Well John Lee, I read your response. To be frank, it is very confusing. Air Force basic was a nightmare. The rest that you wrote was interesting to say the least.

Nope not on the bicep, on my inner forearm! It looks like crapola right now as you can imagine. It is 48 hours old and starting to scab. It will be hopefully only a couple of weeks until it is completely healed.

You love my biceps? :) Why thanks doll. I was hoping you liked something else.... anyway..........

I was thinking about putting one of those tribal bands between my deltoid and bicep, we will see. For right now I do have an Eagle on my left deltoid that I had redone about 10 years ago. It does not look like an Eagle anymore!

Talk to you soon,

Norm

Thanks for you long comment and birthday well wishes steelersfan. Thank you for your service in the Marine Corps! 73 was before my time but one hell of a year I hear.

Sorry to hear about what happened to your son. I will write an article soon addressing the stuff that you requested! It sure sounds like a shit sandwich to me!

The tattoo went well although it is very tender still, swollen and red around the area where I was inked. When it heals I will post some pictures.

Take care for now,

Norm

Thanks for your kind birthday wishes Sandie! I will no doubt check out the book you recommended. As far as beefing up, you are right :) I cannot squeeze my left bicep into my fatigue shirt. Hell I was still a boy when the picture was taken. I grew another 2 or 3 inches afterwards!

Happy 45th, dude. And keep up the writing. Your ramblings always confirm my long-held suspicion that us lawyers on black Electra Glides are the cream of the crop.

Happy Birthday Norm!! Best wishes for happiness and good health. Great article. I found your article good and it did not ramble. I know that you are a reader. Pick up this book “FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN” the author is Mitch Albom. I am sure you will thank me for recommending you read it. It is not a long book and a quick read. I can guarantee it is worth reading. My friend you have certainly “beefed” up since the air force. Looking mighty fine.

New to your site....Great article. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY", mine was back on the 2nd. 52, jeez where the hell do the days go. I remember my initiation into the glorious world of the Marine Corps back in '73. Wouldn't change it for the world.

While this may not fit in this particular post just thought I would pass on some information for those that have the displeasure of riding in the delightful(yeah anyway) city of Baldwin Park. As with several other localities they are targeting the sports bike riders as well. Before anyone jumps the gun I realize as with the cruisers there are the few that screw it up for all of us(electra glide myself).

My son fell victim to some shakey at best probable cause on a traffic stop. He was sitting on his bike letting the choke warm it up, brain bucket propped up on his head when the officers pulled in front of him and wanted to know who he was trying to impress. I spent a few yrs in LE and my gawd we did some dumb stuff but this one bested me by a long shot.

Anyway, with that they complained about his blue windscreen, blah, blah. His damn stupid fault he had just let a friends house after having a few beers. Please understand I don't condone or tolerate drinking and driving. He gave us the ghost got hooked, booked, and shipped to county. His bad, he knows it, and admits his shall we say lapse in judgement.

Norm if you could please pass along some info to your site regarding FST's, PAS, and the mandatory chemical tests during bookings. I know 'em but not being an atty. it would probably be best coming from you. My biggest reason is when my son got to the station the was told he HAD to take the blood, mind you he requested the breath several times, ultimately he was offered to be shot with the Tazer and pinned down for a forced blood test.
He relented and gave up the blood.

During the course of 2 days I saw at minimum 4 traffic stops involving sports bikes. When we pulled out his bike on Saturday last they were apprx. 8 - 10 sitting in the yard missing the open road.

Without getting long winded and boring again, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY", how did the the new ink turn out, maybe you can post a pic and share with us.

And here I thought you were so sick, bed ridden, too sick to practice law because your
your heart…what a load of crap. Helping people, you must be kidding. You threw me
under the bus. Glad I made a copy of this.
