#Gutter-less Roof Rack

[canyonkingdom]

the seven seas of rhye

Fear me you loathsome, lazy creatures

Broomskingdom is located in between two rich mountains, surrounded by rich land perfect for agriculture. Away from the mountains were seven seas, only seen by the view of the queen's castle. The peasants racked their backs in the fields, their arms sore for picking the wheat.

"I hate this job." one grumpy peasant grumbled.

"It's not like you have a choice, Cap." another one lectured.

I descend upon your earth from the skies

While the poor straddled the economy of the kingdom, the rich stood up high.

Queen Jin lived in a larges castle that ascended high than a man on his second trip. Gold accents tattered the beige walls elegantly. Her smile could make millions fawn.

Her orange gown flowed when she walked, blonde hair blowing through the air. Her beauty shined with a single touch of the corner of her lips. When she reveals herself to the kingdom, they all cheered. A peep of her voice can cause stampedes.

I command your very souls you unbelievers

"Helly," the queen called out to her most trusted adviser.

"Yes, your Majesty?" Helly hastily made his way to the room, where his eyes were planted on the queen, sitting on her throne glittering in jewels.

"I want you to go on a journey."

Bring before me what is mine

She looked over the window. "There."

The seven seas of Rhye

-//-

Helly missed the old town in the kingdom. Where he grew up, where he learned, where he stayed. If he hadn't been appointed personally to the queen, he would be in the fields.

And he missed his old friend.

"Rhye? She must be out of the gutter!" Bruner slurred as he took another downing on his booze.

"I know, right? But I am the queen's advisor for a reason. She trusts me with everything." Helly said, sipping his cup of booze. "We do have a... shady history with Rhye."

"Like the seven seas thing?"

"Yeah." Helly answered.

"It was like a full blown war over some seas and we lost it, right?" Bruner asked, looking for clarification.

"Yeah... our queen's father fought that war and he was panned on so badly-"

"He jumped off the roof of the castle."

Helly paused. "Yeah."

Bruner grabbed the bottle and chugged more booze in his cup. "That's brutal, man. I can't imagine having to deal with my kingdom against me-"

"That's history, Bruner." Helly said.

"Well, you're still going on that journey, right?"

"...Yes. It's mandatory."

Bruner's eyes sunk.

"Safe journeys then."

He was on the brink of tears. Maybe he was just drunk or truly wallowing in sadness.

"I promise i'll be back alive."

-//-

"I want revenge, Helly."

The queen rasped, his hands wringing her staff tightly.

Helly's eyes watered to his cowardice. "That feud was years ago, your Majesty. It seems pointless to continue this-"

"I don't care." she replied coldly.

"... I can't do this alone."

The queen faced her advisor, looking at the ground as he stood parallel to her throne way above. Her eyes were soulless and devoid.

"Then have someone go with you."

Helly's eyes lit up. "Who?"

"I realized you are too scrawny to go in this conquest." the queen said. "So i'm tasking some people to protect you on the journey."

Helly smiled.

"Come back tomorrow morning and i'll show them to you."

-//-

Tomorrow morning came and Helly was presented with three individuals who were way taller and stronger than his small frame. He felt terrified by their presence.

"This is Poli." the queen pointed her hand to the person wearing a shiny tinted blue suit. Poli smiled at Helly, which seemed to terrify him more. "He's alert and strong. He can protect you in dangerous situations."

"O- okay..."

The queen walked up to another man in a red suit. He looked significantly more chiseled than Poli and he was towering over him. "This is Roy. He is the brawn. He will crush anything that physically halts your journey." He looked more soft and kind than Poli.

"And lastly, this is Amber." Helly was relieved that there was a girl, not only because they looked less terrifying, but the way she held a straw briefcase in her hand. "She's an amazing healer. She can heal all your wounds in a matter of minutes. Her briefcase contains all he medicine and chemicals she uses."

Helly wondered how the queen got them to be here, or where they came from in the first place, but he forgot about it when the queen stepped down and walked up to the door. She turned around and looked at them, smiling.

"One o'clock you should all be here."

She grabbed the door handle.

"And one more thing,"

Helly's ears perked up.

"Serve revenge."

Helly's small smile didn't waver. "Yes, your Majesty." the newfound team said in unison. In a few hours they would be gone.

_________

Your job hunt has been a little less successful than you’d like, however your remote work is going fine for the time being, but you’ve been putting in more hours because you need to find a job that’s closer. The next two weeks go by in a blur, and Natsuki announces on february 13th that she’s going out the night after in a fit of giggles. 

The morning of, you’d forgotten that it was valentine’s day, but the scent of chocolate from the stove wafts into your room, waking you. Due to the work you’ve put into finding a job, you forgot to prepare anything for any of your male friends, or prospective suitors. 

Luckily Natsuki didn’t forget. That morning she made three batches, the first two as test batches for the third one which she’s decorating when you finally decide to traverse to the kitchen. Chocolates with small patterns in thinly drizzled hearts and flowers coat the top, some in white and some dyed in reddish-pinks. She gestures at two racks where the chocolates are drying. “These ones are fer ya ta give ta whomever ya want, and those ones…” she gestures with her elbow towards the rack that has individual chocolates arranged in a way they’ll sit in the box to make three layers of concentric hearts, until the one in the center is shaped like a heart by itself. “Those’re fer Shinsuke-kun.”

“Oh…” you look around the kitchen, unsure of what to say. “I guess… I didn’t have anyone in mind to give chocolates to.”

“You can give some ter ma brother, and maybe ya kin give some ter Miya-kun, too.” Natsuki finishes her final piece of chocolate with a pink heart in thinner dyed white chocolate.

“Ter…?” You’re still having a bit of trouble adapting to the Kansai dialect. Natsuki had it in university, but now that you’re living in her hometown it’s stronger than ever.

“Yer new friend, ’Samu-san,” Natsuki picks up one of her test chocolates, and places it on your lips, forcing you to take a bite. “Just pick out a few ya like, n’ bring ‘em ta him.”

You peer over the chocolates. Sure, you can take a few over… and pick out some for Tenji-kun too even though Natsuki made them, and he’ll know.

At 6:00pm on the dot, Natsuki’s sprinting for the door when the bell chimes across your slanted, wooden floorboards. You hear Kita’s soft voice through the paper-thin walls of your room and the main hallway, and then Natsuki’s keys are jingling in the doorway, and the lock clicks shut

You know that Natsuki’s been trying to set you up with someone, either her brother or Osamu, although it's much harder with Tenji only being around some of the time since he’s still required in Shizuoka City during the active season for EJP Raijin. But this is an off season time and he's back home. Natsuki’s less anxious to set you up with Osamu since she doesn't know him as well, and can't goad him into taking any initiative. 

You look at the two boxes you prepared earlier, and grab your phone. 

To: The lesser Watanabe

Natsuki made me some chocolate to give to you. Should I leave it at your house?

From: >> The lesser Watanabe

I'm free. We can go visit OM if you want

To: The lesser Watanabe 

Sounds good. I have chocolate for Osamu also

You meet Tenji in twenty minutes at the door to Onigiri Miya. It's raining, the sound of water dripping in the background as the gutters pool and gush streams down the sides of the roof. You're thankful for the quick dash across the street in your chunky heels. You wore them to bring you a fraction closer to Tenji’s 196.7 cm (6 '5.5), and didn't dress up other than a nice shirt and modest skirt. You know that loving Suna took years from you— almost your entire childhood and teenage years. Now that you're supposedly an adult, even though you don't always feel like it, you're at least trying to be responsible and give yourself time to heal your heart. Or at least warm it up a little from the frost.

Being your friends, Osamu gives you and Tenji a table that's hidden from the crowd, and probably should have been reserved several days in advance. Osamu even pulls your chair out to help you sit, something you've never seen Suna attempt.

