Posted by Red Horse on Friday, April 4, 2008 6:01 AM

Greetings my Fellow MRR fans, I've been emailing back and forth with some of you folks here and was wondering what you guys and gals look like?

I don't know if this post is a no no or not but I'd like to have a thread of people pics here.

I'll go first...

This was taken at a fund raising concert for the Freedom NH Fire Dept last year.

I was looking for an "Off topic" thread here to post this in but couldn't locate one so I posted in "General".

I hope this doesn't make the owners of this site mad?

Peace!

Please visit my Photobucket pics page. http://photobucket.com/Jesse_Red_Horse_Layout I am the King of my Layout, I can build or destroy the entire city on a whim or I can create a whole new city from scratch , it is good too be the King.

Here I am on the old WM high bridge at Ohiopyle, PA.

This instantly became my favorite place on the planet.

It inspired this scene, highly compressed though it may be...  (Thanks Mr. Beasely for the idea of including a layout picture with the mug shot...)

Of course my avatar makes my appearance pretty obvious.  But for a closer look with even more imperfections, here I am in my business suit:

Dave,

   Thanks for defending our country! I serve and protect those who protect us as an E-6B logistics engineer. Do you do anything with the E-3?

Howdy Red Horse!

I do remember that other thread from awhile ago.

Here I am sitting on a fallen tree that typically would be submerged under water; however, when this photo was taken in October 2007 Falls Lake was at about 60% or 14' below normal water level stages. This was taken during a beautiful Sunday afternoon day hike around the lake.

{edit} - I've lost 16 lbs. since that photo was taken and 12.5 since the current weight loss regimen!

Nope...  As a weather officer, most of the direct support I've given has been to Army ground and aviation combat units, including 2ACR in Baghdad back in'03.

Brad,

Thanks for you service, too!  I see an Iraqi Campaign Medal and a Purple Heart on your rack there...  and what looks like a Combat Infantryman's Badge.  Thank you for the sacrifice.  Glad you made it back in one piece!!!

Well, if that didn't break my camera, it probably wont destroy the forum!!  Taken by my grandson on a trip to the local zoo/park last year.  My avatar is also me - my grandson put me in jail on another daytrip.

I might add that it would also be helpful if our profiles weere updated/filled in.  When responding to a post, it would be helpful to know the age, profession, and location of a poster, so the answer could be more appropriate - i.e. don't suggest a $1000 brass loco to a teen!  (their folks will have a fit!!)

It has been two years or more since the last such thread, so why not.

Here are the two of us in Bucerias, Mexico, in February.  It was a very welcome respite from the rains and wind on Vancouver Island that time of year.
