Holly Jolly Shapeshift, To You!

I am an older fella. Not ashamed to cry, at all. Some of my dearest brothers and sisters have referred to me as "The Sensitive Biker", and we all have a good laugh, because it's true. There is a time when I am crying, that being on the wrong side of me might be a bad thing: I have been known to cry while infuriated...and those who've known me a long time have seen it. And yes, I am pleasd to be able to feel that intensely. There was a time when I had no feelings at all, except rage, and I bottled that shit down deep. Over 33 years ago I made some changes in my life, found and healed that guy inside, and allowed myself to let it out in healthy fashion, whether in laughing or crying, or simply letting myself love life as it is. Have a great day!

Yeah, definitely yeah 👻

Fenris, the day she came home last year, via my Loki and our Monster. Just shy of 8 weeks old. My, how she has grown!

Several weeks ago, the little lady above - Louie - wanted to beat the brindle right off of new kid JB(formally known as Jayne Beans). As of yesterday, there was playing and chasing going on in the yard, and Louie only corrected him once, when he playfully jumped on her head; she didn't bite, but he immediately sat down in front of her. Progress is being made! He has also gained 6 lbs since being rescued.

Flatwork nearly complete. Shell and stone inlay on the way.

Regarding a post I just saw: yes, there are lowlifes who will take advantage of vulnerable newcomers in 12 Step fellowships. Myself, and brothers in my homegroup, will absolutely give a mf cause to regret his actions if we get wind of it. I will not drive somebody out of the meetings, but he'll damned sure have "hot stove" syndrome about 13 stepping after I get done with him. I despise 13 steppers. Recovery is far too precious, and early on, precarious, for me and my circle to allow predators to f it up for somebody. I have seen too many leave and not return. Zero tolerance!

Yep.

25th anniversary gift for my Loki

Horseshoe Mesa, from Grandview Point. I've backpacked and camped there many times. There is also at least one cave system in the mesa, called Cave of the Domes. A cathedral unlike anything made by humanity...