Tenji’s attractive in a way that’s almost too clean. He’s got a strong, angled jaw, piercing ice-blue eyes, a deep voice that resonates in you… but he’s just only interested in volleyball and his family in a way that’s cute, but definitely solidifies your decision to wait. Training him to be your boyfriend would take too much work for the reward which would essentially just be a nice face to keep around. And if you learned anything from being with Suna, keeping a pretty face around isn’t worth it.

Osamu arrives at your table as Tenji finishes his story (it took 20 minutes for him to explain that coming from a modest background means he’s got to work ten times harder since his family is poorer), and pulls up a chair next to you. “Ya guys starvin’ yet?”

“Absolutely,” Tenji growls, but smiles as he adds, “tha’ service ‘ere is barely acceptable.”

“Well, ya know, the longer ya hafta wait, the tastier tha’ food’ll be when it arrives,” Osamu gives him a cheeky grin, but takes the order from Tenji for Soba, and you order the house Char Siu ramen.

“Can ya join us, or ya too busy?” Tenji asks, catching Osamu’s wrist before he leaves. 

“Wouldn't wanna impose on yer date with (Y/n),” Osamu says, freeing his wrist.

“S’not a date,” Tenji laughs. “Just ma sister bein’ annoying.”

Osamu glances from Tenji to your face, and you stick out your bottom lip in a pout. “He's married to volleyball, and I'm tired of talking about it,” you lightly tease Tenji, in the hopes that Osamu might be more convinced to join. You'd welcome his presence, soothing demeanor, and calm voice. 

Osamu licks his bottom lip, head wavering as he weighs his options. “I gotta make sure they’re fine without meh, first. ‘Coz if we get too busy I’m needed in tha’ kitchen.”

“Your job definitely comes first,” you say. “You’ve put a lot of time and effort in the restaurant, so take your time.”

“Thanks, (Y/n),” Osamu says. His hand goes to the back of his neck and his cheeks and ears are flushed pink. “I’ll try and get tha’ food out quickly fer ya.”

“Take yer time,” you and Tenji say simultaneously. You can’t help the giggle that escapes as you glance at Tenji, and he cracks a small smile.

“Ya wanna drink b’sides tha’ rosé?” Osamu asks.

You and Tenji shake your heads and smile at Osamu. You're all set, the Rosé is going to be enough to get you tipsy enough you'll loosen up and feel comfortable with Tenji, and hopefully Osamu if he can join you.

When Osamu comes from the kitchen with your food, you gesture at the extra chair. “Can you join us?”

Osamu’s wearing a black button up shirt now although the top two buttons are undone, and his apron is off. He gives a small grin and nods at you. “Yup. We’re slow enough ma co workers said they got it under control.”

“Perfect!” You reach for the box of chocolates you prepared from the batch that Natsuki made. “Here, these are for you.”

Osamu’s eyes widen as you hand him the box. “I haven't gotten chocolate since I was still in university.” He gently lifts the lid of the box and he takes one of the chocolates in his fingers. It looks tiny next to his palm, but then again, he's 185 cm and still broad shouldered and built from his volleyball days. Not to mention whatever he has to do for his restaurant, which includes restocking rice bags at the very least.

“I didn't make it,” you tell him quickly. “Natsuki did… she said these were her trials for the one she made for Kita-san.”

Osamu grins. “They're moving along, aren't they?”

“He already proposed,” Tenji grunts. “Natsuki wants tha’ wedding in May, just b’fore tha’ summer split starts fer meh so I can make it.”

“She's moving in with Kita-san next month too,” you add. “Hopefully in the first two weeks of the month.”

“Yer gonna be alone?” Osamu asks. “In a new place?”

You shake your head. “Slightly, but.. Natsuki will be close- ish, and I'll have you and Tenji when he's around.”

“Barely,” Tenji grunts. He looks sharply at Osamu. “Ya better make sure she’s alrigh' when ‘m gone, Miya.”

“Course,” Osamu says. He looks at you, and gives you a half smile. “Yer always welcome ta eat with meh, even on ma off day.”

You smile back at him. “That's really sweet of you, Osamu. I’ll be in your care”

He grins, teeth showing. “course, (Y/n).”

How to Pick the Right Safari Roof Rack for Your Vehicle

Exploring remote landscapes and off-grid destinations requires more than a reliable vehicle—it requires gear that can keep up. One of the most essential components for overland travel and extended road trips is a dependable rooftop storage system. If your journey includes rugged terrain, long distances, or limited access to supplies, a Safari Roof Rack can turn your vehicle into a fully equipped adventure rig.

Built for durability and designed to maximize space, these racks are popular among outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and overlanders who need to haul everything from spare tires to fuel cans and rooftop tents.

Understand What Makes a Safari Rack Different

Safari-style roof racks differ from standard roof bars or cargo boxes in a few significant ways. They're typically full-length, heavy-duty steel or aluminum racks with a raised edge or basket design, giving you a secure, open-air platform to carry bulky or irregularly shaped items.

Unlike traditional racks meant for city commuting, safari versions are built for strength and utility:

High load capacity for gear and accessories

Perimeter rails for securing loads with straps or nets

Expanded surface area to accommodate larger cargo

Optional mounts for awnings, lights, jacks, and tents

This makes them ideal for everything from rooftop storage boxes to camping gear and even firewood collected along the trail.

Assess Your Travel and Gear Needs

Choosing the right rack begins with understanding how you plan to use it. Ask yourself the following:

What kind of terrain will I be navigating? Off-road trails and long expeditions require more robust systems than occasional road trips.

What gear do I need to carry? Think beyond luggage. Will you be transporting fuel cans, water tanks, a rooftop tent, or a spare tire?

How often will I use it? Full-time overlanders need a permanent setup, while weekend campers may benefit from something lighter and modular.

Once you’ve defined your use case, you can better select the materials, design, and accessories that match your specific needs.

Consider the Build Material

Safari-style roof racks are commonly made from either steel or aluminum, each with its own advantages.

Steel

Stronger and often less expensive

Better for heavy-duty, everyday use

Heavier and prone to rust if not properly coated

Aluminum

Lightweight, which improves fuel efficiency

Naturally rust-resistant

Typically more expensive but easier to handle and install

If weight is a concern—especially for smaller SUVs or if you’re adding a rooftop tent—aluminum is often the preferred choice.

Rack Size and Fitment

Not all racks are universal. It’s essential to choose a rack that’s designed for your specific make and model. Measure the length and width of your vehicle’s roof, and make sure the rack won’t obstruct sunroofs, antennae, or rear hatches.

You should also consider how it mounts:

Gutter mount for older or modified vehicles

Rail mount for vehicles with factory-installed rails

Clamp or track mount for bare roofs

A proper fit ensures maximum stability and minimizes wind noise and drag while driving.

Weight Considerations

Vehicles have a maximum roof load capacity—this includes the weight of the rack itself and all items placed on top. Exceeding this limit can lead to reduced fuel economy, increased rollover risk, and potential damage to your roof.

Check your vehicle’s manual for its dynamic and static load ratings:

Dynamic load refers to weight limits while driving

Static load is the maximum when the vehicle is stationary (important for rooftop tents)

Factor in the weight of accessories like lights, shovels, or fuel can holders, as well as any cargo.

Accessory Compatibility

One of the key advantages of safari-style racks is the ability to add bolt-on accessories tailored to your journey. When selecting a rack, think about what accessories you may need:

Mounts for gas cans, water containers, or spare tires

Awnings and side panels for shade or rain cover

Brackets for LED light bars or work lights

Tie-down points or roof nets for loose cargo

Integrated platforms for rooftop tents

Make sure the rack has a modular design or universal mount points for future upgrades.

