good luck with all else.

Posted by: DeadBolt

I know i know i know I've been going nuts over here but guys its the rut and I just dont have time to be on the comp when theres deer to be shot!

Posted by: DeadBolt

Hunted hard all day saturday in hopes I would get a birthday buck with my recurve (looking for the first traditional harvest) but sun up to sun down I saw ZERO deer!

A little discouraged I went home enjoyed the lords day with my family and decided I would give it one more shot before work monday morning.

I get up pack my gear and hit the woods and am in stand 1/2 before sunrise. I sat all morning and saw nothing so took a little power nap in stand LOL. When I awoke I saw movement behind a scrub oak 30 yards away. I stand get positioned not thinking anything of it just wanted to be ready. Here it comes oblivious I'm in the tree I wait pick my spot and draw. Then let down...BACK TENSION BACK TENSION BACK TENSION my little deamon was yelling at me...I draw again lock into my stance and rock solid I was. Hold for a good 45 seconds until there was the "perfect shot" and I let the spiritual arra fly!!!

This is what I found...

Well anyhoot as I awoke in the stand and rubbed my eyes I saw some movement behind the scrub oak. I stood and got ready not thinking it was anything other then a tree rat wich i intended on taking a pop shot at heh. Any hoot here comes this deer walking in quartering towards me. He comes in to 13 yards and grabs a corn cob on the ground and starts chewing on it. he makes his way in a circle and then turns broadside at 11 yards man what a mistake! I drew let down drew again and let that arrow sore! Perfect double lung with a magnus 140g 2016 w/ nana fletch out of my Bear Tigercat 43@28. Pass through and sent him runnin!!! He ran out circled back and did his final dance not 20 yards from my tree and my prayer was sent up as I always do when I take an animals life. Climbed down packed my gear and started the long haul out!

It didn't hit me until after the shot and I sat back down in my stand that I had finally done it!

Now some pictures...

Posted by: DeadBolt

Well now that I have this buck down and some meat in the freezer I can get back to a somewhat normal life and spend moe time sleeping then in the tree LOL.

I am on my way to go workout...Im working but we have a bowflex at the station so I'm gonna tool around on it for starters till I get more time. I wont be posting many workouts or anything b/c I dont know wtf I'm doing on this thing but I'll be sure to catch up on journals now!

Posted by: the other half

way cool. someday i will get my first harvest with my bow. but first i have to do alot of praticing. congrats to you. sometimes taking a nap is the best way to find deer, just because u dont make any noise and dont move.(refernce look at katts pic of her scouting for elk on her journal)

great to have u back

now its my turn, i have the next 8 or 9 days off for hunting-right in the middle of the rut-gotta love it.

Posted by: PreMier

beautiful shot, and buck

Posted by: b_reed23

Glad to hear your shooting straight and with open sights non the less damn fine work sweety! I just put a new scope on y new shotgun remington 870 w/ synthetic stock and threw a basic 3x9 on there. got it dialed in to 40 from bore sighting but need to fine tune her out to 100 now...that gun kicks like a fucking mule though! Those mags w/ a heavy sabot or nasty can't wait to pumble a deer LOL

Cable "DB" Row
Standing BB Milt Press
DB Side Lateral
Abz

Posted by: PreMier

you sore?

Posted by: DeadBolt

Chest was a lil sore the other day but I actua;lly feel nothing in back/delts today kinda pissed LOL. I purposly didn't go balls to the wall but I built up a nice lil sweat and amd shocked I dont feel anything.

I have to go checkout some gyms around my new house...there are a few within 5 miles this bowflex shit just isn't cuttin it for me. I love working out but its not enjoyable for me to do it on this thing. And we only have some really shitty free weights that wont hold up to any real abuse.

Posted by: DeadBolt

I've been trying to drop some lbs lately and getting my diet back in check andman i remembered why its so hard withthis job always on the road! Some days i have all day to eat others I'm lucky if I have time to breath.

