NorCal Pirate Fest and the Bay Area

June held the NorCal Pirate Fest and excitement for Chub Chub and his full costume. The Saturday it was super hot so we decided to drive into the Bay Area and hang out around the piers. The weather had to be at least 20 degrees cooler. We went around the piers and then went to the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum which is one of my favorite attractions in San Francisco.

Fan Girl and Chub Chub and C'ptain Bruce head to Three Rivers CA.

 

We have been talking about visiting Three Rivers and decided to just go and check it out. I have never been there and it has been about a Decade since Chub Chub had been up there. We drove by Kaweah Lake which isn't looking very good. Stupid drought. So there we were up in the mountains in late January without jackets. We agreed it was kind of weird. We stopped at Reimer's and browsed the stores.

Picking up candies, went across the street to get some Jerky. Not your normal jerky either. We picked up buffalo, yack, antelope, and wild boar. We skipped on the alligator since we tried that on the way to Vegas last year. We wanted elk but it was out. So we went back across the street and grabbed up some ice cream. We sat outside and enjoyed the weird winter warm day. Btw a big thanks to Cptain Bruce for piloting the CRV. All together it was an awesome drive and day.

SteamEvoultion I believe that's the name of it at the moment...

This picture we found which was created by shades of earth spawned this whole story idea which we are turning into a fun and easy rpg. The main bad guys are SteamLords who are harvesting humans to either create more SteamLords or SteamerSlaves. Science has taken over for magic. So there are bad Necromancers and good alchemists. And it has gunslingers, gizmoteers, sky pirates, and treasure hunters. More info to come as we flesh out more of the world.

Scurvy Pig's Bacon New Years...

We threw a fun New Years Eve get together with some of our closest friends and made some very yummy bacon snacks which went with our theme. We had some bacon wrapped jalapenos with cream cheese and little smokies inside. Muddy Buddies with bacon bits, biscuit muffins with little smokies, cheese and bacon. Twice baked baked potatoes and also some venison sausage. Which is pretty damn tasty. But the best part was bringing in the New Year with the people we enjoy being around!
