Hello.
I wanted to introduce myself here. I recognize a lot of names from COW, TLP and FL so I feel like I know most of you already.
For those of you I do not know yet, my name is Rick Theriault and I live in Londonderry, NH. I have been collecting props and gear for a number of years, but I am most concerned with gear I can actually use.
I have 5 Westeds and about 20 miscellaneous leather jackets. I have a decent A-2 goatskin, but my current favorite is an authentic leather jacket from the 1930's, complete with side straps. Indyish without being an exact copy.
I have more hats than I can count including the beloved Akubra (actually 5 of them), Optimo, the Sterling Beaver from Gladhatter, a Stetson from the 1930's and a few mongrel fedoras. The only non-fedora style hat I own is the Akubra Down Under (complete with crocodile teeth).
I am a big Van Halen fan (hence the "5150" part of my user name) and like all music except country. I play guitar (and I use this term loosely), write short stories and occasionally draw, but nowhere near as well as I used to.
For a number of years I had asthma and used an inhaler several times per day. Shortly before I turned 40, I realized that it was no longer a good idea to buy larger pants as my waistline increased and I went on the Atkins Diet and lost 20 lbs. As a result, I no longer carry an inhaler and I look forward to exercise.
I love to hike and if you spend any time in the mountains of NH, look for the short stumpy-looking guy with the big nose and the fedora. That will be me ;) Recently, I have conquered Mt. Monadnock, Mt. Cardigan, Mt. Chocorua, Arethusa Falls/Frankenstein Cliff and many others. I am occasionally into geocaching, but I am tired of finding the caches full of trinkets, nuts and bolts and such :(
Looking at the posts, I can see that some things are the same on this forum as on others. Quite the fiesty bunch here. Time for me to go and take a look around. Cheers!
