HNT #58 - The Boys & the Bird

Hello! These are the Christmas 2009 fotos of my sons and me at my Tampa Bay MH Park. FINALLY, THEY BOTH CAME DOWN to visit! Over a 4-year absence for Ken and only the 2nd visit in 2 years for Rik. Of course, their mother didn't interfere this time by having her October ashes taken back by them to Texas over Xmas like last year for burial.


Above, on the left are Rich & Rik in front of Rik's "new" 100th Anniversary of Harley-Davidson Commemorative Ford F-150 Pickup (2003)! Beautiful pickup truck with all the trimmings! Now that he's got a decent job with the State of Florida (eligible due to completing his Bachelor's Degree in 2005), he can afford all the trimmings for the first time in his life as an adult on his own. It took awhile because State jobs don't come open often in Tallahassee -- but if he hadn't finished his BS degree, he'd NEVER have gotten an interview!



Imagine a Florida Gator who partied too much in Gainesville his freshman year so that he had to finish his education all on his own elsewhere (paying back government loans now) AND EVENTUALLY GRADUATE FROM FSU!! Still, on that one day a year when Gators & Noles battle in the football stadium, his primitive, reptilian sports-team brain comes to life & reverts him back to being a Gator. He's lucky cuz "MY school" (FSU) is rebuilding and UF has been winning this bitter state football rivalry, lately. He has won our "dinner-out" bet 2 or 3 years in a row.


On the right, Rich and Ken, the younger son of the same 2 parents, are standing behind Rik's truck just before Sunday goodbyes after Christmas. Ken was heading back to Orlando (only 2 hours away compared to 5 1/2 from "Tally" to continue HIS post-secondary school experience: the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute where he is having good success due to hard work and focus due to his enthusiasm and interest in this field of work! Only 13 months to go!



Ken has MORE tats than I do & here's a pic of us showing off our tats at WingHouse with my favorite "serving wench!" This was a special hug from her & I love it! MUAH, Girl!

A couple of weeks ago, my 1959 Ford Thunderbird original "Survivor" was in my car guy, Ted's, shop with him starting the restoration with the few safety items most essential for driving.
















The BRAKES were the most important to fix, and he replaced all components in the system including all new steel lines to each wheel as well as the engine compartment master cylinder. All engine hoses were replaced and the silver valve covers above were replaced with sand-blasted originals he found stored in the T-Bird's trunk. He repainted them blue as the voltage regulator above is to restore their original color, and I think it is an interesting note that the T-Bird's colors when restored are planned to be red, white, and blue (with an understated patriotic feeling.) Ted thought that would certainly be appropriate considering my father's and my full military careers in service to our country (and, I might add, considering my sons' & my Eagle Scout or near-Eagle Scout backgrounds.)

Ted has already done countless other things like completely hand-repacking new wheel bearings with new grease; also, like checking the engine's compression before he ever tried to start it to be sure the pressure indicated the piston chambers were still well lubricated, and it would not endanger the engine to start it up. Countless other little things I do not remember now, he listed having done as we discussed progress over the last 3 weeks. His previously unspecified charge for labor was very reasonable and generous when he finally determined what it was after encountering the work itself and finally knew the difficulty & length of time it took.

Of course, I am in no hurry to have this finished so Ted finds it convenient & to his advantage in restoring the T-Bird along with the major renovation of a country estate property he purchased recently and is completing by himself and the help of friends. That unspecified labor charge was the one thing I was leery of until now -- not wanting to have "bought a pig in a poke" in advance. His statement afterwards rang true that a regular auto shop would have charged 3 or 4 times as much for labor in such a restoration job. We have much more work to do but I am feeling much better about his labor charges, now. After he installs a new Lo-Jack anti-theft system, I could stop anytime for any reason because he has already put the car in a safe, operational condition. He is dying to get me to re-title it ASAP & get Florida tags so we can show it off even NOW at a weekly meeting of classic car owners in St. Petersburg!

HNT #57 - Girlie Tat mostly done now!

News #1. Latest Ink: Her legs, watch arm and pink border. She seemed like so much a part of me that we made "cuts" in my armpit where she appears to be coming out of my body! The little trail of white plasma bubbles behind her neck have disappeared now.

It's been awhile since this tat got started back in September-October. I've had 3 sessions getting ink added to my Gangsta Girlie and I want some clarification before further adjustments that may have been unclear during the last session! I really want the pink aura to be wider by 1/4 - 3/8 ". My artist is getting ready to do a big back piece of the Virgin of Guadalupe on someone else & I think he was inspired by those thoughts to put MY pink ink streaming out like in the Virgin piece. However, I want NOTHING on my body to remind me of my Tex-Mex-ex- with whom I drove through Mexico to visit the original Mexico City shrine to the Virgen de Guadalupe. So this will have to change, and a wider "aura" would do the job nicely.

