[Ravensfort] The Stones site / water

Fri Mar 25 00:16:36 PDT 2011

Heilsa all...

My thanks as well to all that assisted in providing water for the event site...'tis a needful thing...!

However, "not for drinking"...? Are you saying that the water is from an unsanitary source...??!
If this is the case it needs to be dumped and water from a sanitary source obtained...
You don't want to be held liable for providing unsafe water that children might drink...
I'm just sayin'... 

Ja...the site almost always looks good this time of year...that whole "beauty of Springtide" thing you know...
Looking forward to the event... I'll certainly use as much of the dead fall for firewood as I can...I know that 
between myself and Brian we have worn out two chainsaw chains cutting on it...

I must agree with the idea of clearing out the disasters of the past...
Making a fresh start with a Barony ready to face the future of the "new" SCA...
I applaud the coming Investiture of Pasquale and Giovanna...! I can think of only two other people that
might have been as good a choice...but, all things being equal...I'm damned pleased with the choice the Crown made.

I am also happy to announce that I will be taking a more active part in the Barony that HE Alix and I founded.
While I am still traveling quite a bit for my business...and am taking part in many Kingdom and other Group's
activities...I find that a renewed sense of optimism has revitalized my joy of playing in the SCA...

To that end...Haus Kiersted is growing...now with members in 3 Kingdoms, including new Squires, Proteges, 
and Men-at-Arms...! As well, my membership in Clan Archaic Thunder of the Federated Clans of Rolling Thunder 
has given me a broader base of good folk to achieve many goals as well as finish some long term projects...

I do wish you the best on your new home...and agree that it is a pain to have to re-do everything
because of errors...  I, too, am looking forward to plenty of good reveling in Honor
of the new Baron and Baroness of Ravens Fort...I will raise a horn high and ask
those that I hold Holy to guide them and give them the wisdom and patience it
takes to rule the Crown's Lands with Justice and Equality...and a firm hand.

The Pelican's Circle will be early Saturday in the presence of the Crown and the Crown Heirs... I feel that this event
will be a showcase for the skills and talents of all those that have worked so hard to make the Barony grow stronger
and larger...

Once again, I wish to thank everyone that has worked so hard to make this Investiture a success...with especial note of Mirabelis as 
Event Steward and with pride in my Protege...Marie de Meaux, Feast Steward...for doing a tough job over long distances in
spite of the obstacles life has placed in her path.

Hail those that Do...!

Wæs Þu Hæl in TroÞ and FriÞ...!

Sir Kief, Baron Ravens Fort

"Better the Hammer than the nail..."

I was finally able to get onto the site yesterday 
to fill water containers for our event.
There are four hundred plus gallons above the showers
( many thanks to Zorc, DSD and Michelle for their 
help in relocating the tower to the shower area ) 
and two hundred gallons plus behind the kitchen.
This should be more than enough for the weekend.
Remember, this water is NOT for drinking.
If humans are going to consume water 
it should come from a more sanitary source.

There are no barrels in my trailer this time. 
Perhaps someone might volunteer to put a barrel 
or two in their pickup as fire protection.

The Stones site looks pretty good.
The grass is still somewhat short and very green.
There are little flowers popping up everywhere.
Dead fall litters the ground under the trees,
but the open fields are clear and clean.
The only thing that really looks bad 
is the rotting Dreaming Tree.
Even though there is no scheduled event 
for the site in the next few months,
I would suggest that we make an effort
to remove this eye-sore in the VERY near future. 
We could do it all in one day.
This weekend marks a transition in our Barony.
Cleaning up the disasters of our past will give us 
a chance to clear our minds of the decay 
that we have lived with for so long.
A fresh start and a fresh ordered look.
This of course is not my call, 
simply my suggestion for a better tomorrow.

I will not get to the site until late Friday and Saturday evenings.
These will be first two days of framing on our new home.
Our builder has requested that I be around 
to answer any questions that may arise.
Better to do it right the first time, rather than rip out and re-do.
I look forward to seeing you all for some late night 
celebrations and libations.

Peace,
Volod NotVlad
