Just a few old pics from my youth

I finally got hold of a scanner that will convert my old 35mm slides. Just for your perusal and amusement..

The business end

And just for grins..

Thank You

Great pics, Thank You.

Never quite realized looking at the business end of a Cobra, how slim the frontal profile is.

Hey Bob -

My mom had one of those sixties hairdos' up thru the mid 80's.

When pops took her out on a Saturday night, she'd wear a smokin hot cocktail dress, (black, open back), perils, long gloves, hand purse. My old man in a tux, cuff links, etc. I'd ask, "where ya goin?" he'd answer, "Just dinner, a woman needs to feel pretty and take the room."

I miss seeing them at that age, total class.

I understand your wife has remained pretty, you on the other hand friend have just gotten old.
