The August Airsoft game is history with only whelps, cuts, scrapes, bruses, poison ivy, poison oak, mosquito bites, chigger bites, and with me at least the lingering memory of 29 yellow jacket stings to remember it by.

The games had 20 players and went from about 3 pm to around midnight. Players came from Huntsville (7), Birmingham (1), Anniston (5), Ashville (1), Pell City (2) (all in Alabama), and Pennsicola Flordia (4). Broken weapons were the rule of the day! Toasted batteries, stripped gears, blown fuses and leaking gas valves were some of the fun highlights.

Appletinnes and cigars were enjoyied after setting up camp on Friday evening thanks to Lord Leatherhead.

During the games gallons of water and other liquids were consumed.

Thursday afternoon I decided to bushhog the main camping and playing areas and after getting that done started cutting in the dry lakebed. Was finishing up the last row when the little bastards got me. I suspect that there were quite a few that were killed by the bush hog and that the odor of those were what cause the others to attack with such vigor. They got me on the face, hands, arms, head and back. Hands and face were the worse but as of today (sunday) almost all the swelling and soreness is gone. Total of 29 swellings were counted. Bill counted 12 in one area on my back and under my right arm. Pics of my face are coming as soon as I can get them from Cat.

And now that it is Friday of the following week. I just found this in the saved instead of published bin and will now try once again to hit publish…

I think. Maybe.

Anyway, Bill, Cat, and I got Cat’s old 21 foot camper/trailer moved to a new site across the creek to use as a kitchen and office. Planning on adding some wood and caulk and tarps to make 2 - 10 x 20 patios, one on either side. We are gonna add the tarps and other things today (Friday), or that’s the plan. Hoping to get the wasps out of the camper and start cleaning and moving stuff as needed as soon as it starts cooling off some.

Plan is to cook supper for the pickup game Saturday night. Will be buffet style with a single donation for all you can eat. Basic menu is looking like: Hamburgers, Hotdogs, Pork or Beef Roast, Bread, Buns, Condiments, Baked beans, Potato Onion Pepper Baked dish, Chips, and whatever else. Drinks will be sodas, tea, and maybe coffee.

Now if I just have the energy to get some more done…

Pericles Hardware (2) - Bobulate

Well I thought the hard drive in my iBook had gone tits up 3 different times now. Each time I let it and the iBook cool off and everything started working fine again. Keep waiting for it to go out completely but so far seems fine. After cooling off. And I’m not sure that it is the drive. After some of the things I have seen I am suspecting the power supply instead.

“WARP FACTOR LOVE” free music video for your ipod or psp - Google Video

This link from Steve (and a belated thanks to Steve for sending it!) early in the week started the Trek theme it seems. Just now getting to posting it as it came in on the iBook and I haven’t been using it since I got my 19″ flat screen monitor for the linux box. Must post about that too…

Techdirt: Group Behind Biased Online Alcohol Survey Drunk On Misinformation

Sounds like these folks are following the White Houses lead in “bending” the facts to fit what they want to find. Idiots, all of them!

Wireless in the Himalayas

There are some interesting pictures about the wireless setup as well as of the country it is being installed in. However the picture that the above link points to is of a sign that has me wondering. Hand lettered and advertises a Cyber Cafe - that has an ATTACHED TOILED and is 100 mts. AHead. I am assuming that the toiled is a toilet but what is the mts.? Is that Meters? or Mountains? or neither?
