< 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

Saints & Sinners - INK!

The Southern Comfort ride was the catalyst for a "before" tattoo, where Sean Bajek artfully inked in a background that added an entirely new dimension to my vintage Caroll Nightingale Eagle tattoo c. 1970. And Sean also did the commemorative custom Southern Comfort tattoo when I got back...He's a great artist.

And ya know, I'd been hankering for another tat on my arm.....the lower arm, which was actually a tough decision....This one was gonna be out there on display, both at the office and elsewhere, so I had to find a idea that wouldn't cause the office folks to go into convulsions. Obviously FTW or Harley-FUCKING-Davidson wasn't going to go over well on Wall Street! (But it might have been fun to watch the reactions..LOL)

So I finally settled in on my Tribal/Oriental Dragon design.....Here's the results, and here's Sean. Catch up with him at Saints and Sinners in Fells Point, Baltimore, Maryland.

Finished product...One cool dragon, or at least I think so. But now there's a dilemma. I have an issue with balance and symmetry. So maybe, just maybe, a custom Harley Davidson tattoo on the other arm. And no, not Harley-FUCKING-Davidson......I don't think.

If you are going to put a bike on your arm I vote for your Old Panhead Chopper. That bike is a classic.

Thanks! Wish I still had that one in the garage, but having it on my arm sounds like a damn good idea!

!! 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.
