5' 11", 39 years old, full head of hair if I'd let it grow out but clipped with a #3, hair's going prematurely white just like dad and grandpa (dad's completely white at 60 and was at 50, sides were white at 35), and maybe a touch of "high forehead".
At least 25 lbs overweight so a belly yeah... Guilty as charged on that one. I used to "wear it well" but I need to get back on the workout wagon.
Wrangler blue jeans and a polo shirt most days with New Balance shoes -- or the cheaper new shoe habit I found for hiking Oshkosh this year -- Dr. Scholl's with those gel things built into the bottom.
They look like normal dark grey tennis shoes, but I'm secretly gellin'.
Used to have a huge ugly beard to go with my Unix hacking, but decided to mow it off and shave it every few days quite a while ago. My photo ID looks like a stereotypical terrorist mug shot still because of that. LOL.
Beard also going quite white lately I've noticed. Another good reason to keep it off. Sometimes in the winter I let it sneak out until it annoys me itching or I start getting snide comments from co-workers. Usually only in years I'm planning on skiing a lot. Snow and ice filled beards are pretty good insulation from cold wind.
Glasses, never contacts. Gave up on even soft contacts as far too annoying after about six months, over a decade ago. Folks say I looked better in them, but God, how DO you people put up with those things in your eyes all day?! Ugh!
Kinda partial to narrow Oakley frames I guess on the glasses. Bought some Scheyden flip up prescription sunglasses for flying. Walk around the airport looking like a complete dork in them, and don't care. The best optics I've ever seen in flip-ups. No glare. Amazing. Expensive. Worth every penny in the cockpit or driving across Nebraska on I-80.
Jean shorts or cargo shorts and a t-shirt on the weekends in summer unless going flying. Typically wear long pants for aviating unless it's above 90F out.
Have a couple pair of cowboy boots, but haven't worn them in a decade. Same for my smaller beaver-skin Nebraska style cowboy hat.
It's around here somewhere. Not a stitch on them, more like work boots. Not the frilly things you see at country bars. Think Greeley, CO boots here.
Got a dozen Hawaiian shirts too, just don't wear them that often. Co-worker today thought I should get it going as an IT department "standard" though. Maybe tomorrow. One guy comes in in sandals, shorts, and a t-shirt even in the winter I hear, so I'd be dressed up compared to him. Ha.
Many moons ago I had years of office jobs that required at least a shirt and tie. I always added a jacket or sport coat when wearing a tie. Shirt and tie by itself looks dippy to me. They're all hiding in my closet for interviews and special occasions, and of late, funerals.
So I can pull off a suit, and back when I performed musically a lot, a tux was often the Uniform of the Day. Vest please. Cummerbunds look like you're a waiter. And a bow tie. None of that silly long tie with a tux stuff.
Wintertime... flannel shirts when I can get away with it. Or long-sleeved button down Oxford style heavy weight. Have a few sweaters I never seem to wear. Fleeces until it gets too cold, then a huge but never puffy parka. Long.
And my ANSI reflective vest stays in the truck year-round. It's amazing how people react when you throw one of those on at an accident scene or just helping someone change a flat tire. You're instantly "in charge" whether you wanted to be, or you were just helping your odds of not being run over by a soccer mom testing while driving.
At Oshkosh outside in the sun or fishing I add a floppy cotton wide-brimmed Columbia army green hat to the "ensemble". The buzzed head has only been sunburnt once. I'm a quick learner. LOL!
A tower climbing harness, brimmed lineman's hardhat and leather hiking boots plus jeans and long sleeved shirts for those days when someone convinces me I'm the only idiot brave enough to climb the tower and fix the antennas for [whatever volunteer radio organizations get inserted here.]
Air Force surplus mechanic's jumpsuit in OD green for scrubbing the belly of the airplane.
Big nose. Round face. And I'm an "autumn" according to my wife. Hahaha.
Does that cover it?
