[Bordermarch] Sort of Important News!

[Lathrop, Dave]

Unto the good people of Bordermarch,

I am now fluctuating all over due to the much anticipated forthcoming Populace meeting this Thursday.
I originally had a plan, but forgot what it was, nonetheless, I shall carry on despite this minor setback.

I've ordered some new burners for a new gas forge I'm building. The guy who builds these burners builds them for NASA.
It ought to be interesting to see how hot they get.

If you be interested in building a small gas forge for blacksmithing or metal casting like the one at our A&S Day gathering, let me know and we'll set-up a time to knock one out.

HE Elisabeth and I will be attending the B&B get-together in Hillsborough this weekend: I shall do my best to defend everyone's honor whilst there. This year we have penciled in time to swim with the fresh water mullet that reside in the drainage ditch behind the Hotel. Unless I've misunderstood things, this will fulfill one of my Love Muffin's life-long wishes.

HE Elisabeth is in the process of making stuff.

The A&S Day Loquat Jelly is good on processed meat.

I will be bringing some stabilized wood to show off at Populace tomorrow, and challenge anyone to bring something more interesting than that!
I stabilized the wood in a vacuum chamber filled with liquid wood hardener. The vacuum sucks all the moisture out of the wood's cells and replaces it with the wood hardener.
Once the wood is stabilized it is pretty much waterproof, and can be used for some really spiffy knife handles!

Maybe Lord Phocas will bring one of his beehives for a little show-tell during Populace.

Lord Sewallis De Shirley is learning how to play the guitar, and Lord Thomas Peregrine already knows how to dance, perhaps we can encourage them with encouraging words to form some kind of performance Guild or something.

When I recently suggested "Thirteen Steppes to Becoming a Ninja Master" for our next movie night, I was kindly told to buzz-off.
Our last Movie Night was really a lot of fun, and I wish to thank everyone for showing up!

HE Santiago