I dont have a scale anymore since I moved but I think I have lost some weight...I've gone down in a work shirt size and my pants are getting very loose so I'm assuming I've lost some weight.

Todays diet was horrible!

M1- bannana and nutrigrain bar
M2- wheat chicken wrap, cucumbers, lettuce, black olives, red peppers, ranch dressing (1tbsp), 1 chicken leg/thigh
M3- chicken ceasar salad
M4- cottage cheese double, cup healthy choice chicken noodle soup

And a half gallon crystal light

I have been cutting back on some carbs and increasing my proteins b/c I have reversed things a bit but its getting better. I have also increased my frequency of eating again as well as reduced the size of the meals. Its funny how your body remembers what it loves and is capable of adjusting rather fast...can't wait ti be back in the swing of things ahain!

Posted by: katt

Looks like you're making headway back !!!

That doesn't look like alot of food for the day though.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Im not sure on the total cals and i figured a few of em were a bit higher so i opted to just eat a bit less then over eat like an ahole LOL.

I worked a 36 hour shift straight through and i ate so far...

m1- turkey, egg, cheese on a WW bagel
m2- roughly 8oz roasted lam (w/ gravey) 1 cup colliflower (sp?)
m3- 1 buffalo wing, large cup of coffee I know not a meal but its what i ate before heading home back at base so i counted it.

Posted by: the other half

damm good thing that u are going into a different hunting season, with food intake like that u arent going to be able to draw your bow back

Posted by: DeadBolt

LOL yea its gun season soon so I wont have to draw anything just pull the trigger LMAO!

Posted by: b_reed23

that chicken wrap sounds yummy!

Posted by: DeadBolt

it was awsome LOL!

Posted by: boilermaker

Hey Bolt! long time, no type. good to see you still here

Posted by: DeadBolt

holy shit boiler how the hell are ya??? haven't heard from you in ages!

hows things been man?

Posted by: DeadBolt

Well went out saturday night for a late birthday get together with some people from work. We all had dinner together and a few drinks (OK alot of drinks!) then me and my partner from work went into NYC and hit up coyote ugly and scruffy duffys 2 famous bar/pubs. I had a friggin blast! Got home around 6am to the sun coming up and crashed at his place.

We got pretty hammered, first time I've drank in almost a year considering I didn't really drink at the firemans convention so I went out and blew off some steam. Saturday night was much needed considering all the shit that has gone south in the past month with so many chanes and eveything. So relaxed all day and didn't do a damn thing also needed with working so much. So tomorrow will be a fresh day back to the diet and back to my normal schedual!

But first thing I have to do is find my phone...lost it when I went hunting saturday morning and if I dont find it I'm screwed!!!!!! I wont ever be able to replace those numbers!!!

Posted by: DeadBolt

found the phone LOL thank god!!!

Posted by: katt

Thank goodness you found your phone!!! Those coyote ugly bars are pretty darn fun, aren't they???

Posted by: b_reed23

hiya DB!! have you ever made chicken/turkey jerky?? do I have to cook it first?? I am worried about the salmonella....what do you think?

Posted by: katt

Hey B - I don't think you would have to cook it... I mean making it in the over/dehydrater cooks it, doesn't it????

That's the only way I've made it.

Posted by: DeadBolt

katt yea it was pretty fun ihad a BLAST!

b i dont think you need to cook it first you should be OK no worries.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Had a decent workout last night I was actually pretty happy with it.

Inchline Bench *4 sets
Low Cable Fly *3 sets
Pushups to failure *2 sets

BB Curls *3 sets
Reverse BB Curl SS w/ Hammer Curl *2 sets

CG Bench Press *3 sets
Kickbacks *2 sets

All the weights went up which was good and I'm starting to adjust to this jerky cable system w/ the bowflex.

