New Put Pictures Here

In the Vault until October...

The Head Pirate schemes out another spot the Cache away one of the wonderful, enticing, dream-filled chests of Plunder & Booty.

This will NOT be easy. There will be some serious Pirate type happy stuff challenges here. You will need a brain (for clues) and a good eye (to locate) and good nerves...(you'll see)

Sure glad I'm cooking.

F#ck, my voice sounds HORRIBLE.
I'm not talking on video anymore.

Anyway, This is the Sand Spit:

Which is not where we're going because it's a real long, boring, sandy b#tch of a hike to reach.

This is the northern end of Montana De Oro.


Lots of good, firm rock:


...good surf:


...and (if you're clumsy or stupid) some REALLY interesting structures to fracture various limbs on/fall off of:

meep, you sure do put a lot of work into making meep fun man. Looks like ya'll are gonna be meeping partying for days. I'm a little jealous lol.

Thanks!
We found six GREAT little hiding spots that are juuuust dangerous enough to be fun, while still not constituting ACTUAL child endangerment.
I'll make the maps now on parchment with a general location on the coastline and a nice "as seen" inset so the kids can just spend the day crawling around the area until they spot the matching rock formations.
I'll post an unmarked example when I get the design finished.

Easter egg hunting like a badass.

I predict past out pirates in puddles of pirate puke.

Rum's so goddamned sugary that I can only have a few shots before getting sick to my stomach.
I nixed the all-rum plan and threw in some good whiskey.
-Then defeated the original purpose with more brandy and schnapps.

(shrugs) If you want something special, just name it.

It's 10am.
I'm taking shots of rum and working alternately on a cutesy little treasure chest with a heart-shaped key

-And an iron strap-on that shoots flames.

Is it bad that I see nothing odd about this?

A meep Chest, A Bone Chest, and a Squid Chest, which has a heart?

Squid and bone chests...hmmm...
Not bad ideas to differentiate the prizes.
Gonna probably have some folks swapping for the one they want...
Anyway;

I hated that prototype Legend of Zelda chest.
Gonna do at least one proper one here before I move on...

Oh, sorry Goat. Didn't see your post 'til just now.
It goes to the other Zelda chest.
(Although the titty chest would probably be a good fit)
I don't like how delicate those little store-bought box locks are, so I'm using a couple of old locks I had left over from when I was still trying to find the right design.

Wanted to make a handful of potion bottles.
The craft store had these little things:

But I couldn't find any damned corks that fit right.

So:

The bright side of a life plagued by little annoyances(Like not being able to find stoppers) is that your skills will never get rusty and will always be in demand.

you need help with potions, I have a great library of ancient recipes utilizing everything from anise to wormwood. Or you could just fill them with candy & glitter & booze. But I can picture one of those stuffed with dried peaches & brandy (monkey ears). Those would get my Mom & Aunt so meepered up.

Actually I was thinking Legend of Zelda style red and blue Skittles vodka, but meep, dried peaches in brandy sounds pretty sinister looking!
Is it just those two things or is there a recipe?

The only other ingredient is a single string of clear rock candy, and a three month cure. Apricots might work better in a jar that size. They always called them "Monkey Ears", and if that isn't a Pirate Drink, I don't know what would be. Total Panty Peelers. Better bring you's a woman.

You could get a really dark red with cherries in brandy.

I have such unclean thought about Dianna Wash in the Shower...

Just so you meeps know I haven't stopped making progress;

(Zelda Chest Mk2)
By the way, @BeachGoat I'm taking that first one back to rebuild/burn.
This is Jolly Rancher Vodka:

Verdict;
Tastes like liquid diabetes, but one bottle will make you forget your middle name for a few hours.

Holy meep. I love Skittles. I love Jolly Ranchers. I love vodka. God help me....

You know, it just occured to me;
I've been boosting the meep out of Heather's Rads by posting here.
Should I have been posting in my own pics thread?

Arrr, If It Be Pirates, Yes!

Ah, no rush.
I've got decades of craft left in me.
I've been looking for a keyring or charm with Link's shield so that I could epoxy two of them back-to-back on the key(yes, I was gonna cheat) but it looks like despite a new zelda game coming out and the popularity of the game rising again, there aren't any around.
Looks like I'll have to send the credit card info out into the ether again...

Just request a juicy BJ from Heather as "in-kind" payment for sticking rads up her yoohoo.

PS... Very nice work. It is great to tune in and see what you have rolled out over the weekend.

Tootles.

If you post your credit card info here, I'll take care of it for you. No need to thank me.

@BigDinWaunakee
Thanks man!

@StartRecordingNow
Right now I've got a credit line of...$22,200.
At one point Chase bank had me up to a $45,000 limit.
It < scared the sh#t out of me.
I had to actually THREATEN TO CLOSE MY ACCOUNT to get them to lower it.

Anyhoo...
Here's today's progress:


Amazing what a little paint'll do...
