Love to see fellow MM'ers getting machines going !!!

Hey,

How many timies do these two guys get posted in the Mugs section? Is there a reward if they are turned in and where do I turn them in?

This thread badly needs some new blood!

(and scanning through it on my lunch break brings back some good memories and wondering what has happened to some of the folk. . . . . )

I agree. How about some of the new people that have numbers or newer builders post a photo so we know what you look like.

Still here! Your correct Gerald. A lot of machines out there since this was updated. Come on in, the water is fine.

:)

I'm here, sir :D

I'll Bite
 

Number 66. I'll bite:)

My Picture
 

So that's me and the new addition to the family a couple months ago. The second picture is a couple hours ago :)..

What a cute baby! Congratulations, thay are a gift from heaven.

Wow! Snow in NJ in October.

Joe: Thank you!..

And yes, it's very unusual to get snow in October here. Since I last took that picture a couple hrs ago we have another 5" on the ground. Based on what they are saying on TV there has only been 3 snow storms in NJ in October since 1926, the biggest one being 2.1", well we blew past that with this one. We have about 10" as of right now and counting....

Here in New York it is also snowing. Not as heavy but enough to make my last day in the USA a bit difficult.

Kobus; Your last day may be extended by another day :). Maybe a little hard leaving the airport. Was this the first time you have seen snow?

Hope not. Have to work next week. I have seen snow in Europe when I lived there for 5 years.

I have been on this forum so long and just discovered this thread today. I looked at all the faces and really enjoyed seeing what you all look like.

Well here goes for me too.

Marius: Glad you found us.

While your fish is nice, the baby is cuter (and you can't throw them back)!:D

Joe

@Joe: Hahaha. Very true!.:). I am sure my wife feels he was a fish sometimes, specially when he doesn't want to sleep the whole night.

The snow is finally over for a grand total of 16.5", the last record in NJ for an October snowstorm was 2.1". I guess we blew past that!.

Eish.. thats a lot of snow, are you sure it is not dust from cutting white corian?
Hi Marius, nice catch, that look like Witbank Dam

Joe, I agree my fish does not compare to such a cute baby and I surely hope they don't through him back. Just hold out there it gets better as they grow up. Kids become more fun once they start talking.

@Kaartman, no it was on a private water near Carolina. I was invited by one of the owners. The fishing was absolutely great.

I'm not a chimney sweep, this is only a pic when we were making base table :)

We need some more pictures in this thread!

Remember, you can only post a comment here if you have already showed your face - otherwise, shut up! :)

Gerald,

I think you should have made it a requirement of getting a serial number. Post a mug you get a number.

And remember its only the machine that needs to be blue, not your face :D

Okay, enough of that!!!!!! :p

Building MechMates! #5 in background
 

http://www.mechmate.com/forums/attac...1&d=1216360002

Back in the day helping Nil's with #12....must have been early in the day, My shirt is still white!

I would like to see more new people post a picture. It is not a requirement but it is nice to see the faces of the people that you talk to.

Sean did help me with my build. I am glad he was able to help. That seems so long ago with lots of bits used up, with lots of material getting cut and before the rattler can started to leak in the truck. But that is another story.

So share some pictures of you or your animals or both.

OK, I'll take the wave :)

Paulo,

I have been to Vlodrop. You have a very nice country. But I see that you live in the way Southern part of Netherlands. You are closer to FL.

Yes Nils, I live in Curaçao, Caribbean.
I do not sail, yet. I have a dream, is to build an Herreshoff for myself...

And I will follow the wave. I am the one who is to be blamed for all bad welds. Other guy is Vlad, good friend of mine. MM is not finished yet. Hope I will this summer.

And here I am also, this is my friend the Guitar maker on the left and me with ear protection and glasses on the right (they all call me an alien :D )

just uploading a mug shot
 

Just sold the kayak, ran out of room with the addition of the Mechmate

Found a closer photo, I did have hair sometime ago....like 30 or 40 years,
How time flys, just clocked 54 years, two weeks ago.

Andrew,

Nice kayak. Did you build it?

Thanks for posting!

Yes Nils, I did make the kayak from plans purchased from redfish kayaks
Is the "Return" model.
Nice and fast and easy to control in the sea
But had to sell it to make room in the garage for the mechmate.
Regards
Andrew