Only problem I'm having is my partner...he says lets workout lets workout I want you to teach me. But he doesn't listen to anything I say and has this big macho thing like I can do all your weights. He is gonna hurt himself really bad I can see it already. Plus he doesn't want to sweat or keep a decent pace up so he is always stopping and when he stops its ussually for a cigarette. And all I hear is all I need are brunches and a bigger chest/arms. Oh my god its killing me! You want abs stop eating shit you anta bigger chest/arms go to staten island with the rest of the italian club poppers!

Posted by: the other half

db, did you get up on the bars and dance then leave your underware for them to hang up?

Brunches???? Brunches are just as good as death!!!

Face it D,,, he's an upper body man.....

Posted by: DeadBolt

Ok Dead - time to get it together!!

Not working out, lack of sleep, the stuff you've been through lately.... and you wonder why you're depressed??

It all happens for a reason,, if you need a vaca,,, you can head West and get some snowboarding in, that'll clear your mind

Nothing like going down a hill at break-neck speed and at that point of losing control

That's the way I do it anyway..

Posted by: b_reed23

take it one day at a time..that is all you can do to keep your sanity...you will have your good days and your bad days, but you just have to live for the moment

keep your head up....and we are here when you need us!

Hectic been real busy lately! Took 4 days and went to hunting camp to get aweay (mymini vacation) just needed to spend some time with my friends family and mother nature. Spend every waking moment I could in the woods and shot 5 deer all does.

Was at camp sat, sun, mon, tues and working 16 hours shift wens, thur, friday, hunting sat, winterizing the boat/butchering buddies deer sunday. Haven't gotten much sleep but I'm truckin like a champ LOL. Also found time to bucher 5 deer from wensday to now with my fathers help.

No workouts all this week just no time but next week I will try to get right back into it. Shoulder is still giving me alot of problems. But I will work it out like I always do and find away to work around it.

Also working on getting a seond job closer to home for some extra cash. I'll be pulling anywhere from 60-72 schedualed hours a week if things workout plus any overtime I can pick up. Hunting season is over in 2 months so its time to bust my ass for a few months to pay some bills off!

yea we had another one monday night go up to the 2nd floor i damn near passed out!

Posted by: DeadBolt

Heya all sorry been absent around here been really busy at work and just ALOT of shit has happened. Had a great gun season had some shitty days following and now work has just been miserable with this weather. mentally I'm much better things are getting easier.

Haven't worked out since the took all our equipment away at work bc they found out we took our uniform shirts off to workout. Fucking retarded if you ask me but thats what ya get when all your bosses are fags...they would rather have some sweaty dudes around em then clean ones. But I'm still eating really good and have been losing weight I can see changes but haven't weighted myself.

Had a real bad night at work kinda messed with my head. I was at the food mart getting a drink when my partner and I saw a young couple 20 years old just getting home from the bar smiling having a great time. As I walked back to my rig I walked passed em and said had a small conversation with em and introdfuced ourselves and what not and told them to drive safe the roads were really bad.

Well an hour later we get called out for a car crash and sure enough the girl dropped her boyfriend off and totaled her car and got pretty beat up. I saw a decapitation this week, a suicide, and a ton of car accidents and none of them bothered me but this one bothered me. I never see the patients before the accident but this one I knew not one hour in the past they were happy as could be without a care in the world. Now this poor gilr (yes she had been drinking) was really beat up, once we got her packaged and rushed to the hospital the cops showed and said she would be getting arrested for DUI and now her record is shot! In less then an hour her whole life has been flipped upside down and destroyed. It was just hard to see reality at its finest and we take for granted everything we have and we do stupid shit thinking it will never happen to us. Well I saw this girls life change before my eyes in one night she went from being ont opof the world to nearly dieing and her life ruined. Its a real eye opener and makes ya think ya know? This one hit in the heart and sorta shook me up a bit when i saw who it was...almost like getting a call to your own house. Its hard to deal with.

