The Continuing Weekly Adventures Of Dr. Zachary Smith H.M.O.

 Today's Episode:

Lessons on Disguising Your Campsite from People {and Animals} Who Might Want  to Do it Harm.

 Dr. Smith?  Dr. Smith?  Oh, there you are.

 

What are you looking at?  George, can we cut to Dr. Smith's camera? 

  

AHH! Hey!  George!  Cut it off!  Oh.  Thanks.  OK everyone, its a bee!  

…zzkzkzk Hey Jack, what is this thing? quite the interesting specimen zkzkzk… 

Ah, Dr. Smith, its a Bee.  Most probably a Bombus terrestris or European Bumblebee. 

   

…zzkzkzk Thanks Jack, I'll make a note of that.… zkzkzk…

 Hey Dr. Smith, today's episode is about how to disguise your campsite against people who might want to do it harm, and since you specifically requested this title, I suppose you have something to say on the the matter?

…zkzkzk Yes, I do, first off I would like to welcome all the legopolians who are joining us today, and I would like to introduce myself, but we don't have the time.  So I am just going to list some of the more important aspects for camping with humans:

1. be a neutral color, like green.
2. camp lightly, leave nothing but footprints.
3.  Camp near lots of plants that are the same color as your Camp, like Taraxacum, they are quite good cover.
4. if the humans are friendly, Cave Canem.
if not, Carpe Noctem.

{George? what is that, Latin? I don't pay you to translate from  Minfigure into latin I pay you to translate Minifigure into English!}

Perhaps I phrased that wrong.

I do have coder skills, at least enough to get by on, and I have  Changed the back of the blog into brick.  Not actual brick mind you, but brick nonetheless.  In fact, I think it kinda looks like a piece of paper tacked up on the side of an abandoned building, who knows whats inside?   No-one, thats who, or should I say Whom?   I never was to clear on that matter. 

Good Day, and Best Regards.

Welcome to the Greenhouse aboard the H.M.Z peregrination

Welcome to the Greenhouse! Obviously Mr. Earl {the cook} isn't doing that great of a job keeping the weeds out, I see Onagraceae, Bellis perennis, and some Myosotis but none of my favorite flower the Taraxacum! It was wiped out by this evil invader known only as,

Moonlight Fuchsia

{dramatic music}

It is only known as that because I don't know the real name. Even after hours of "goggling" or something that sounds like that. It involves the computer. Any way if there is a botanist in the crowd {or even a gardener!} could you please come forward? I would like to know the scientific name for this plant, If you could tell me how to kill it too, that would be very helpful, thank you. You may wonder where I could find the space aboard my Zeppelin for a greenhouse, or why I would even need one! But I have a good answer, Sometimes we go over the ocean, or over the polar cap, and don't have enough space for all the food it would take to feed the crew for the months of travel. So I had a greenhouse put in at the apex of the outer shell to grow food such as fruits and vegetables. At least, that was the idea. It didn't really work out as we found out that potatoes can't grow at 30.000 feet. So we decided that we could just go around the polar cap. Although potatoes won't grow, flowers will! they act as our air filtarion system for when we are up above the clouds, where the air is thin. They are very pretty too.
Any way, to get back to the subject, I would like to show you some pictures of my greenhouse.

Hanging ivy plants, over on the right, and over on the left you can see our attempts at vegetables. {above}

A patch of lilies, {above}

and some pink flower we picked up in Africa.
I am sorry I do not know the names of these flowers, most of the time we pick them from the wild, from fields and such, where they grow free. But if you know the names, please leave a comment below. Thanks, I appeciate it.

And on that note I bid you
Good Day, and Best Regards.

The Fredrickson family Crest

The Crest is modified every Generation by the surviving member, Not that we are set against one another or anything, we just sort of, don't make it. One of the dangers of being heir to a vast fortune, which is why I took up fencing. And as you can see, it paid off. The shields on either side are the shields of my father, Fredrick James Henderson the II, and on the right, Grandpa Joe {my favorite ancestor} The motto underneath reads;

"När du är osäker, sväng vänster."

And I for one quite agree.

On that note I bid you

Good Day, and Best Regards.

my favorite quotes.

You know I have nothing to write about when I start posting quotes, but I think that these are quite interesting, and if you agree please tell me.

Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage. Charlie Chaplin

Bow tie - Wikipedia, the fr...

To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk. - Thomas A. Edison

Fedora - Wikipedia, the fre...

