<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The water is from Baron Brian's
well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>I have partaken of the water straight
from the hose.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>It has satisfied my thrust on many
occasions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>However, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>personally, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>I would not drink from any of the
towers </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>or barrels on site </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>and I have stated so plainly
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>in all of the event announcements
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>that I have produced </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>for years and years.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>I have showered from the
barrels.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>I have washed out dirty dishes from the
tower,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>but I rewash at home.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>As far as I know</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>the water has not killed anyone
yet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Panicking </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>and dumping the water </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>many not be the answer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>But, you do what you want.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>I am a self-sufficient camper
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>and do not need the water.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>I fill the tanks as a service for
others.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>To not have to do it would be a
wonderful change.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>If you do empty them I would suggest
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>removing the mushroom from the tower
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>so it does not blow off in a high
wind.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>As for new faces in Raven's Fort,
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>I welcome anyone </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>that holds good will and
intent toward </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>all of the members of our
Barony.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Only when all of our Baronial family
feels secure </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>can we obtain the lofty goal of
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>living the dream as it should have
been.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Without that we could easily fall into
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>banishments and boycotts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Nobody wants that for our beloved
Barony </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>or any of its populace.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>So let new faces come </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>to share in the work </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>and in the good times.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>And let each be judged by their
actions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Heilsa all...<BR><BR>My thanks as well to all that assisted in
providing water for the event site...'tis a needful thing...!<BR><BR>However,
"not for drinking"...? Are you saying that the water is from an unsanitary
source...??!<BR>If this is the case it needs to be dumped and water from a
sanitary source obtained...<BR>You don't want to be held liable for providing
unsafe water that children might drink...<BR>I'm just sayin'...
<BR><BR>Ja...the site almost always looks good this time of year...that whole
"beauty of Springtide" thing you know...<BR>Looking forward to the event...
I'll certainly use as much of the dead fall for firewood as I can...I know
that <BR>between myself and Brian we have worn out two chainsaw chains cutting
on it...<BR><BR>I must agree with the idea of clearing out the disasters of
the past...<BR>Making a fresh start with a Barony ready to face the future of
the "new" SCA...<BR>I applaud the coming Investiture of Pasquale and
Giovanna...! I can think of only two other people that<BR>might have been as
good a choice...but, all things being equal...I'm damned pleased with the
choice the Crown made.<BR><BR>I am also happy to announce that I will be
taking a more active part in the Barony that HE Alix and I founded.<BR>While I
am still traveling quite a bit for my business...and am taking part in many
Kingdom and other Group's<BR>activities...I find that a renewed sense of
optimism has revitalized my joy of playing in the SCA...<BR><BR>To that
end...Haus Kiersted is growing...now with members in 3 Kingdoms, including new
Squires, Proteges, <BR>and Men-at-Arms...! As well, my membership in Clan
Archaic Thunder of the Federated Clans of Rolling Thunder <BR>has given me a
broader base of good folk to achieve many goals as well as finish some long
term projects...<BR><BR>I do wish you the best on your new home...and agree
that it is a pain to have to re-do everything<BR>because of errors... I,
too, am looking forward to plenty of good reveling in Honor<BR>of the new
Baron and Baroness of Ravens Fort...I will raise a horn high and ask<BR>those
that I hold Holy to guide them and give them the wisdom and patience
it<BR>takes to rule the Crown's Lands with Justice and Equality...and a firm
hand.<BR><BR>The Pelican's Circle will be early Saturday in the presence of
the Crown and the Crown Heirs... I feel that this event<BR>will be a showcase
for the skills and talents of all those that have worked so hard to make the
Barony grow stronger<BR>and larger...<BR><BR>Once again, I wish to thank
everyone that has worked so hard to make this Investiture a success...with
especial note of Mirabelis as <BR>Event Steward and with pride in my
Protege...Marie de Meaux, Feast Steward...for doing a tough job over long
distances in<BR>spite of the obstacles life has placed in her
path.<BR><BR>Hail those that Do...!<BR><BR>Wæs Þu Hæl in TroÞ and FriÞ...!
<BR><BR>Sir Kief, Baron Ravens Fort<BR><BR>"Better the Hammer than the
nail..." <BR><BR>=========<BR><BR><BR><BR>

water<BR><BR>
<STYLE>
</STYLE>
<DIV>I was finally able to get onto the site yesterday </DIV>
<DIV>to fill water containers for our event.</DIV>
<DIV>There are four hundred plus gallons above the showers</DIV>
<DIV>( many thanks to Zorc, DSD and Michelle for their </DIV>
<DIV>help in relocating the tower to the shower area ) </DIV>
<DIV>and two hundred gallons plus behind the kitchen.</DIV>
<DIV>This should be more than enough for the weekend.</DIV>
<DIV>Remember, this water is NOT for drinking.</DIV>
<DIV>If humans are going to consume water </DIV>
<DIV>it should come from a more sanitary source.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are no barrels in my trailer this time. </DIV>
<DIV>Perhaps someone might volunteer to put a barrel </DIV>
<DIV>or two in their pickup as fire protection.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Stones site looks pretty good.</DIV>
<DIV>The grass is still somewhat short and very green.</DIV>
<DIV>There are little flowers popping up everywhere.</DIV>
<DIV>Dead fall litters the ground under the trees,</DIV>
<DIV>but the open fields are clear and clean.</DIV>
<DIV>The only thing that really looks bad </DIV>
<DIV>is the rotting Dreaming Tree.</DIV>
<DIV>Even though there is no scheduled event </DIV>
<DIV>for the site in the next few months,</DIV>
<DIV>I would suggest that we make an effort</DIV>
<DIV>to remove this eye-sore in the VERY near future. </DIV>
<DIV>We could do it all in one day.</DIV>
<DIV>This weekend marks a transition in our Barony.</DIV>
<DIV>Cleaning up the disasters of our past will give us </DIV>
<DIV>a chance to clear our minds of the decay </DIV>
<DIV>that we have lived with for so long.</DIV>
<DIV>A fresh start and a fresh ordered look.</DIV>
<DIV>This of course is not my call, </DIV>
<DIV>simply my suggestion for a better tomorrow.</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I will not get to the site until late Friday and Saturday evenings.</DIV>
<DIV>These will be first two days of framing on our new home.</DIV>
<DIV>Our builder has requested that I be around </DIV>
<DIV>to answer any questions that may arise.</DIV>
<DIV>Better to do it right the first time, rather than rip out and
re-do.</DIV>
<DIV>I look forward to seeing you all for some late night </DIV>
<DIV>celebrations and libations.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Peace,</DIV>
