Hoops Tattoo and Piercing

What I’m really saying is that I’ll be out of the shop this coming Friday and Saturday for my semi-annual pilgrimage to the Portland International Raceway for the largest gathering of British cars, trucks, and motorcycles in the world.

Apologies to anyone who came by the shop yesterday, Aug 11. While in Portland the electric water pump on the BMW failed. Had it towed to BMW of Portland where they quoted almost $4400 to replace. 😱
It came home yesterday behind a U-Haul. What a mess.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. The art of art is knowing when to stop.

Other than when I came home from Zihuatanejo, MX with Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever I have never been this sick. I’ve been running a fever of 101+ for five days now. I have to constantly hydrate because I’m pouring sweat from every pore. I’m beginning to wonder if this isn’t the universe’s way of reuniting Amber and I. I swear I could close my eyes and not wake up and you wouldn’t get any complaints from me. I’m not a p***y about being sick, but this is over the flipping top. If this is Covid, I never want it again.