News #2. Drastic new development in the life of my younger son whom I raised for 7 years all alone (ages 8 - 15) until his testosterone-fueled ADHD had him bail out on ME and go to his mommy's place so he could be spoiled rotten and show unwarranted disrespect for me with great defiance & rudeness. Be careful what you ask God for: I had thought my prayers were answered when I got him back to live with me so I could raise him well. Wonderful at first, but when ex- moved to town after 6 years, and he reached age-15, this son became the thankless , willful minion of one crazy she-Devil-consort of Satan. She's dead now but the damage she caused still lingers in all our lives in MY family! If I were to tell you what I call her in daily outrage at her uncalled-for BS, you would automatically take HER side thinking she couldn't have been THAT bad! HA! Easy for YOU to say!

That's the Bad & the Ugly -- Let me tell you about the GOOD development! Unbeknownst to me, this younger son re-examined an excellent Motorcycle Mechanics Institute program in Orlando and enrolled in classes beginning a 14-month course of study which will lead to his certification as a Harley-Davidson trained specialist (maybe more specialties if he extends his studies.) He has moved his living place from Tallahassee to Orlando in a very nice, upscale lodging facility which provides some maid care. He is studying as a fulltime student successfully at the only major campus east of the Mississippi in this field and is doing well fairly easily for the first time in his academic life!

I KNEW it would be just right for him 5 years ago because it is a subject he LOVES learning about, can relate to his own Harley-Davidson moto, and realizes this is his last chance at post-H.S. study which will actually enable him to support himself with well-paid work the rest of his life! He finally GETS it and his brain's nerve endings seem to have matured enough that he is able to focus and resist impulses now that he would not or could not at 15! Florida will always have good motorcycles to work on because it usually has good motorcycle weather! This is all not only GOOD news, this is GREAT news!!!

Now, everything important in my life would be happy if I could just find out the cell phone number of my real-life Gangsta-Girlie. We trade plenty of eMail, but sometimes I need to make text message contact with timely info important to HER & it ain't happening. This is either gonna get a whole lot better or a whole lot worse! LOL

News #3. SO... here are pics of a little silver jewelry that a friend loves to play with at our bar and I love to see another female friend borrow and make nicely erect (Freudian wish fulfillment for the former counselor in me). The same lady friend recommended I see the popular 2009

movie "Spread" with Ashton Kutcher & Anne Heche.

My reply to her asking if I liked it: "Yes... and NO! I must say that I understood the whole thing in 'SPREAD' totally -- being all a bunch of fucking gameplaying and you must know what I meant about NOT liking all the fucking, phony, manipulative, bullshit games they play in the movie with each other. I have NEVER BEEN ONE OF THOSE KINDS OF GUYS THO like Ashton Kutcher played, and I hate how when women get USED, they turn around and start USING GUYS with the same sort of BS games! It is both the result of and cause of mental problems!!

And it confirms what I've recognized for a longtime -- that BC (birth control) technology has turned American girls into a bunch of fuck-fiends as bad as guys ALWAYS WERE reported to have been. You may prefer to say 'hedonists' rather than 'fuck-fiends.' But as for me, I could easily have become an honest Catholic priest 'cuz I have upheld the celibacy rule a helluva lot better than the bad 5% of all priests who caused 99.9% of the recent scandal in the Church. Take it for what it's worth, these attitudes and behaviors cause big problems in today's world. And interesting & seductive as they are, the movies that glorify this also perpetuate it! Thankfully, this flick also exposes what Bullshit it really is and how it leaves phony lives very hollow afterwards. But for a parting shot, I leave you with this little idea, "It pays to advertise!" ~Bon appetit!

Iraqi Insight from Inside Iraq! (Unbiased view.)

This was forwarded to me from a West Point grad whose classmate met with a distinguished Iraqi IN Iraq a couple of weeks ago, and the grad originated this forward! Read on for a reminder & some insight:

From a classmate stationed in Iraq…

Subject: The Sweetest of All Gifts

Much has been made of the episode wherein an Iraqi news reporter threw a shoe at GW when he was over here late last year. Many saw it as the pivotal expression of his supposed folly. Two days ago, I was in Najaf, the most sacred of Shia holy places. I carried on a conversation with two men until late into the night. One of them is a professor at James Madison U in Virginia (he intends to invite me to speak there); the other is an Iraqi man whose entire family was massacred; who led large Iraqi forces in alliance with US forces against Saddam. He is incredibly articulate in English (and I don't mean "for a non-native speaker"); he is both a US and an Iraqi citizen, with amazing insights into this country. The professor asked him for his most illustrative example of changes in Iraq. Below is a paraphrased rendition of his comments:

"Last week, the man who threw his shoes at George W. Bush was set free from prison. Think of how mind-boggling that is. If he had done the same to Saddam, the dictator would have personally shot him on the spot. Instead, he was detained, went to trial, was sentenced to three years, and released after 1 year for good behavior because that is what the law requires! We are now a nation of laws.