The word fedora comes from the title of an 1882 play by Victorien Sardou , written for Sarah Bernhardt . The play was first performed in the U.S. in 1889. Sarah played Princess Fédora, the heroine of the play, and she wore a hat similar to a fedora. The fedora became a female fashion which lasted into the early part of the twentieth century. When the fedora became a male fashion, it was popular in cities for its stylishness, ability to protect the wearer's head from the wind and weather, and the fact that it could be rolled up when not in use. Since the early part of the 20th century, many Haredi and other Orthodox Jews have worn black fedoras and continue to this day.[ 2] The hat is sometimes associated with Prohibition -era gangsters and the detectives who sought to bring them to justice. In Hollywood movies of the 1940s, characters often wore a fedora, particularly when playing private detectives, gangsters, or other "tough guy" roles. A trench coat was frequently part of the costume, a notable example being Humphrey Bogart 's character in Casablanca . Although the fedora became popular 30 years after the cowboy era (1865-1890), the use of fedoras is common in most TV/movie westerns . The fedora is widely recognized with the characters of The Blues Brothers , Indiana Jones , and Freddy Krueger . The fedora is closely associated with film noir characters. In the case of action/adventure films, such as old "B"-movies , and the Indiana Jones series they inspired, the fedora served the practical purpose of hiding the face sufficiently to allow doubles to perform the more dangerous stunts seamlessly. Like the bowler hat , the fedora fell out of usage and popularity during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The hat began to lose favor even earlier on the west coast of the United States, which is known for its more casual clothing. The early 1950s switch from large lapels and ties to thin ones, resulted in shorter-brimmed hats, and this likely played a role in the fedora eventually being deemed a non-essential item. Also playing a part was the shrinking automobiles of the mid-1950s, which often made it difficult to wear a hat while driving. By the early 1970s, the fedora was seen as a dead fashion, typically only worn by older and/or more traditional men. However the fedora has seen a revival in recent fashion seasons. Instead of the tradional grays, browns, and blacks, the fedora now comes in many colors and patterns, the most popular being plaid, but black with white pinstripes are also common.[citation needed ]

Flat cap - Wikipedia, the f...

A 1571 Act of Parliament to stimulate domestic wool consumption and general trade decreed that on Sundays and holidays that all males over 6 years of age, except for the nobility and persons of degree, were to wear caps of wool manufacture on force of a fine (3/4d (pence ) per day). The Bill was not repealed until 1597, though by this time, the flat cap had become firmly entrenched in English psyche as a recognized mark of a non-noble subject;

Happy Birthday Mr. Cook!

Today Mr. Earl {the cook} and I are going to his parents for a celebratory party of his birth, but the Mob has grown since yesterday. The above picture was taken just after we left for the Party, I left the Mate and the engineers behind to look after the ship, and lucky I did! what you cant see from the above picture is their faces.

Who knew Golfers could be so violent! {We have the Mate to thank for the pictures} we still can't figure out what these people want with us, although I suspect it has something to do with the holes with flags stuck in them that the ship is blocking access to.

After walking for an hour Mr. Earl and I found a friendly taxi cab driver {a rare instance in my experience} who pointed us towards North Palmer Road, where

Mr. Earls wife and children were scheduled to pick him up and drive him to his Parents. I asked Mr. Earl how old he was going to be, and he just smiled.

{I'm gonna guess around fifty, although he doesn't look it}

any way, we arrived at the pick up point unharmed, and I turned to go, but wait! whats this? you want me to come too? as the photographer no less?

why, I'd be delighted! I only found out after I embarked into the vehicle that I, the Great Sir Jacob, was to sit in the rear seat of the Automobile the entire four hours there and back. So my pictures of the journey will be from that perspective.

after embarking on our voyage, I remembered why I so despise Automobile travel, but luckily sleep overtook my quickly and when I awoke we had Arrived.

It was an interesting party, first, introductions.

Mrs. Earl, {Mr. Earls mother.} the source of Mr. Earls culinary ability, a former Chef with experience on the Italian riviera.

Mr. Earl Sr. The Retired Captain of the British flying æronauts, a team of British aviators.

And the birthday boy himself, Mr Earl Jr. Chief Cook of the

æroship H.M.Z. Peregrination. After an early dinner {6:00PM} of barbeque pork and potatoes, we played a rousing game of cribbage, followed by a riveting game of Yahtzee, which followed by the cake, {baked by Mrs Earl, } and iced cream {created by Dryers iced cream company of California} and then exchanged gifts, {cards mostly.} and then it was time to leave.

After we left the house we caught a cab back to the golf course where we left the Zeppelin. And where'd it go?

where are the golfers? where is my crew? where is my Zeppelin!?

And on that note I bid you

Good Day, and Best Regards.
