I have yet another way to blog. This is being sent from my Blackberry Bold as a test. I’m not sure how the picture size format will come out but I’ll figure it out later.

I’ve been riding the Harley Davidson Roadking around town the past few days. I’m getting used to any limitations my surgery may have caused. So far, I feel like I can ride normal. I do have some discomfort when moving my head certain directions or angles but for the most part I can ride safely. I plan on putting more miles this week on the scoot and start building up the strength in my neck and back area so I guess I’ll be hitting a few shops around the valley just to have a destination.

I’ve been taking it easy without the brace lately. I have officially a week to go before I am able to rid of it but I’m taking it easy. I only rode the motorcycle twice :O – I will be officially cleared to ride the scoot in a month but you know how that goes. It would be damn near impossible for me to wait the full healing duration. Once I feel I’m up to it, I’m going to do it. That’s the way I roll…

I went and picked up Harley at the vet’s. He is now neutered and has a pet microchip installed. I can tell he was feeling the discomfort of the surgery as he wasn’t his usual self getting in and out of the car. The operation was a success and we’ll see what kind of results we get.

I took Harley to the vet this morning so he could be neutered. Poor guy didn’t have a clue what was going on. He even had his head and paws hanging out of the car window enjoying the breeze on the way to the vet hospital.

It’s definitely strange not to have Harley in the house at night. He’s always with both of us or one or the other. He rarely stays by himself. Tomorrow I’ll pick him up right at 9am. The earliest possible time.

First thing first. The doctor told me I could sleep without the hard neck brace on and last night was the first time since the operation I was able to go to sleep when I went to bed! The brace definitely contribute to keeping me awake at nights. I’m glad that part is done and over with because it was freakin’ brutal.

I went back in to get my right side centerpiece worked on. The outlines were done and had been partially shaded. The tattoo artist went to town and got busy. It was amazing to watch the transformation come to play. I’m super pleased with the detail of the motorcycle. Lorraine wasn’t to stoked about her facial profile because of the nose orientation and shape but realizes that it is her.

The session lasted about 4.5 hours and was getting brutal towards the end because I was still tender from the 1st session. I’ll be working on the rest of the tat in a couple of weeks allowing healing time and figuring out for sure what theme I’ll have going on my right side.

I had my first of several tattoo session. I’m working on a centerpiece that will be part of my right side sleeve. The photo below is the first outline session, I’m going back in tomorrow for the shading detail and Filipino Tribal work.

It’s just another day at the homestead. At least the weather has come down a few degrees. One thing about Harley, he doesn’t sit with you he sits on you. No matter where I go in the house he will be next to me sitting on my foot. I guess there is not much to report for today. :O

It’s past 4am and I’m still up wide awake! I find that sleep only in the morning for a couple o hours.

I have a few more days until I see the doctor and find out what I am able to do. I’m hoping I’ll be able to ride the car, I interpret that as able to ride a motorcycle 🙂