Installation and Maintenance

Most safari racks require at least two people for installation, though some lightweight models can be handled solo. If you’re not comfortable with the process, many 4x4 and off-road shops offer professional installation services.

Once installed, maintenance is minimal but important:

Tighten mounting bolts periodically

Check for rust or wear, especially at connection points

Clean after muddy or salty excursions

Lubricate moving parts like swing arms or mounts

Proper care ensures your rack lasts through years of rugged travel.

Conclusion

If you're planning to venture off the beaten path or simply want more functionality from your vehicle, investing in a Safari Roof Rack can transform how you pack and travel. These rugged systems offer unmatched versatility, durability, and expansion potential, making them a favorite among adventurers and explorers alike.

Choose the right material, size, and accessory layout based on your travel habits and vehicle specifications, and you'll have a reliable storage solution ready for every journey—no matter how wild the road ahead may be.

Waging War. An Age of Steam and Sorcery Novel. Chapter 10

“So what you’re saying is that we’re headed back into the same dungeon where you two became best friends?” Peter asked, flipping through a rack of leather armours on hangars.

 “Well, I wouldn’t say BESTIES”, Pham said. He was sitting on the counter swinging his legs and watching everyone else shop. “I mean, we got off to a rocky start. Woz came into my starter town all “hurr durr, chop chop” with this sabre or something. I was set up at the local smithy grinding my skillz, cos I wasn’t 31337 back then. It was, like day one? Two?”

 “Day one,” Warren’s voice sounded echoey and tinny, as he was trying on a new helm. “And it was a katana. I’ve still got it somewhere. Besides, you weren’t IN the smithy, you had tools spread halfway across the road. I nearly broke my neck tripping over one. Pfha, do they even wash these out before they put them on the shelf? This one still smells of sweat and dragon ass.”

 “Should I ask how you know what dragon ass smells like?” Dani’s voice floated over the racks and shelves in the store.

 “No.” Warren and Pham said in unison. 

“It was an Ant-Man versus Thanos plan, wasn’t it?” Peter grinned.

“Shut up, don’t want to talk about it.” Warren lobbed the helmet at Peter. “Worry more about what we’re getting into. You’re going to need armour with more elemental resistances, the traps in that place are nasty and not even Pham can disable them all.”

“Speaking of armour, I remember you lost your entire wardrobe that day we first met. Walking into town buck nekkid, wang swinging in the breeze all pixelated like a cheap hentai. The “one point oh my god” version was the Wild West.” Dani chuckled, a hint of pink in his dead white cheeks. “It took the pearl clutchers less than twelve hours to “someone think of the children” a patch out.”

Warren sighed and stomped out the door. “It wasn’t all my clothes, it was just the seat of my pants. There was no wang,” he called over his shoulder. “Come on, this is low tier vendor trash. I know a place, but it’ll cost me a favour.”

Peter and the other two followed Warren deeper into the gloom as the road led away from the water and under the overhang of the upper level. Here the gas lamps never went out and condensation dripped from the roof to form rivulets in the gutter. The buildings were grimier, soot from the fireplaces adhered to everything damp, which was everything. Light shone through smoky windows streaked where the drips had carved tiny tracks in the grime. Even the people looked grittier. There was no way to tell NPC from Traveller, all were equally worn down and coated in black.

Hard up against the back wall was a building even blacker than the rest. Iron walled and imposing, with red rust patches like a rash over the frontage. No windows on the front, just three stairs up to an iron door inset with a sliding hatch at eye height. There wasn’t even a handle on the outside. If you weren’t let in, you weren’t getting in.

Warren ascended the stairs and rapped his knuckles on the door in a rhythm that Peter found familiar but couldn’t put his finger on. Da ta-da da da.

The hatch slid open and a pair of beady eyes examined Warren. “How much?”

“Two bits.”

The hatch slammed shut and they were left standing in the street, listening to the sigh of gently escaping steam from a nearby valve. The nearby lamp flickered and went out, and a horrible rotten egg smell wafted over them before it reignited with a whumph. Peter was just opening his mouth to suggest this trip had been in vain when the door clanked as the locks inside were released and it opened with a screech.

The owner of the beady eyes stood in the gap and beckoned them in. “Yer mates better be on their best behaviour MacGregor. You’re on thin ice with the boss as it is.”

“He’ll get what I promised on time,” Warren rumbled, reminiscent of when Peter had first met him. “I still have several days and for now I have bigger issues.”

The beady-eyed bloke huffed noncommittally and led them deeper into the building. The iron theme continued inside, with metal bound glass light fittings illuminating the halls with riveted iron walls, though these were at least painted to prevent rusting. It was an even institutional grey that reminded Peter of pictures of warships from the late 1900s that he had seen in History class. It was not a colour choice that inspired hope, joy or faith in humanity. In fact, after the fourth or fifth bland hallway separated by a bulkhead style door he was beginning to feel like they’d stepped into the domain of a happiness sucking demon. 

The waiting room they were eventually deposited in did nothing to relieve that feeling. The seats were bare metal benches the same colour as the walls and attached by a hinge at the base and a chain at the edge. There were no windows at all and the only entrances and exits were the same metal doors with a wheel in the centre. Without the lights and paint, Peter could have mistaken this room for the labyrinth under Averton.

“Wait ‘ere”, Mr Beady-eye grunted and left by the same door they’d entered. The locks clanked when the door closed.

“Woz, what have you gotten us into?” Pham asked, flopping down onto one of the benches and lacing his fingers behind his head. “Peter might not care about respawns, but you know my stance on them.”

Dani had her ear against the door they’d come through and was trying to see if she could insert some sort of probe in the gap between the door and the jamb. “Yeah, mate. This is kinda unpickable. I’m guessing there’s two ways out of this, Peter’s and that door over there.”

“I’m standing right here, you know?” Peter felt a bit put upon. “I don’t ALWAYS die. Besides, I’m sure Woz has a plan. You DO have a plan, don’t you?”

“Wheest yersel. I dun need a plan. This is just a weekly quest. I just… hannae done it in a while and my rep has dropped with tha faction ye ken?” He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. “They’re going to make us wait for a mite, just to flex that they have all the power. Which, in this town the kinda do.”

“Izzat all?” Pham responded. “What kind of faction are we talking though? Cos there’s a big difference between a reputation drop from the Mechanists Guild and a reputation drop with the mob. One means you lose access to the good materials and one gets you concrete shoes.”

“Uh,” Warren looked uncomfortable. “What’s your shoe size again?”

All eyes snapped to him.

“Kidding. Mostly,” he held up his hands in surrender. “I’m still liked, but if I don’t get them the stuff they’ve asked for by Friday I drop back to neutral and have to start again. It’s just posturing, we’ll be fine. We’ve been busy and I haven’t had time to turn in my dailies, weeklies or monthlies cos, you know, taking on a Geas was a big deal.”

“I knew it!” Part of the wall detached itself and became a formless humanoid shape, as though a puddle had delusions of grandeur. “I knew you’d have something to do with the Geas. You can’t help yourself, can you Mister MacGregor?” As the humanoid spoke it rapidly assumed the form of a green skinned, scaly creature in an admiral’s uniform and hat. “Always chasing the bigger fish.”

“Goober, you wee scunner. I KNEW you’d be listening. I’m just surprised you hadn’t shown one of your faces already,” Warren loomed over the diminutive naval officer. “This is a new low, though, even for you.” He picked up the creature by the neck and slammed it into the wall. “The real Captain would have you keelhauled for stealing his image like this.”

“Hey, he’s just a lil’ guy,” Dani protested. “Is that really necessary?”

“Yes, it is,” Warren growled over his shoulder. “Goober, show the nice people your real body.”

“It’s Gruber, and you know it,” Gruber hissed. Seeing no support from the others in the room his form melted again and reformed into a child sized being in a robe and hat. The hat had the word “wizzzard” stitched into the band, multiple z’s stretching the word to wrap entirely around it.

