Miscellaneous Meanderings

Two weeks and a bit since my last post, all with nothing interesting going on. The new work schedule is turning out to be very nice since I got my sleep schedule beaten into submission - more hours equals more money, and the morning shift has turned out to be much more to my liking. Of course, the rest of my life isn't much to brag about at the moment. School is going well - this term is going by VERY quickly - but I'm really ready to graduate and get on with life. Work is boring - hopefully this will change after graduation as well. And my love life is confusing and complicated and possibly driving me insane, but that is something that this blog is definitely not about.

Planning continues for the vardo project; construction should begin this fall after DragonCon and hopefully after the weather starts to cool down a bit. I've located a source for the trailer, and am planning to find someone local with the wood-related tools and skills that I don't have to cut the large, complicated bits. I'll definitely be attempting to order the template set; the assistance from that in dealing with the cutting and especially in the drilling of pilot holes will be well worth the money. Hopefully I'll be able to get in contact with the designer regarding this; otherwise I'll have to start searching for someone who built their own and still has the templates. I'm still pondering some ideas about the interior that I won't be sure about until I see some better pictures than I've found so far; I really want to set the side benches up with storage compartments, and do the same for the bed platform. Should be possible, but I'm still trying to work out the details.

Off to visit the family this weekend and celebrate America in proper style by grilling ot and setting of fireworks. Next weekend is probably a one-day visit to the July Feast SCA event (it's just too wretchedly hot for me to want to mess with state park cabins right now), and later this month is the annual Royal University event. I'll probably hit that for the whole weekend - air conditioned dorms FTW! Cool classes, too.

Anyways, back to the graph paper I go...
