It's been a while...

So I'm still here after all. Yay me!

Life continues as usual. I'm still bulldozing through school, and the graduation-shaped light at the end of the tunnel grows ever closer. In the very near future I'll be sending out resumes and beginning the serious job hunt...

This summer has been a whole lot of nothing, generally. It's been too wretchedly hot to go to SCA events, and the spare cash for fencing gear has been terribly elusive. Next month should clear that up, though, and as it turns out the Thorngill fighter practice isn't prohibitively far away. In the meantime, unless the weather sucks I'll be doing a daytrip to Red Tower next Saturday; I lost track of time and didn't manage to get a full weekend reservation in, but it's the 20th anniversary of my first event and I'm certainly not missing out on that!

Planning for the vardo project has really picked up over the last week or so. Right now I'm planning on assembling the materials in November and spending the first couple of weekends in December doing all the assembly other than putting the roof layers on, and setting up the wiring for the RV park hookup and internal lighting and outlet.. A few weekends after that should let me deal with the basic painting and decoration, and sanding and varnishing the interior bows and runners. Then the roof can go on and by late February (freezy freezy cold!) everything should be ready for a pre-Gulf War shakedown cruise.
