running an old idea through my head again.. in my younger days i made a complete manacle set for myself. ankles, wrists, waist, collar. all with rings for interlocking chans.
ive always pondered making another complete set for a woman.
some possible things...
one of my original creations were copper hemmed over stainless steel covered with an acrylic coating. truly amazing piece of work i never really duplicated. i still have like 30 pre made stripes of this in basement that i could roll.. would have to be for the right woman since copper doesn't work with every type of person.
i was given almost 15 pounds of heavy gauge silver. some i rolled "used originally to make belt buckles" not sure how i would work this into a design unless i found silver hinges to weld onto it.
my regular stainless. the hardest to work with of course, and it has to be measured to the person... ive found the 2" width doesn't work as a generic measurement.
3/8" stainless steel i thing id have to reconfigure the hinge material since i normally used brass micro chain mail. would hold up on wrists and ankles but would look great ornamental.
i think if i did a woman's set id want to do upper arms as well.
just idle ideas running through my head. |

finished repairing the surfski, and what do i do.. bring down a recumbent bike someone needs reapaired.. ill never learn.. i noticed i have an xframe sitting up on a shelf in workshop. something i made long time ago. either im gonna have to find someone to give it to or spend some time taking all the eyerings off it, since its not something you want to put out on the curb... |
|
|
|
|
no matter how many times i go into work shop i cant haul enough stuff out of it.. i pulled out 2 more businesses i had.. polar fleece tug toys, and dog bisket supplies, only to yank down a surfski to repair that was given to me for my kayaking group. im still wondering when ill get around to cleaning out my collar supplies. i never know when someone wants to learn how to make a collar or wishes to make thier own. |
|
|
|
|
ok ive gotten rid of my vampire glove hardware, my spare t shirts, my excersize bike, and the slot machine is on the porch awaiting pick up. still to much stuff in workshop. 2 embroidery machines a dozen body bags, and a host of other business related stuff. geeze its crowded down there. |
|
|
|
|
decisions decisions.... do i wanna go in the basement again to find more stuff to get rid of? i did it last week and ended up taking up entire day driving around nj giving it away. |
|
|
|
|
i was looking through my basement a few minutes ago and found like a dozen embroided shirts from when i ran my embroidery business..
shirts that say "seasons beating" "have yourself a kinky little xmas" "its valentines day wanna unwrap me?" "because im the Dom dammit" "because im the Domme dammit" and "OUCH is NOT a safeword"
ok ive found the shirts a good home. |

sometimes the fickle finger of fate rams itself up your ass.
wife loses 106 pounds, recovers from her recent operation gets accepted for auditions on off broadway show and at same time accepted for a tv appearance on "revolution"
great right? so i get home to take her out to dinner to celebrate only to be hit by car going thru stop sign 5 houses from our house.
shears wifes back again and now requires more surgeries and having to cancel any normal physical movement for 2 years.
how many times can you get knocked down before you dont wanna get back up? |
|
|
|
|
ow my wallet...
Wife audtioned for American idiot and blew the producers away. hopefully she gets a call back.
now she needs pro pictures for her resume. |
|
|
|
|
well i think this is gonna be an interesting and busy year...
Wife's surgery is a sucess and shes walking somewhat normally again. lets see how that goes.
i have alot of kayak events planned this year so if you have a kayak interest in the jersey/pa area feel free to ask me. |
|
|
|
|
a new year and im somewhat bored. |
|
|
|
|

recent activities .. took my dog to comic con in nyc dressed her up all 4 days.
Day 1 Kyrpto
Day 2 Green Lantern (G"Nort)
Day 3 Captain American (big hit that day... fetching for freedom)
day 4 Hairy Potter (transformation spell gone wrong)
loads of pictures and interviews throughout the event .. probably a good 40,000 pics taken of dog. |
|
|
|
|

