I got some stuff I wanted, these specific style/brand of PJ's that are great for camping and travel trips as well as some "Geek Stuff"..

I kid you not, all inferences and jokes aside, it's a cool little trinket to use around the toolbox. Has a regular pen attachment as well as a UV ink attachment that works with the UV light. I like it b/c I'm tired of all the "Honey-Do List" things right now.

I can use everything else to fix things, why not something to show when I don't want to bother with stuff, right, just say..

"Hmmm, if this didn't work I don't know what will, maybe I should be paid to fix stuff?"

1st batch of homebrew is almost ready for bottleing, but I wanted to show off my father's day/xmas/bday/etc... gift that I finally got after years of figuring out what/how I wanted it.

It still isn't done, but here's what's done so far.

Thanks Chris! This one has been years in the making. Originally it was going to be one of my kids' names on each forearm until I stumbled upon the fact that they could be made into an ambigram.

. . . until I stumbled upon the fact that they could be made into an ambigram.


I didn't even notice that, I though it was one name on each forearm. Very cool Chris

Wow...that's awesome! I thought it was a name on each arm as well. :thumbup:

If I ever get a tattoo, I want an 18 cylinder radial aircraft engine on my shoulder with a twisted 3 blade prop. Maybe some angel wings or something behind. Also would like one of those US symbols that were used on WWII aircraft (the star with bars on either side). :D

Thanks! Yeah, just one arm, but I'm eyeing that other arm now since it looks so bare! Haha Eventually I want full sleeves on both arms.... I'll continue that hops vine and cones to fill in any bare spots and tie it all together.

Dan, that sounds like an awesome tattoo idea.

Sick Chris, I saw that first thing! *I forget what the term for the stylized writing is?

Wait to see if I ever finally knuckle down and have Grimes or another friend finally do mine over the scars on my left back/shoulder/arm.

We're thinking a Japanese Dragon and a Samurai, he's gonna run clear on the scars to see if they'll gloss over or bump up, then it'll dictate on whether or not it becomes bits of Dragon's skin, or Polished Blade and Armor. :D

Then again, all that'll be around the price of a 3.4..the tattoo would go further thoh.. LOL.

Can't wait for it to heal up and see how the yellow and bright green end up...
