Winnie; She looks like a wonderful young lady to be sure. Thanks for sharing her with us.
For our first date we sat in the kitchen and had coffee with her folks and visited, which I later learned put me in good stead with them and her.
They did wonder a bit about me though when we returned from our 2nd date with an extremely muddy pickup - we went mudding a bit.
Back then I had one of the first factory Toyota 4x4 pickups in that part of Saskatchewan - I know it sounds impossible Winnie, but there was a time when most pickups weren't 4x4's and Toyota just started making them in '79 I think it was.
The 3rd date was a gopher shoot in which she proved to be an excellent rifle shot. She hunted deer with me until our girls were born and never ceased to impress me how cool under pressure she was.
Anyway, here's my good wife with a nice mulie buck that she'd neatly dispatched with a .308 Norma Mag I put together for her one winter. She hasn't changed much since then somehow and it has to have been close to 20 years ago now.
This is a more recent shot of us on a jetboat ride out of Pemberton, BC. Luckily the girls take after her side of the family in both brains and looks.
Thanks again for sharing your significant other with us Winnie and all the best to you both in the upcoming week.
Kate and I worked together in 97. She ended up dating my best friend for 2 years. (attended my wedding) Broke it off with him. Got married.
In 2010 she got divorced, I was already divorced. We had mutual friends. Hung out together for about 10 months, finally decided to see if there was anything more between us.
Started dating 18 months ago. Will end up married eventually. (not this year anyway) so she will have been at both my weddings. lol.
First official date type thing was me making her dinner and conversation. Knowing one another 15 years and spending every Wednesday night together as just friends (and others) kinda killed the need for the "get to know you" dating scene.
I suspect that picture is hanging on the wall in the family room for all to see. If it is not sir, might I suggest doing so, because it is a great one.
Second time around, for both of us... we feel blessed beyond measure. As she said on our 3rd date, "People don't get it like this!" And she was right, I believe.
Here's Shenah. We chatted online for a while then she got a bad case of food poisoning, when she got back from hospital and told me what happened I went round to make sure she was ok and haven't left since.
Took this picture of my Wife last November, when we were in NYC for my Daughter's wedding. Staten Island Ferry at night, cold and windy. She is truly a Saint, and has put up with my BS for 20 years now.
FWIW I ain't posting pics of my bride of 11+ years. You're going to have to take my word that she's pretty. And is half my size, but works harder than any other chick I've known. I'm tempted to scan a wedding pic, but you wouldn't believe it anyways.

You don't got to prove anything to us. Your better didn't have a chance.......after seeing "the beard".

I have a hard time believing anybody has lived with him for 11 years.
OK I will play this game just so you all can have a good laugh.
Saw her at a little country church just after my divorce was final. I did my homework and liked what I saw and what I learned about her. Finally met her in October, asked her to marry me in November but we had to wait until June to get married. She was 26 and I was thirty. These were taken in 1979, that would make it 33 years ago.
This was taken last week.
This is the oldest little girl in the second photo.
Here's Shenah. We chatted online for a while then she got a bad case of food poisoning, when she got back from hospital and told me what happened I went round to make sure she was ok and haven't left since.
Beautiful and I'll bet she's got that great Kiwi accent. Of course, it's wasted on you since you don't view it as an accent.

I looked long and hard at that picture. I do believe that is a woman of great depth and character. Marrty did well.
My beautiful Hilda's graduation picture. May 1958. Picture is a little worn as I have kept it in my wallet ever since then. We were married in June, 1958 and had fifty years and four months of wonderful marriage.
Somewhere in the Caribbean in 2007 with grandson Zach, my best buddy.

