Just For Fun: How Did You Pick Your Avatar?

[TIME2GO]

But what about time to go?

DS is the youngest of 3. His closest sibling is 13 years older. I think it was somewhat of a reminder that he's finding his own way and won't be downstairs doing homework much longer.

OldRetSWO stole my thunder but he's on-point.

My class crest...I was Co-President of the Ring Committee...and was honored to have a major impact in it's design.

Each item has meaning...

And the user ID?

My avatar is just a daydream of buying a $100k 4x4 to take me anywhere. It will remain a daydream because my wife's daydream is a bit different. UserID is easily found with a google search, my father's boat in WWII.

And the user ID?

Kannst Sie Deutsch?

Flieger - German for Pilot (I think in school I was told it means aviator but my German friends said "pilot.")
83 - Should be obvious

Yeah, it's a smarty pilot thing.

User name was just hoe I was feelin g about my sone when I joined and his HS graduation year. I just changed to my 3rd avatar. First was his college mascot:

Then changed it to DS' first ship when he graduated and commissioned:

Now changed it to something that reflects me:

I had six PCS in my four years AD from 1968 through 1972 from basic training and through almost full circle back to Instructor at my original Tech School. I had some great assignments, and it was hard to pick a squadron patch for an Avatar although I have rotated a few in and out. Det 5 621st was the best. We were working 24/7 directing, guiding and supporting aircraft and aircrews in combat and safely RTB. I just decided to give up and use the family crest. Everyone has a King (or Queen) somewhere in the past.

Lol, as soon as I read the words, the guitar solo started playing in my head.

I wondered if anyone noticed!

Mine is an actual photo of me. In my better days.

Wife and I spent a week in Scotland where all of a sudden she discovered tea even though I've gifted her with tea related items plus the tea itself. Soon as we got home she ordered a tea pot so she could pour hot water instead of microwaving it.

Speeds up pasta making too. Get pot going on stove half full, kettle going on full then add two together. Saves me 2-3 mins every time! (Yes...I Am a nerdy engineer)

Why not REALLY speed things up, and toss the pasta in the tea kettle?

I might be on to something
