Summarizing from FacePlant posts and my Day-Timer.  Going bullet-points for organizing purposes, chronologically. Last post appears to have been via Blackberry. tl:dr will be behind cut.

• Back @ War on Wednesday evening, last week.
• Gun class Thursday, shooting version. Class went well, aside from my not finding out that they'd changed the listing to " ( Read more... )

I'd been in a car accident on the way into work.   Stopped by the shop today, and picked up my fixed-up wheels.  Big shout-outs are due, here, to GEICO and Mastercraft Auto Body in Manassas Park.

This means, of course, that I'm going to be packing and loading till late tonight, and starting early tomorrow.  The plan is to take heavy stuff, and non ( Read more... )

... Leading up to a quiet week @ work.  Most of our staff will be in Seattle for the organization's convention.  Meanwhile, A. and I actually had a more eventful 3rd than 4th.   We had a couple of friends down for dinner, which of course sent her into a frenzy of preparation.  I did straightening, cleaning, and marination of London Broil, and she ( Read more... )

First off,  joining in the chorus of W00Tness.  I can't wait to see Mayor Daley, aka King Richard II, have an apoplectic fit.

Saturday was great.  Good fighting at Stierbach's Birthday event, and we were spared the sight of Axel in a loincloth :-D :-D :-D.  No heat injuries, and the most Chirurgery I  had to do was supervise a 'prentice with  a ( Read more... )

Somewhat distracted by FacePlant, but also let the length of catch-up trigger procrastination...

Anyway, last actual post was from the Ordinary at Henricus, via tethered Blackberry. Let's see...

• Highland River Melees:  Fun, but wet. And humid. And hot. Dispensed lots of water. Also had my no-chirurgical-paperwork streak broken :-b.  Was going to ( Read more... )

Weekend:  Had a blast at Henricus (in one case, literally - got to crew a cannon).  After my post on Sunday morning, got over to the hospital and had a reprise of Saturday's fun.  Had to pack the car in a pop-up thunderstorm. The goofy thing was, a half-hour later things cleared up, and  I drove home in sunshine. Go figure.

Monday was mostly rest, ( Read more... )

This being one of those hellacious long posts, putting the bits behind cuts. Going in roughly-chronological order:

( Defending the Gate )

Got down to Williamsburg a bit after 2000, and went straight to Jamestown. Checked in at the Settlement, dropped my gear in the Fort. Nobody around, so came and checked in to the hotel.  Got the garb laid out, ready to hop out of the rack smartly tomorrow AM.

Headdesk moment of the week @ work was one of our members calling, Tuesday. She'd ( Read more... )

My usual when I have a long one. Stuff behind cuts to spare your friendslist.  Today's (well, yesterday, it's 10 minutes into Thursday) interesting note came to me as I was trying to get into work. You know you work in DC when (a) a bomb threat is a legitimate excuse for being late, and (b) they don't put bomb threats in a special alert on the ( Read more... )

And another long-@$$ catch-up post.  Let's see, been over a week.
