Model

Stu figured that he should build a scale model of the raft before he attempted to build a real one.

That way he would know some of the complications ahead of him...

Great Escape

Stu had a terrible dream.

He was locked inside a gigantic cage and had to plot an escape.

He woke in a cold sweat.

D-Rafting

Once Stu realized the cryptic message was a location NEAR his own island... he began sketching a vessel.

Global Study

Stu had a brainstorm.

He looked again at the plank he had found floating at the waters edge.

Could the numbers and letters possibly be coordinates?

Packing

One can never fully anticipate the future.

Stu did his best to pack based on the items he needed on previous adventures.

Drone

Somewhere remote a robot droid searched the landscape for signs of life.

So far... nothing.

Cryptic

Numbers with a couple of letters.

Was it a code? Was it important?

It looked to be fairly fresh scratchings on the wood...

Stu grabbed the plank and headed home to ponder this new finding.

Drift Wood

A small piece of driftwood floated gently on the water's edge.

Closer examination revealed some crude lettering....

Nest

A nicely padded nest high on a branch.

What a pleasant place to be born... Luckily my mom decided on a hospital.

:)

Dung Beetles

Did you know that a male dung beetle presents a nicely rounded, prepared, 'packaged' piece of dung to his potential bride for her approval.

Isn't that like many second marriages, and the baggage they carry?

New Construction

I am considering putting Stu in charge of all construction on this site.

He has plenty experience and time... any objections?

New Jersey Favorite - Taylor Pork Roll

A friend sketched this for me and recommends it for everyone.

For advice on how to cook it up RIGHT... ask him yourself.
