Again, returning to work. 5 or 6 weeks of last minute training, observation etc, and hopefully I get paperwork signed off stating that I am ready to hit the streets in a solo capacity. Wish me luck!

She is soooo cute!!! Soon, soon I will have my own.

Ever get like this?

I have been thinking about what to get as my next tattoo. I know that it’s gonna be a sleeve on my right arm. The only question is what to put on it? I know it’s gonna be japanese in nature, and has to mean something to me along with looking pretty awesome.

Ramune suggested that besides the Koi fish, that I might consider a Kitsune. Here is a picture of what a Kitsune would look like. The Kitsune for those of you who don’t know is a fox. Namely a Japanese demon fox with multiple tails. There is alot of mythology connected to it. See this Wikipedia article.

So I may be changing my next purchase from the Ducati 848 to the Yamaha R6, pictured below. two reasons:
1st being that the 848 is still in it’s 1st year of production. If the 1098 is any indication I should probably wait for next years iteration.
2nd reason being that, well, the cost. It’ll be about $100 cheaper monthly to get this.

I also have some customization plans for it that will set it aside from any other bike out there When they are done I will post pics. Of course first things first, finish my FTO.

Ok ok, so I’ve been playing Call Of Duty 4 alot lately…but I was actually referring to the fact that the pin has finally come out of my finger. Pis to follow. Interesting note, I had NO idea that the oin was actually in my bone this whole time!! The doc had drilled a hole through the bone-s…man, what a trip. The feeling of him puling the wire out was really frackin gross, and then he pulled the pin out with this odd twisting motion. Ewwwww

I finished COD4 yesterday on easy mode..now to try out some of the other features available to me and go again with a harder mode. I <3 my XBox 360. I wanna get a used copy of Gears of War as I totally thought the game play looked great. In the mean time I can play online with my brother-in-law and his brother. A few more upgrades on my status and I can join his clan [CAB], u figure out what it stands for.

Now, to relax with some scotch and my copy of Empire Strikes Back.

2 more days until I get my pin taken out!!!! I don’t know how long it’ll be until the doc lets me get back to work…then who knows who my FTO is gonna be? How well will I perform? You may have an idea of what it’s like to not know if the job is officially YOURS yet.

In other news, I got Ramune a Promise ring..here is a pic for ya… She has been getting so many “congratulations” on getting engaged, nobody believes her when she says it’s a promise ring…

It looks gorgeous on her.

Next payday time to get those vanities and sinks installed in the bathrooms. That should complete them for now…till I get around to repainting the downstairs one and installing new lighting.

Season 4 is on now…thank you!!!

Now here is a gag reel I found
