Damn Dave!  Are you SURE you're not the guy that worked for Harris Waste Management (with George) down by PDX that I met?  If not, there's another guy who lives up by you that looks like you AND bit flips!  Spooky!

Thanks, sharke. I'll check it out.
 
Happily, my sig image has been restored now, via Photobucket. That formula has been a great ice-breaker over the years, motivating dozens of people to PM me asking what it is. I've met some great folks in the process.
 
Second test, looking for candidates to replace my dishonestly out-of-date avatar, a photo from c. 1995. Here's the most recent selfie I could find...

You look very much like someone and I cannot think who....

Put a cap on him and you almost got George R. R. Martin?

I use photobucket

This is going to take me weeks to finger out the significance of those to images.

photobucket has become an enormous pain to use (since like 3-4 years ago) and doesn't play nice with some forums... at least on my system. I don't post many images and when I do I just hotlink (bad man that I am) but I think sharke may have made the best recommendation. There is also tumblr but I'm not sure how that one works. Seems like there is a much more social media component to it as opposed to a simple image host but it does seem to work well.
 
Also... lulz, QE.

Hint:
 
The second one looks a lot like a 60's tv star.

Yea, I get the same feeling but I can't quite put my finger on it.
 
 

Hey Dave , 
now that I see you have long hair and a beard I'm gonna listen to you more 
I may not understand half the deep stuff your saying …but I'm gonna try ...

I've had a free account at Photobucket for years, and still.
 
It has worked very well for me. Easy to one-click copy the direct image and paste
here using the Insert/Edit Image button. One-click-Ctl V = done deal.
Of course there is always the resizing to move the image and other quirks due to
the forums software issues- but no problems and no complaints about Photobucket.
 
 
And...you reminded of this picker...

Yup...Warren Haynes. Great minds think alike.

You look like a younger version of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young in a way. One of those, and that guy has his own recording studio.
I use several places but they are not private in any sense and you have to copy the link, well all of that.

The first one the most, and I lost my password whatever else info to Photobucket and never came back to it, plus they limit the size, while the first link can I think hold a slightly bigger image.

Something like that perhaps.