“Bloody wizards,” Pham spat.

Peter held up a finger. “Um, how does this help us?”

Warren shook Gruber like a dog shakes a toy. “Goober here is a Traveller like us. He makes bank by eavesdropping and selling secrets to the highest bidder. I’m betting he slipped Benny Blue-Eyes out the front a handful of silver to let him loiter in here until we’d dropped something juicy. Isn’t that right, Goober?”

“Damnit Warren, put me down. That bloody hurts.” Gruber’s real form as a gnomish spellcaster was even smaller than the kobold body he’d worn as a disguise. “How did you know it was me?”

“Captain Krunch hates spellslingers more than Pham does,” Warren harrumphed, dropping Gruber to the floor. “You’d know that if you’d done your homework instead of just bribing the doorman. Now get out of here before I send you for a respawn.”

Gruber gathered himself up to his full unimpressive height. “You haven’t heard the last of this,” he insisted in his high-pitched voice.

“Peter, do your eye thing please.”

Peter let the cold of the Paragon state flood his body. He was getting more proficient with it every day, even though it scared him in equal measure. He still didn’t know what they meant about his eyes, they always looked normal to him when he checked the mirror, but the way Gruber wet himself when he looked at Peter’s face told him he was doing something right.

“Ok, you’ve heard the last of this,” Gruber pressed himself against the cold metal as he hurriedly rapped out a code on the door.

Benny cracked the door, looking entirely unrepentant as the tiny Gruber pushed past him. “The Captain will see you now.” He pressed a something on his side of the wall and a buzzer sounded. The door on the other side of the room opened and swung wide. “Best not keep him waiting.”

On the far side of the final door a completely different room awaited them. A massive bay window stretching from wall to wall allowed a view out over the waters unimpeded by the town. How that was possible, Peter was unsure. The trip through the winding halls had left him disoriented but he felt sure they should have been able to see at least the lower tiers’ tallest buildings. A problem for another time, he thought, suppressing the memory of the walk in. There was no sign of the soul-sucking grey walls here though. The whole room was wood panelled, with shining brass fittings and artfully lit by primitive electric lamps. No gas appliances were visible at all, nor were any suggestions of magic. It was the most technologically advanced scene he had experienced in the game.

Dominating the room was an ornately carved mahogany desk. Spread across the glossy surface were maps of the world and its various regions. Exquisite cartography tools littered the desktop, finely made pens, protractors and compasses scattered seemingly willy-nilly at first but a closer inspection there was a sense of a greater organisation in the chaos. There were also, for some reason, footprints.

Behind the desk, in a red velvet lined swivelling chair that dwarfed its occupant, or maybe koballed it, was a doppelganger of the first form Gruber had taken. Small, green, scaly and in possession of a marvellous admiral’s hat, Captain Krunch lounged in the opulence of his domain. “Well, Mister MacGregor, we meet again.” Where Gruber’s voice had been reedy and hesitant, the Captain’s was deep, confident and resonant. Not at all what one would expect from a diminutive, dragon-runt like creature – no matter how impressive his headgear. “I am a busy man, Mr MacGregor. State your case and be quick about it.”

“We do indeed, Captain,” Warren knelt before the desk, waving to the others to do the same. “I come bearing gifts, in the hope of obtaining a meeting with… the armourer.”

The Captain waved a clawed hand disinterestedly. Warren stood and placed a small chest on the desk, facing the captain, and opened the lid. Peter couldn’t see what was in it, but from the way that the kobolds’ eyes widened he must have been very impressed. The reaction was only fleeting, however, and the captain schooled his features back into an impassive poker face. “This will do for now, but I trust you are aware of your obligations?”

“Captain, I assure you that you will have your tribute, as agreed, by the end of the week.” Warren’s voice was the most subdued Peter had ever heard it as he returned to where he had been kneeling.

The Captain stood on his chair and stepped up onto the desk, picking his footfalls carefully so as to not disturb . He closed the chest and picked it up gently, almost reverentially while maintaining an impressive air of impassiveness. “Then I will send word that you are on your way. I expect you still know where to go.” 

“Aye, I do.”

“Then see yourself out. And send Benjamin in as you go. I feel I need a word with my doorkeeper.”

Warren waved them all to follow him and exited the room as quickly as manners would allow. In the antechamber he leaned in close to Benjamin in passing and whispered a few words that Peter couldn’t make out. Benjamin paled, looking decidedly less smug as the Travellers left the room.

When the crew were what Peter deemed a safe distance away from the imposing iron building, he burst into laughter. “Do you think he knows? About the cereal?”

Warren harrumphed. “Aye, he knows. NPCs regard our world as a sort of mirror dimension to theirs, in case you hadn’t noticed.” He waited for acknowledgment from Peter before continuing. “So the captain regards it as a point of honour they’ve named a food after him. He says it puts him on the same standing as Lord Wellington and the Earl of Sandwich.”

“For cereals?” Peter punned. He couldn’t help it. Everyone groaned and Dani punched him in the arm. “Ow! I know, I deserve it, but ow!”

“So, what’s with this armourer dude?” Pham asked. “I’ve never heard you mention them before.”

“Well, we don’t come here often,” Warren explained. “He’s a secret shopkeep you get to meet at the end of the local guild questline. You never did the quests, you never got to meet him. Besides, he specialises in heavy armour and you wear,” he waved generally in Pham’s direction, “that.”

“It’s called fashion, sweetie. Look it up!” Pham twirled on the spot, showing off his blood, oil and soot stained overalls. “I don’t need armour if I don’t get hit.”

“But, you DO get hit,” Dani pointed out helpfully.

“Yeah, that’s where the plan falls apart.”

“Come on,” Warren urged. “It’s not far and at least two of us need better protection if we’re going back into… well. There. You,” he looked pointedly at Pham, “we’re just going to cover you in bubble wrap and hope for the best.”

When fitted to a 3rd party roof (as in the photo), the rails are mounted "inside out" compared to the Reimo set-up, otherwise they would just look daft. These rails only have a 10mm slot depth so if you secure to the roof with raised headed screws there is very little room for sliding a retaining nut in - should use a countersunk screw really.

Fictober Prompt 11 “It’s not always like this.”

fandom - check please

Part 11 of the spookydooAU

Will pulled the truck up close to the house. Well, close as he could get with all the fallen tree limbs.

What had happened to this place, he wondered, getting out of the truck and surveying the mess.

The leaves weren't surprising. After all, they were into fall. Most people didn't even bother raking their camps with how the trees blocked any sun that would have grown grass. But the gutters overflowing? Porch being covered? Even the lattice at the bottom of the porch was half covered with the sort of trash that blew in when the less considerate tourists would hit the beach. Empty chip bags, food wrappers, water bottles and the like.

This was a ‘clear up at the season start’ sort of mess, not the kind you'd expect at a year long residence. And, between the fallen tree limbs and the random brush and twigs, there was wood everywhere except for on the log rack against the cottage, which looked near empty. No way to start the colder seasons.  

He was so distracted he didn't even realize Nursey had gotten out of the truck until he startled at his voice right beside him “Was there a big storm recently?”

Will shook his head. “Not for ages. Storms likely won’t hit the inner point hard for another month yet. Could you hold back here? Let me make a run round the house first.”

He grabbed a flashlight out of the cab before making his way around. There were a couple smaller trees downed in the back, one leaning against the house, but thankfully no broken windows. He really needed to stop back by in the light of day. See to those gutters at least, before she was replacing a roof. Clean up the trash. Maybe cut up and add the scattered branches to her woodpile.

Damn what a mess.  

This sort of mess didn’t pop up overnight, outside of the stormy season at least. And, like he had told Nursey, that hadn't even started yet. That meant all of this had to have been building up for a while. Surely she knew she could have asked for help, right?

