Hey all. On the other forum they had a geat idea. I hope it goes over equally as well here as it has over there. Why not share some picks of ourselves and our work stations. I will kick it off.
All righty then, here are some picks of me, my girl and my home work station. Keep in mind that I just set up my work station recently as I had a much better set-up at my old office at work. Now that I am going back and forth - some home and some in my new office, Then I have not yet invested into my permanant choice of a good desk and work station.
Lastly I recently shaved my head and no matter how many pics I had my girlfriend snap I could not get a good one. So this pic of me when we whent on a cruise ship a few years back is all I can show you until my hair grows back.
Enjoy...

Sorry no pictures to share, but....looking at your sweatshirt....I used to live and work on MV!! Did you take the Chappy Ferry to Chappaquiddick? Chances are I might have been your skipper. I drove the ferry for three years and worked at/on various boats and boatyards on the island. Once we started a family we moved off, so those are only wonderful memories now.

Win, how are you my friend? I have never been to the Vinyard and Ted Kennedy kinda ruined me for Chappaquiddick with his water sport. The sweat shirt was a gift from a friend that whent there. I have always wanted to visit the Islands - Nantuckett, Rock island and the vin, but never have gotten around to it.
Driger nice car and cat. I like cats better than dogs, they do not beg for attention and drool all over the place.
Come on guys everyone has a digital camera, just snap some pics plug it into your comuter, how hard can that be. I would love to put some faces to those that I have been calling friend for three years.
I look foward to seeing some of you .......

Okay Apsll, I hop you know what you're asking for here. I am impossibly bad at narrowing down favorite photos (of the few that i take) -- so essentitially you arbout to get a pitoral life history. But where to start...
How about the trading desk. Sounds good. For some reason there was a pile of money on the desk when I took this shot. I am not usually this obnoxious, so please ignore it. I think I had played poker the night before and those were winnings (must have been a rare night indeed!).
Notice the flood of postits. Those must be all trading rules. haha I would like to know what that 3x5 card says. It's not there anymore. Probably was the secret to the market which I have forgotten.
Here are SEVERAL photos of me, because, of course I can't choose. Looking at them now I realize I take some fairly rediculous photos and some of myself...
Here is me and the girlfriend Patricia...
That is not my minivan in the background, nor my house.
Here I am cleaned up (i.e. not on the way to or from happy hour) and ready for work.
Here is happy hour me with a random girl behind me. Actually, she's a freind, but it's funny.
Here's me on a phto shoot I did for a friend. He was putting together a wedding portfoli so i had to pretend it was my wedding and I had just met this girl that day. I must say I look pretty suave. lol
Here's the beach I surf at whenever my head is not in the computer screen:
It's nice to have that just down the block!
And finally, seeing as someone posted a photo of their car, I didn't want mine to feel left out. (Sorry, I don't have any pets).
If you're ever in the market for an affordable sportscar I could not recomend the M# more. This one's a 98 convertible and I have never driven a car that handles like this one.
Well, that's about it. I can't believe how hard of an exercise this was. lol But once I got going, as you can tell, I just couldn't stop!

Thanks for forcing me to come out of hiding Apsll. I will now go post this on the other forum as well.

I am glad to put a face to Sir Knight of the round table. although maybe you had better show us a reciept for that car, bigblock might not believe that it is yours.
Good job David.
Come on folks lets see some more of you ....

As one of the elder members here, I was reticent to share pics of myself. Finally, humility overcame me and I thought I should share this snapshot from some of the recent trading news publications.
After the Dow dropped below 12,000, Tobydad's trades took a turn for the worse. The yacht repossessors were, as onlookers from the dock described, "less than kind".

From the "We Only Go Long" Newsletter:
"As the markets continue to plunge, Tobydad insists his world-famous "Tobydad Profile" can withstand the slippery slope of the worst bear market in years"
Take it from me folks, you have to give in and let the trend be your friend. Following is a little pictorial essay of my life after the, now, infamous Tobydad profile.
We had to trade in our BlueBird motor home for this little number:
The Maybach got repo'd right after the yacht (see sad story above). We were able to negotiate for this sweet ride:
We just couildn't give up the water, so, even with the yacht now owned by others, we managed to procure a little something for those Sunday outings on the bay:
And, last but not least, the new "crib",
Learn from me, young traders.
All the best,
Tobydad

Ok, I was really hesitant about all this. But here goes. Jeeze this is kinda wierd.
That's me and someone special doing a little thing at a nursing home. I taught Ballroom ages ago. what a woman.
My trading gear.
Note pad for first cut picks, and daily diary, thoughts on the broader market action steps for the next tradign day, 22" monitor and practicaly rebuilt presario. 500 GIG Hard drive with 40 gig slave, Nvidia graphics card DVD player recorder and about 5 more USB ports than I'll ever use and his and her mice. Scanner with cruddy OCR for ocasional accademic work or graphics. Web cam for video confrencing my in laws in Russia. Stock speakers, printer,keyboard. Desk is 1950's era drafting/office table that I HATE LUGGING around to each new office location. But I've gotten used to it.
It's like the family alchoholic.. you hate them but can't seem to bring your self to leave them at the rest stop.
I drive a 2002 Black civic that gets great mileage. I wanted to take her picture but she's sensitive ... a branch fell on her and left a mark on her noggin and tail during a wind storm. Other car is a god knows when subaru used primarily for hauling my kayaks and Logs around. (avid wood carver)
One of my recent bowls.. in Red Elm. It's hard to see here but the hair line cracks that formed while it was drying were filled with crushed Turquoise. Elm is a pain to work.
This one was sent to France.

Wait til they start wearing the mac & cheese....not quite as cute. My wife just reminded me about Bill Cosby's quote that children go through a stage wear they get most of their nutrition by osmosis. Smeared all over them.
Fun stage...glad to be over it.
Your house? That's your house? We were told we were buying it from a struggling trader, just never knew it was you. Small world.

Well, what the heck. I might as well join the group. This is a pic of my work station on the right. The laptop in the middle is wireless and I use it around the house, in the sunroom, or outside sometimes. My wife uses the computer on the left to surf the web and also to do her hobbies.
I had a hard time finding a pic with me in it as I am the one that takes all the pics. But I did manage to find one where we took my in-laws out for breakfast when they visited us. That's my wife on the right side and me next to her.
