Spleen-did: Round Two

swordmageWar was, bluntly, a blast.
Officially - we were camped in the nebulous form that was centered around Sable Axe - the household a good friend of ours (Bryan/Arion) belongs to. The household is headed by a great Baron and Baroness (one Friedrich (maker of the apple brandy that brings joy, I should add) and his wife Katrina), who were quite fun to be with. Many, many thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reynier for offering the space. There was also Lorelai, and not-quite-attached-but-not-turning-down-pancakes dverning and weavedancer.
I spent the majority of my war it seems either at Troll or down at the rapier field. (Which made sense, as I was surrounded by rapier fighters...) Yeah, I didn't submit all the Troll hours, but still...
domnall (who seems to keep lj around solely for the purposes of lurking/commenting *sigh*) mostly lived at Troll. Primarily, there was no space in the car for his armor. Aside from that, the new helm actually needs to get the holes drilled in it. There's also the small matter of his gorget - which is somewhat warped, and is causing him to worry. (Naturally, this wasn't noticed until after he'd bought it.)
When he goes out on Tuesday nights, I've decided I'll give rapier a shot.
domnall also got to try out his ebelskiver pan again. This time, with the Pumpkin Spiced Pancake Mix (which he bought for the tin, I should add) and apple butter filling. To say they were a hit was an understatement - and people, they'll make an appearance at Estrella, whether you got them or not. We shouldn't be hard to find.
We got everything packed up yesterday at a nice time, and were set to head out before what was looking to be a large and nasty storm. The wind and dust were annoying, but we coped. *grin* Our lot got set, then went to helpraventhourne and posadnik_ivan get everything packed, followed by a woman who was camped near them from Mons. The wind really was getting nasty, and the lighting was pretty. When we hit the flying away popup, I told domnall to stay in the car. The dust seemed to be picking up, and as he was driving, didn't want him to spend the trip hacking. Dust + boy = misery.
Stopped at the Sauce on Oracle/Ina to get dinner before we got home. Called dad, and he joined us, which was nice. Need to upload photos later (even though I didn't get a ton).
Today - I decided to make use of my Dean's Excuse to get one more day of sanity. Going to go into work early and get some extra hours in. Blues Traveler tonight!
