reflecting on a tiring week...

today was a little like the whole last week encapsulated in a single day. lots of hard work, frustration, inspiration, wasted effort, and a little bit of hard earned success, all came together and collided. rather than ramble on about the details of my mundane trials and tribulations, i thought i'd put up a couple images from this weekend that sum up where my head's been at. after talking to everybody this weekend, to get the votes and just check in, it sounds like i'm not the only one feeling this whole high contrast humor and headache combo vibe.


here's something that i always have a hard time taking seriously because it's too actually accurate and useful for comfort. one of those things that can be a great tool, but only if i'm willing to really put it in practice:










this next one is from the guy running the 'cycle shack' back home in the twin cities, mn, metro area. whether it's personally his or not is somewhat irrelevant, because i think all of us (married, kids, relationship, or single) on here can relate to the general sentiment and headache that must have prompted this little love note:










at least something went as well as i hoped today. it's deceptively hard to get a good picture of a mirror, without just getting an image of the camera's reflection instead of the natural appearance of the mirror itself. i'm pretty happy with how rob and my mirrors turned out...i'm going to try something on a headlight next. zbmc members or friends hit me up if you want something similar etched for any glass piece on your chopper, or on a shot glass, or whatever you can think of...



ps__does anybody have a metal body, bottom mount rectangular headlight they want to trade for a 5 3/4 bates style headlight? kinda like the old 'caddy' style rectangular lights...i'd like to do hi/lo in a single light, but if you have a pair of single beam-ers maybe we can work something out.