 As he came back to the front of the house he saw Nursey with a plastic sack that he must have pulled out of the truck cab, filling it with the litter from the base of the porch. He grabbed another bag and joined him.

”Hope this was alright, ” Nursey held up the almost full bag.

”Oh yeah, I mean, thanks,”

”No problem, I felt weird just standing here.”

“Thanks just the same. You know It’s not always like this.” Will told him, tipping his head towards the debris while wondering if that was technically true. After all, when was the last time he had been here? He couldn't say exactly when, but it’d been a while. She just kind of showed up at his all the time. And with her place pushed back in the trees, even though he could see the shoreline, he didn't have a good view of the house. Maybe it had been bad for a while. He knew pride was a thing, but still. She could have asked and he would have been right over, no questions.

He was jarred out of his thoughts by Nursey shaking out a tangled wind chime, “Hey, isn’t this like yours?”

“Yeah, she makes them. Must have gotten knocked off its hook, blown loose or something. Probably should hang it back up. Spot me?” Will asked, already climbing on the porch rail near to one of the empty hooks and reaching back for the chime. A quick wipe to get rid of a spider web, and the chime was hanging again.

Will was grateful for the hands hovering around his hips when a movement, caught in the corner of his eye, had him spinning on the railing to face the house. Nursey’s quick grip helped turn what would have been an awkward backward fall into a, nearly graceful, hop back to the floor and into his arms.

”Did you see that?” Will asked, pulling loose from Nursey’s hold and trying, unsuccessfully, to peer through the dirty window.

”My sweet save?”

”No, idiot, the curtain. I swear it twitched.”  He knocked on the door, calling out, “Hello? Anyone home?” No answer. He didn’t think she would have stood in the house watching anyway, but he was so sure he saw something. Weird. He pressed his ear to the door, but couldn't hear any sounds of movement. Maybe it had just been a draft?

Will shrugged and hopped back off the porch. “If you want, I can finish up with this while you... I don't know, do whatever it is you do with that stuff in your duffel?”

“How about one more bag first? Like as a thanks for letting us come by. Maybe it will show the spirits I’m friendly and they’ll talk more, yeah?” Nursey reasoned.

“Sounds like nonsense but not like I’ll turn down a pair of hands right now soooo”

Will grabbed the floodlight he had out of the tool chest in the truck bed, hoping he’d remembered to charge it after the last time he used it. He gave a little cheer when he set it on the porch and it turned on. He flashed it in the direction of the lighthouse and watched to see a couple of smaller flashes back.

“Well, they haven’t gone in yet.”

“You know they’ll be thinking that was a ghost or something, right?” Nursey pointed out.

“Then I’ll be sure to do it a few more times before we leave,” Will joked. “Maybe wave it around like it’s floating.”

“Your mind. Evil!” Nursey said, “You would have been so much fun back at the Haus in school dude. The pranks we could have pulled.”

“I don’t know, I’m not much of a space sharer. Like keeping to myself.”

“Really? The grumpy lighthouse keeper isn't a people person? Shocking.” Nursey grinned, “Way to perpetuate a stereotype, dude.”

Will smirked back and flipped him off.

”We’d have worn you down, look what we’ve done in a couple days. Hanging out with the common people, causing scenes,” waving his hand towards the cottage, “trespassing after dark. You’re practically one of us.”

“Not hardly,” Will scoffed.

“One of us. One of us. One of us.” Nursey chanted.

“You are ridiculous.”

“Ridiculously charming?” Nursey asked, plucking a leaf from Will’s hair and handing it to him.

“Ridiculously obnoxious,” Will lied, wondering if it was dark enough to hide the blush on his traitorous face.

Nursey’s thoughtful look made him think it probably wasn’t. Damn. Probably didn’t help that he put the leaf in his pocket instead of tossing it to the ground? Why did he even do that? Like he was some preteen girl going to add it to a scrapbook or some shit? Ugh.  

“I’ll have to work on it then.”

“How about, instead of that, you work on whatever it is you think you're going to accomplish here tonight,” Will said as he plucked the full trash bag out of Nursey hands and took it over to the truck. Coming back he dropped the duffel at his feet. ”Don’t go too far, shout if you need me.”

Nursey gave a mock salute before pulling some things out and heading towards the tree line.

Will had finished picking up the trash before the first check-in calls came through. Listening in, it sounded like everything was going okay. Nothing big to report. Holster did ask about the lights, Nursey blowing him off with a ’maaaaybe’ and an ’I don't know’ with instructions to keep watching the coastline just in case. Will tried to keep his snort of laughter quiet enough to not be picked up.

He'd spent another 20 minutes trying to separate the scattered brush in trash, kindling, ’chop up for the pile’ later when the floodlight started to flicker. He cursed when it completely shut down. Not fully charged after all then. Damn.

He did have a spare but thought it better to save in case of emergency. And his flashlights and lantern were fine for walking around, but not so great for clearing a large area like this.

Figuring he should probably talk to her before doing much more anyway, he tossed the spent light into the truck cab, making a mental note to recharge it later, before catching up with Nursey.

 Seeing him behind a shrub Will quickly jumped towards him, grabbing Nursey’s sides, and yelled ”Did I miss anything?!”

”Fuck! You are the worst!” Nursey yelped and shoved back at him. ”God. Damn.” He blew out a breath before continuing, “Nothing yet. Before you tried to scare me half to death, I was about to take another walk around the perimeter and do some Q&A.”

”Q&A? Okay, but, ummm, I’m not sure what else I can tell you?”

”Not with you.” Nursey held up a recorder and explained, ”I’m going to ask some questions to whoever is out there, and see if I get anything back. I'm recording it so I can play it back louder. Then if there is something the others could hear it later too.”

”And what's that?” Will pointed to the small box Nursey held. It had a pair of square buttons with a small bulb next to each. One marked with a y and the other an n.

”This” Nursey answered proudly, ”is the Answer Machine. I invented it.  With some help from Chow. And supplies from Lardo. And naming by Jack.”

”Huh,” Will tilted his head, ”How does it work?”

”This is it's first time out but, in theory, if I ask a question and the spirit doesn't want to, or can’t, answer verbally a little pressure over the switch here will make the bulb above it light up. Green on the left for yes and red in the right for no.”

”So a flashy ouija?”

”No. An Answer Machine.”

”An answer machine is what used to take phone calls, that is - hold on.” Will addressed the box. ”Are you a poor man’s ouija gadget?” He clicked the left button and saw it light up green, ”Oh-hoh! What do we have here? Yes!”

“Smartass,” Nursey went to pull back his gadget when they were both startled by a crash at the porch. ”Wh-what was that?” he asked, shakily.

”Windchime’s down again.” Will said with a frown. ”Give me another hand?”

 He grabbed some string from the truck’s toolbox and rehung the chime. This time he wound the string around the hook and over the chime hanger to hold it more securely. He gave it a slight tug from side to side and it stayed hanging. Satisfied, he hopped back off the railing and he and Nursey returned to the equipment bag.

 ”Ready?” Nursey asked, as he started the recorder and handed it to Will.

When Will nodded, he flipped on the ’answer machine’ and started asking his questions, pausing between each. As he talked, they walked their way around the edges of the property closest to the house.

 ”Is anyone there?”

”Can you tell me your name?”

”How long have you been here?”

”Do you know what happened to you?”

”Did you tell anyone where you were going?”

”Or what you were doing?”

”Did you have any family?”

”Is there a message you want us to pass along?”

”If you can hear me, give me a sign.”

As the questions went on with no response, or least not one that he could hear or see, Will interrupted, ”This is so cheesy. You're basically talking to yourself in the dark. You get that, right?”

 Nursey just continued on, but louder. ”I’m here with Dex. You might have known his great grandfather. Is there anything you would like to tell him?”