Posted by: Burner02

Hey DB!
I can't imagine having to respond to something on a 'personal' level.
Hope this doens't sound harsh, but this was a lesson to her. You have to fall down in order to learn how to get back up.
If she's a smart girl...she'll learn from this and not do it again.
She may be in pain...and now have to pay some heavy fines...but she's alive to do it. And thankfully, YOU were there to help her on the way to recovery.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Heya ya'll I got switched to a day shift today so I can't get to the gym to pay but wensday will be my first day back in.

I just wanted let ya'll know my father and I will be begining the process of opening up a health concious resturaunt in my area. I think it will really take off. Gonna gear towards all health concious aspects of living whole grains lean proteins EFA's etc etc the whole nine a nice vegitarian section and packed full of flavor! I think with my fathers culinary background and myself aswell as a few others interest in nutrition we can put together a decent place!

I was wondering if anyone has ever been to anything of that such before and if you could desribe the place, menu, atmosphere, and you opinion of the establishment!

Posted by: Burner02

good luck!
I would look for a location REL close to a major gym...high traffic area. Would u serve breaky, lunch or dinner? wihich?

We have a "natural" cafe here... I like it, but it's not really toward the "gym health concious"... it's really granolaish and more "natural" foods.. I think what your dad is doing is a GREAT idea and don't know why more people haven't done it!

If we had something like that here, where a person could go in without spending a ton of time figuring out the calorie content and breakdown.. heck,,, I'd be there all the time

Posted by: the other half

and since we dont have a place like that here, we just get pizza and dairy queen blizzards all the time. great way to bulk

Posted by: b_reed23

That's pretty fucked up. I'm betting that you have no recourse.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Well made a few phone calls to find out what happened. The owner relocated the gym a few blocks away as a temp gym for the next few months.

He as well as 2 other partners are currently opening up a new Golds Gym all BRAND SPANKIN NEW 40,000 sq feet with everything you could imagine a few miles away. It wont be open till june but I am going to go to the temp location tonight to see if my membership is still in the system so i can renew.

I was lookin forward to workin out today LOL...but looks like it will have to wait till after my 36 hour shift tomorrow.

Posted by: Pylon

Let me know when you get the place open. I'm planning to try to get to NYC for another Yankees game this summer. It'd be great to swing over and try the place!

Posted by: the other half

Eh its just another day in the office! No sleep stay up straight through normally. A little coffee and I'm on my way! As for sleeping after max 5 hours. Anything over 3 hours for me is rare. I can't sleep full nights I just take extended naps. My brain is trained with this job to sleep light and not sleep much. Every now and again though my body shuts down and I zonk out for 8-10 hours to recharge for the week. On average I sleep 1/3 of hat a normal person would.

and I always wonder why I'm injured...physically demanding job, crazy stress levels, no sleep...yea sounds like a bad brew to me LOL.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Well never went to look for the gym ended up working 45 hours straight with no sleep and the last 9 which iw asn't suppose to be there we got HUMPED! We were non stop and thats when the tiredness kicked in and I still had a 2 hour ride home b/c of the rain. I opted to bail on finding the gym.

Monday i work a 24 so I will go try to find it sometime then and renew my membership. Went and got a new bag and packed all my shit up so now I will just need to grab my bag in order to go to the gym...no excuses!

Posted by: the other half

when i worked graveyard shift, i would only sleep 2 or 3 hours at a time twice a day. that about kills you later. now i fall asleep and if i wake up then i cant get back to sleep for a couple of hours. its getting better though.

good luck finding a gym. send pics of you new bag, i just dying to see it.

Tomorrow afternoon I'll be on the hunt for a new gym! And yes I have my bag all packed

Posted by: DeadBolt

FINALLY A WORKOUT!!!

Well went to several gyms before I settled on the only one with a shower. Its an OK gym but man was it PACKED! Just went light and trying to learen the new place. Today I explored the free weight section.

