[Hivemind] Oh Where, Oh Where has my Hivemind gone?

[orchid blossom]

I'm here at the moment. We're back in town after the Ren Faire yesterday. Nice day, but a long drive and very tiring.

 

[megamania]

'allo. Finished a segment for one of my story hours just now and figured I would look around before returning to my Eberron book. How are things going? It seems so quiet here.

 

[Crothian]

ah...lazy sunday...no gaming...this is just odd

 

[orchid blossom]

I keep thinking it's Saturday. I have tomorrow off, and since we were out of town yesterday Ao has gone out to his parents to do what he usually does on Saturdays. I'm going to messed up for at least a week.

 

[Crothian]

I understand...we moived gaming from Sundays to Saturdays and it will be wierd to have 2 days off after gaming....

 

[Ao the Overkitty]

blah. Chores blah.

Got to rig up something to keep a raccoon or snake or some such critter out of the duck run at my folk's house. One had dug its way under the enclosure to steal some eggs. My solution involved 12 cinder blocks, some chicken wire, and a couple of posts.

 

[Crothian]

if you can rig a thumper, like they used in Dune to summon the worms, that will keep Snakes away. they don't like the vibrations through te earth.

Well, dishes are done, trash is emptied, clothes are washed and being dryed. Not much energy today....

 

[Ao the Overkitty]

Oh. snakes aren't a problem. We actually have a guard snake of sorts living in the duck run. He sleeps in one of the cinder blocks and made his little tunnel there. Sometimes he'll stand straight up so that he can look all around from inside his cinder block. He's cute. The ducks and the goose are more likely to eat him than he is to eat them or their eggs.

It is the raccoons and skunks that are a problem. The raccoons haven't tried pulling a duck through the fence in a while, though that is probably because the stupid have gotten picked off already. Whenever they find a way into the enclosure, we do our best to seal it up. This time they actually dug a long way through the ground. My folks had put a bunch of unused cages over the area and filled in the tunnel.

I moved the cages, put the chicken wire over top of the area and weighed it down with the cinder blocks. Then I hammered six posts into the ground along the fence to make tunneling through difficult.

Technically, I should be sleeping now, but in searching for a specific setting search thread, I stumbled across this one instead again. I had trouble to not laugh out into the night!

In case the thread gets deleted soon, visit this site.

Ashardalon is a stick of chewing gum that chirps and whistles, explodes when dropped and doesn't take no for an answer.

heh he:

Sir Osis of Liver is a necklace that has been featured in Star Trek, emits heat and chirps and whistles.


or more the more interesting/ironic:

Sir Osis is a breathalyser that can play chess!


That thing is a hoot.
