Here's my story
and some decades deferred, minor $$$ facts 
: Shaved my head Christmas Eve 1983 - living 5,000 ft. elevation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I was a busy masonry and concrete contractor up there for nearly a decade. I missed having a boat while in the mountains - but - I had a freaking blast in my 20's to 32 yrs. old in the wild and woolly Sierra mountains! Settled into SF CA area August 18th 1984... and went boating!
Christmas eve 1983 with bottle o' Tequila on the table and friends over to my house for holiday PARTY! Gift of rechargeable Norelco roto track razor with a trimmer was given to me. By end of night I'd shaved my head bald from near shoulder length blond locks. I was 31 yrs. old. Back then not many WASP had shaved heads... In those days Yule Brenner and Tellay Sevales were two stars that did!
I was balding on top anyway and being a buffed dude I quickly dug being shaved bald. I've been so ever since!
Here's a little rough/average math [34 yrs. shaved head]:
20 hair cuts a year x 34 yr. at $10 per haircut = $6,800 savings
4 bottles shampoo / 4 bottles conditioner per yr. x 34 yrs. at $3 ea. = $816 savings.
Total Savings During 34 Years of shaved Head = $7616
BTW - Ever since getting the gift electric razor Christmas eve 1983 I've never had to bay for a new razor. Why??? Because I'm the only shaved head in our family and when ever a new razor is needed I get one as a Christmas present!

C'mon, Art!! I know you've got more than 4-5 images in your inventory. That's yesterday's news. Let's see some current material.
Hi Al
Been real slack on taking boating photos for last few years. May take some more this summer. Gonna try and get on the water this coming holiday weekend. Recent years have been filled with too many family responsibilities that limit my/our water time.

I used to be a slave to the "good photo". If I didn't have my DSLR, with the right lense, the right light, the perfect composition etc... I wouldn't bother. The upshot is that I didn't shoot as many photos.
Now, like the photos I posted this weekend, I just hand my iPad out the Pilothouse door and snap a shot and post it. They aren't great, but they are a photo.

The rising sun always looks great, looking at it from around the world or different wheelhouse!
Last September morning Sweden Norrtälje, leaving home to Finland.

Looks like any edible item in your dink is about to get pounced on... by Tiger!
As Chris Rock would say: " That tiger ain't crazy.. that tiger went tiger!"

A few of my favorites -
I love sunrise and sunset photos. Here are a few of my favorites.
The Columbia River and the US-395 bridge.
My Galley Wench (her choice of titles, not mine!) with the Columbia River in the background.
Not from the pilothouse, but one of my favorites. The Columbia River Gorge area near Cascade Locks, OR.
I like the cloud and it's reflection on the water.

If you can see Mt. Rainier, it's going to rain. If you can't see Mt. Rainier...
