Morning, take tooo

A couple walking their dog along Mainstreet Bowness peering at the exhibition hosted by The Teeny Tiny Art Collective.. which is brining art to my traveling ecopunk show when I go on the road for trials.

So.. it’s morning..

Haven’t felt really *great* lately.. I’ve been workingout every second day without much growth/ success aside from seeing my Kmph climb from low- 18Kmpg to mid 22Kmph averages which hey- that’s a pretty big difference over the course of a couple months… I chalk it all up to…

Muscle Memory!

And I’ll be starting a weightlifting regimen shortly to bring back my shoulders, abs, and all those other parts of my frame that I’ve forgotten about over the years of owrking at a desk.. a hand crafters desk. And today.. I’m gonna talk (again) about Monks Coffee… It’s a great way to boost the calories first thing in the morning.

For my recipe, I take 1 or 2 tablespoons of honey with one or two table spoons of butter (on the journey, it’ll be GHEE for shelf life).. and blend that in my.. blender (again- on the journey, I’ll have~ either~ a rip- cord blender or a USB powered blender). It’s about 300 cal instead of zero and the fats help the body.

A week ago today I brought it back in to my diet- kinda like a Sunday Morning treat and.. lo and behold- my training spin lasted 120 minutes, without issue (lately I’ve been getting too bored or my wrists hurt too much to last much longer than 90mins).

So….
I’m going to be reaching out to cafes and suchlike along training routes to collaborate on Night Markets and/ or special events to promote Ocean Cyclist- I’m going to offer said cafes the recipe and title it “Captains Coffee” .. with proceeds going to… Ocean Cyclist!

New Music coming SOON… follow at BANDCAMP to get notifiedd of upcoming releases.

little update

So, I’ve been playing around a *teensy* bit with web hooks.. thanks to the “Webhooks for dummies’ company IFTTT.. and it is SOOOO cool! 

So, this is the post that’ll eventually show up at all my sites.. from here, it goes to my Bluesky profile thanks to an app that shares automagically from here to there.. so long as I have a Feature Image and this feature image… 

NAME MY BOAT!!!

Bowness Teeny Tiny Galleries.. Season Two is on the horizon!

This post also goes, unpublished, to 5(five!) other sites that I am developing.. including Savage Progress, Wet Pedals, and more. I’m psyched with the connectionism since.. I see Savage Progress as my RETIREMENT plan! I mean, Ocean Cyclist will only take two to three years (at 4Kn/ hr, 14 hr pedalling days I should be pissing about on the oceans for 375 passage days.. with another few days thrown in for “breaks and explorations” and then.. who knows so… two years. not three. It might be three if I switch out my propellers for.. other materials 😉 ).

Anywho…
with this post I am testing out the PAUSED infrastructure. As in- this is posted as a DRAFT to the next site in the chain (Savage Progress) and the task is to see (I have 99.9% certainty but.. I want a full esperiential guarantee) if 1. it’ll post through as a DRAFT and 2. when I set the post as LIVE on SavageProgress.. does it, then, post through to the other sites?

Having some fun.. spread the news.. I’m PSYCHED for what is on the horizon- a LOT of work but it’s what I am passionate about so.. is it really work?!?!

About to..

Gear up in to massive productionism.

unrelated photo from my past.

I’ve been heavy at work with The General Bean and examining cross- over interests with that company for about the last two months.. two and a half months. So much so that work on OceanCyclist has robbed my time there (but, in a necessary and needed manner so, it wasn’t wasted time!)

 

Right now.. I’m testing out the IFTTT cross- posting infrasttructure. If it works OC -> SavageProgress, I’ll be ditching BLOG posting here.. I’ll also be ditching galleries and membership options. If people wanna sign up, they can.. and it will be massively appreciated but Savage Progress is something I see that has more longevity.. longer life span.. and falls squarely within my overall wheelhouse of MEDIA minded output! So, Ocean Cyclist will be short(ish) lived.. Savage Progress will be the work I do for the rest of my life promoting SUSTAINABILITY and equality!

Memberships, there, are gonna be cheap.. with In- App purchases for event tickets and stuff like that. 

 

And with that.. the IFTTT connection WORKS so.. Posting at OceanCyclist.com will be coming to an end (I mean, I’ll be posting here but it’ll be showing up there.. and crossposting out from there to several other websites!). So, I guess memberships will still exist here.. you can sign up and read here directly.. or head over there and read my posts and OTHER peoples posts for less $$

Shaman

The Shaman w/ bike

We are taught that the Alpha Character (alpha male, most commonly) is the goal.. since the Alpha is always the protector, the best provider.. the active and involved. But, equally important is the Shaman, the teacher, the wierd one(s) who see things.. differently.

 

Last year, I watched as Tez Steinberg rowed a small ocean going boat from Hawaii to Australia the whole “Alpha Male” ideal was definitely visible! And~ I’ll admit~ I felt a bit brought down since I don’t have that spirit in me. If I ever did, it was definitely beaten out of me by abuses as a child and in to adulthood. That’s OK.. I’m not supposed to be the alpha male.

IMHO (In My Humble Opinion), the things Alpha’s do isn’t really long lasting~ Tez’s ocean row is already forgotten about. But what the Shaman wants is CHANGE… long lasting, educated, GROWTH.

And, with/ through Ocean Cyclist.. I want to instill CHANGE in the hearts and minds of people near and far. That’s why, when I realized the slogan of “1 more parked car” and the goal of getting 1 million cars, parked.. I was psyched- that’s my shamanistic platform and with it I can lend information, share ideas.. and generally get people to LEARN to change.. and in changing a teensy little bit, they can start the journey towards larger changes, bigger changes, and deeper learning.

And the SHAMAN…
It’s taken me nearly 60 years to realize that I am a shaman.. partly because I needed to EXPERIENCE life before I could share about it.. but also, partly because I was abused away from my desired path. I am an artist.. I am a teacher.. I want to pull the curtain back to expose the gears, cogs, and flywheels that are running our ruined world.. I’ve always wanted that, and nothing more!

And the shaman has some sort of internalt (infernal?!) fire that motivates this desire to SHARE information.. learning.. growth opportunities and experiences. A fire that has been burning.. raging inside me for these 5+ decades.. a fire I could not explain. A fire that, sometimes, I felt would consume me entirely and immediately were I not to CREATE.. not to share. So, here I go- down my shamanistic journey. I think I need to do some sort of psychotropic.. go on a journey or something (below, the young shaman teaching meditation to the previous generation).

Wanna come with?
