I finally found a way to combine 2 of my favorite things – Puzzle Pirates and Harley Davidsons…
Of course, if it wasn’t for Rikko, there wouldn’t be a pinup girl for the front of the tshirt – the back is a photoshopped picture of my motorcycle added to a dockside portrait background. It’s hard to see, but under the “Because you can’t pillage everyday” it says…
Admiral — Wensleydale — Scrimshaw
Emerald Ocean
It’s the three islands I spend most of my time on, so I used them for this. I collect Harley shirts, so this was a perfect addition.
Now, on to other news…
I’m actively considering unhearty-ing Justrandomzz. Why? Because he cades Admiral, for what I can only assume was the express purpose of dusting the trading post (the only one in the arch) and putting in — you guessed it — another [insert your favorite expletive here] tailor shop. This has been the story of Admiral for the past year or more — flag cades admiral, wins, and builds another frikkin’ tailorshop (because they have to give all the government businesses back when they lose). So now Admiral is nothing but tailor shops, and I have to search other archs to find a trading post (there used to be one on Kent, maybe the OMs can bring it back). God forbid your game is glitchy and the minimap doesn’t want to work, because you can’t walk anywhere on the island anymore. Of course, the only reason anyone cares about Admiral is because of the Inn — if we all agreed to start doing business on a different island (like Bowditch or Aimauri), Admiral would probably die out. But we won’t so…
Gone on a couple of reasonably successful Haunted Seas runs – got a couple of beachcomber trinkets – and even one haunted trinket, and a fair amount of poe. Maybe a few more and I’ll be able to get night blue chroma.
Xmas in July was fun, although I didn’t get to spend as much time on board as I’d have liked to. Still, won a couple of presents (a wrapped parlor badge and some spools that Peg let me trade for an outfit), so that wasn’t too bad.
I turned 50 a week ago (meanwhile, a few miles from here, my little sister is turning 39) — I’m OK with it, although it did give me pause when I realized that my Dad turned 50 the day after my wife and I got married. Speaking of getting married, I’m a week from celebrating 25 years of marriage to the world’s most patient and forgiving missus in one week. I’m pretty sure her parents didn’t think we’d last 3 years – guess we showed them. We’ll be in Branson next week on vacation, so my time online will be somewhat limited. It’s vacation time, I should be doing something more interesting…
Well, I think I’ve vented enough for this month. Unless someone else builds another tailor shop…
