I hope a good time was had by all... I was going to be there, but a friend ended up in the hospital with heart problems (and will be having surgery Monday).

April works best for me, the latter half of May I'm hugely busy with preps for our local Medieval Faire.

I'm coming from the Peninsula, so most anywhere in Seattle is equally inconvenient for me. :001_tongu But Third Place is a cool place, just make sure they don't have any events scheduled against our meetup - it can get pretty crowded when they do.

And after the furor dies down, go ahead and change anyhow.

I have the soapstone ones... at first I loved them, but now I'm finding they leave an odd 'earthy/gritty' taste in my mouth... especially towards the end of a dram.

The first stage of the mold and deckle is now complete, I'll pass it to the papermaker tomorrow for her part of the work, then it comes back to me for final assembly. Also, the guinea pig cage project is off the table... The pig we were looking at has behavioral issues, and after SWMBO and I...

My new Semogue boar didn't have much scent to it either.... I guess it's like Turtle says, some people are more sensitive than others.

That's one fine lookin' lady Max. Here's a recent pic of our girls; That's Rose in front, Sarah on left, and Molly in the back. More on our piggies at my Live Journal.

On the workbench today - cut and mostly machined some mahogany for a mold and deckle frame that I'm making for a papermaking friend. I also did a trial assembly of an inkle loom that I'm making for the LOML. (Now if I could just find the router bit that I bought to cut the tension adjuster...

Boat anchor for a very small boat?

Howdy! Elde checking in from the Great Pacific Northwet. After seven years of caching, I've only got 250 caches, but I concentrate on quality over quantity. I use Garmin GPS Map 60 CSx, and we've gone paperless with the Geocaching iPhone app. (It really has changed our game for the better.)

Well, there's the usual round of SCA events, plus we normally do quite a bit of geocaching too. The LOML is the boss accountant for a motorcycle/powersports dealership and warmer weather is their busy season, so it's very hard for her to get any significant time off. Our big trips are usually...
