Ironkowboy - Formations

Riding the Mackay Loop, up into the Sawtooth Range, 2009, with Kev, Steve, & Brett...and now it’s just Steve and I. Big Kev and Brett have passed the Veil...miss you, my brothers. Looking forward to being in Idaho again.

Concerns about the new guidelines

Well, this was originally supposed to be set up on the “Support” page, but somehow it made it back here, minus everything I typed. My question was, having had a jewelry repair post flagged NSFW - scroll down a bit at Formations so you can see my response to it - I wanted to know something: Is “Support” going to simply de-activate every blog that has had a flagged post? One other thing: I have tried to back up my blog since all this came about, and it doesn’t seem to want to do so; it has been “Backup Processing” for about 22 hours now…Seriously? I may have some NSFW things to say right here (OOooOOOooo! LOL) about it if I can’t get some feedback…

Yep.

Playing with sister Louie; kickin' it during take my dawg to work Friday. He will be 1 yo May 1st.

Old School. Hand wrought for GRV. Layered plate, stamped, shaped and soldered, sanded, restamped and polished.

About damned time.

About this time of year, out with these guys in central Idaho, years back... Good days. Ponyboy and I miss the shit out of you two... "Solid" Brett, and "Bone" Kev. GBNF

Eighteen Years

Left to right: Al Sr., Richard, JR, me...

Wasn't long after, Pa(Richard) passed the Veil(Vernal Equinox, 2000)...and, less than a year later, some worthless piece of human garbage put an end to my brother-in-law, JR, and Debbie, his lady. This day, 2001. To this day, the intensity of my hatred for the perp has not lessened. Thank the Gods for Karma; knowing that he, and I, always answer for our deeds, I put one foot in front of the other, and do my best to keep mine balanced. Seeing and feeling the pain this brought my family has not made it easy, but the pain I could have caused them by dealing with the mfs myself, and in the end not be there for any of them, gave me pause. I asked the Old Ones to give me a sign if I was to be allowed to bring retribution...18 years on, the answer remains, "No..." So Mote It Be.

Love you, J...
