First And Last

Posted by Yabu at 09:01 AM
The first and last professional football game I watched this year: I don’t follow professional football any more. I don’t give a shit about watching a bunch of overly paid, mostly almost illiterate and definitely arrogant, people who think they are so important bashing into each other. When does Money make you smart? Does (the most) [...]

WHOA!

Posted by Yabu at 01:43 PM
I’ve had some recent communications in the last few days from some people around here. Their idea, not mine. They want to back me, and want me to get into local politics. They want to vote for me if I do. They really want me to do it, and they are serious. They want me [...]

Voodoo

Posted by Yabu at 05:57 PM
I’m (unseen) on the leeward (port) side fighting the foresail. I was trimming that day. I can tell you, I was getting wet…soaking damn wet…almost knocked off the boat wet, and I was wearing a harness. This was a fast and powerful boat, and  she would take everything out of you. As you can see, [...]

More Glass

Posted by Yabu at 03:12 PM
I realize most people could care less about stained glass. I happen to like it. So, here’s another one from the Juju Woman. It’s going to one of her sisters.

Born With An Ear

Posted by Yabu at 03:58 PM
Desiree’ Bassett is 14 or 15 years old and amazing. I think she’s 19 now, no matter. It is said she has absolute pitch, or perfect pitch, which is the ability to name or reproduce a tone without reference to an external standard. No Shit! Search for her on YouTube, she can piss with the [...]

Missing

Posted by Yabu at 10:43 AM
I’m gonna have to call in the Juju detectives and Juju inspectors. In the House of Juju I have some stuff missing. A pair of my favorite shoes, a nice Buck 5 or 6 inch folding knife (the titanium one is not missing) , my channel lock pliers, and some tweezers, and a pair of [...]

Two Questions

Posted by Yabu at 11:21 AM
Please respond in the comments. I’m curious. 1. What has had the greatest impact on you life, Broadband Internet, or the Cell Phone? 2. If the Internet, or Cell Phone communications went down for a week, a month, or a year, or longer…what do you think would happen? Think big and small.

The Ultimate Four Wheel Drive…

Posted by Yabu at 12:25 PM
…is the Icelandic Horse. When the Juju Woman and I were in Iceland, these were our horses. Mine, with the white stripe, was named “The Dream”, hers was named “The Wanderer”. They’re damn near sure-footed. It’s snowing, sleeting, ice pelleting, blowing, and cold. They never missed a step, and we were traveling over some harsh [...]

A Commission From The Juju Woman

Posted by Yabu at 07:12 AM
The Juju Woman made this kaleidoscope for an internet friend. Never met her face to face, and she inquired about one after she saw a picture I posted not long ago. It has an extra wheel, and the wheels are reversible, so it like having four in one. I didn’t post it until she received [...]

State Of The Clowns

Posted by Yabu at 08:28 PM
Did anyone watch the State Of The Clown speech the other night. What a fucking repetitive joke. Jokes are only (usually) good the first time you hear ‘em. Anyway, here’s my buddy Sire, the Head Rib Cooker. He doesn’t light the grill until he’s had about eight beers or so, and that ain’t no joke. This [...]
