I signed in at 9:10 and met Jerri and Haleigh at the Spice Girls, where the drain hole  on the big water tank had stripped out and the plug would not stay in. The guys ended up taking the tank and trying a quick welding job, but it leaked. I don't know if a less quick welding job would have done better; I don't know anything about welding.

I'm tigertoy on DW. You're welcome to

Armored Gopher Games, my friendly local game store where I've been spending my Friday nights playing magic for the last 5 years or so, is closed. Dave the owner was burned out. Things were supposed to be arranged to sell to the original owners, but the wheels came off the deal at the last minute. Right now we don't know if it can be salvaged, ( Read more... )

Yes it's beautiful

I'm home in one piece from Windycon. Sorry I couldn't stay for more of the dead dog but as tired as I am now, I would not want to still be on the road for sure ( Read more... )
