Simon, 

Ooo, I love riddles...Give a extra minute, huh? Smile [:)]

Okay, I'll try and find a mug shot of me somewhere.  I may have to call up the state pen to see if they still have my picture on file.

OK Mr. wise-guy Tom, which one is me?  and since you are so happy to comment, what about a picture of you?

Jim,

Ah, I was wonderin' if it was a Conn.  The rose-brass bell and the lack of a rubber stop at the bottom of the slide was the give away.  I trust it has a nice sound?

Also, have you ever noticed that pretty much all trombone players only have monosyllabic names?  Jim...Dave...Tom...

Cool car.  I had a '68 very similar to yours (black w/ white stripes).  I sold it about 20 years ago and I have regretted it ever since.

Larry

Thanks!

I sold my '68 SS a couple of years ago to fund another project ('70 SS Chevelle 396).  I got it as a basket case and resto-modded it.  It was a real fun toy.  The one I regret parting ways with was a '71 Cuda I had.  That thing was a wild ride!

 Would you believe I actually too the time to look through those old posts. Nice to see the faces of quite a few posters here!

 It is off topic, but why not ?

 Here is me, my wife and our two kids at the local railroad museum in our little town over here in Norway:

Cuda Ken... That is scarey! Shock [:O]  You look just like my brother! Except he's scared of dogs (doesn't admit it).

I'm banned from posting pics of me... suffice to say that when my eyes got damaged I looked even more like Uncle Fester.

I've gone back to having a rightious beard now though.  I also have to hide behind green Raybans during daylight... is this significant?


You know that "Don't ask/Don't tell" thing? Well I fit straight into the "Don't look/Don't scream" catagory.

And my only fault is my modesty!

Posted by cudaken on Thursday, April 26, 2007 1:14 AM

 I know it is Sign - Off Topic!! [#offtopic] but ever wonder what the member that is posting looked like and a little about that person? I have made what I would call friend's at this site but still have no clue what thay look like or spoke to them on the phone. T-Stage helped me a lot when I joined "at one point I thought T-Stage was some kind of track not a member name screen name).

 Slector "Crandell" as all so been a big help and has wasted (not really) hours of answering my stupid questions.

 Mr Art Hill, has helped and insprieed (spell check need badly) on get my bench less child like.

 Simmon has all so help and we meet at K-10 Trains but did not know each other because we never seen a PIC of each other.

 Toots, Curt and I have meet and this Thursday (boy this is hard to believe) I am going to help him with his track laying?Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]Sign - Oops [#oops]

 Then Darth Santa Fe, helped me with by Dash 8. Him and I have spoke on the phone.

 Larry that does not post to much, we have meet and he pretty gave me a MRC 2400 to use after I broke my 1440.

  Anyway here is a PIC of my self and the girls.

 

 I am the one with the baseball cap.

 Hope to see some faces and meet some more members or talk on the phone with them.
