VAMPIRE KILLING KIT!

Wet with thine own best blood shall drip
Thy gnashing tooth and haggard lip;
Then stalking to thy sullen grave,
Go---and with Gouls and Afrits rave;
Till these in horror shrink away
From Spectre more accursed than they!

A one of a kind Vampire Killing Kit. Completely hand made and crafted by The Somber Raven.
This kit has a number of unique items, the most being the VanHelsing/Tesla style ray gun which emits sunlight to quickly vaporize the undead. It also features the "Cuadros De Los Muertos" scroll. A hit list of the damned if you will.

1 Sunlight Emitting Ray Gun.
3 Hand carved stakes with inset brass crosses.
1 Mallet with inset brass ornament.
1 Cuadros De Los Muertos scroll
1 Candle holder/candle
2 Bottles, aged. Garlic and Hallowed Soil
1 Hand made Rosary. (Created by Sara Ellis of www.etsy.com/shop/MiriamsVanity)

Something Steve Jobs said once.

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."

BMX Restoration - Phase Two

I got the bike stripped of all the damaged paint. Polished up, and ready for parts. Now I'm just waiting to get some new tools to finish the job. Doesn't look too bad for almost 30 years old.

BMX Restoration






Here is my latest project. I'm restoring my old BMX to it's former glory. It's hard to believe this thing is almost 30 years old! So far it's entirely stripped down to the frame. The old paint and decals are almost off. When it's done I might build a single lane dirt track in the back field. Here is the list of new parts.

Pedals
Tires/Tubes

Uncle Giggles

My favorite episode of The Flintstones. The only way Fred can collect his inheritance is to spend the night in his Uncle Giggles scary mansion.

In case the Zombies come...get yourself one of these.



Although the Mystery Machine has that retro style, it's not very practical. Check out the EarthRoamer site. Even if the dead don't rise....a truck like this could really get you places. EarthRoamer

Advice to myself.

Most people offer the majority of their thought in response to what they are observing.

Thoughts that bring about good feelings mean you are on the right track. Thoughts that bring about bad feelings means you are not on the right track.
