Heilsa all...<br><br>Panicking...? *laughter* Don't be silly...why in the world would anyone panic...?<br><br>No worries... I'll drink the water from the tower and barrels...if they were cleaned as I remember <br>they always were before filling there should be no problems... I was just mentioning that by stating<br>the water was from a less than sanitary source (any source) there could be liability involved.<br><br>I also filled those barrels and the tank on the tower for many years...from my well at first and then <br>other sources...never been a problem to my knowledge either...<br><br>Yeah, I'm a fairly self sufficient camper myself...<br><br>Ja...boycotts need to be avoided, they are counter-productive and cost the Barony much in terms of <br>membership and goodwill... 'Tis a real shame that anyone would ever do that... As for banishments, <br>when people take things too far (and some people always do) there can be unfortunate results... Still, <br>the positive side of banishments is that people's true colors are shown to the populace...I've always found <br>that to be enlightening...<br><br>In any case, I've always stated that you were one of the hardest working people in the Barony and that <br>can't be denied nor refuted, you have worked long and hard both publicly and behind the scenes... As far <br>as the best interests of the membership of Ravens Fort, I have always had that in mind... After all, it is my <br>home...and has been since I joined the SCA back in 1984...<br><br>I feel that with the Investiture of Their-soon-to-be-Excellencies Pasquale and Giovanna they will but add to <br>the legacy, the Saga, of our unbroken line of successful Barons and Baronesses since those heady days of the <br>First Investiture... That fact makes me smile... <br><br>To that end...I swear that I will do all in my power to make their Reign as B&B as peaceful and trouble free <br>as I possibly can... After all...given my Oath of Fealty to the Crown of Ansteorra...I needs must keep my <br>obligation to the folk in Ravens Fort and in Ansteorra intact and without blemish...<br><br>I am truly looking forward to a wonderful and totally successful event... It will be a testament to the strength <br>and ability of the denizens of the Barony Ravens Fort...<br><br><br>Wæs Þu Hæl in TroÞ and FriÞ...!

<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...!

<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>
