It's hard to imagine that our ocean -- an underwater world so powerful and abundant with life -- could one day be without some of the familiar fish that call it home.
But it's true, and it could happen within our lifetime, on our watch. When fish are caught faster than they can reproduce, it not only jeopardizes the health of our oceans, but also the livelihoods of the fishermen and the fishing communities that depend on them
Will you be a part of the solution?
Please play our new "Go, Fish!" game -- you'll learn a thing or two about the fishing industry, and for every person who plays the game $1 will be donated to our work to make overfishing a thing of the past.

Plus, to sweeten the deal and make sure that we're able to reach as many people as possible, one of our partners -- Henry and Lisa's Seafood -- is giving away a Seafood Sampler to one lucky winner who plays "Go, Fish!" before the sweepstakes deadline tomorrow, June 30.

"Go, Fish!" is all about building support for our ocean and the wildlife, people, and economies that depend on it, while raising awareness about the ins and outs of the fishing industry. It's a simple way to make a big impact, so what are you waiting for? Get started here.

There's some seriously groovy art in here...
Now, just what I DON'T need is a BOAT which is defined as a hole in the water into which one pours money. I am thinking I can either clean it up and EBAY it, as this brand of fiberglas boat was known as a heck of a good boat, or give it away to some other sucker. As it turns out, this is not the trailer for it. I found the old trailer back in the weeds and got the wheels off it. They are in my shed now waiting to see if I think they will hold air long enough to get the thing home.
So...today, we took the old motorhome over to Les Schwab's in Warrenton, near Astoria to get the front end aligned. After that we ran down to the outlet mall in Seaside then back to Costco for gas and then on home. Getting it ready for a run to Camas for my 45th year high school reunion. I always get in a rocking good mood when out in our great old 65 Chev truck house-car. With that in mind, I leave you to enjoy some rockabilly music and some great pix of excellent rat-rods. I love this shit.
Here are my vintage RV's: 1965 Chevrolet C-30 Caveman motorhome (my baby truck), and 1951 35' Spartan. I just took the Caveman out of the shed to clean it up for a trip out to my 45th class reunion. It has been inside in storage for so long that the new master cylinder (from the NEW front disk brake conversion I did 4 years ago) got condensation in it and rusted on the inside. SO I had to put a NEW new master cylinder in it (being down to our bones, I bought a rebuilt). The trailer is a beauty, and houses my gallery and Ellen and Me's art studios.

You can click on any of the pictures to BIGGEN it to see details (which this guy has many).
This is a closeup of a piece she made to submit to Beading For A Cure (BFAC), a charity which uses beads to Create Beauty to Eliminate the Horror of Colorectal Cancer.
Having been inspired by noted Kiwi robot Jet-pak authority Martin Horspool, I had mounted a jet-pak on the back of my latest project. Honestly, I know better than to mount ANY plastic jet-pak on something seriously heavy, so am working on an aluminum one for this project.
You can see that the new one is more appropriate and will really be fine when polished, mounted and calibrated. I intend to put propellors on the little gizmo's sticking to the sides from the top of the rear wheel shafts...
