Mild Weather
The weather has been really mild, for February. I’ve been watching the tide charts and weather reports, looking for an opportunity to partake in some swamp mud. It seems like it’s been forever, since my last mudding trip. If nothing else, I could use the exercise, and my skin needs softening.
I’ve also got a new girl I’m going to try in the mud, this year. Most of the girls will go into the swamp one time (if they’re brave), and that’s it for them. To be fair, most of the guys I know wouldn’t do it, either. I guess it is an acquired taste. They just don’t know what they’re missing!
Well, that’s all, for now. I hope 2012 is a great year. I figure if we can survive the republican primary, we can survive anything. I hope to be writing about a swamp adventure, in my next update.

Unconventional mud, 2011-10-23
I went out mudding on Sunday, October 23. It was hard to get away. I’ve been working 7 days a week, lately. I actually had to slip out between tasks. I was lucky I could time my trip with low tide. The tide wasn’t really low, but it was low enough to expose some thick, deep mud in one of my favorite spots. I decided to approach the mud, head first, and use a breathing tube so I could stay under for a while. Here are some still frames from the video…
I got inverted several times, went completely under, and just enjoyed the thick, smooth, man-eating mud. It was really nice to be back in the mud, after several weeks away. I have to get out as much as I can in the next couple of weeks. November usually marks the end of my mudding season.

UMD.net Store
I am closing my clip store on UMD.net until we sort out a problem with the payment processor. I’m not sure if the problem will ever be resolved, so this may be a temporary, or a permanent closure. My stores on Clips4Sale are still open, and I believe Heather Blake’s store on the UMD will also remain open. See my where to buy videos page for purchasing options.

Tides and Tarzan photos
Although it was only 45 degrees, with a cold, northerly wind this morning, I wrangled Heather into taking a trip with me, deep into the swamp. Recently, I’ve been frustrated with my success in predicting low tides. The wind has been blowing from the South and the tides have been higher than usual. A couple of days ago, the weather turned cold and the wind switched directions. So, in order to prove to myself that the wind has been the culprit, I planned to go out this morning at low tide (which happened to be at 08:30).
One event doesn’t prove anything, but the tide was about 1 foot lower this morning than it was the last time I went out. According to the tide tables, it should not have been as low. I’ve always known that the winds played a role in the tide level, but it’s looking like the wind is the primary determinant.
Conditions were not great for mudding, even though the tide was low, the combination of low temperatures, a brisk wind, and the lack of a microphone with a windscreen, convinced me that it wasn’t a good day to shoot a mud video. I opted to return to the spot I discovered last week and see if we could get some more Tarzan pictures. I had to transition from sunglasses and latex to no sunglasses and a suede leather thong. You can see me, half way through the transition, in the photo on the left.
In this last photo (the one on the right), I am fully transitioned to the Tarzan look. Most of you probably wouldn’t even recognize me in this photo, but it is me. 😀
We ended the photo shoot with some outdoor bondage. You should check the Tarzan page for more photos from this trip.

Water
I love the water. I don’t just love gazing at it, I love being in it. I love being wet and I especially love being immersed in water. Today, I kidnapped Heather for an early morning escapade. The goal was to return to the cool spot I found yesterday, before the tide got too high and flooded the small streams that I found so delightful. Well, we didn’t quite make it. The tide was pretty high by the time we got on the water, and it was coming in fast. We stopped and took a few photos. We hung out for a little while, then we made our way back to civilization.
Check out the Tarzan page for a few more photos.

Exploring the swamp
Well, I went out today, in hopes of catching a low tide, but the tide never got low enough for mudding. I was determined to enjoy my time on the water, so I paddled a few miles and did some exploring. I got wet, I got a little dirty, and I found a tiny creek that looked really cool. It’s too bad it didn’t have some mud nearby. I didn’t have a still camera with me; I was traveling light. I did have my small video camera, so I shot some video while I was exploring. The still frames here were taken from the video. Doesn’t the location look cool? Too bad there was no quicksand to be found there.

Changes to come
I’ve been researching plug-ins for making a WordPress blog (like this one) private. Just so you all aren’t too shocked, I’m warning you, now, that I might try out various privacy features here, just to experiment. I find the idea of having a members-only blog somewhat intriguing (remember when there were perks for patrons?). I’d have to make some changes around here, again, for that to be practical. So, for now, if you find yourself having to log in, or being locked out (if you have no log-in), don’t panic, it is only temporary. If you have a log-in, please try to log in, and let me know if you have trouble. Otherwise, there would be no benefit to the experiment! (The old contact form on the main site still works to send me messages.)
I’d also like to know if you members would be more likely to post your own stuff if the blog were a members only blog?
On a completely unrelated note: I should be releasing another movie soon. I’ve had a lull in production due to weather and seasonal tide variations. I should be shooting a few more movies before the end of the season. Then there may be another, long lull. Especially the way our winters have been the last couple of years. Decembers have been particularly harsh.

New users…
I temporarily suspended the user registration feature, as I’ve had a few suspicious registrations the last couple of days. For now, if you want to register, send me a message through the contact form on this site. Please include your user name and I’ll make up a password for you and e-mail it to you. You can change the password, once you log in.
In the future, I think I’ll just require that each new user fill in a little information about themselves on their profile; at least a first name. That will make it easy for me to find and delete bogus registrations.
p.s. I’m sorry if you recently created a log-in and I deleted it.
