Ninjas, Motorhomes, Pirates, Bees ... All Good Things.

Bees, gaming, music, culture, action sports...ninjamotorhome.com.

A year or so ago I was scavenging the pages of the northwestriders.com Google Analytics stats. I came across a peculiar referring website that was named "Ninja Motorhome" and my interest was naturally peaked. Ninjas...yes. Motorhomes...sure.

Unpacked and Back in the Office

Tue, Jun 15, 2010

Well...the wedding was a success (I didn't get stood up) and the Honeymoon was a blast! Barbados was fantastic even though the waves were pretty much a no go. We did, however, get stood up by the taxi service at 5:00 AM for the trip back home. Special thanks goes out to "Chicken" ... the local Barbadian that gave Sara and I a ride to the airport on the fly...you were a Godsend! We made it to our flight just 10 minutes before check-in closed.

Greg handled the orders superbly and it turns out the company can officially run without me. I think I feel pretty good about that fact...maybe I should take more vacations.

Unexpectedly, Northwest Riders profited handsomely from the wedding. You'll notice all the sweet packaging in the BLOG photo above. NWR got the gift around the gifts that Sara and I received. Paper, plastic bags, and all sorts of shipping goodness. So just a heads up...if you receive your future order and it has some fancy tissue paper with floral designs or some other frilly protective material you have just unwittingly become a part of my holy matrimonious goodness. So...congratulations!

I look forward to getting the rest of June rolling and am pumped to be back in the office and cranking. We have a LOT on our plate right now. Looking forward to some BIG things this summer. We have some pretty sweet plans and happenings in the works that I can't quite let you all know about just yet...but stay tuned.

Happy Tuesday.

Hitch the Knot and Get the Tie

Wed, Jun 2, 2010

Tomorrow, Thursday the 3rd of June, I will officially become official as I tie the 'ol knot with my fiance. That's right kids...this wise old codger is getting married and will no longer be on the market. I'll pause while you shed a tear or two...

In the short term, I am going to get away from this rain-fest that is the Northwest currently and soak up some sunshine in Barbados...pending any hurricanes of course as the season has just begun there. That means that the Gregster will be handling orders and making sure the ship stays shape while I am away. Good luck my man! I highly suggest that everyone that visits the site places at least 17 orders while I am gone so Greg has plenty to fill his proverbial plate with.

In the long term, I'll be back and charging in the office on June 15th. I'm not entirely sure that qualifies as long term, but it'll have to do. If anyone needs to request anything for orders, has any website related questions, or just wonders why we're not spending all our time twittering it up...give Greg a call or drop him an email. You can get all that info here.

As always, thanks for all the support...please keep it up. Now that I am a family man the bills getting paid takes on a whole new life. See you on the other side.
