03Jul - 11Jul will be spotty -- in the Caribbean for a wedding.

Obviously someone needs to sort out their priorities...

Hey, congrats!

If I hadn't been married in a kilt, barefoot and shorts on the beach would have been my second option. (Or... barefoot and kilted? Damn it... that would have been better.)

Hope it all turns out great! Be sure to plan for "island time". They have a different pace than us in most places.

Congrats Raven...hope you like kettle drums as you'll hear them....a lot! Hopefully your venue they will know more than just Phil Collins Another Day in Paradise!!

I wanted to let you know I will be traveling overseas for the next few weeks. I have my ipad but I don't think I will be able to check in more then once a day. Please feel free to move Strom along if he is slowing the group down but I hope to be able to keep up often enough.

Sorry if its an inconvenience.

No problem. Thanks for letting me know.

Do you know when you'll be returning?

[Computer +1]

I'll be home the end of the month, until then it's all on my iPad. I will be trying my best to stay active the whole time, I enjoy all the games I'm in too much to miss.

...best wishes for a full recovery...

Oh yeah... Sunday-Wednesday I will be roughing it as a parent at scout camp in the mountains. I "Might" get to post a one or two liner, but no rolls, etc. and that is if my phone picks up signal.

If default actions needed... just have Ewell flirt with the women, drink the wine, and kill the badguys.

This. A speedy one at that.

[saalaria]

From me too - best wishes to the missus Stoney.
Only - any LARP while you're out there?!

Uh no... these are 9 year olds more focused on fishing, shooting bbs and archery. I Guess I can tell him that the target is an orc...

[Stonjuz]

Damn funny story about 9 yr olds and BBs.
My kids ran out of BBs, so what did they do?
They got into my toolbox and tore a hole in my $40 Dead Blow Hammer. (for about $0.25 worth of ammo)
Now that they are all grown (youngest is 26 now), I smile at it, but I was mad as hell back then.

[Alethan]

You know you can get a 16oz dead blow for about $15 now?

Fortunately, we bought BBs by the milk carton when we were kids...

[Stonjuz]

Yea, 40 dollars still comes to mind. It may have been less. But it was a big one, and it was a Snap On, so......

If they had only told me they were out of them, ......
