Justin in Mesa might have a meter. He does. He has my old one. J

Awesome man! We have to get together soon to hang out. I am planning on being in El Paso this weekend. After that, I am unsure. J

I think some of the MECA guys have em. J

Any un-rounded corners of the box? Like where 2 boards meet? What about using ductape around the mounting area for the subs for more of a 'tight' seal? hows the bracing in the vehicle? deadener? J

An empty house sucks. J

Fuck Mondays!!!! J

Well about an hr from now starts cabbin it night. Dinner, drinks, then titties and drinks. All in all should be a good one. J

Agreed. J

Less than 48 hours........fml J

I'm hopeful. Its not all bad honestly. Just the bad far out weighs the good. One nice plus is working with the local Cabaret to get them a better public face. Been taking pics of a lot of the dancers. Some work very well with me.......others its like trying to get a 3 year old after 4 cans of Jolt to stay still. J

Congrats on such a successful trip Sean!! J

BTW your humi SHOULD be there tomorrow. J

Shit happens. It will either make my resolve to deal with bullshit that much more solid, or I'll break. J We are here for you J. Sorry to hear the bad news. For sure, if you want to grab some beers let me know. Honestly this weekend will be spent with the wife including Sunday night in Tucson. After that.........I seriously see a path of 'self destruction' coming. I tend to go on small boozin benders when shit gets too deep. I appreciate the support guys. It really means alot. Side note my old boxer (the white one in the pics of the DD9512) was put down last Friday. Poor guy lost his appetite and some bodily functions. His quick downward spiral and then all this was alot to take. He was my best friend for about 12 years. I wish I'd made it hope to be with him as he went to sleep. J Damn man I'm sorry, I can't even imagine what you are going through. I'm not too far away don't hesitate to give me a call. Thanks bro. I know I am sounding like a whiney little girl right now. I hate cryin about my problems when I know they are temporary and not so bad in the grand scheme of things. J

Yea.......When I left home back in 06 I couldn't take him with me due to my living in the barracks (no pets) then after getting married in May of 09 we talked and decided the move would be too much for him at his age. Last time I saw him was this past Thanksgiving and he seemed to be doing ok. I held that in for the most part too. He lived a damn good life and was my 'roll dog' when I got my licence. Damn near everywhere I went he rode along. J

Me too bro.........me too. But what makes you stronger is the scarification of the trials and tribulations you endure and come out of. J

Well the ball of shit continues. My CDR won't let me have time off. God forbid I adjust to her being gone without work stressing me the fuck out. J

Thanks Stefan. Honestly with a side project I am working on, staying busy shouldn't be so hard. At least for the first month or two. J

Wait, what? You stay behind, just like that? Are you staying in, or trying something new? She flies to Korea early Monday morning. I will go on leave (vacation) for about 22 days starting Friday. I'll go back to NY around the 2nd or 3rd, then fly back around the 10th. Then I go back to work on the 20th for a week of classes. The following week its back to real work. I was supposed to go with her, but since I am pending a Medical Evaluation Board (knee is messed up and they can't find anything to fix it) I have to stay here and finish it. SHOULD be done around Christmas. I'll stay here and look for work till she gets done with her year in Korea. Plus side this means more gym time (primarily machines and cables since free weights might be seen as strain on the knee) and more time to do random shit. Down sides tho, are far more numerous and outweigh the positives. But its not like she's deployed to bumble fuck trashcanistan with no internet or major worry of battle. Add in that its only one year and its not that bad.......Or maybe I am just lying to myself. J

How goes it guys? Jared like I said man the door is open if you need/want it. Me...........well wife fucked up the passenger side of my Tundra yesterday, and this morning we found our her 30 day deferment to Korea got denied. As of Monday when we left work, we were being told it was being approved. She leaves Monday for a year. J

Fuckin A..................guess its time to break down and buy it. And learn it. J

There ain't no drama like strip club drama, cause the strip club drama don't stop.......... J

This has been one LONG fuckin weekend. J

Since a good number of friends who work at or for a local club have seen and liked so many of my pictures they have me asked me to start taking pics of some of the people who work there, for their new website. That being said, I have always despised photoshop. I have always thought it gave the women a 'fake' look. Like they had been gang-banged by a sand monster since they were so grainy. Especially in high touch up areas (stomach, eye brows, cheeks) I'm looking for something that will give me the best editing abilities to remove fine lines, wrinkles, baby mama 'tiger stripes' (aka belly and tit stretch marks), and sharpen color on makeup. Has anyone used anything yet and if so what has worked best for them? I'd also like to crop and zoom without losing much if any of the definition of the person in the picture. I don't want the up close grainy look to them. It needs to be 'easy' as I am a Photoshop newbie. I do have watermark software so that this software doesn't NEED to do it, but if its there great. J
