Thunderstorms that rattled the windows most of the night here last night. Rained 6 out of the last 9 days and 70% chance of thunderstorms again today. *sigh*

Not getting much time in the saddle.....

Agreed. Finally the rain has passed. Sucks it is hot and humid, but I will take that over a week plus of rain. At least now I can ride again!

I have some yard work to get done myself, but it will have to wait. Today is my Anniversary so I will be taking the queen of my heart out for dinner tonight.

Hope everyone has a good Monday.

Thanks Sister!

Nice score on the Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale. Sounds like you'll be having a heck of a shindig.

We got rain here last night. Lots of thunder, but not much else. Still, the rain did break the heat a bit and there is a 40% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon. Hopefully they hold off until I get home since I rode today.

Sunny and low 80s here. Can't last I know, but I am enjoying it while it does. :)

So, D*C is a no go for me this year. Daughter's surgery and now a truck repair bill have wiped me out. Seems that Fate has decided I get to set out seeing my 76th family two years in a row. *sigh*

Agreed Sister. Two years now I have had to miss out on seeing my 76th Family at D*C. Just don't seem right.

Hopefully now that the wife has some temp work we can save some coin with the intent of making it to Atlanta in 2014.

So how did the peach custard work out? Sounds interesting.

Pears haven't done so well here this year. Too much rain.

Big Suck in the house. And boy has it been working overtime today. Ugh.

No D*C again this year and as the time of the festivities approaches I feel that same ol' depression setting in.

Welcome Ottoman! While I am not the source for all things 76th; you are most welcome to check out our site and see if it's something you'd be interested in joining. DragonCon in Atlanta is our basic 'home', although some of us have traveled in costume to other 'cons and gatherings. As far as your question about the 'western' front of the Independence war, many of our members have taken the official 'verse map of planets and formulated their own backstories. Take a good look around and you'll see what I mean. Check in with our leaders to learn more about the costumes and 'history' of the 76th...we're a good group of folk who are holding. Hope to see you at some future gatherings.
Browncoat1; I also share in that depression of not being able to make it to DC this year. I am determined to make it next year!!

Welcome Otto! Good to have you here.

Check out the link to our message board for the 76th in my signature line of this post and you will see uniform / kit info for the unit.

The group will be marching in the parade again at Dragon Con in Atlanta next weekend. You can find pics on our site or online if you're interested.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Otto, you should get approved soon, if not, let me know. I know the guy who runs the show. ;)

We'd love for you to put together a kit and represent the 76th. Marching is optional, not mandatory in any way. We have a half dozen or so in the unit that don't make the parade for various reasons or opt to join another costume group for the parade festivities.

If you decide to represent another part of the Independent forces that is okay too. So long as you're out there representing the 'Verse and spreading the word it's all good in our book.