a nice day for kayaking in jersey |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
i really have to start cleaning the workshop. been trying to get alot of kayaking in this summer. so many projects to do now.. they have gathered together... |
|
|
|
|
ok putting final touches on what will probablly be my final sterling siver collar production.
its using the last sheet of silver i had laying in workshop for last 4 years. a few final buffs and then ill mail it out and i can start using the nice hand carved kayak paddle i traded it for.
on a side note .. i did find all my supplies for making vampire gloves including the exstremely hard to buy spikes needed for them.. have about 3000 of them.. gotta figure out what to do with all my supplies. |
|
|
|
|
tested out the new kayak .. boy that puppy moves. |
|
|
|
|
hurray hurray hurray!!! got me a nice new kayak! now ive got 2 hobie kayaks so i can finally get my wife and dog out on the lakes |
|
|
|
|
ok dart night again at maloneys pub in matawan .. its a bummer i wasnt able to get enough people to join a dart league for this season .. but at least a few poeple show up just to play darts |
|
|
|
|
dam dam dam.. was supposed to have a nice kayak trip in the snow and they cancel it because of to much wind... so what if its 40 to 50 mph winds .. put up a sail and ride it out : |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
ok im building points on karma..
took our service dog to visit anorexic preteen girls in the hospital.
really made a difference in their lives and the hospital hopes that we come back again when possible.
|
|
|
|
|
definitely was a good day to go kayaking with the puppy. she whined until she got bored then laid down to enjoy the ride.
|
|
|
|
|
another wonderful morning. time to go kayaking!
|
|
|
|
|

