Open Track Events

This weekend is the first major track event for the M3. It's a BMW Club Driving School held at the track in Pueblo, CO. This will primarily be a shake-down for the car to make sure everything works and nothing falls off.

If all goes well I'm planning to make the trip to Salt Lake City and Miller Motorsport Park on June 13-15 for a three-day NASA event. SLC is over 8 hours away from Denver so it's a bit of a commitment. I wonder where I can rent a trailer locally?

More Tattoo thoughts

As I got closer to the appointment I realized that I wasn't ready to start another piece so I canceled. It was on Saturday so I had the whole weekend to think about it. Know what I decided?

I am ready to start on the other side.

Next Appt: June 7

Tattoo update

So, the tattoo is done. It's 99% healed now and looks really good.

I had a touch-up session a couple of weeks ago to add more Sumi Black to the background. This has created a shading effect in the black areas that wasn't there before. Joel is planning one more touch-up session to add red to the flames and white highlights and that's it.

The question now is: What's next?

I had planned to move right on the to other side adding Koi and Maple leaves -- in fact I have an appointment next Sunday to get started. However, now I'm having second thoughts. Not about the tattoo but about the timing. Maybe I'll wait until fall.
