whats new?

eh not a whole lot. shops been busy, i've been tire, and the ground has been white!

actually pretty happy about the white, id be getting tired off all the dead tan and brown colors :S

but as thats been happening ive been trying to send photos to photobucket regularly so when its time to make a post ive got at least something to mindlessly put up ;)



been painting a bunch...



Rancor!



hot rod!

i think ive been averaging three at a time? either way feels good to be busy :)



started this as well, check the link to the right "tattoos i do" for more on all that :)



and a little teaser to get you to go over there if you hadnt already clicked ;)



i also went to omaha



to see her :)




we went ice skating :) ill post video eventually :)

Sigh...

Sorry to my every third day readers for such a lack of updates, after a holiday season of a heck of alot of driving im finally back to work and hopefully back to being productive.



over the holidays i got a new camera so i've been messing iwth shooting video and photos with it to get a feel for it. this church was in Indy outside of the building that the auto show was held in.



all kinds of shiney 2012's to check out



kinda dug on this Subaru, might have to put it on my list of 'maybes' for when we go new car shopping :)

it was kinda cool to go to a 'car show' that was all the brand new models. It let you compare cars side by side in real life side by side instead of on some sheet of paper or computer screen. things are always different in person.



proof i was actualy there



on the way back we stopped at the worlds largest truck stop!

i took alot of video but nothing worth posting...



but i did get a good photo of sarah with a cool power wagon she thought was cool :)



sent some save the dates out for the wedding and and updated my tattoo blog linked over there ------>

and thats about it, exciting right?

right ;)

BLACK friday...ish

hit up target last night, line was a good 1/4 mile if not a full half. haha crazy





behind me



around the corner!



finally there! only 30 ppl at a time allowed. went pretty easy actauly, thank god.



not enough sleep and it was time for husker football!



after a good 30+ miles at 10 mph on the interstate all jammed up we seem to have all gotten here at the same time :0



row 1 seat 4! sooooooooo close to the field!



watching the game from this perspective was so different then my typical vantages' very cool.



$3 hot dog was of course had, must be a dollar a bite? was a good game and we headed out.



grabbed some dinner and watched the new muppet movie, very good btw.



some more quick mall action for Sarah to show me what a girl like her mightlike for christmass :)



us being so attractive in a wall sized mirror at the mall haha

yikes....

So i seem to have forgoten to blog the last two days. I'd say I'm sorry but I'm not. I spent blogging time laying around on the couch with Sarah watching movies instead. time well spent? i think so :) Any how, what happened the last few days?



i started this neato dragon tattoo



ate this awesome ham centered dinner with my family minus jon and his kin



Kris came up with the great idea of pumpkin pie+ whipped cream+ puppy chow. yum! only thing it needs is a little chocolate syrup on top :)



then it was onto turkey day with the whole family!

i was to busy stuffing my face and playing with my super cute niece to bother with more photos ha.



then we headed out to show jon the 46, we decided we may as well shoot some guns with matt while we were there :)



Sarah taking care of business with a little 22 pistol



moving onto something a little bigger!



a ruger gp 100 .357, blued of course ;)



knocking them down :)

Im sure sarah will have more/better photos but thats all ive got :) I had a wonderful day and am entirely grateful for everything I've been blessed with.

go check out Sarahs blog for more, im off to help bake before heading to some midnight shopping and the Husker game tomorrow!

maybe ill take some video to pot on tomorrows blog :)





hopefully this wont feel like a license plate i want to tear in half after the game haha, saw this in a parking lot wednesday

tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuesday

2.5: detail



3:



wrapped up chrome!

4:



new brake stuff!

details to be revealed when they are being used/put together as to not super duper repeat myself :) i know, what a tease.



keeping with that theme this is a drawing for a tattoo of a knuckle head harley motor and some roses that i did today and then spaced off actually taking a photo of it finished. awesome right?



not as awesome as this.

I'd say I was lucky to have found this girl, or to end up in this life. But when every day she/it just gets better in ways you couldn't have ever thought of? Well I'm obviously just flat out blessed. I'm so entirely stoked to spend the rest of my life with the person that was so obviously made for me, so insanely perfect.

suit up!

so right at the crack of 11am i got up and headed to have lunch with sarah at school with some of her friends, and what do i see what i get there? part of my freshly painted dash delivered from nebraska! rad :) its just the glove box door but im pretty stoked on it.

after lunch i worked on some little stuff here and there and for tomorrows tattoo, which hopefully goes super well and i get good-ish photos to post :)



then sarah and i were off to go suit and surprise to me, shoe shopping for the wedding and i guess just to look good in the mean time :)



with the sky looking about like this we figured we aught to take a dinner break... we were finished, tired and back in the car by 6:30 we deemed ourselfs officaly old people. haha



two of my favorite things in one photo, sarah and this cheese, spinach, lobster dip with chips. whoa. so good.



we ate at this place called firebirds, its was way tasty. we had what turns out to be buffalo meatloaf and it was great! so happy to actually be able to say that after eating out somewhere. it doesn't happen much.



like we weren't going to get the cheese cake? yeah right haha

after having our fill we headed to another suit place and dang if i wasn't lookin daaaaaaaang good :) we picked out two and had them marked for alterations :) so excited :)



then on to see my bff Audi Helkuik



who has indeed been to the met in NYC. i've seen it.

the end :)
