You know how you form a mental image of the other forum members after reading their posts day after day? Sometimes you do catch a glimpse of others and you think: "Wow, he/she doesn't look anything like I pictured!"
Is it better that we not know what the others look like? Part of the beauty of the Internet is that everyone is equal, no judging people on looks or age, only on what comes out of their brain (in most cases). Would having a mug shot database violate that basic principal of anonymity that makes many want to participate?
Personally I don't care, since I am extremely good looking. Yes, my wife tells me so, so I know it is true. Picture below.
Seriously, I'm not gonna be first, but I'll be second or third if someone else is brave enough, or foolish enough.
Have just built a wood fired oven for pizza (in two minutes), bagettes, bread, etc.....Here is a triple berry pie, my first try at baking a pie in there....See the chunks of butter :yumyum:
Had purchased the 'cottage' style hive tops to put the hives close to the house and look cute. She said no, so, I built an apiary on the side of the hill behind the house. Lots of space to grow hives there. The bees totally ignored those flowers and the half acre of wildflorwers behind those trees....go figure.
This river is behind the house too, should provide water and lots of forage along the banks.
Ok, I did a quick "thumb through" of the pics on my computer & here's one I found of me tying my nephew in a knot last year (and he still comes back for more, lol):
That's a wild sheep your not allowed to keep it as a pet.
The hand behind the head is pinching its ear, it temporarily paralyizes them so you can get a good photo after you catch them!
In Oregon this is a once in a lifetime tag. Meaning you can only draw this tag one time ever. The odds of drawing this one was 1 in 188 the year I got it.
It is proudly displayed in the front waiting room of my office.
I wish I knew how it tasted, shortly after it got back from the butcher I had a chest freezer quit on me when I was gone. I got home to a freezer full of bighorn, 4H lamb and about 100lb of beef soup.
These are a couple years old but show me enjoying some of my other hobbies. (They are the most recent ones I have available from this pc.)

Here's me and my lovely bride Jill with our first bee package several years ago. The second picture is Jill telling me to get out and stay out of the kitchen after my first harvest.

LOL, how'd you guess that one Jim (are they that distinctive)? I'm not sure if it's the best choice but I haven't wrecked it yet, I only say that cuz a cheap hat might be a wiser choice. The jury's out, she loves insects and stuff right now and liked to watch the bees.... The four legged guy likes to stick his nose right in the entrance too, luckily the bees never minded.
