Day 20,216
We took Derrick and Denver up to the Roanoke Star on Mill Mountain last night, and today, we are roaming around Black Dog Salvage, looking at nifty loot. I hope the star goes back to red, white, and blue soon… I love it in just white, but the varied colors are so much fun! Many kids were up at the star smoking some skunky weed—it must be a popular Saturday night hangout for the teens.

Day 20,214
It’s firefly and hoot owl season at night in the Blue Ridge. At twilight, they seem most visible, like embers coming from a campfire, but even at 11 p.m., there are still odd blinks and flickers in the trees and on the grass as well as in the air. Denver and Derek are coming to visit for the weekend, and I hope they enjoy them as much as we do. Music via @beachcreeperband “Chessie’s Got a Posse” , from the album – “In Surf Of” https://beachcreeper.bandcamp.com/album/in-surf-of From the song: Chessie Chunky contaminated cooler: “Put a couple of ounces of rum in a shaker, Add an ounce of the thickest, pulpiest orange juice you can find Squeeze a lime in, and scrape in all the pulp (That’s all the garbage in the bay) Add some ice and shake it until it’s frosty and sludgy, Pour into a glass and garnish with a piece of Styrofoam on a toothpick Think about the plight of the bay, and gag it down.” Chessie needs to visit us cryptids in the blue ridge, take a little break and hang at Smith Mountain Lake with Smithy, and breathe some clean air and splash some fresh water. #doodle #chessie #fireflies #jun072024 #beachcreeperband #cocktail #smithy #smithmountainlakemonster #chesapeakebaymonster https://www.instagram.com/p/C77FlZROTN8/?igsh=dDUxanU2am44ZTZu

Chipmunk living in our backyard drain in the stone wall. Super tiny, fearless, very fast. It has been dubbed “Pipchunk” by @maximillian_deersteak. I hope Pipchunk sticks around—we all love watching him (?) play in the grass out back.

Many thanks to @jenny76 for running my doodle of the cryptid knight through a Glowforge Plus laser cutter and engraver at the library. This was on basic settings at 3.5″ square draft board. I really love how it turned out! The result is far nicer than I could have hoped, and I am looking forward to seeing how it does on a larger piece as the top of a box.

From Savage Sword of Conan Vol. 1 #42, June 1979, the “Kulamtu trees.” At some point, the Amazons of Gamburu planted Kulamtu trees in the center of their town square (or perhaps built the city around them?). Worshipping the Kulamtu like deities, the Amazons would perform ritual sacrifices by feeding living people to the plants. The plants became known as “the Devil-Trees of Gamburu.”

Day 20,211
Super-smoothed and line-thickened version of a cryptid knight—looking for something to burn into the lid of a wooden box or 3D print after converting it into a vector graphic.
I tried doing it in multiple colors, but I think it looks nicer in just black and white.

Day 20,210
Watching “No Offense ” season 2 finale with the family after dinner of some yucky LJS.
Synthetic Gorilla, before and after. These are the things that come to mind playing with Glyos Gorillux figures and a replay of Fallout 4.
Sized so I can put the robo layer under the skin, and erase to show mechanical underneath bits for “westworld/ fembot /five nights” reveal.

My loot from drop 101 of #onelldesign came in, lovely #glyoscompatible goodies. So happy to see the return of the gorilla and fish faces, and the addition of a horse looking one might make a future build of Beta Ray Bill a possibility. Good to get those feathered wings as a part, too. I can see a lot of uses.
Pics – gorilla angel mech, just a cute little robot built from leftover parts, a creepy spider crayboth, fish face and a centaur-bot, glow pheyden and a very cthulhu-ish critter with a clear orange crayboth, and the whole gang plus some pieces/parts.

Pearl had a little Chipmunk come say hello to her just a moment ago!

What will my spouse, my in-laws, and I get up to today? Whatever eldritch shenanigans that may transpire, I hope that we get to see some fireflies along the way.

Day 20,207 Today’s doodle inspired by photo #2 – A 300-pound rock from ancient Greece with the inscription, “Bophades could lift this over his head.” I rather liked the idea of a giant stone with a thumbprint carved into it, with maybe a few runes around the outer edge.
