Hey Apple Hire me…

So its the day of the launch of the iPhone 4S. Apple’s website is down for a while, upon being active on the web their site is cluttered with poorly edited images for their beautiful slider they use! 95% of the iPhone images they have are boxed in with an ugly white border instead of a clean transparent blend between background and current slide. If you guys are slacking with legit dudes over there, hit me up, I’m available.

Custom 883 pipes

Pretty stoked how these came out! It’s the first set of pipes I made for a buddy of mine. They will be painted and wrapped, unless he wants to keep em looking colorful! These pipes are for running mid controls. They are for a 883 sportster. I have to put the o2 bungs in next which is a breeze. But I had to take a test ride on em first!

Fishing with Mom and Dad

This weekend I took my mom and dad both fishing. We had s great time together. They got to see some good size reds tailing and a big black drum in the shallows too! We only caught rat reds and trout so that was a bummer but they both caught some trout. And they really had fun on the birds! It was one after another!

I love yall so much, reminded me of the times we use on the boats at the lake house!

Fishing with the Mayor of Freestone

So I finally got the Mayor of Freestone to go fishing with me! I’ve had the fishing boat for quite a few years and he never went out on it till now! We had a good time on the water. Right off the bat we did some sight casting in the grass beds and hooked up with a red. Then we went up river and went to the junk mans spot where he was anchored off in “catfish lagoon” I call it. And the we started trolling the banks and started hooking up! We caught 3 good slot reds! It was a lot of fun, can’t wait to do it some more together! Love you dad!

Hardinge HLV Lathe!!!

Dude I’m so pumped! I got my first lathe! It’s a Hardinge HLV tool room lathe that is perfect for all my Lil needs. It was highly recommended by a couple of machinist I know. Ever since I got around bike shops that were turning down heads and cylinders I was hooked. I don’t want to do that kind of work, but all kinds of other trick Lil parts. Knurling, parting of stuff and threading is what I’m into. I can make bungs and what not for my chasis fabrication. Super pumped about this deal. So from here on out we will see what I create from this bad mofo!

RIP Grand Pop

One helluva cool grand father of mine past away this morning Quay Bernard Miller went by QB and Buck. It’s a blessing that the lord took him before alzheimers took over completely. His last couple days he knew who his children were! He was loved by many and his wife Grand mother Teresa is still with us! My boy baby Cooper is prolly sitting in his lap looking upon us! We all love you grand pop rest in peace!

Leather tooling

Started messing around tooling leather for the first time for my seat. Its been a trade I’ve wanted to learn quite some time. I went to a guys saddle shop next to our ranch and he made all our saddles and stuff when I was a kid. And since then just wanted to learn it. So I bought some basic tools. I’m no artist when it comes to this but its cool. This is just where I stopped. Still have to finish it!