Will pulled a face, and Nursey cracked up.

”What was that? A little louder?”

Will narrowed his eyes. He hadn't heard anything, still.

”Oh! You think his jacket clashes with those pants?”

Will growled and pounced.

Nursey choked out through his laughter, ”and the shoes are a disaster?” He was laying on the ground where he’d been tackled, but tried to roll away before adding, ”I agree but I meant about your disappearance?”

All of the sudden Will froze, staring at that stupid ’answer machine’, ”It's lit. What is that supposed to mean??”

Both the lights were lit up.

Nursey pulled himself sitting and shook the box. ”Maybe I hit the switches when I went down?”

He clicked them both off, but the red light clicked right back on. He clicked it off again, and then it stayed off.

 Will helped him to his feet, and they headed back towards the front of the house. Nursey repeating his earlier questions. He got as far as ”Is there a mess-” when he tripped over something in a pile of leaves.

The box went flying, green light lit this time. Suddenly the wind picked up, blowing harder than it had yet, nearly pulling the wind chime down again even with the extra reinforcements.

The walkie talkie app went off with Bitty’s voice yelling something, wind there too judging by the background noise, but neither of them were listening.

They were both staring at what Nursey had tripped over.

It was a rusting ‘For Sale’ sign from a real estate company in the city.

The particular Subtle Symphony of this Winery

Anyone who has proved helpful in a winery with regard to any length of period learns there is certainly one audio, more than any other, that will is quickly, pump-stoppingly, drop-what-you-are-doing, alarming: the sound of fresh falling on typically the floor. That has a certain timbre, a splash noise that conjures up every one of the disasters one has seen around wineries. I've read it a hundred times and it by no means ends to make me prevent and raise my scalp similar to a gazelle mid-feed. Being unfaithful moments out of eight it's not shout about – a good bucket overflowing with water or perhaps a harness left slightly wide open – nonetheless those aren't the particular images that spring immediately to mind. I've curved some sort of corner to discover a reservoir being filled with white juice by the bottom valve, but the user (in this specific case the winemaker) acquired left the other control device (known generally as often the racking valve – normally a good meter or thus higher than its comparable version – open). Juice was initially pouring out of often the sphincter muscle, onto the terrain, and down the drain. Related reports: The Less likely Making regarding a Winemaker Crediting this Winemaker Where it can Owing Accountants Calling the particular Shots at Wineries Little water prior to crash Tanks staying overfilled have a stormy dash sound as their attributes work with wine that in that case drops off their own reduced circumference and on top of the floor. Overflowing juice tubs, stuffed as presses seriously set out to exert some strain in the grapes inside, overflow by having an almost unstoppable chute. I wish to to say these people make a waterfall audio nevertheless I think which is just the impression that they give. That they splash, these people splash like all drink and wine that gets the floor. Heard a good splashing sound throughout a new winery that lasts longer when compared with three seconds and you head out to check out. Winemakers are accustomed to using their noses in addition to their eye (and their own palate) in a vineyard – it matches the career. If you don't aroma a new reductive ferment (one when the yeast is not necessarily totally happy) from the particular top of the aquarium, it won't be extended before a person leave often the vineyard flooring to smell this. Its not necessary some sort of winemaking course to know that if anyone see a spread-out enamel of crimson on the ground, some red wines has gone astray. Nonetheless sounds? If the minute regarding opening your container could be the pop of the cork or the scratch regarding a screwcap, used by reverential silence as well as the glug of the pour, then the winery is the some other section of this. Often the vineyard is full of sounds. It is relentless. The idea can be (during harvest) high in volume. Many wineries rely on products, on motive power, cooling systems and on compressed weather. Air flow compressors make the hell of any noise : I've also worked within a new vineyard where the compressed air has been created by way of a diesel powered engine unit – the kind utilized for roadworks. Air-conditioning units are inaudible generally, but stand up close and they create a noisy rumble. Cooling down The very best Wine Valets to Travel Your chosen Bottles are quiet yet the pumps that press the coolant all around often the winery make some sort of unremitting hum. Bag presses blow up and decompress with the lots of noise – in addition to they likewise click, faucet, whirr, complain and grumble as they rotate. A few have alarms that will appear every time they may be on the verge of rotate. Forklifts beep, whirr and clatter. Penis pumps sound, whinge and rattle. Grape trucks rumble together with pule pipe yaup and dump berries with a huge thump and even sprinkle. Hydraulic receival bins (where trucks and trailers eliminate the grapes) now have a low-frequency whine; his or her augers a new drone; this crusher-destemmer can produce some sort of variety of noises ~ a good relentless metronomic clang will be a sign something will be not right, for case – although commonly audio like a large slip drier would if that were removed of almost any external cladding and geared-up to move double the swiftness. A must water pump (in case you hadn't recognized, we're following the vineyard through the production method of most traditional wineries) is typically a good silent element of kit in comparison with it has the stablemates – it will emit a fairly higer pitched whine should you tune in hard – but since these kinds of, any noise from using it, possibly be that the suck-slosh sound of it running dried up and also the chug of that working hard, is actually cause for alarm. Filling a new fermenter for red wine beverages usually begins with a new thump-bang-spatter because grape have to hits the ground of typically the tank and primarily information outwards. As the tank is filling, it is definitely, reasonably speaking, a muted event. But a little is often a signal the must collection (winery grape/wine hoses plus hoses are known as "lines" – the term "hose" is usually reserved for water – features pushed itself out of the tank with the force of the have to coming out of it and even has decided to expell it has the contents on to the ground. This can and will do come about. The sound involving dripping solution is rarely a good register a winery. © BFL | The sound of leaking liquid is seldom a great sign in a vineyard. Tends to make me wanna yell And from now on would be a good time for you to talk regarding shouting. In most instances, this involves screaming "stop often the pump". In a huge winery, this is certainly generally a new forlorn endeavor and this witness must proceed along with hurry (but definitely not excessive haste) to the agent in question. In small jobs, this cry commonly has got the desired effect : every person hits the stop-button nearby to them. Or perhaps sometimes typically the noise regarding whatever possesses happened is definitely enough – as in the particular case of me personally going down through a ladder ditch in some scaffolding – plus the closest to person shouts "are anyone ok? inch, despite certainly not seeing precisely what had transpired. I keep in mind one occasion as soon as, midway through rolling some sort of fermenter cover through the vineyard a associate shouted "Guys! " This was adopted by another, louder "GUYS! " (a second holler is a surefire signal something is amiss). Most of us all went to find the dog wrestling with a new tank control device the deal with had connected around together with popped opened. He was initially saturated in fermenting Sauvignon Blanc. But shouts happen to be like sounds – mostly, you know when it's an disaster, or if something went wrong. My spouse and i can't explain that, nonetheless you get an head for this. Like a Bucher 150 push losing front door seal at 2 pub. I probably should make clear this so you get often the full picture. The Bucher 150 is the somewhat common cylindrical bladder click. It is essentially a stainless steel tube divided down this middle by a large bag. Guiding the tote goes often the compressed surroundings that is used to squash the bag from the grapes (which are with lack of of the bag) and the drink functions off down about seven drainage channels into the hit tray. There are also a pair of doors on this fruit area of the particular press. They allow it to be emptied and permit people to climb in clean it. The doors happen to be about half the size of some sort of regular door. They fall, and so are sealed pneumatically versus the outside the press. This press runs, at the upper level, with a tension of 2 bar, or 200kPa, or 29lbs for each square inch. I is not going to go ahead to how and even so why this took place (it had been operator miscalculation ~ to a qualification: the heart and soul was that in the event you flicked concerning automatic together with guide method in the previous models, you always risked shedding door seal) yet, via my desk, now there got a double-BOOM, some sort of whoosh like a fly plane all of a sudden appearing cost, put into practice, events later, by means of what sounded like rain on the tin roof (it was actually half-dried Pinot Gris skins falling from the sky). I searched on the lab technical assistant, this lab technical viewed with me, and that we ran outside. This is a bit about sounds so We won't describe the landscape. Be adequate to say that will weeks in the future, when the idea rained, we'd even now come across Pinot Gris cases forthcoming out of the guttering using the rainwater. Not most sounds are usually bad nevertheless – many are happy. The particular rhythmic slosh of a great irrigator wetting the hat of fermenting Cabernet or perhaps Merlot; often the squelch, are terrible, fizz regarding plunging a fermenting limitation of Pinot Noir; the beeping of timers in the research laboratory; the scrape of a new stirrer in a gun barrel involving Chardonnay; the scream of "standby", the reply associated with "standing by", in addition to the "stop" of topping a tank. Days of homemade wine and Boses And then there is certainly the stereo. Almost all of my personal European vintages have been completed in relative silence as long as music went. In quite a few wineries we may well include a portable radio, nonetheless mostly generally there wasn't songs. When Anyone that Loves Wine Ought To be able to Study This received to help the SouthernHemisphere, even though, the first vintage surprise was initially seeing two audio system the size of banano boxes hanging from the eaves, overlooking the push area. The music streamed out there as we performed, from start to evening, red and white, we all listened to everything. Together with I adored it : I still do. In most of the New Globe wineries I have worked well in, we have seen a audio system in each work area (barrel hall, vineyard, lab). Some, though, get it very seriously. Central Otago winemaker Dean Shaw presides over reputedly the best stereo system in the location together with a huge repository that goes into terabytes. They has rules although. You need to play an album inside their entirety, for illustration. In addition to Rage Against This Machine is definitely banned. Because, undoubtedly for the majority of wineries (once everyone's Spotify has recently been exhausted), the radio gets the particular fall-back, there are songs I actually powerfully keep company with vintages. Sedona by Houndmouth is old-fashioned 2015. This year, it will be Run Crazy by means of Brand-new Zealand team Racing. As I write, this can be late in the evening. Just about Great Wine and Good Mood offers curbside pickup is quiet spend less typically the hiss outside involving compressed air bleeding by itself from the process together with my post-rock COMPACT DISK playing on the clinical stereo. In a few days the essential contraindications silence will certainly return and even, to always be honest, I'm definitely not totally looking forward to it.

