NeverEnding Birthday

Henchbot — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 19:37:59 +0000

The glory that never ends! This might be the coolest thing you’ve ever seen.
Prepare your eyes, henchmen:
Behold!!!

My mate Henchbot recently had a birthday and these are my tribute to him – outdoorsman, apiarist, roaring rollicking captain of the slopes!
Happy Birthday Hench!

Thanks Ricochet!

Pirates, motorhomes and lemonade

Henchbot — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 06:46:49 +0000

I just spent 45 minutes at Facebook reading and responding to birthday wishes. I think I got every one of them in reply, at least that was my intent. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes, thoughts and yes, facebook pokes.
Its growing late on a Saturday night, back in the warm, digital embrace of the web as I suck down vodka lemonades’ to stave off this oppressive heat. Im reading up on Khat tonight, not because I managed to get some for my birthday……no that would never happen. Im just reading about it because……well…..the pirates in Somalia get all tuned up on it before they go hijack the living shit out of tankers off the Puntland Coast…something Ive spoken about many times here on Ninja. Naturally I have questions about it: why do pirates like it, what is it like, etc etc. Turns out on the Wiki link above, it is specifically banned in Missouri (amongst other grave condemnations) Why is that I ask myself, What does Missouri have against Khat?
Im just curious is all. Its nothing really, just a chalky, bitter, high seas skullduggery novelty that you better be ready to chase with booze…….at least that what I imagine it to be. Wikipedia says it will get you really jacked, and wiki is user based…..so that must be true, but again….I’m just a reader, an innocent bystander with a passionate interest in the cultures of other communities and countries, particularly pirates.

There’s been alot going on in the beeyard the past two weeks, something I will talk about over on Shipwreck later in the weekend, likely Sunday. Stay tuned over there for that. Those bees have been raising all sorts of hell, methinks they’ve been chewing that devil weed: khat.

The setlist for the week includes another wide array of artists, spanning genres with acts such as Arcade Fire and Dierks Bentley, Ive got a mixtape coming from 8tracks, I will release that any day now. Its an odd collection of sound for sure and likely only enjoyable to myself.

Its been one hell of a week, living all sorts of ways in all sorts of places amongst all sorts of people. Im always interested in peoples reaction to the motorhome, you can never predict what its going to be once people actually realize that what they are seeing in front of them, or driving by them is real. It never fails as I hoist the colors on her once we’ve dropped anchor, someone always comes up and says something like: “Christ on a crutch what in hell is that!” I laugh every time, a big hearty laugh as I explain whats’ obviously a 20 foot flagpole with a jolly roger at the top of the mast. This week we met a guy who couldn’t believe my rig was even real, I invited him and his kids up to the motorhome lot at Stevens Pass next Winter to live the dream with us and he couldn’t believe we did that even. He was a really nice guy who wanted to connect with his kids more, especially his son who was getting older and drifting away. He left us that night with all sorts of gifts and promised he would see us this Winter up there. I love how motorhomes bring people together, moreso when tied in with something that really, most people wont even consider doing: Winter Camping. I am a Winter man, hands down. I love being in the harshest yet gloriest of Seasons in my wheeled cabin of doom. Winter brings out the best in people, its when you have to work to stay alive, when every decision makes an absolute difference. I tell you what: there’s no vodka lemonades on a laaaazy Saturday night in ……wait a second: Yes there are. Lots of them!!!!

Im turning this thing off before I ramble even more about Winter, pirate drugs and vodka lemonade. Ive clearly lost my mind.
Heres’ Arcade Fire from the new album. Goodnight friends.

Ive been playing with shopping carts on GoDaddy lately, with thoughts of honey, assembled/ready to use beehives, snowboards, my really horrible homemade art, and general miscellany. I wonder what I can sell online? Probably anything I want. My super intense sharpie renditions of different backpacking trips I have taken may look childish and silly, but will easily earn topdollar. The most obvious place to start as a peddler/pusher is with a cofee mug that doubles as the late night vodka berth so here is what is going to happen: Im looking to make hangover mugs, big sturdy ninja motorhome mugs. Each hangover mug can be custom outfitted to your needs, for example one would say Skipper, one would say First Mate for that special lady and of course one could say….oh I donno….Woodbin or Deptuy Mayor….the list can go on forever. Most of you pirates are going to be reading this from Facebook so ping me there or leave a comment here if you have something you want your personal hangover mug to reflect. Ninja Motorhome Hangover Mugs! Coming soon!!
