Today Is My Last Day…

Posted by Yabu at 09:01 AM
…of not eating any red meat, poultry, fish,,,etc.. Every year, I eat nothing but vegetables from the day after Memorial Day until the first of July. I don’t feel any better and I don’t feel any worse, but I do feel different. Not bad, not better, but different. It is amazing how your body can [...]

Shovel Ready Jobs…

Posted by Yabu at 01:08 PM
…give me a break. Don’t get me wrong, I have no problems with people who wield shovels to make a living. None whatsoever. I do understand what “shovel ready” means, but what we really need is better educated young people. We need engineers, scientists, writers, teachers, and thinkers,,,etc. We need it all; it takes all [...]

Craving More Ego Gratification

Posted by Yabu at 08:41 AM
Give this a read, and then think about it for a few minutes. James Lewis might be out way there, or he might not be. …A reasonable guess is that Obama wants to be UN Secretary General. To do that he needs two things: Radical Muslim support, and the international left, especially European socialists…. Interesting piece [...]

Beating To Weather

Posted by Yabu at 06:02 PM
This is one of my favorite boats, a Wavelength 30, a masthead rig. I have no idea why it’s in black and white, because color had been around for a million years…I guess it’s because it was in a newspaper (I scanned it). Anyway, I’m not in the picture because I was on the leeward [...]

Dragonfly Stake

Posted by Yabu at 04:46 PM
The Juju Woman just sold this to a friend. She got the Yabu discount. From wingtip to wingtip it’s about 9 inches. The stake is 3 feet. I’m digging the glass she used for the wings. Looks different from all angles depending on the trajectory of the sun. It’s guaranteed to keep evil demons away. I’m not [...]

Kill Zones

Posted by Yabu at 09:37 AM
The Juju Woman and I have a basic Radio Flyer we mostly use to haul cow shit and other stuff for our vegetable and herb gardens on the Stretchengeti. We left it outside the other night…, and by late morning, the squirrels had eaten most of the hard rubber off the wheels. I am pissed, [...]

Razor

Posted by Yabu at 11:15 AM
I’ve been doing this for 14 months, and I swear to the Maker, it really does work. I have no idea how much money I’ve saved, because I spent it all on rum. I’m serious, try it.

We Had The View

Posted by Yabu at 01:30 PM
This is the fire-tower me and my gang took over after it was abandoned by the state. We had to cut the lock, but it was no big deal. We replaced it with one of our own, and buried the keys in a metal waterproof box nearby. We had our own private fire-tower…how cool [...]

Breaking For Cover With No Shoes

Posted by Yabu at 08:05 AM
Many years ago about twelve of my friends and I were were having my birthday dinner in a Japanese restaurant. You know, the kind where you leave your shoes at the entrance, and sit around a huge ass grill where the chef flips shrimp and stuff at you. We got all into the Sake. As [...]

I Like To Talk About Positive Things…

Posted by Yabu at 06:56 PM
…I really do. Anybody looked at Greece and Spain lately? Their problems might be coming to a neighborhood near you. The United States is not far off the mark. The socialism of America will not work. I do not believe the majority of the people will support it. I just don’t. There just might be [...]
