You can always put on more clothes or snuggle up with someone to get warmer, but there is only so much you can take off before it gets indecent.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Mornin' soldiers! It's another great day to be in the 76th. Ol' Sarge weathered the severe thunderstorms, torrential rains, and even the neighbor's tree wiping out my back fence and littering my yard. Got my work cut out for me this weekend getting it cut up and cleaned up, but I'll just imagine it's a platoon of purplebellies and I should have it whipped in no time.

11 days until I'm on vacation. 13 days until the Vortex Crawl. 15 days until we take Dragon Con, Atlanta, and the 'verse by storm during the parade.

Yep, just saw that (gorram internet's been out at home since the storm Thursday). Sucks, but what can you do. Way I figure it that just frees up more time for me to hang w/ the 76th.

Mornin' troops! 8 days and I am on vacation. 9 days and I am on the road to Atlanta. 10 days until the Vortex Crawl. 12 days until our debut!

10 days until it all begins, 3 until Canter is here, and 4 for Magda. :)

I have thought about bringing a laptop, not sure if I will or not. Pvt. Sigg will probably have his again.

For you procrastinators you're gettin' pretty close to the 11th hour so you might want to get those things you've been puttin' off done to finish out your kit. Make your packing lists and get ready. We've only got 8 days until the Vortex Crawl and 10 days until the parade.

3 more sleeps and I get to meet more of the battalion!!!!!!!!!!!! Wheeee!!!!

Just took a quick peek at the 10 day forecast for Atlanta...Thursday night's low is in the mid-60's which is sounding sooooooooo damn good right now. Where I live in Tennessee, we've had the records broke for longest string of 100+ degree days ever, Hottest August ever in the 157 years of record keeping and DRIEST summer/August ever... just can't stand it much longer...

Lots & lots of extra batteries. If you can swing it Energizer makes a lithium battery specifically for digital cameras that is supposed to last up to seven times longer. Worth the money to make sure your camera doesn't die at the worst time.

That weather outlook is very promising indeed, sister. 60s sound good right now, especially after the string of 100+ days we have had (though we did get a huge rain storm last Friday night.

8 days and we'll be walking to the Vortex. :)

Hope the weather is cooler for you Jimi. We had another heavy rain storm last night. Temp is only supposed to hit 87 today, but the humidity is going back up again. Still cloudy. Reckon it beats 100+ days we were having the last couple of weeks.
