Shadow

Last night will burn in my memory always! My favorite rock band allowed me up on stage after soundcheck to TRY to hold up with them for a song on my own! Lead guitarist took up my spot down front of stage and recorded a video for me. 
1st I have to say, playing at home along with Youtube videos with no pressure or crashing drums beside you.... SOOOOOOO MUCH EASIER!!! 
That being said, i DID mess up a bit but everyone there said I did an amazing job powering through and even nailed a few spots and drop ins!! My hands were shaking soooo much after lol!
Tonight will be my 50th time seeing the band play

Hi,
as you know I regularry go to Egypt to dive.  Here are some pictures of the last ones.
All taken in Marsa Alam and surroundings.
 
 

Finished off my full sleeve today! My whole right arm is tattoos dedicated to my fav band and good friends Monster Truck. Had a spot left at my elbow, so, asked the lead singer of the band to draw something to go in there, so he drew me up a spider web and spider and the spider has a MT on the body for Monster Truck. Fit in perfect!!!

 
 
Then to make day even better my Daughter came with me and got her 2nd tattoo. A bouquet of 5 flowers, each one being one of our birth flowers, an idea she came up with on her own!

 
Then we went out for a nice dinner after. Was a great day!!!

Sooo..
We just had Waya (my wife's trike) detailed a few days ago.. (first time since we had it painted 3 years ago. The detailing included almost 8 hours of work by the guy who came to our house with his boxes of tools and goodies, lights, fans, battery powered DA's, etc, and when he was done.. it's like this bike is back to the day we picked it up, freshly painted and clear coated back in May of 2020. We had dropped the bike off at the artist's at the end of October 2019, he had it almost 7 months working on it.. airbrushing, applying gold leaf, hand painting, pinstriping, then 3 6 mil coats of clear rubbed out after each layer with 2000, then 4000, then finally 5500 grit wet sandpaper, and the shine is sooo deep and clear.. now, it is back to that after all Troy's hard work, and the application of a ceramic coating that will protect it like nobody's business.
here are a few pics after the detail. Please enjoy, as my wife and I sure do!
PS. thiS Trike, and my Road Glide Limited will be at XIFest this year, we are looking forward to seeing everyone there!
 

Hey, just want to give a shout-out to @Markoff for creating a new sig.
Thanks Mark.  Cheers

Hello everyone, some of you know what's been going on with my parents. I'll try and keep this short. Mom and dad are 87 and 90. Dad will be 91 in August mom 88 in September.
in April mom had critical loss of blood circulation in her left leg. If you've never seen someone's legs dying it's a nasty looking and painful thing.  She was faced with the real possibility of amputation. Luckily her medical providers were able to surgically improve her circulation to the point her feet are slowly healing and the pain has improved.
As you know my dad has a multitude of health issues. Congestive heart failure, dialysis 3 times a week, broke his hip twice. Sadly in May he started having sores on his legs and was being in the home by Extramural care. Finally we had to call an ambulance and have him taken to Emergency. He was diagnosed with Critical loss of blood circulation in his right leg and LIVER CANCER involving 1/3 of his liver.
At 90 there was great debate in the hospital about treating a 90 year old man with so many conditions of which anyone of them could kill him at any moment. You see my dad is a very intelligent and mentally functioning man. He still pays his bills on line with an iPad. The medical staff are all amazed at how sharp of mind he is.
They performed the same procedure on his right leg as they did for my mother. He now has improved blood flow in his lower legs reducing the pain and starting the healing.
Dad, my 2 bothers and I had a meeting with the Oncologist regarding the Liver Cancer. He was a great Doctor and explained everything in a gentle way to all of us. He made it a point to say he questioned the wisdom of the other Doctors in treating Dad's circulation but he said after he met dad and interviewed he now agrees with their decision. 
Unfortunately Dad's Liver Cancer is not treatable as his age and multitude of medical issue would just make him suffer and not accomplish any improvement. The Oncologist mentioned dad's options will be Palliative or Hospice care when the time comes. He is currently in the hospital.
Dad has made great improvement in the last week as always he continues to shock his Doctors. This morning the Unit Doctor told us Dad is not ready for Palliative! They are going to heal the sores on his legs and get him ready for a nursing home. He is one fighter.
On July 1st Mom and Dad celebrated their 69th wedding Anniversary in the Dialysis department in the hospital.
Sorry this is so long.
Remember if you have someone in your life you love you better tell them.
So I love you all....................in a family way!

With 320+ ping from NZ, this was some lucky day (rather night..) for me lol.... normally....it's not me 🙈

Nicely done!!!   Don't forget to provide for a grill area so when we visit we have eats to go with the beer!!!

Finished up the deck, besides the railings. Soffit and facia completed, new window upstairs framed in and completed.  Just as I was about to pull the high-power lines off to finish up the siding, it started raining.  hoping to get this side done real soon.  
 




 

Just finished putting the railing on.  really looking forward to building the other side, but I need to bank some funds first.

I can never buy exactly what I need, and I can never make what I want correctly.  Thank you though, I think it turned out pretty awesome.  Our gecko's should be arriving tomorrow.  

Decided to get a couple leopard geckos so I had to build a new enclosure. 
I do everything the hard way, but I thought I'd share some more pictures. 🙂
 







 

Nice. A home like that would cost a Million dollars in Toronto.
