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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Pooter, The Dog

Posted by Yabu at 07:08 PM
I love dogs…I love animals… I love ugly girls, and pretty girls…I love smart people…I love just about anything that’s not trying to kill me. I knew a dog who tried to kill me once. Went for my throat, he did. I have the scars on my left elbow to prove it. I once had [...]

Doing The Math

Posted by Yabu at 06:36 AM
This is worth watching. Anyway, after Silent America was published, I bought twenty or so copies to gift to friends and their older children (stocking suffers) at Christmas. You should read them, Bill whittle has a way of putting things in perspective. I don’t know if it’s available in a e-book format, if not, snag [...]

Smart Kid With A Pair

Posted by Yabu at 10:08 AM
In the town right down the road. Three days ago. A 14 year old boy and his 17 year old sister were home alone. A dirtball kicked in the front door (in broad daylight) and entered brandishing a gun, and pointed it at his sister. 14 year boy grabs his father’s shotgun and shot the [...]

Happy New Year

Posted by Yabu at 03:16 PM
Many many years ago we used to get dressed up on New Years Eve, but we always got lucky…can you believe that shit. All we cared about was the Good Thing. Hahahahaha!!! Y’all be careful tonight, it’s amateur night. I hope you get lucky…and get a ride home if you need it.

The Dragon And His Tail

Posted by Yabu at 09:16 AM
Pretty cool Nose Art, eh? This B-24 Liberator which served in in the Pacific during WWII came to Knoxville, TN when I was shacked up with the Juju Woman there. I was able to board and take a look see. Very interesting. I was also offered a ride, but it was kinda pricey. I regret [...]