"That is a tribute to George W. Bush. And, he gave us the sweetest of all gifts: freedom. That is why we love him over here. There was a time when we feared to say anything to anyone. No more. Now, we all speak out. That in a country that suffered for 50 years. We have come that distance in only six. Mind-boggling."



[RichardShhh adds: Now, if we can only cause the same kind of change in Afghanistan! Americans, you gotta learn patience--only New Yorkers operate on a New York minute!!! And, FYI, I have been a US military combatant under enemy fire in Vietnam, Laos, El Salvador, Honduras, and Grenada--Don't misunderstand my loyalties!]

HNT #56 - Quickie first look at New Ink on Girlie Tat in Progress

First Entry(Wednesday):
Later pic posting may be a little raggedy as I write this 8 hours before I go get new ink added tonight on my unfinished Gangsta Girlie tattoo. The first ink is completely healed and I may wait for a 3rd session later to finish her legs as they are quite painful down in my armpit.

Second Entry(Thursday):
OK, it's a day later, I have new ink (see pic), and I'm out of time to write but my tattooist will need a 3rd session to finish most of the new tat of my Gangsta Girlie. So I'll post this and run -- and say "Happy HNT as well as Halloween" to you all! Florida and Texas readers, this Saturday the WingHouse girls will be "Dressed to Impress" in what are usually very revealing & fancy costumes (not their regular WH uniforms) which show MUCH more of their beauty than their normal WH uniforms! (Get it?)

Did you know the WH Girls (including bartenders) make about 1/2 of the minimum wage from the company, and THEY COUNT ON UR TIP $$ to make a LIVING wage? Be sure to leave the Girls nice, generous tips -- they will need them to break even on what they have to spend for their Dress-Up Day costumes for you!

HNT #55 - New Gangsta Girlie Pic Tattoo

OK, Folks, I DID it! I got the first half of a very good tattoo done which looks amazingly similar to a girl I know! How did THAT happen? Go figure....
Ur first peek is inserted above and I plan to finish with the full, unfinished tatt showing all the way down to my (OWWW!!!) armpit at the end of this post. !Muy Delicado, Senyorita!

Now, in all honesty, I asked my tattoo artist to do his magic and turn the opaque, black bustier pic he's drawing from into a translucent, negligee-like bustier using our best (lusty) imaginations. I have never seen this in real life but I LIKE his imaginary artwork!! (He is internationally recognized and has dozens of trophies for his tattoo work.) And I think I am falling in love with my left arm! (I'll let you imagine a vulgar follow-on line to that cuz they're easy!) LOL

I have to wait about 2 weeks for this skin to heal over & seal before we add more skin perforations and newer ink to finish the tattoo. Mike Sizemore, the artist, has pics of a gorgeous, large piece he did of Jenna Jameson in a bikini, and he plans to use the same revolutionary techniques to portray similar beauty in MY gangsta girlie's tat skin tones. NO black outline around the body! Unfortunately, this will take longer & cost more money, but it will be uniquely beautiful! Since it will likely be my last tattoo ever, why not? As long as my AF retired pay still gets direct-deposited to the bank, I'll be able to cover it. My next post won't be for a couple of weeks as I'll be waiting to finish the tat & show you! However, I WILL continue to change the sexy little pics on the right of this blog.

Here's to YOU, Babe..... Love, Always & Forever! (Just like a tattoo...)

HNT #54 - My Current Sex Life!

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

HNT #53: The collection grows (& that's not ALL)!

Amorous Rocker, look what I have to show you here!!! I am still fixing up this wall-art-sculpture but she swore me to secrecy over whose shorts I got into. She must have liked how I did it tho, cuz u'll notice there's a red bra now inside the top!!! Ooo-la-la! Yet, things are not always as they seem...

For HNT tanning bed enthusiasts, I present Cock-in-a-Sock (almost sounds like "fast food," eh?:

HNT #52: Tanning Bed Pic & my home shrine to WingHouse Girls!

"Twitter" : I'm watching VH-1. Taylor Swift's video of "You Belong with Me" just flashed me back to my H.S. Class Prom I HAD to attend cuz I was the Class President but I went "Stag" (cuz my Dad never allowed me to learn to dance which forced me to become a near-Perpetual Virgin.) This STILL impacts my behavior and life today! Un-fucking-believable. (Old habits die hard -- good OR bad!)

