Well I've dug out my Hirst Arts Castleworks molds and have gotten them cleaned up. I'm going to need a LOT of blocks. I might get a few more "Basic Block" molds since I'll be needing more of them than anything thing else. With multiple molds I can make a lot of blocks at once and not have to wait until they are hard enough to unmold to make the next batch. Skywise approves of the project which is a good thing considering the projected size of the finished castle... [Something in the neighborhood of 6 feet x 10 feet, if I recall correctly. I have NO idea how tall the Keyholder's Tower will be since I added a few floors to it....] Might need to build a special "display" building for it....

*Yawn* Morning!
Skywise has a dental appointment this morning then we're FINALLY done running to the dentist until the next round starts in February! Smiley Cool and humid this morning. We had a good rain yesterday. It was off and on and gentle so it soaked in instead of running off.
My dreams were fairly intense and weird -- that's all I can remember which is aggravating.
Need tea and a bite before I go to face the day.
Later.

Back from errands.
Got "downpoured" on while in town. I'm like a cat in that I hate to get rained on! [Among my other catlike characterists!]  I picked up a "tool box" to store my CastleMolds and equipment in. Much better protection for the expensive molds and much easier to find than the box they are currently in.
Hmm.....Now that we're home, the sun is coming out! Go figure. Oh well, I still have to get water hauled up to the Guest House. I'm going to cool off and then take care of that. Plus laundry.
And I spoke too soon about being though with dental appointments. Skywise needs a filling so back we go on the 5th. *sigh* THEN, we should be done!
Later.

Making headway. It's taking a long time to dry stuff because of the humidity but I will push on!
Going to start dinner soon.
Ah.. back to work. Later.

Morning!
Busy day today. Gotta get the last few things done before Nike arrives in approximately 26 hours, 20 minutes (if her flight is on time!) so I'd better get moving! Catch ya later!

The Guest House is squared away and the Hall is in pretty good shape too. I'm getting ready to start dinner after which I'll get the kitchen cleaned up.

17 hours, 10 minutes and counting......

With the exception of the pile of laundry on the bed, everything that's going to get done tonight is done. Plus, I washed my hair late as it is. It won't be styled but at least it will be clean!

13 hours, 40 minutes and counting....

Getting ready to head out. Touched base with Nike and everything is "good to go!"  Hermes willing, she'll be landing at Indianapolis International in about 12 hours and 25 minutes! YES!!! I probably won't be posting much between now and Sunday afternoon (Nike flies home Sunday morning.) but I'll be popping in to check on things from time to time.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Morning! About to head out for the airport to pick up Nike. [1 hour, 40 minutes and counting!] We'll have lunch after that and be back sometime this afternoon.

Everyone have a great day! Smiley

We're back!
We went into town to eat and I'm entirely TOO stuffed! I'm going to have SO much work to do when the vacation over! Weight training starts the first Monday in October. Right now, I'm gonna go "digest!"
Later.

I've been working on the final, definitive floorplan of the castle while Nike roamed the web. I know fanboys/girls and when the Castle novels generate the kind of fandom I want, there will be "nitpickers" who will find any and all goofs I may make so I need to get my ducks in a row and my cats herded up before anything hits the bookshelves. Hence, the careful mapmaking! Right now though, I'm heading for bed. We're going to the King Tut exhibit tomorrow -- finally! -- and we're going to get an early start!

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Morning!
We're getting ready to head out. It's raining, fortunately once we get in the museum's parking garage we will be protected from the elements since the skywalk connecting the garage and the museum goes right into the Welcome Center. (It used to go down into the plaza and part of it was "open air.")
It'll be afternoon before we're back so everyone have a great day. Smiley

Yes, we've been home for several hours.
Yes, the exhibit was magnificent.
Nike has been using the computer while I crashed. Now she's done and I'm here while the pizza dough rises.
It was very humbling to stand in front of statuary that was carved over 3,000 years ago. NOT reproductions but the genuine articles. There are no words to describe the feeling so I won't try. I'm just glad that we got to go..
I'm making Nike a copy of Book 1 to take home with her. Better get back at it.
Later.

Morning!  Smiley
It's another rainy one here this morning. Fortunately, we don't have much planned for today. Spirit has suggested that we go to Floral Gulch for lunch and a little shopping so we'll probably do that later but aside from watching Smallville tonight, that's it for plans.
Gonna head out and and see what's happening.
Later.

Evening!
We went to Floral Gulch for lunch and did a little snooping around. Dinner is cooking and Smallville starts in a little less than an hour. All is good!

Smallville was good. Looks to be an interesting season.
Tomorrow is Nike's last full day here, she flies home on Sunday morning, so we are going to be out and about for at least a good part of the morning.

Everyone sleep well and be safe! Smiley Smiley

Last full day of Nike. *wail!!!* We'll be heading out for our "final fling" soon.
I'll check in later.
Bye!

We're back for the evening and things are winding down. Nike leaves in the morning.  This visit was shorter than usual but we all needed it and....WE GOT TO SEE THE TUT  EXHIBIT together which is a very good thing!

I found two books that I'd been waiting for at Borders today and got them and found two more in the mail box when we got home. Unfortunately, one is going to have to be returned -- the seller has already been sent an email to that effect! -- since while the cover of the book I received is that of the book I ordered, the book inside is some drivel about the Revelation of St. John!
Smiley Smiley Smiley Most definitely NOT what I ordered! So back it goes on Monday and the seller had better not give me any lip about taking the charge off of my card! I've already ordered another copy from another seller. Here's hoping that it has the right book inside the covers!
Nike will be leaving in about 25 hours... *sigh* Vacations are too short....
Later.
