    My last name is Kramer and I didn't have any other picture that I wanted to use so I found a Seinfeld Kramer picture I liked.

    My Avatar tells the group I like helicopters. I was building one a few years back. It was a single place design built around an Allison turbine out of a military OH-6 helicopter.

    One day my wife told me if if I wanted to finish my helicopter, I'd have to get a full time job - to which I responded, let me give that some serious thought, no thanks. So, I sold most of it and decided I could afford to build a rod.... which is getting more expensive than I thought it would. You know, cost to the tenth power, time to the twentieth power.

    The Avatar is from last May of my wife and I with our pilot Ken from Inter-Island Helicopters in Kauai and his Hughes 500F - which has a higher horse power version of the engine I had in my project ........ and miss dearly.

    Mine's a pic of my daily driver. I love the way it looks now, and thought this was a cool pic. It'll probably be changed once I get the Plymouth in suade and some whitewalls on her.

    I put mine up, because some guys (call him OFFENDED guy) was calling another guy (call him MAN GUY) out on his avatar. It was a normal pic of a guy firing an M4 assault rifle. The OFFENDED Guy went crazy, telling him how tasteless it was, and how big of a redneck he was...OFFENDED Guy was obviosly not comfortable around military type weaponry. SO, I stuck up for MAN Guy, and added my redneck-ish, and slightly larger weapon, also during the firing sequence.
    Why this particular pic?

    Well....

    the HAMB PROBABLY would not like to see any pics of dead insurgents as avatars..so I chose the AC in action

    That, and it's what I do for a living....

    Mine is my shoebox. Some progress has been made since the photo was taken but as the front sheet metal is off & the body is off the frame it looks worse.