finding out you have to work on a Saturday can be annoying.. especially when you have to drive 2 hours to go to a concert that same night. well fortunately its my favorite band
E.L.O <yea im dated>
|
|
|
|
|
wow i really need to remember to enter something in this thing now and again.
im on here daily and i always forget that i actually do things.
anyway, ive actually got a few days off work and its incredible what i can get done in a small amount of free time. like rebuild the entire yard, build a huge raised garden, and today building a greenhouse out of leftover lumber.
|
|
|
|
|
wow been a long time since i posted an update.. probably because ive been to busy forming a dart league for the local bar.
I put a picture of the first bitch at the bar.
shes a real dog, but a good retriever
|
|
|
|
|
boy this was a long 4 day weekend .. but i got a lot of renovations done in house. we had a nice thanksgiving with all hand made prepared sides and a brine d turkey. unfortunately none of the people we invited showed up .. food for 8 eaten by the 2 of us.
i really need to meet more friends
|
|
|
|
|
ok i just noticed i haven't written anything here lately. good news .. im down to 195 now and i have to use 2 dogs now when i go jogging .. i tire the old girl out and have to stop off and get the puppy now.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
this is getting really tiring .. now its getting hot working in that room.
|
|
|
|
|
definitely getting a workout ripping all the walls off my living room.
|
|
|
|
|
ok biking 20 miles was enough for me today i guess .. you would not believe the number of looks i get riding my bike .. i guess not to many people have seen a recumbent bike.
|
|
|
|
|
i am truly amazed at the number of women i am seeing on this site constantly changing their nicks and creating new "persona's" of themselves .. not to mention the people with 4 different nicks ..
i would have to guess that they cant live with a single nick..
Same nick going strong since 1979
|
|
|
|
|
Another weekend and another couple pounds lighter. What to do, what to do.. i wish someone was local to me who likes to bike ride or kayak.
|
|
|
|
|
ok not a bad weekend.. caught 6 fish over 2 days. only sea robins .. but the thrill was still there :) i even rototilled and reseeded my lawn today .. boy am i a busy bee
|
|
|
|
|
geeze .. the only thing worse then going into a bar when your a diabetic ... is going into an irish bar and playing darts with an irishman in the bar .. i can barely see striaght if got so much sugar in my system from draft cider
oww well im still going kayaking this weekend
|
|
|
|
|
ok... a nice day of dog agility with alot of ribbons. now i get a nice 3 day weekend totally set aside for kayaking by sandy hook.
oh i hope i catch a striper .. i wanna feel that fish pull me across the bay
|
|
|
|
|
i really need to set some time away for kayaking ..
was busy giving demos at "bark for a cure" on Saturday .. and of course gotta visit mom in law for mothers day. and of course more dog agility next weekend as well.
Well at least i know my dog loves me for it.
|
|
|
|
|
i think im just overdoing it again ..
2 days of kayaking then building the garden.
im tired and need sleep
|
|
|
|
|
Hurray!!! finallly good weather coming this weekend .. i can take out the new kayak and see if the fish are biting
|
|
|
|
|
ok definitely did to much today .. biking 28 miles after kayaking probably wasnt the best thing to do but i found that the bike path to sandy hook is now open.
|
|
|
|
|
ok took both dogs out in the new kayak today
while i think the lab wants the water more .. brandy is probably the more behaved of the 2
|
|
|
|
|
so 50 pounds down already .. only 14 more to go before im comfortable with my weight.
got my new kayak, now to find someone who wants to go with me.
|
|
|
|
|
I really have to get around to taking some new pictures of myself .. since i look a hell of a lot thinner then i do in my pictures .. maybe today while i finish building my garden i can get a couple shots.
|
|
|
|
|
Do you think its to early to rototill my garden yet?
|
|
|
|
|
Happy St paddy's day. well im still losing weight. Not as fast as i like but its going ..
can finally jog again, but im so busy trying to get the garden ready i dont get time to jog .. move the garage, move the garden, move the dog equipment, move the camper, move the trailers .. thankfully i got to go to the chiropractor today man my back was hurtin.
|
|
|
|
|
Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best.
|
|
|
|
|
ok im back to jogging again... of corse this thrills the puppy ... hmm 10 year old puppy.. more like 10 year old cookie whore
|
|
|
|
|
This sucks... Foot doctor has me not running for 2 weeks while foot pain goes down. definatly puts kabosh on the dog running for now.
|
|
|
|
|
Another good day for running.
Dog is definitely and advantage in running, it wont let me take breaks .. give the dog one national championship and she wants to run forever now. down to 220 from 264 .. almost time for a new wardrobe
|
|
|
|
|
Was a GReat day to take the Recumbent out ..
connected the camera up to the bike and im uploading videos of the henry hudson trail onto you tube, definitely got my exercise in today
|
|
|
|
|
OK the company is now offline and its time to close up shop.
So many things left in the workshop.
lots of silver, vampire gloves supplies, exotic woods ..now to figure out what to do with the stuff
|
|
|
|
|
i swear my dog is secretly trying to kill me ...
All im trying to do is jog on the treadmill, and the dog has an annoying habit of useing it as her personal tennis ball launcher so she can go fetch it. Ever try to run on a treadmill and avoid tennis balls zipping by?
|
|
|
|
|
run run run... burning the calories away on that treadmill.. now if i can only get the dog to stop trying to follow me
|
|
|
|
|
just great ... welcome to the world of diabetes... well i guess ill take it in stride .. already changed my whole diet , and running on the treadmill 30 minutes a day ..
i can probably do this .. lost 15 pounds in last 2 weeks .. so i must be doing something right
|
|
|
|
|
well the kayaks and camper are away for the winter..
now its time to clean up workshop and maybe start on some new ideas.
|
|
|
|
|
hmm time to update my account .. im another year older now.
time flies....
|
|
|
|
|
OK preparing for my first weekend of dog agility Saturday in barto, pa.
My dog needs at least one trial in her collar for the nationals .. and if i win this weekend she can go for a higher title in the nationals in October as well. for a 9 year old dog she runs like she is 6
|
|
|
|
|
ok .. got my trolling motor for my kayak .. and my life vest for the dog.

|
|
|
|
|