All rubber weights...nothing under 15lbs which sux so no shoulder thereapy today. I'll find something though. Sure feels strange working out in a new gym with all new faces. EWveryone was staring at me like who the fuck is this guy. I could care less though I keep my mouth shut and do what I have to do. Not much room for free bar moves like squats and deadlifts which blows ass but tomorrow morning im gonna try and get in there for some cardio and explore a little more.

1st workout in 3 months:

10 walk/warmup

Db Bench 50s*12*2
DB Row 60s*15*2
Pushdowns 50*15*2
BB Curls 50*10*2
DB Milt Press 30s*12*2
DB Side Laterals 15s*15*2

10m jog @ 65%MHR

I couldn't find any leg stuff I'm guessing it is where the rest of the machines are so no legs. I'll try to find it next time. The gym is weird they have some machines/cables and all free weights in one room then the other room is machines/cables. Strange setup but they have a TON of cardio gear which is good b/c its what I need. They also have a theatre cardio room where they play movies and stuff in a dark cardio room. And all cardio gear has a built in TV.

Thats all I had time to explore today had to shower real fast and get to work (where im at now

)

I'm not gonna complain about the weights b/c I purposly went extra light and I plan on doing that for a week or two just to get into the swing of things. Dont think I will be able to do my circuit work here there is just no room but I'm gonna try and find a dead time in the gym and maybe fit it in there.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Oh and there must not be a "no slamming weights" rule b/c these assholes were slamming them fuckiong rubber DBs all over the place. That shit is annoying if you can't handle the weight be a man and drop down or ask for a fucking spotter you homos!

Sorry first day back and I already have to vent!

Posted by: katt

nice to see you're finally back at it..

About the guys slamming the weights.. we have those too. It could be 20 lb db's or 50 lb's and at the end of their sets they just let them fall to the ground..... tards... You want to go over and choke their little necks sometimes...

Posted by: DeadBolt

tnx sweety!

Posted by: Pylon

I feel your pain, Bolt. Starting at the new gym this week. Lifting tomorrow. At least it's the Y that I've gone to before, so I know what to expect, but still...

Posted by: the other half

if you want to make friends, just go in and take up 3 machines and a couple of sets of db all at one time. you will have all sorts of people helping you learn the ropes of the new gym. and maybe they have rubber weights so that people dont put holes in the walls(we wont mention any names)

Posted by: b_reed23

forget putting holes in the walls...half our dumbells have chunks taken out of them...making you wonder if they are "even" or the right amount at all!!

at our gym half the shit is falling apart from neglect or people not taking care of stuff...

Posted by: DeadBolt

heya whats happening ya'll!

Yea we have rubber weights but the floors dont have the rubber mats so it doesn't help one bit.

I need to get fitted for new uniforms today (lost alot of weight the last 9 months) so after that i'll hit the gym then off to work.

That means i wont get in until its swamped again but tomorrow I should be able to get in before the rush gets there and really check it all out.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Also weighted myself...I'm at 176lbs. Thats after a carb up for the past week and a half so I'm guessing I would have been right around 172-173 prior to that. That means since I've stopped going to the gym I'm down nearly 20lbs. Fat and muscle yes but hey no biggy. I'll get it back.

Gonna try to get some pics taken we'll see when someone has a chance to take some. Right now my goal is recomp...just get back into the swing of things and get use to it all again. After those few weeks it will be try to lean out as much as possible then a very very clean bulk.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Oh man I dont miss working legs!!! I have a 36 hour shift ahead of me and I'm not going to enjoy carrying patients up and down steps LOL.

Squats
135*20*4

Deadlifts

People think we are all heartless bastards who dont care...in a way yes but we have to be. We dont want to be that way but if we get attached to every patient we will never do our job properly. When emotion gets mixed in you lose sight of what needs to get done...you will never help anybody whe n your like that. You need to keep a kewl collected mind and if you are all frantic and trying to be superman you wont do anyone any good and will only hurt yourself in the end.

Though we seem like assholes alot LOL we didn't ask to be like that the job makes yout hat way. It sucks I know!

