Okay...so a wild fire ripped through my farm and pretty much destroyed everything except(thankfully) the main houses.
Two days later..my dog was attacked by a wild Serval cat...thankfully he survived(but my credit card didn't)
1 Day later my main waste water drain blocked up......and is still blocked up....
2 days later...i find out that the fire has damaged my water well...so we have NO water...

wow....and kudos for still keeping perspective and finding the positives. a healthy family can mean so much more.

now only if the people responsible for setting the fire could be found and appropriately dealt with.

Good luck getting things going again. I hope you clear larger areas for fire prevention when you rebuild.

What a day !

It started off great chatting to some good friends in Geezer chat, and then very quickly spiraled out of control.

I met my client at the studio at 11:00 AM to do a + - 3 hour Tattoo.
An hour into Tattooing,i received a phone call that my farm was on fire.

Apparently some local poachers decided that the grass was...

Damn Bro!
at least he chose someone he can trust, ... and you can make some extra cash.

see you soon!

that DOES sound thrilling, it's amazing how small most people want to go with a tattoo.
either make it larger and more detailed, or get something simple.
the amount of tattoos I've seen that are too small, ultra-cheesy or badly done just makes me want to cry. Where is the art in that?? I'm sure you have more experience in this than me, I'm just an ink addict. tongue
just felt like having a rant.

I have been away for a while.
Been busy burning firebreaks around my boundry fence as well as around each house.
Really tedious back breaking work.


On the home front.

We found out on Saturday that Mandy is pregnant again.
We are both very exited.
