The ravages of time...me 1975-2009 [dial-up beware]

Post by Frank Hipper »

I don't have a scanner, so most of these are just photos of photos, with interesting effect sometimes.



Image
1975 or so, glad Pat Kelly isn't around. :P

Image
1984, while loading out the HS band for our trip to Hawaii.

Image
1986, on break at the long-lost Marina 3 Cinemas of Redondo Beach, California.

Image
The theater again, 1986.

Image
1989, at the Falcon's Roost Bar in Mesa, AZ.

Image
Holy Cross Cemetery in Los Angeles, 1990.

Image
That thing made a good scooter, too.

Image
Holy Cross again...

Image
Getting my first tattoo, January of 1992...I was monstrously hungover.

Image
Winter of '92-93-Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; the town that the movie Footloose was based on.
That's the scene of a fatal mattress fire, can we say "whistling past the graveyard"?

Image
Working at Aircraft Engineering Corp, LA-1993. Note who's working and who's leaning on the job running their mouth...

Image
Aircraft Engineering, again. We were told that was for the F/A 18, but I can find nothing that corresponds to that tool on the plane...there are no flat areas in the nose!

Image
In the grinding booth; cleaning the boogers off of the high temperature fiberglass laminate I and my lazy co worker are seen making above.

Image
Aircraft Engineering again. This was a master gauge for the top of a fuel cell on the Atlas F, and that tool was MY baby, despite my "more experienced" co-workers.

Image
Issuing direction, again. Those morons would have laminated the fiberglass on that thing without alternating the warp and weft of the cloth, resulting in a uselessly warped piece of scrap...all fiberglass laminates warp, but you can do a little to alleviate it.

Image
Greatly intoxicated with my best friend at the Rock Island club, Wichita, KS in the summer of 1994; he died in his sleep at age 35 in November of 2000.

Image
Maple Grove Cemetery-Wichita, KS, 1994.

Image
Yes, I can rock out with my cock out-Rock Island 1995.

Image
The band was called Deap Floyd; "Babies in Gravy" was our most awesomest song. :lol:

Image
I'm not in this one, but the fallen backdrop is my artwork...summer of 1995, again.
This is just about the only evidence left that I ever did anything artistic in my life, and most of that was sculpture, not painting.

Image
Can you feel it? The excitement of food service? Autumn of 1999.

Image
Halloween, 2001.

Image
After doing some lawn work, October 2007.

Image
Last night (August 21st, 2009)

The 2007 has a kind of Rob Halford vibe (what with the tattoos and the rocking and whatnot).

Damn dude, you're getting old!

This is one time I have to disagree with Stark*, though. After seeing pictures of you, I didn't lose any respect for you at all, and can still take you seriously (maybe even more seriously?). But the pictures weren't in the Member Picture's Thread, so perhaps Stark's little rule holds true...



*Stark said something once about how he can't take anyone seriously after they post a picture in Member's Picture Thread.
