Here you are a little "brighter" and "sharper", at least the best I could do without having the original photo.

How do you keep that beard out of your equipment? I'd imagine you've picked sawdust out of there more than once!!!

Welcome!!!

thanks for the help jim, but i will take the original and sharpen it up and reapply it. i have the capability to do so, photoshop[use it daily] but not here at home. thanks for assistance and i noticed it was blurry and i havnt had any thing to cloud my vision either and as for the rest of the mug shots john i think they are much better lookin. like they say you can take a country boy to the city but he still aint no rose. and the bark is still there as well, taint nuff sand paper to smooth out this many ruff spots :)

Awesome set of whiskers, Larry.

I take it, though, that you are not a turner.

Yep, that's some pretty good growth, Larry. I let mine grow about half that long a couple of years ago, but my wife hated it.

I wish I could find this one old picture of my one brother. He had his a little longer and fuller than that 30+ years ago. He made Grizzly Adams look baldfaced with that mop on his chin.:eek: ;)

i took and shaved mine off once and the kids didnt recognize me. i went to a card party and was asked who i was. had been around there for a couple years and the family didnt recognioze me till i spoke :) so its been off only when burned off from the old foundry days about every 6 months. now its here to stay
