< Southern Comfort - Cowboy's Journal >

A journal about things I do and places I go. Southern Comfort was originally about my 2010 motorcycle trip through the south, in search of a little Southern-style peace of mind. Over time, the blog evolved into a biker-related journal, with stories about my experiences with people, places, and things! If you want to see what I'm up to, Welcome! Start anywhere, but to ride along on the 2010 Southern Comfort trip, it's best to start at the beginning. Thanks for visiting, and enjoy. Ken, aka Cowboy

Men's Room Art.....Daytona Beach

I'm haven't gone door-to-door to discover the extent of this "art form" , but as I told you folks the other day, I was a little surprised to see the nifty, almost tattoo-quality artwork that's airbrushed onto the Men's Room walls in a couple of the notable biker bars on Main Street in Daytona Beach.

And I also don't know if the art-y work exists in the Ladies Rooms, but I'll recruit a scout and report my findings, and maybe even some pix!

So all that said, here's a group of pix I snapped in Boot Hill Saloon, Froggy's, and The Pig Stand (more pix/bars may be added). There is one....the Christmas Wreath...that was airbrushed on the front door of Boot Hill, so it's not technically in the Bathroom Art collection, but close enough to be included....

Boot Hill Saloon

Froggys

Pig Stand BBQ, Ormand Beach

Iron Horse Saloon, Ormond Beach

Traditional MR "Art"

And a PS: Getting these photos involves a lot of "pucker factor". I just timed my entrances carefully, hoping like hell no one saw me heading into the bathroom with a camera at the ready. That wouldn't be good in any establishment, and falls into the "real bad" when the establishment is a biker bar. And no, I was just not willing to risk a peek into the Ladies Room. That's begging for trouble. How could I possibly explain that to some big biker dude who's Old Lady is in there? I sure know what MY reaction would be, and it wouldn't be a friendly discussion.......

PPS I got caught taking the Pig Stand pix. Some guy came in as I was framing the shot, so I just said I wanted to send the Pork Kings pic to some friends. He just looked at me funny but didn't respond. I can only imagine what story he's telling his friends.

Enjoy

!! MISSING SC PHOTOS !!

A few (as of 9/23/2012) of the approximately 139 Southern Comfort posts are still missing pictures due to a change in Blogger that I didn't anticipate. I keep working on them, and I'm getting there, but there were a total of about 60 that lost the pix, and this really turned out to be time consuming. Each frickin' picture had to be found on my hard drive and republished into the post. Alas, some posts were just deleted; I had no idea where the pix were.

I've re-published many of the recent posts, and lately, I started back at the beginning, working forward. One of these days, I'll meet in the middle and be done with it. So yes, there are pictures missing, and no, it's not anything to do with your web browser.

Content / Article Searches

Southern Comfort has outgrown any imaginable proportions, now including posts and articles of all kinds, now dating back a couple years. If you're looking for anything in particular not viewable on the home page, use the search widget in the upper left-hand corner of the Blog in the menu bar. Enter a keyword or phrase and see what comes up.

For example, type in "Pitbull Lift", run the search, and you'll find all posts that mention Pitbull Lift. Then you can use the CTRL F function to run a page search to find where the search keywords appear.

High-Resolution Copies of Photos

I was recently asked if I had high-resolution copies of photos in this blog or from the Snapfish links in the right hand frame of this webpage. Except for a few that I shamelessly stole from others' Facebook pages, I have many of the newer (say mid-2010 forward) pix in hi-res format. The file size is typically 2-3MB, and some are even larger, up to 10mb. Files of that size are great for enlargements, wallpaper, or whatever, and even zoomed, the detail is good.

If you want one, or a bunch, I'll try to help out. Send me an email and a thumbnail of the photo you want. Keep in mind I can only send a few of those large files in a single email, and sending several emails with large attachments might fill up your email box.