As for the DOMS. . . . SOB . . . . my legs were killin me all weekend!!! I opted to get some RR this weekend and not do a damn thing. Just slept the whole weekend away so far. Man I hope my legs are good to go for tomorrows workout.

My diet has been REALLY good lately and I'm proud of that! My metabolism has been kicked into overdrive and I am hungry all day long. Every time someone see's me I am eating something LOL. every 2 hours on the dot I start to hear my stomach rumble LOL

Posted by: Pylon

It's a tough gig, and I can see how it would change you. We all appreciate the work you do!

Well done on the diet. That's the toughest part. Enjoy the rest!

Posted by: DeadBolt

Thanks Py nice to hear some people appreciate it LOL.

Today I splurged with breakfast a bit...I was starving so I added a few more cals.

3 whole eggs, 1 slice cheese, 2oz venison, 3oz chx breast, 1 packet low sugar oatmeal (24 carbs)...total meal I'll put it right around 35 carbs. Thats the extent of my cheat breakfast LOL

Posted by: the other half

venison, you are a ruthless bastard. you killer you. you have no emotions or feelings.

Posted by: Pylon

That's not true. He does have emotions and feelings. For instance...

"I love eating this venison!"

and

"That venison made me feel full!"

Posted by: b_reed23

amen to the vension comment Py!!!

Posted by: DeadBolt

LMAO you guys are tooooo much!

Does it make it worse I ate so much venison that night i damn near yaked! MMMmMMmMmm backstraps baby!!!

Had a good workout today did back/tri's. Felt nice to hit the muscles a bit sure I'm gonnabe sore but it was worth it.

Cardio 20 minutes intervals 2min run (90%MHR) 2min walk (65%MHR)

Stretching

I guess with all the lifting and moving of stretchers at work my deadlifts have held up somewhat. My back or grip never once gave out it was actually my legs. I only use to do rack deads b/c of my knee problem but thats not an option here so off the ground is all I can do. Surprised the back and grip were so solid the entire time. I honestly felt like I could have pulled atleast 315*1.

Posted by: Pylon

That reminds me, I still have some ground venison in the freezer. Might be chili time...

Posted by: katt

Nice deadlifts!

Backstraps? mmmmmmmm.... I think we still have some elk backstraps in the freezer..

Going with a few friends to get away and hit up the beach for a few days and get together with my best friend who moved there back in august so it should be a good time! Plus its right around spring break time

Posted by: DeadBolt

Ahahahahahah just found something amusing.

Broke up with my ex a while ago and what not and she said nothing but you can trust me nothing is going on yada yada yada.

Found out some real dirt that shows what type of person she was...this whole time I'm thinking I'm the bad guy and what not. Naaaaaa she gets what she deserves. Low down dirty bitch. HAHAHA it makes me sooo happy and I hope she realizes the grass is never greener on the otherside...just a different fertilizer but down to the roots only one is the right one.

w00t can't wait for spring break 2008 in florida!!! this soooo makes everything better and I'm gonna enjoy my summer that much more now!!

Yea I can't wait for break...its gonne be phenominal. I haven't been on a vacation in like 4 years...most b/c all my ex ever did was nag that we have to go on one and I never had time or the $$ but now that i dont waste any $$ on her i have some extra cash to go away with some friends and have some fun!

I ended up just giving it to my buddy...he was more excited with it heh.

Well I was sitting on the ground when he walked by me at about 3 yards and when I got to full draw with my recurve he bolted like a SOB 16 yards later he stopped and my 575g cedar arrow tipped w/ a 165g snuffer went barreling down and nailed em. 19 yard shot on a tiny target I was proud LOL.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Well after a long week of work i went hunting yesterday (see above for story LOL) then went out to one of the biggests sportsmens dinner in NJ....its a fundraiser for the organizations. I go every year with a great group of guys/gals and we have a blast.

