Party party party... not not not

At 12:30am, we have finished the last major machine seams on the roof of the second tent. Yay to that. Pinning went well with B5 episodes... I am carefully avoiding starting the next episode, given Anne Sheridan just entered the room: too much to do tommorrow.

And after the SBS Friday night doco, I am very happy I do not live in Texas. I wonder how some of the astronomers cope in that sort of stultifying coservative place, althogh admittedly the main observatory and Uni group are based in Austin. Sex education is rather useful and abstinence only programs really don't work well... and very definitely do not have safety nets built in. There is the little bit of me which is curious to know how some of them would handle the civil union concept but I suspect I am just to burn in Hell for all eternity. At least I will be in good company.

Site prep (what, again....?)

There is currently a waterproofed tent sitting on the St Floz site. And I have hands which smell of beeswax, lanolin and turpentine. We are leaving the tent to air overnight... The other site project for today was Z doing a survey to map out the St Floz area. Lots of ropes and pacing while I was getting high on the waterproofing. Finished that a bit late to start on the concreting of the shower base, so that is tommorrow's task.

And then I got to 4-wheel drive around the site, out to the war field and then out past the Guild Hall onto Sheldrake Drive. That was fun. Trundle trundle trundle:) More practice tommorrow.

Based on the grass length around the fire pit, the set up weekend before Festival will definitely involve wandering around with some form of weed whacker. Death to dry grass.

Now I think a shower and change of clothes are in order...