____________________________________________________________________

Speaking HOPEFULLY, I just recalled that I got my #1 fave WH Girl to take her shirt off for me last night! Ha-ha, I'm leading you ON a little! She took it off alone in private and gave it to me afterwards to put on the wall of my new "home saloon" & entertainment parlor since it's a WingHouse Girl's uniform shirt, and I bought her a new one to replace it! When I get it stapled on the wall, I'll get a pic of it to post here! [Done.] I've decided to get her shorts off next! LOL

HNT #51: Night-Vision Version

Just a quickie for THIS week -- almost wasn't even that! Doesn't this one look like a pic taken with "night vision" technology? Got it done thru editing at http://www.picnik.com/ (all free and kept private).

.

I'd LOVE to see some sexy ladies thru night vision. This reminds me of something I was told when on AF active duty in Panama's Canal Zone area. A friend and an aircrew member wanted proof that our young pilot's "pure" girlfriend in Panama was fucking around when the pilot wasn't available-- apparently she was regularly horny AND trying to get a free ticket to the States (before Noriega lost power) with the first young officer she could snatch (having slept with a lot of other aircrew members that the pilot was totally unaware of.)

.

Another pilot with our aircraft's NVG's (night-vision goggles) was supposedly drunk and asleep in the room he shared with this girl's "date" one night that her boyfriend-pilot was away. The NVG pilot had a pillow over his head and the room was dark so as not to wake him and to provide the date and the girl more privacy when they returned. The guy with the NVG's furtively watched them fuck somewhat quietly for a couple of hours on the other side of the small room from the "sleeping" pilot. Everybody was happy as a clam THAT night!

.

But it fell to me as a "better" friend to the pilot than the witness to tell the bf what his girlfriend (actually, fiance') had done and that it HAD been seen directly (was not hearsay)! I have always been too quick to be a mature, responsible person & I accepted the responsibility to tell my young friend in the gentlest, but truest, way so that he would NOT be taken advantage of by an habitual liar.

.

That ruined MY friendship with that young pilot in the long run, and I suspect "to get even" in a twisted way of thinking he had, he might have even done the same thing with MY wife back in the States when I was away at Grad School! That was the wife I married to keep her from becoming the lying, unwed mother of my oldest son -- everything she ever said to me is now suspect but I should have stopped believing anything she said long before we got married! Hers were all BS stories aimed at getting her own way! (Oh, BTW, SHE was Central American Hispanic too!) NEVER before had I ever seen a person so selfishly twisted who could keep such a straight face through so many lies. If you are an honest man, in today's lying, civilian society, you are going to be taken advantage of! You shouldn't be so good and trusting cuz no one ELSE is, out here! Pity, that!

HNT #50 - Virgin Tanning Booth Experience

Well, I'm running a little late on the words to go with the tanning booth pic I drafted a couple days ago. This pic was just before my 2nd session two days after my FIRST session where I lost my virginity (read last post or 2). This was before my first STANDING tanning booth session which is only 10 minutes max -- 1/2 the time of a bed max -- cuz it's one powerful UV-ejaculating motherfucker! (90% of the tannees are mothers or pussies looking to get tan and become mothers!)

BTW, did I ever mention that I'm a motherfucker, too? I've only fucked mothers and virgins in my life (and one lying semi-virgin on her way to BECOMING a mother, lol.) Not sure which I prefer -- but, anymore, I'll flirt with ALL pretty women & trade feels & pics, too, but only tight semi-virgins need apply to hang around. And I've got one in mind for my next tattoo ;-)

HNT #49: Who's Blue? Me or U?

Lessee... Interesting color shift just by hitting the "Negative" filter. It's a quickie without firing up the camera otra vez. BUT, it IS a new pic!

BTW, I lost my virginity yesterday -- on a TANNING BED! What I mean is, I lost my "Tanning Bed virginity" for 15 minutes! Didn't hurt at all. Tomorrow, I'll go back and get it done in Standing Position for 10 more! (I don't think THIS position is in the Kama Sutra!)

.

I'm STILL a "Born-Again VIRGIN," NEVER FEAR! LOL! 15 years of virtual celibacy and counting! I advertise that as a challenge as much as is reasonable, but no under-35 girls seem unprejudiced about my extensive years of prior experience due to age! BTW, I WAS popular enough to get elected as my high school Class President -- I just had a mandatory job, no car, and no spare time thanks to my Dad's browbeating! Just as well, most of the girls I know now lost their virginity at 14 or younger (from what they tell me via the round-about way of saying, "I went on B.C. at 14!") If that's supposed to titillate, it's working -- but something's lost as much as something's gained by that!

.

I LOVE some 20-somethings, but I'm not sure I want to be the x-hundredth link in the chain coming out of their crotches. I DID get my proof from the Doc that I've been celibate (a Quest Diagnostics printout of last week's clean STD check for everything but Herpes.) They don't check for Herpes anymore cuz no one can tell now where it came from or which got it first, the mouth or the crotch?! Who's ever used a dental dam? In today's youngsters, who ever HEARD of a dental dam? LOL The modern fund of general knowledge is WAY too limited--ever see Jay Leno's "All-Stars?"