House Cleaning Schedule

Whether you don't find pleasure in cleaning or simply feel overwhelmed by the thought of tidying up your place, creating a home cleaning schedule is the answer. A cleaning schedule is an organized way of house cleaning. You wouldn't have to think of what needs to be cleaned today, tomorrow or next month. The checklist can point out the areas to tackle for a given day and what type of cleaning needs to be done daily cleaning schedule .

In creating a house cleaning schedule, identify which chores need to be done daily, weekly, monthly and seasonally. Break down your cleaning tasks into manageable chores grouped according to frequency of cleaning.

Daily To-dos. These are cleaning chores that need to be done on a daily basis.

1. Straighten your bed. As soon as you get up, why not make your bed? Then you never have to think about it again the rest of the day. 2. Wash the dishes. Dirty dishes can attract all sorts of insects depending on where you live. Bacteria and germs can also breed on unwashed dishes. 3. Tidy up. Don't leave things strewn all over the place. Clean or pick up as you go. If you have kids, tell them to put up their toys or art materials after use. Books should be returned to the proper shelf or magazine rack. Clothes and shoes should never be used as decorative accents around the house. If you want, schedule picking up just before lunch, before dinner and before going to bed. 4. Take out the trash. Clean out the trash cans daily to prevent any unpleasant odor and to keep insects away.

Weekly Chores. Perform weekly chores on the same day each week.

1. Vacuum and mop the floors. You should perform these two tasks one after the other. Choose a day when there is least activity in the home. Don't forget to include the kitchen floor. 2. Vacuum carpets and rugs. Carpet and rugs should be vacuumed every week and more often in high traffic areas. If someone suffers from allergies in the home, you may have to do this task more than once a week. 3. Dust. The following should be dusted well: shelves, table tops, moldings, tops of doors, corners, furniture, picture frames, windowsills as well as ceiling fans. 4. Polish wooden furniture. Use wood furniture polish together with a lint free cloth to get the shine back on your wooden furniture. 5. Clean the kitchen. Make sure that the refrigerator, microwave and other appliances are wiped down. Sanitize the counter as well. 6. Clean the bathroom. Take out the shower curtain if you have one and throw it into the washing machine. Scrub the bathroom floor, walls, toilet bowl, sink and bathtub. Don't forget to wipe the fixtures and the bathroom mirror. 7. Change and wash bed sheets. Sheets should be changed and washed weekly. 8. Wash windows. Using old newspaper and water is a great way of cleaning windows on the cheap. However, you can also use commercial glass cleaners if budget is not a concern. 9. Wash and iron your clothes. Your laundering and ironing schedule actually depends on how many live in your home. The lesser number of people, the fewer times you have to launder and iron. If someone's clothes are stained, immediately apply a stain remover and wash the item.

Monthly tasks. There are cleaning tasks that can be done once a month.

1. Clean the refrigerator. Wipe the inside of the refrigerator and throw out expired or spoiled food. 2. Clean the oven. Use an oven cleaner to clean baked on food. If your oven is rarely used, you can move this chore to the seasonal cleaning list. 3. Vacuum the couch. If your couch has a slip cover or removable cushion covers, launder them. Your couch accumulates dirt and dust so vacuum it once a month. 4. Wash curtains. Curtains are dust magnets. Make sure to wash them at least once a month. 5. Others: Change air filters, check the batteries of smoke alarms, clean light fixtures, wipe down doors, do some gardening, etc.

Seasonal jobs. These are cleaning chores that can be done between longer periods of time. Seasonal cleaning jobs are usually done every quarter, twice a year or annually.

1. Clean out closets, pantries and drawers. Identify items to donate, recycle, reuse or throw away. Also clean out your garage. 2. Vacuum mattresses. Apart from vacuuming your mattresses, you may also need to turn them. Instructions for turning a mattress are found on the mattress tag. 3. Launder pillows and cushion. Wash your pillows and dry them. 4. Others: Clean walls, baseboards, gutters, roof, patio furniture, ceiling fans, vents and more.

The house cleaning schedule above is not written in stone. Each house cleaning schedule is personal and will depend on the size and design of your home, if you have pets, your personal schedule, as well as the schedules of the other people who can help you with these chores. Develop your own daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal cleaning schedule. You can write them in your planner. For monthly and seasonal cleaning jobs, use an electronic calendar to remind you when a task is coming up. House cleaning is not necessarily enjoyable. However, by breaking the tasks down into manageable pieces, cleaning tasks become less daunting and more doable.

Shelter for your next escape!

New Post has been published on https://www.4wdsupacentre.com.au/news/shelter-for-your-next-escape/

Shelter for your next escape!

Australia’s climate is notoriously harsh with drought, scorching sunshine and gnarly afternoon electrical storms and whilst we are sitting in the key season for camping, the weather is as good as it could get, but it is more important than ever that you bring a reliable portable shelter with you to your favourite camping spots!

There are a handful of serious, well performing shelters you can bring with you on your next camping expedition. Starting with a simple camping Awning, which offers a setup that takes just seconds to put together when you get to camp and when coupled with an Adventure Kings Awning Wall, provides the ultimate shelter from wind rain and even snow, by doubling up the sheltered space at camp and providing more privacy at your setup!

