The parting

My new years resolution this year was to stop being so attached to things. I thought about it for a few weeks... Hey, I've got two bikes and two Blazers... Shouldn't I only have one of each? By thinking this I immediately told myself if you thought this, it must be right, right? So, which Blazer and which bike to go? On the Blazer, I've got one that my dad bought in '79. How much more sentimental can you get? I practiclly grew up in that thing! Then there is the new to me Blazer. It is way more solid of a truck, better engine, better transmission, newer this that and all. So what's it gonna be, sentimental or sound? Being as I plan on keeping one of them forever, I'm going with sound. My Pops and I have been through alot with that ol' Blazer, lots of memories, both good and bad. That's just it. Memories. I think some other father and son need to get the truck and let it create memories for them. I've hogged it enough.
  The CB750 below was bought because it was a good deal, and because it is a '73 (the year I was born).  I almost feel I need to part with it before I end up looking at it like it's the Blazer (to prove a point). I'll still have a Blazer, and I'll still have a bike. But for now, I have two of each. Come on craigslist. Hate to see them go, but I'm looking at it like I am hoarding someone elses future memories...

Artist Unknown

This guy has more talent in his little finger nail than a lot of people could ever obtain with a lifetime of training. Even if he didn't work for Dr Pepper I'd still love him. So many people will see his work around and not even know he's the one behind the scenes. I try to get involved when he does one of these. I keep him company and hand him things while he's on the ladder picking up little tips and tricks of the trade. One of these days Johhny I'm gonna take over! 



Looks like rain

Looks like a few days of rain are headed our way so I took the trusty ol' girl out for about a 30 mile journey. I have a soft spot in my heart for these old Hondas. Fast, cheap, and easy... Sunday night rides are my favorite.

Tattooed

If you know me you would had thought this would had been my first tattoo... 

So I finally got my Dr Pepper tattoo. I went down to Randy Adam's Tattoo Studio and had Wil do this one for me. If you don't know Wil, he's a helluva nice guy. Some how I was introduced to Chad (who is no longer with us) to do about eight of my tattoos. Every time I was in Chad's chair good ol' Wil would stop and see what I was getting and make small talk. I was living about six blocks from the place at the time and would stop by regularly. If Chad was busy, I'd talk to Wil and watch him work. I really wanted Wil to tattoo me also, but was uncertain on how Chad would feel. He and I had become pretty tight. Now that he has departed this world, looks like I'm in good hands with Wil... If you are looking to get tattooed, I highly recommend Wil. 



clean your room

  Well I'm a firm believer that one can never have too much "stuff". I mean as long as it is good stuff. It doesn't have to be organized, just displayed. O.k., it can be stored, just be neat about it!