Absolutely. You done well, Maarty. Some fine women being displayed on this thread. I would post my wedding photo but the scarlet tie-dyed shirt might blind some of you.
Here's the love of my life. right now she is ready to give us our first daughter in a month. everyday I'm with her is a blessing and I thank the lord for it. we've been together almost 3 years and look forward to many many more.
Since i'm divorced from my first, this my present wife, we have been together 16 years and just celebrated our Eleven Anniversary. We are getting ready to leave for Cancun on the 15 for ten days. We met on the internet 16 years ago and have been together ever since.
To those of you that have seen my big ugly mug, were you to see my Wife, you would immediately look around for her seeing eye dog and walking stick swearing she was blind.
We met in the Chicago O'Hare airport 7 years ago, both going to Green Bay for business, worked for the same company at the time. I was in my rattiest boots, worn out Wranglers, and the most hideous yellow and purple striped pearl snap you could buy at the local farm store, she was from Texas, so I guess it peaked her curiousity. Plane to GB got cancelled, so 6 of us ended up carpooling from Chicago to GB. I was scared [bleep] because my luggage with my suit and dress shoes was MIA. It later turned up in time for me to dress appropriately and we've been married for 3 years come November.
Tokyo, Japan circa 1981. My yearbook. She at age 14 was my GF; I was 12. She dumped me after two weeks, declaring me 'too wild'. Can you imagine? After taking her to see AC/DC's Back in Black tour at the Budokan as a first date? Sheeit.
Why I asked the little hussy to write in my book after we'd 'busted up' I have no idea, but both my brother and I were expelled the next year. Lost track of all my former schoolmates, and a couple I not only never forgot, but really only one I actually searched for. We were married some 25 years after this was written to me. Yeah, well, he who laughs last is all I gotta' say 'bout that.
My response we found written in HER yearbook? "Yeah, well, have fun this summer. I imagine it'll be on the back of some Bozo's* bike"
*Bozosuku are Japanese mob junior wannabe' members who blaze around the city on super-hot liter motorcycles, sporting leather, flags and whatnot. The young females on the backs of these bikes (teenaged-mid-20s in age) are dressed like biker strippers in black leather. In other words, in spite I was saying she was a little tart, and would end up being nothing more than a trophy floozy on the back of some ne'er-do-well biker's 1000 rocket...That was in 81. In a dimly-lit hookah bar in Manhattan's Lower East Side, more than 22 years later, I asked her to marry me.
Hey wait! Hmm. Y'know, my prediction was astonishingly accurate, and spooky, now that I think of it...
If we ever meet, you need to promise to leave the coat behind. I'll be damned if I'm going to run around with the same coat where folks are running around with rifles and shyt...

Thank you. Scott, she may have depth and character but she certainly isn't a good judge of character. After all she chose me lol
Found a clip on the Bozos types I referred to, though that lot looks a lot less menacing than the M/C gangs back then. Black Emperor I remember was one of the larger ones. I lived about two miles from where the footage is taken (Shibuya) for several years back in the 80s when I first met my wife as a lad.
"Whit's ment fer ye willnae' go bye ye son..." F8. I believe.

I have one as well. When we wear them at the same time, our awesomeness increases 20%. On average.

YOUR commentary is PRICELESS!! "...she said I wuz too wild" "....But both my brother and I were expelled the next year" I thinks da gurl had/has a really really valid point! She is a total CUTIE and extremely nearsighted but I wouldn't hold that against her

Travis
Stop being so modest. Together the awesometer gets to 21%, easy. For a basic, loose woolie, the coat's got utility. Doesn't like to get soaked, but I grab it often in dry snow conditions.
Honest to God those Columbias rank right up there as my favorite shirt/jacket ever! A little too cool for a t-shirt? Perfect. Put a nice thick hooded sweatshirt under it and your good till pretty damned cold! The pants rock too.

You look good in most anything, but my fav is the suspenders.
I didn't mind the jacket til flave said you boys were the bobsy twins.
But that sumbeach picks up beggers lice like a b!tch though.

Well thanks 'slave!
When we team up w/ the Columbias the world is our oyster, no doubt.
Cactus thorns and damn near any type of burr are a beotch with them i agree. Friggin things are like a magnet for the [bleep]. And they allow the wind to breeze on through. But hell, Big Bear in Great Falls has them on sale for 50 bones usually once a year or so. I've got the hooded one too, but that shirt sees the most use. No, it's no filson, kom, sleeping indian, take your pic but I find them darn comfy and pretty practical to boot.
Slip that jacket on next time you stop by the colony of your choice, and they'll believe you (again) that your name is Travis and you are their to expand the DNA in their gene pool.