  The Adventure Kings Awnings are available in sizes from 1.4m x 2m, the 2m x 3m, the 2.5m x 2.5m, and the 2m x 2.5m. With the 2.5m x 2.5m being the most popular size in the range, offering campers the best blend between, usable sheltered space and versatility of your setup. There are a whole range of accessories that easily mount to the Adventure Kings Awning. The Adventure Kings Awning Range also recently developed Adventure Kings 270° King Wing Awning, which wraps all the way around the left side of your vehicle and around the rear if your vehicle offering the greatest amount of coverage available and even covers your vehicles tailgate for the most convenient shelter at camp with a one person setup that takes less than a minute to setup simply unfolded and drop the legs into place, then anchor with the tensioning strap for perfect tension.

All Adventure Kings Awnings offer an excellent shelter for nearly any weather but even the best setup rigs cant get into every campsite, some campsites don’t allow vehicle access, so you may not be able to unfold your awning over your campsite. If this is the case you need to get your hands on an Adventure Kings Gazebo, fully free standing it requires no structure to be set up, this means you can set it up anywhere at anytime, from the sand at the beach for the perfect shelter, or even in bollarded campsites with the ability to put up your gazebo with an Adventure Kings Gazebo Tent which is a fully enclosed room making your gazebo based campsite, that much better. If you wanted to reserve your gazebo for relaxing underneath, then one of the Adventure Kings Gazebo Hub setups lets you keep your shelter free for hanging out underneath whilst still giving an excellent space to sleep in, you can even add a second and third Gazebo Hub giving you plenty of enclosed space at camp and maximizing the potential of your Gazebo setup.

Each of the Gazebo Accessories, fit both sizes of Adventure Kings Gazebo, from the 3m x 3m Gazebo to the 6m x 3m Gazebo which utilize the same heavy-duty steel frames and tough waterproof fabric. You can even get your hands on a set of Gazebo Walls and Kings mosquito tents which perfectly compliment any camping setup.

But if you already have a full load of gear in your 4WD it is unlikely you have the space inside the cab for an Adventure Kings Gazebo, there is one really good way to ensure your Gazebo can come with you to camp, and that is by adding one of the tough looking Adventure Kings Steel Roof Rack Systems, with options from Steel flat Racks, Roof Top Tent Racks and even Full Length Steel Racks which offer a secure perimeter to secure your gear into place on the roof of your vehicle, the steel racks also give you the perfect location to mount your Adventure Kings Awning with the included mounting kit and even your LED Light bars. There are a handful of different makes and models and even with a universal style which fastens to rain gutters found on older 4WD’s, these can also be made to fit to nearly every vehicle with a set of heavy duty U-bolts, and when fastened to an existing set of cross bars or sports rails. There are many different options available and to get the perfect setup for your vehicle the best thing to do is drop into one of our company camping stores to speak with one of our 4WD and camping experts and get your setup sorted with the right gear for your specific model and make of vehicle.

a dire predicament

an: inspired by the bts of colin’s big number, and encouraged by @this-too-too-sullied-flesh and @gentlesleaze. Those fucking sweatpants, man.

She can’t stop laughing. Years of loss and loneliness, distrust, curses, death, pain and heartache. Being separated by realms, and temporarily defeated by foes - all the things they’ve been through, and as she stares up at the rooftop of her home, Killian looks as though this is the most difficult bind he’s ever gotten himself into.

He’s not...necessarily wrong.

She’d left her Poptarts behind at the store when she’d felt the tingling of her security charm at work, and had poofed herself back to the house fully prepared for battle with whatever idiot thought it was a good idea to mess with the Savior, and had instead been very confused to find no signs of an intrusion on the house, only the newspaper still sitting on the front lawn. Killian was usually up by now, reading through it like some old-timey gent, sipping his coffee while he flipped through the pages, like there was anything in there Leroy hadn’t already exclaimed in the streets for all to hear.

It didn’t take very much distracting, if she’s being totally honest.

But the paper is still there, and the door is still locked, and Emma shakes off the spike of concern that shoots up her spine.

She does a sweep of the perimeter, just in case, and is nearly back to the front door when she sees something strange.

Hanging neatly nestled in the rose bush climbing up the lattice is a piece of fabric that looks vaguely familiar, and as she leans closer, she tries to recall what it is it reminds her of - she reaches out, prepared to tug it down, and then jumps, startled, as someone hisses out her name.

“Swan!”

Her eyebrow jumps. He hasn’t quite quelled the habit of calling her that, every once in a while, even after she’d thoroughly convinced him she wanted to take his last name, but that’s not the weird thing, anyway, because his voice is coming from above her.

She tilts her head up as her fingers find purchase on the fabric and tug, to find Killian’s head peeking out from the gutter.

“Killian, what the hell?”

“Love, as much as I’d love to enjoy the view a moment longer,” his head tilts carefully to the low cut of her shirt, “a little help?”

“Why are you on the roof?”

“Well, you see, funny thing...”

But she’s already backing away, trying to get a good look at the situation at hand, and his ears are turning pink as the full picture comes into view.

“Did you try to break into the house?” she asks, noting the hook sized claw marks near the window, and Killian huffs, clearly offended. And then she sees the rest of this tableau, and that’s when the laughing starts.

She’s got his sweat pants in her hand, which explains why he hadn’t just scrambled back down the drain pipe the same way he’d come, but that’s not really the amusing thing. 

It’d been cold, this morning when she left, and though it’s starting to warm up, it’s still a bit chilly. From the looks of things, Killian had grabbed for the nearest thing to keep himself warm as he went to grab the paper, which, apparently, was the great coat he’d hung on the coat rack immediately after their return from the Enchanted Forest. She hadn’t bothered to remove it in the weeks since they’d been back, and honestly she kind of liked it there. 

“Killian, what are you doing on the roof?” she asks between bouts of laughter, because she’s pretty sure under the coat he’s super naked and she can’t imagine the neighbors aren’t at this very moment peeking out their windows to see why the Savior is currently laughing so loud the birds are stirring in the trees.

“I got locked out! I told you that bloody door needed fixing, but oh no, you had to accost me in the shed when I attempted to fix it, and-.”

She grins up at him, biting her lip, still too amused to keep a straight face. “Are you naked under there?”

Whatever ire he felt at being stuck up on the roof seems to vanish, his face morphing, brow raising as he tucked his tongue into his cheek. “Why don’t you come up here and find out for yourself, wife?”

She’s just about to meet the challenge when she hears the scrape of a window being raised.

“Why are you guys shouting!?” Henry calls out, and then pauses. “Are you...ware you wearing anything under that?”

“I knocked on the door for ten bloody minutes, lad! Where were you?”

“What are you doing on the roof without any clothes?”

”Hey!”

Across the way, one of the dwarves is holding his newspaper over his eyes, squinting at them all. Leroy’s going to know about this in minutes. Which means the entire town will know in less than an hour. 

“Why is everyone yelling?”

“Nothing to see here, Sneezy! On your way!” Killian shouts down, careful to check that the jacket’s buttons are still secure. 

“Hey, do you sleep in that thing?” Sneezy yells, and really, this is getting out of hand. 

She sighs, taking one last glance up at Killian, barefoot and most likely shirtless, wrapped up in the coat, and then she shoots Sneezy a quick wave. “Have a good morning!” she shouts shrilly, and then waves her hand.

 Henry’s footsteps rumble down the stairs as Emma bursts into another peel of laughter, but even as she reaches out for Killian, he huffs and grabs for the sweatpants still in her hand.

He passes by Henry on his way up the stairs, and Emma watches him go, waiting until the footsteps have moved towards their bedroom before leaning in close to Henry. 

“You took pictures, right?”

Henry stares at her incredulously. “Seriously? Why would I do that?”

“Because you’re your mothers son, and you know some day we’ll regret not having them?”

Henry stares at her for a beat, before he turns away, and Emma sighs, trying to keep the picture in her mind.

As he’s filling the kettle, though, he shoots her a sly look. “I’ll text them to you.”