Been doing really good on the diet I'm down to 173.8 now thats another 2lbs lost so i figured fuck it I'm having a few beers. My food consumption was great all day so i treated myself to some drinks kicked back and relaxed the night away. Well 11 beers later no buzz I figured matters well stop trying to get drunk b/c apparently its not happening LOL.

Went home and zonked out after a long ass day...got some much needed sleep now its off to do hows work and what not.

Gym tomorrow before work...back/tri's again. I'm real hesitent on doing legs being that just running keeps them pretty sore. But its now been 2 weeks I've done 20-30 minutes treadmill everyday since I've been back so I think this coming week I will try some really light leg work at the end of ther weeks I dont hurt myself at work.

Posted by: b_reed23

gotta work them leg muscles!!

Posted by: katt

ok DB - 11 beers and no buzz.?????

I guess it just wasn't meant to be.. lol.

Posted by: Big G

I know what you mean about working legs along with all the running. I've been cutting for the past few weeks but have maintained 2x weekly Full-Body workouts (incl. two leg exercises, both days). It's been hard on my feet and knees. I've had to row more than I intended due to my knees being so shot. The last time I did split squats I was honestly worried.. felt like my knees would just snap. Cardio can be hard on the joints, no doubt. I skipped dreadlifts (Oops - Freudian slip) last week for that very reason.

Well I need deadlifts in my workout thats my main move at work. And I wish I had a job I could afford to be sore and stiff all day b/c then I could care less. But in my line of work not only do I put the patient at risk I also run the risk of injuring my partner on the job and that just aint right. In due time I will take it slow and they will get back to being able to train regularly again.

Hope your legs hang in there bud I'm putting my leg workout at the end of the week this week so I have the weekend to re-coup....even though I'm gioing hiking sunday for a few miles. LOL that should be fun.

Every spare chance I get these next 2 weeks i'll be in the kitchen! I may not get on here much but I will still get a few days in the gym while I'm up north with my ol man but they will be short and intense to maximize the time I get in the kitchen.

Was thinking alot lately about the tattoo I was going to get. Being i was with the fire dept I was going to get the firemans saint. Buuuuut being that I left the fire house not sure I want that inked on my body just yet...not until I go back there.

Until then I wanted a tattoo and have been contemplating what to get. I was going to go with tribal but everyone has that and kept thinking of a bunch of things but have drawn a blank until the other day. I was thinking of getting my lizard tat on my left shoulder. Here are some pics of what the leopard gecko looks like. She is very similar I have a few very crappy pics but Iw ill get some quality ones of her now that I setup the new tank for her.

So what do ya'll think of that as a tattoo? I have a few ideas of where i want it and how its positioned but if I ever find a decent artist I will talk to them and see what their opinion is on the placement.

Either want it crawling down my left arm from shoulder to elbow with like the tail coming up the neck just slightly

Or on my back left side with on of two positions the head on my anterior delt with the body draping over my shoulder/trap across my back like its resting on my shoulder almost or with the tail over my front shoulder/left neck coming donw my back at an angle and having its head cocked sideways to really emphesize on them knarly eyes they have like in the 4th 5th or 6th picture.

And I know everyone says a tattoo needs to mean something.

Well thats when I tried to shy away from garbage stuff that everyone has...ie tribal or dragons or coy fish and all that stuff. I figured this lizard was given to my when I was in some ruff times and I have changed as a person. When I broke up with my Ex I had no one yea I had family and ssome friends but I was so distant from them it wasn't even funny. My brother bought me this lizard for my birthday and I fell in love with her right away. She is my pride and joy now and I love coming home to her as she runs to the edge of the tank to greet me. It just marks a period in my life where I have grown so much and moved on with my old foolish ways and have embarked on a path of bettering myself. Thats why I could see tatto'ing her on my skin and not regreting it down the road.

What do you guys and gals think though? I can't be walking around and people thinking I'm gay and all for having a lizard on my back LOL.

...or you could go with a fire salamander, and kind of capture both things.

