deliver the coupon and over see the actual diner.
Mom and Dad had fallen in love with cruising, on BIG ships, and sometimes went twice a year. They really loved the fancy dress-up thing. They were both depression era kids and were way frugal, so the trips were their retirement joy. As Dad was in the upper 80s they hadn't been on a cruise for close to ten years. I figured this would give 'em a chance to dress up again.
They didn't know that "Transportation" was going to be a stretch limo! In the photo, I'm guessing as dad didn't have to drive he may of splurged that night and had two scotches rather than the usual one, and was feeling good, so he was taking advantage of the blacked out windows in the limo. Not a mean bone in that mans body. He was loved by all who met him, was a master of repairs, building, fabrication and engineering.
In 2010 Dad passed away late on Christmas Eve at 90 and 6 months of age. He and Mom, through hard work, built the American dream for the two of them. Mom's still with us and and doing pretty good for 90, still living in the house that Dad built a large portion of with his own hands.
Yeabut mountain pockets or Montana pockets? Both are/were way fine avatars in my book.<<< This avatar fits my username better than my old avatar...it also looks like me...and yes my elbows do bend like that.

Nice. Please tell us of some more particulars of this adventure, were you to be so kind.Mine is easy, that's me on a boar hunting trip in 1971. If I remember that's my Marlin 30-30 and Ruger 357 on my belt.
If I remember right, it was in the Ventana Wilderness area. We hiked in and did not get a thing. I was actually glad cause I really did not want to pack any more out. We usually hunted boar on Hunter Ligget land or up around Gonzolas , They tasted better, but any time with my best friend out hunting was a good day.Nice.
