Winds of Change






Hail to you,

          It has been such a long summer…I put over five thousand miles on Quick Silver in six weeks…sorry I have not been around much…life has been good, just really busy…grab you a cold soda from the cooler, prop your feet up and I will fill you in…
 

     American Boudica has grown…we have produced more academic work and art…we have also set up videos on the website…book 1 in the Boudica series has been rereleased with a new publisher…we will be closed until 9/5 as I will be in final comprehensive exams, Rose will be at jewelry shows and Chris is investing time to help Grimm and Co…we will be excited to return…this will be great, as we will soon release our next children’s book and our new book in the American Boudica anthology…
 

          Nature’s Power and Energy is being handled by Alex until I return in September…we are awaiting new from the examiner on the patent for the HydroQueen…Project Phoenix has begun…yes, Alex has a dartboard with my face on it (lots of laughs)…I am still looking for a 3D printer that has good reviews…

       D’s Detail is being handled by Walter until my return in September…the new cover looks good…we have been working on many lease returns as well as daily drivers…if you live in or around Pasco you have probably seen my work…join us on twitter
 

          We have been busy building the other businesses (Walking with Pirates, American Boudica Productions, Girly Pirate Lunch Box, the Vacation Project)…it takes a lot to get things going but, we expect to have news on the launch(s) starting in November…
 

     School has had me on the run…in July, I went to my third and final residency…I have completed all my required coarse work...YEA!!!…from Aug. 28 – Sept. 3, I will be undergoing final comprehensive exams…I will not answer and phones, e-mails and taking no meetings until this is complete as it will require my full attention…thank you all for respecting and understanding how hard this will be for me…after this, I will complete my dissertation…ten years of work will finish with a Doctorate…yes, I too am amazed
 

          At the Sunshine Paddle, we are now up to 15 Donation drops for the year…along with the shelters and food bank, we have been gifting the local schools…in July we made a trip to Massachusetts…the Northern office is now opened and we have added a new boat the ‘Reservoir Rover’…all of this was done in a Paddle for Bobby…we welcomed Bobby, Dana, Tory, Brittany, and Deanna to the Crew…we did a Girly Pirate appearance on the Rainbow River in Dunnellon and went tubin…too much fun…
 

          Dominos has been fun…never knew part of my job description involved catching loose cows or helping older ladies learn to play ‘pokemon go’…when school is over and I go to move into a position where I will use my degree, this is a place I will look back on fondly…I work with a great group of people – I am really blessed…

          The pool has been kept busy…dad has even been taking meals in it…the gardens have been overgrown as I have been on the run…Walter has been doing his best just to keep up with the lawn…we have plans for a proper chicken coop and Walter is busy constructing it…still no luck finding a vanilla bean orchid yet…for my birthday (51) this year, I will be going to pan for gold…yes, I will take pics and video





          Changes are happening…an old part of life will make way for new adventures…this is something I will embrace…I am happy you are here to share it with me…my friend the world is a great place, don’t let your past or negative people change that for you…see you in September

 

Blessed Be,

Captain D