Or do your pet with flames maybe?

Sounds like a nice idea. I would give a lot of thought to the size. Not only will it get pricey fast, but I've always felt a tat is best if it can be easily covered if needed. Mine is up on my arm so it is covered even by short sleeves.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Well if I put it on my back as long as i wear a shirt it can be covered.

Posted by: Pylon

Yeah, but the tail on the neck would be harder to cover. Just something to think about.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Yea if I were to do the neck it would be like jsut over my trap and then to the collar bone like at the base of my neck where if I wear a polo shift 100% of it would be covered asnd a T shirt only a smidge would be showing.

Well had a good time this weekend...was very busy!

Saturday night a bunch of my friends and I went out to see that movie Jumper and got a few drinks. Had a blast and a TON of laughs! Sunday morning with a nasty hangover

I had the first 3D shoot of the year to practice for my tournaments later in the season. I shot really well I was pleased!

Also got to BS with the guys on the range for a few hours whom I haven't seen in months! Then it was all about buisness after that!

Spend 8 hours straight driving for the most part picking up a few hundred pounds of venison and some prizes for my charity dinner. Then it was home and load a few more hundred pounds into my truck and a whole bunch of crap to bring to the dinning hall!

From there I started making a European mount for a buddy of mine of a coyote. He shot it this december and we are giving him and his family a speach and a plaque (SP?) at the dinner so this skull is going to be attached to the plaque. But what normally takes weeks or months to do I am forced to do in one night

been doing it for 6 hours now and am in the final stages of whitening it. God I need some sleep.

The only reason I have to do it all tonight is b/c tomorrow I leave for work and I'm pulling 6 straight shifts plus cooking and prepping for the dinner in between shifts so I wont be home till friday night. So EVERYTHING needs to get in order!

As for the gym I was suppose to go tomorrow afternoon before work but being that I'm up so damn late I dont know if I will have time to get in there if i want a few hours of sleep! I will try to get a few sessions in this week but with this dinner man its going to be tuff!

Ya know you would think God would make my life a bit easier this week being that all the $$$ goes to charity but no he likes to test me

well the skull just came out of the bleaching solution but it needs to dry overnight so looks like ill be adding the glue and assembling it tomorrow...we'll see how long that takes.

That's going to be some super fast work for that mount!! Looks like you have your plate jam packed for the next week, huh?

Posted by: DeadBolt

Yea its a pretty hellish week! I'm finishing up the mount now. Its only my father and I for the most part catering a party of 300 by ourselves and then my brother will come sell tickets the day of. But we have butchered 23 deer, cleaned and vacuumed packed em all. Now we will gring cut chop mince EVERYTHING all oursdelves cook everything up do all the shopping this week and get everything on the buffet by 6pm friday LOL.

We have also got a ton of prizes donated and all kinds of stuff is going on. Should be a great night but i can't wait for it to be over I'm POOPED!

AND I had the biggest scare of my life. I went BLIND for like 15 minutes yesterday. As I was pouring the peroxide bleaching agent out of the pot I forgot the steam was harmfull and it got all in my eyes (like when you drain pasta) and before I knew it all I saw was white. It must have ruined my contacts b/c I couldn't even see my hands! I was freaking out I thought I was blind forever LOL....and the only thing running through my head...its 4am and I can't call 9i11 I am 911. I make fun of those people that do stupid crap at 4am and now suddenly I'm that stupid guy LOL.

OMG - I would have paniced as well!!

Everything is ok now?

Brother Bolt, I say if the tattoo thing is important to you, get it, doesn't matter what other people think!!! Hope all is well my Friend!!!

Posted by: DeadBolt

Tried my hand at my first ever euro mount. Wasn't to bad...learned a few things and next time it will be much easier once I get another skull to do. Had a good time doing it and I will def be trying other animals out.

Can't wait to try a deer next year...I'm going to save a few segments of the spine though so I can add it to the base of the skull.
