<DIV><FONT size=2>From the Autocrat of Defender of the Fort :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>We've had a very productive workday at The Stones already
this weekend. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Many thanks to the "haul it around" crew, Alaric, Tareija,
Plachoya, the ever present Runa and that Marius person. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The water tower has been moved to a less intrusive
spot. Now the first thing you see when you come on site is NOT a
plastic holding tank. The tower looks like it was made for it new spot
on the far side of the storeroom. The ugly plastic barrels can still be
strapped to the tower between events, but now they are hidden behind the
storeroom. Who knows, we could even install a drain hose on the sink so
the water can be routed to some place besides your feet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>All the odds and ends around the kitchen has been
moved away so the area now has an uncluttered look and easy access to all the
windows. The small smoker style bbq pits have been moved away and setup
so they can be used at anytime. The unattached sink has been moved, but
not set in a useable place yet. We are going to try to set up a
hose for a water tower feed that allows easy access to the kitchen
itself. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The dais used for the Noble presence at feast has been moved
to under the shady pines behind the kitchen. We will set up the tables
in a Semi-circle so more of the populace can hear what is going on in
court. With the water tower gone and the kitchen cleaned up, the Royals
should have a pleasant, unrestricted view of the listfield.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The Barony's long wooden benches have been set up under the
big oak in Raven's Fort central in preparation for the Pelican Circle.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The site is really starting to look great !!!!! Again,
many thanks to everyone that has helped along the way. Jalali, Latham,
Giovanna, Pace, Brian, Saint David and whoever I left out. I know there
were a few more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>We are in very good shape, but there is till a bit to
do. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Today I will be concentrating on hauling the brush that has
been already cut to the bonfire. If someone shows up with a generator I
would cut more in the Equestrian area. One more good day's work would
have the area cleared completely. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The Stones still need to be reset. That of course
should be an on going project. If more than one person is on site, and
there is time, the cap stones that the cows knock off should be reset.
It is an issue of Baronial pride. The Stones should never look as
they do right now. If we tend to them it will not take such a major
effort as it will this time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>You are also welcome to work on your own campsites.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>And coming up the first two weekends in September, lawn
mowers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>See you on site.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Peace,</FONT></DIV>
