The world is spinning around pretty fast these days, faster than the 1000 plus miles per hour it is usually spinning at. Just about done with Elite Services, waiting on some last minute content, then a launch.

Went rock climbing with Felix, Howie and Abbey and Jennie was there for her first time. She did well. Rock climbing is one of the harder sports to start because even physically fit people are not used to lifting their own body with by their finger tips for a few hours. It takes certain parts some time to get used to. Like playing the guitar, once you got some thick finger tips you find it much easier. I found it to be harder then when I used to climb 10 years ago. (still had my shoes) A lot harder. I was in great shape back then and went climbing almost every weekend, all weekend, all summer long. Today my fingers feel like an 80 year old, my back hurts and I think I still smell the feet smell from the gym, burned into my nostrils. I will probably go a few more times and see if it is still for me. I may have gotten too lazy for rock climbing, and you know what? I also may be okay with that.

The road trip weekend to North Carolina went well. We visited Jennies family and the Challenger ate up the 1200 mile journey with ease. I learned that truckers love this car,blinking their lights at me or flashing their hazards when I pass. It is customary for truckers to blink their lights to let passing truckers know their trucks have passed with enough room and it is okay to come back into the lane. Usually the passing truck with blink his hazards once as a "thank-you" to the trucker behind him for letting him in. They also do it very occasionally to cars they like. I have seen a few hot rods get the treatment on the roads and it was certainly an honor to be communicated with by the most massive vehicles on the roads. Probably not a bad thing either when they are literally the only other vehicles out there at 2 am. Maybe they dig the car because it is mostly Ram parts. Jennie snapped this photo while we flew through Virginia. That yellow bit in the center is the moon. It was pretty sick looking.

While down in NC I entered my first car show. It was a lot of fun. I did not win anything but I also didn't care. Met some cool people and got to learn how to be a contestant in a car show on a nice small scale. Maybe next time I can snag a trophy. I also took a bunch of P.O.V. movies with the car because the North Carolina roads are so nice, I had to share them with the folks on the Challenger Forumz. By the way, the show was at a church and the pastor had 2 early 90's Camaro's entered in the show. North Carolina man, it's like Mars. So that is Dar/th there next to the yellow Buick and the 2 toned Monte Carlo. 

Back in the chair for another round with Eric at Inkspot. He is making my arm art come alive and really delivering on what I had originally had in mind. He is super easy to work with and because he has owned the facility for so long, really knows how to interpret what you are trying to convey into tattoo-able techniques that will come across on skin. I honestly couldn't be happier with the results and I am very relieved that I found someone with the talent to fix what I thought was an unfinished execution to my original design.