I've had reports of colony babies entering the world with face tans in the shape of aviators and yelling GFY when they slap them on the butt. They also seem drawn to anchovies.

Dwayne
your daughters are beautiful, good thing they took after their mother.
Considering I just got done exposing my little buddy to -20F wind chill, your comment is well noted. I just remembered why I was putting my coat on. Must have repressed the memory until now.
HOLY FLYIN' FUDGEPACKER, whats that in your avater Bro?
Gunner
Some dude I came across on the internet looking for pictures of guns, it's some 40 year old dude advertising himself as 23 atletic and surrounded by guns and guitars.
I thought it was funny as hell but you can't see everything in the avatar.

Me eyes dayuum, could ya overnight a 55 gal drum of eye bleach please?
From what I gather the picture was taken off of some dating site.
Looks to me to be some dumb azz redneck who won a little in the lotto, bought some guns and thinks he's a ladies man with the cash.
Just to clarify....there is a difference between a redneck and a dumb azz redneck (didn't want to insult any of the rednecks out there as I know they have access to the internet now)
Hey on second thought could this be deflaves dating site ad??
Ravenr2; Thanks for sharing the photo with us sir, you make a fine looking couple.
If I may add, some of us can pull off wearing a hat and some of us can't somehow. In my opinion - as a fellow hat wearer might I say - you sir are one who can indeed make a western hat work.
In the back of my mind, I think I've seen the painting you folks are in front of, but can't be certain. Would it be in the western art wing of the Cody Museum complex or am I (again/still) wrong again?
Thanks again for sharing your better half with us. All the best to you both.
it felt great to be able to sleep at night without waking up because it would get caught under my back. having to put it in a pony tail every morning was a pain.
it almost got me killed or seriously injured and thats why i cut it. i was working on my charger getting ready to go race and i almost got it caught in the fan belt.
15 March 2012 - Our 38th anniversary in front of the 16th century church in Rota Spain in which we were married.
http://images.military.com/UserImages/528036 Wedding Day 15 Mar 74 - Rota Spain Leaving Iglesia de la O after the wedding. My dear mother-in-law is the little lady in black, left side of pic, holding scarf on her head. Her husband had just passed away three months earlier.
lol. Awesome, friend. Your better half radiates. That a Toy' FJ? I didn't know they had suicide doors. [/quote]
yep suicide doors on the FJ. She is looking hard to find an old one to buy now to have a match from the originals just because.... grins.... she already owns a 51 willys jeep that needs much more work again...
Ummm....good gawd Drummond she is hot! The pics of the flocking she took at Christmas were good, but these are even better. You really out did yourself with her.

Thanks bud! I think we've all outdone ourselves. This thread is proof that women have no taste in men
::SIGH::: Here I sit atop the Bellfry at Notre Dame and I must ask, "I'm not that bad am I ?"""""
Well, not that bad... but we have seen your picture, and we would give you less grief if you stopped posting pictures of your attractive daughter and passing them off as pictures of your wife. The same applies to Ingwe and his (alleged) pictures of the fair Ingwewife.
Seriously, as already noted, this is a great thread with lots of great photographs and good humour -- and I almost missed it.
drum this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. had no idea 20 yrs ago, how "lucky" we would be. Did we?
We didn't have a clue. And we thought we were the luckiest guys on earth because we got to hunt big deer every day. Nope, we had no clue at all that it could actually get BETTER!
This is the most recent one of her. We went down to the Santa Monica beach last weekend.
One of my favorite pictures of her is from the first time I took her shooting. She had a blast. I spent thirty years trying to learn to shoot paper that good and she did it on her first try.
A very entertaining and light-hearted thread. I contributed back on about page four but here are a few more. Here is me following her through the desert in the Southwest May of this year:
