[20:04] [Owlhawk] Last one for me might have been on the commordore 64 [20:05] What is civ? [20:05] LOL [20:05] Civilization … V in my case [20:05] it's a turn based strategic computer game where you try to take over the world [20:05] [Owlhawk] It's a building empire from scrach and conquer the world game [20:05] A world-building/exploration/war/research game. [20:05] Wouldn't it be more fun to do that IRL? [20:05] take over the world I mean. ;) [20:05] Conquer the world? [20:06] [Owlhawk] I'm told I'm not allowed to conquer the world [20:06] lool [20:06] Gotta run. [20:06] Ttyl. [20:06] [Owlhawk] At least according to the wife and the parents... [20:06] Bye ErinP [20:06] Ok Erin, have a good night [20:06] Why not Owlhawk? [20:06] LOL Owl [20:07] [Owlhawk] I'm not sure.....I think I'd be a great world dictator! [20:07] Step 1: Take over the world. Step 2: Install ADF as the official world religion. [20:08] [Owlhawk] Well, after the executions.... [20:08] That goes without saying... [20:08] [Owlhawk] tonights movie....Conan 2011 or Spirit of Albion?? [20:09] Albion! [20:09] I love Spirit of Albion! [20:09] me too .. I was so happy when it was available for download! I lost my DVD =( [20:09] I don't think I know that one. [20:09] [Owlhawk] I've watched it a few times. I haven't found it for download yet. I"ve been able to stream it only [20:10] [Owlhawk] It's well worth watching Rob. Modern paganism movie, from pagans. [20:10] [Owlhawk] based on some of Damh the bards work [20:10] *** Sheena (Mibbit@533ea1e7.cg.5eb2c41d.net.hmsk) has joined #adf [20:10] http://www.thespiritofalbionthemovie.com/ [20:11] *** ErinP (Mibbit@36921445.dsl.282eb7d8.ca.hmsk) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [20:11] Online version: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/9093 [20:11] I paid for it so Vimeo will let me download it [20:12] [Owlhawk] I'm eventually going to order the dvd. rare for me to do that with a movie [20:12] m [20:12] Someone posted the trailer in my Facebook news feed before it was released so I pre-ordered it before it even came out. [20:13] I've not heard of it either [20:13] I'll have to watch it [20:13] The music is all by Damh the Bard and it's pretty cool. [20:13] It's basically the music of Damh the Bard come to life in modern times. [20:13] Yeah Brendan, I pre-ordered [20:13] The same folks are doing more videos too. I need to track them down [20:14] Tales of Albion right Victoria-Leona? [20:14] Yeh, I think that was the series name [20:14] [Owlhawk] it's still in production last I checked this fall [20:14] ahhh .. cool [20:15] *** Sheena (Mibbit@533ea1e7.cg.5eb2c41d.net.hmsk) has quit IRC [Client Quit] [20:16] *** ErinP (Mibbit@36921445.dsl.282eb7d8.ca.hmsk) has joined #adf [20:16] The soundtrack from the film is available on iTunes and on Amazon as a digital download. I keep it on the Amazon Music app on my phone. [20:16] I have it on my kindle … got it from Amazon as a digital download [20:16] so … since we are talking about Pagan movies/music .. what other pagan music or movies do folks like? [20:17] Damh the Bard, Cernunnos Rising, and Inkubus Sukkubus are my faves for Pagan music. [20:17] *** ErinP (Mibbit@36921445.dsl.282eb7d8.ca.hmsk) has quit IRC [Client Quit] [20:18] we had a drum circle here for a while and I was learning some of Spiral Rhythm's songs [20:18] Oh cool Lisa! *** Closed channel log for #adf at 30/12/2014 8:19:06 PM *** Opened channel log for #adf at 30/12/2014 8:19:45 PM [20:19] hee hee [20:20] Lisa .. what's your favorite Spiral Rhythm album? I haven't heard of them so digging into it now :) [20:20] [Owlhawk] I like some of Omnia's stuff [20:21] I think I'm most familiar with "I Am" [20:21] [Owlhawk] Morrigan is my favourite from them [20:21] ohh .. they're on Spotify :) so I can sample before buying [20:22] Good call Owlhawk! I knew I was forgetting a band. Omnia rocks! [20:22] ohh .. all these new bands to listen to [20:22] A good intro to Omnia is the music video to "I Don't Speak Human" [20:23] I also really like Faun [20:23] *** rmagill (rmagill@8dd1f883.c3-0.eas-ubr1.atw-eas.pa.cable.6ca6e6e8.com.hmsk) has quit IRC [Quit: Bye] [20:23] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oYmc9WTdSs [20:25] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLZ_Zy1VhMI [20:25] I'm off, night all!

We had home made lasagna for our rehearsal party the night before our wedding. [20:34] [Owlhawk] My mom uses her Aunt's recipe. It's the best I've had. [20:34] grew up in an Italian neighborhood the food was awesome [20:34] [Owlhawk] you are a lucky lady. [20:35] In many ways, yes [20:35] mmm … italian :) [20:39] so what is everyone up to tonight? [20:40] [Owlhawk] Spent part of the afternoon shoveling snow. [20:40] whee? LOL [20:40] I am sorry [20:41] All we have is rain [20:41] [Owlhawk] They're calling for more tomorrow. Snow squalls this time. [20:41] [Owlhawk] 6 inches or so I think is the prediction [20:43] *** RavenLynnBrown (Mibbit@fb91d589.cpe.net.cable.f33844f1.com.hmsk) has joined #adf [20:43] that's cold [20:43] We get to go to sunny florida … whee … warm ..

[20:45] And you are keepibg their cats [20:45] its nice of you owl [20:45] hi Raven [20:45] Hello Raven [20:45] [Owlhawk] we are. It's amusing to watch them fight with ours [20:46] Hey Raven [20:50] my, my, this is one of the quietest groups of Druids I've ever been around. [20:51] *** ErinP (Mibbit@36921445.dsl.282eb7d8.ca.hmsk) has joined #adf [20:51] There..it is done! :) [20:51] I just submitted my acceptance and my bio for the RD of Eastern Canada : [20:51] :) [20:52] Excellence [20:52] why not ? :) [20:52] hehehe [20:52] And I just declined my nomination. Good luck to you! [20:52] [Owlhawk] lol. good luck [20:52] Good Luck [20:53] thanks. I might win, but if not, I'm going to run for Sr Druid of my grove :) [20:54] cool [20:55] Oh good luck Erin! [20:55] sorry I'm being distracted a bit tonight [20:56] :) its ok.. its pretty quiet here tongiht [20:56] :) [20:57] if you want noise you have to make it [20:57] [Owlhawk] I'm debating whether or not I should install windows 7 [20:57] [Owlhawk] I mean windows 10 [20:58] 10?? [20:58] I wasn't aware it had been released. [20:58] 10? [20:59] [Owlhawk] it's in beta. a friend presuaded me to download it. I haven't installed it yet as I've been too busy to take an afternoon to build a computer . [20:59] oh cool, did you know if you hover your mouse over someone's name in chat, it'll highlight the chat they've done? [20:59] in mibbit? [20:59] Heard Explorer would be replaced [21:00] i've never done this on the computer before. always on my phoen.. [21:00] phone [21:00] I'm always hesitant with new versions of operating systems … so many things can go wrong [21:00] [Owlhawk] Not sure. I haven't paid a lot of attention to it as I don't fix beta software [21:00] [Owlhawk] Explorer needs to be replaced [21:01] LOL not disagreeing! [21:01] [Owlhawk] that's been true since 95 [21:01] Erin, I'm not sure .. I use a different application [21:01] Agreed Owlhawk [21:01] [Owlhawk] I'm don't have as many problems with testing as I fix computers [21:01] I'm a firefox user myself [21:02] [Owlhawk] I like different browsers for different purposes. [21:02] Chrome here [21:02] [Owlhawk] Opera, Chrome and Firefox all have their uses. There's some interesting ones available if you look in the right nook or cranny [21:03] *nod* [21:03] [Owlhawk] Explorer is only useful for downloading an actual browser [21:03] how true. [21:04] well it's handy with Sharepoint [21:04] [Owlhawk] I don't use that software [21:04] Sharepoint? [21:05] It's a browser based file/info sharing app that Microsoft has. it integrates with Explorer so you can edit files in Office .. but not so much with other browsers. With anything else you have to download the file and then upload it. Or get a plug-in that's iffy [21:09] [Owlhawk] I have trouble trusting Google or Microevil with my files when they have a tendency to claim ownership of all files on their servers...including ones in this type of program [21:09] I use Open Office so it would not be relevant for me. [21:11] Do you have a cloud storage site you would recomend.

[21:12] I use dropbox mostly though [21:12] and evernote [21:13] Hi Lesley [21:13] Hey Lesley [21:13] I use dropbox and google docs and then asus cloud [21:13] *** Alusa-ICTX (Alusa@e02e8051.dsl.skt2ca.3e6fd2e2.net.hmsk) has joined #adf [21:14] night guys [21:14] nite Erin [21:14] night Erin [21:14] Kindreds bless [21:14] Good night Erin, nice meeting you.

[21:16] well we're taking about software and operating systems [21:16] sounds techy to me [21:17] we talked about music too [21:17] oooh music [21:17] true .. I got some new bands to listen to! [21:17] [Owlhawk] I regularly discuss mb, ram types, cpus and the best combos there of... [21:18] you, Sir, are a geek :) [21:18] [Owlhawk] :D [21:18] you should rule the world :) [21:18] [Owlhawk] A+ certified one at that! [21:18] And a proud one from the looks of that smile. [21:18] He's the Brain [21:18] [Owlhawk] TRY AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD PINKY!!!!!! [21:18] Ah, me I'm just a long time user of computers [21:18] LOL [21:18] hey got to love our geeks, someone has to help us in this techy world [21:19] LOL I work with software, but leave the coding to more appropriate folks [21:20] [Owlhawk] once you know the patterns and the techniques, programming actually isn't that hard. it's the initial learning that's stupid difficult. [21:20] same here, I just use the products, but can figure out things in a pinch if need to, but don't usually have to [21:20] [Owlhawk] and don't try assembly programming......EVER [21:20] yeah Owl, I know how to program .. and I have programed in Assembly (one assignment in college was enough!) [21:20] Just well … it's not the most efficient use of my time [21:20] [Owlhawk] I'm so sorry. [21:21] [Owlhawk] We tried it in grade 11. that was enough of that damn language for m [21:21] [Owlhawk] e [21:21] LOL [21:21] so yall question cause been assembling ideas, what traditions do yall do for the new year? [21:21] it was not the most fun [21:21] well .. traditionaly, we do black eye peas and rice [21:21] Me I can write basic html but that is the beginning and end of it. [21:21] but in my family we make Brandy Alexanders :) [21:22] what is that? [21:22] black eye peas, cabbage, and corn bread [21:22] Brandy Alexander = cream, brandy, ice .. frape & serve with grated nutmeg [21:22] Your making me hungry, Rovena [21:22] [Owlhawk] The wife and I will watch Canada defeat the USA at the World Juniors, drink a 6 year old bottle of chocolate mead and then...... [21:22] about equal parts of everything [21:22] sounds good [21:22] oh Owl … mmmm chocolate mead [21:23] [Owlhawk] It's the last bottle of the second mead I ever made. it's sittting in the back of the fridge waiting to be opened [21:23] cool [21:25] I am thinking of crafting prosperity bags or doing some crafty thing, I also plan on a little work on my business, I believe what you do on the first day you will do the rest of the year, so I want to be crafty, have piety, have my business, work, and money [21:26] I want to make a special mead for Bridh if I can ever find dandilion honey again. [21:26] I also plan on having good food [21:26] [Owlhawk] I used to do Object Oriented Programming but that was a number of years ago. HTML is really basic. It's nothing more then tags really. Java and flash are a bit harder, but I haven't needed them [21:26] Lesley, it's a great ida to work on your busineess for the new year [21:26] what do you do? [21:26] sell e-cigs [21:26] cool [21:26] [Owlhawk] You can't trust a honey label like that. Bees collect honey from a great many sources over a large distance. [21:26] I have Smoke the Rainbow and lost my physical location so I am online once my website is back up [21:27] I know a few folks who use the e-sigs [21:27] it's much nicer for me than when they were smoking cigarettes :) [21:27] yes it is [21:27] [Owlhawk] I tried them and decided that quitting was a better option. [21:28] plus i have some clients that use zero nicotine for other cravings [21:28] [Owlhawk] Drugs were necessary [21:28] Owl, it isn't for everyone, but it is a good tool and proving a good business [21:28] *** SaraKBlackwelder (Mibbit@93581b89.tampfl.fios.36f5c1fe.net.hmsk) has joined #adf [21:29] hello! how' everyone?

[21:32] we'll be near Pompano [21:32] Aging has lessened my tolerance to the cold [21:33] heh .. I'm more cold tolerant as I get older [21:33] do NOT like the heat now [21:33] nice! [21:33] [Owlhawk] but do you get 10 or 20 feet of snow each winter? [21:33] I like it cold when I sleep but not when having to be out in it cause here cold is usually accompanied with wet/rain [21:33] heat is weird, I prefer cooler weather [21:34] [Owlhawk] so we should start shipping you snow then Sara? [21:34] [Owlhawk] And there's Guardians of the Galaxy downloaded for my nephews. one thing off the to do list. [21:35] lol sure...we could use the water [21:35] my boss was complaining it was too cold and I looked at her and said can't have spring till we have the cold, she didn't like that [21:35] I always did, but since I turned 50 I've begun enjoying the heat more. Not that I'm inviting a heatwave anytime soon [21:35] i thought that was a fun movie [21:35] Oh Owl, where did you find it? I haven't seen it yet [21:35] still haven't seen it [21:35] [Owlhawk] I use Frost wire to download, and XBMC for streaming.

We just have one small PG [21:53] slow growing, but the people are great [21:53] here in Cali that is :) [21:54] what part? [21:54] [Owlhawk] If we come back to Florida, we'll likely end up driving and that will mean that I will want to time it so I can come to one of your rites. If I'm driving that far to see my parents, I might as well have some fun as well! [21:54] there you go! that IS a drive [21:54] [Owlhawk] 24 hours to their front door from ours. Dad timed it a few times.\ [21:54] that's a heck of a drive Owl! [21:54] Sara, I'm on the Peninsula by SF [21:55] Owlhawk, that's about as long as it takes me to get to Wellspring [21:56] I've only been in the Hollywood area of CA myself. My hubby lived in San Diego and really liked that area [21:56] [Owlhawk] Drive to Columbus the first day. Drive to Houmousassa the next [21:56] I was not a huge fan overall (where I visited at least) I do hear up north is nice [21:56] [Owlhawk] well, that's only about 6 or 7 hours south of me.... [21:57] I love the Bay Area .. it's more compact that San Diego so easier to get around without a car [21:57] nice [21:57] But I've been to San Diego a few times and it's pretty nice [21:57] [Owlhawk] I've never been further west in the States then Wellsprings. [21:57] LA … not my favorite [21:57] You should come out here Owl :) [21:58] *** MichelDaw (Mibbit@6a03749.84-203-24.mc.40eae23.ca.hmsk) has joined #adf [21:58] [Owlhawk] One day maybe. I've been told, almost ordered, to visit Arizona. [21:58] I keep trying to get folks out for Pantheacon [21:58] [Owlhawk] lolo [21:59] LOL … it's 12 hrs from my house to Pheonix [21:59] [Owlhawk] Hello Michel [21:59] I really want to go to Pcon, but not this year [21:59] Sara, let me know when you do! [21:59] I try to go every year [21:59] Hi Michael [21:59] Hey guys. [21:59] [Owlhawk] If I go that far, it will be to Vancouver and Seashalt to visit my cousins [21:59] cool [21:59] hello [22:00] I will let you know! maybe next year :) [22:01] cool :) [22:01] It's a lot of fun and helps to have a guide the first year [22:01] [Owlhawk] That would be awesome, but not fair to the christian wife. She would find a hotel fest boring I think. she loves the camping ones...aside from Wellsprings, which she won't go back to [22:01] yea, Ody raves about it...she's been trying to get me to go [22:01] [Owlhawk] Night is falling, but it' [22:01] yeah. Chris let's me go alone. He'd be bored [22:02] Why? The nudity? [22:02] [Owlhawk] s the noon of the day, flight of ravens here to carry our souls away.... [22:02] [Owlhawk] What do yousee??? [22:02] [Owlhawk] Sorry needed to type the lyrics [22:02] oh love that scene!! [22:02] [Owlhawk] No, she loves KG. The cold was too much for one or two of her medical issues. [22:03] Ah, cool then (see what I did there?) [22:03] [Owlhawk] I did monsieur [22:03] it was mega cold the last time she was there [22:03] I was thinking of going to Wellspring in '15 … how "cold" is cold? [22:04] [Owlhawk] My wife has a medical issue that makes cold difficult and potentially embrassing. So she won't go back. I found it not bad [22:04] last year was gorgeous weather wise....the year before was chilly! [22:04] [Owlhawk] You need to pack for warmth, cold and cool weather, as well rain. [22:04] [Owlhawk] It was. and that was too much for her Sara. [22:05] It is May, so the weather is unpredictable at best. [22:05] [Owlhawk] However, she did love the people she met. And had a great time. [22:05] I've done raining and freezing camping before .. it wasn't horiffic [22:06] [Owlhawk] I've gone in Southern Ontario in the beginning of Febuary. [22:06] Yeah, ok, even for a canadian that is crazy. [22:06] It snowed in 13 around the area that week [22:06] [Owlhawk] but I got the winter camping scout badge! [22:07] lol [22:07] [Owlhawk] Hence blondie refusing to go back! [22:07] hehehe [22:07] we wont be making it to wellspring this year, maybe next [22:07] [Owlhawk] Winter camping is great, if you can prepare ahead. You go in and pile snow really high....like 10 or 15 feet, then you soak it and leave it to freeze for a few days. [22:08] Igloo? [22:08] [Owlhawk] the camp starts and you hollow out our igloo. get some hay bales and spread them on the floor. Stick one in the door way that you cut to size. Even if you sleep naked, you will sweat. [22:08] [Owlhawk] Igloo [22:09] [Owlhawk] You dig it when ou get there. We were good at winter camping [22:10] [Owlhawk] I'm planning on going to Wellsprings this year. I stared a 1 gallon mead for it. [22:10] [Owlhawk] started [22:10] I'm going. I am hoping to go to Trillium as well but not sure [22:10] I'm going to see if I can get the time off [22:11] [Owlhawk] After that will be Three Rivers, then KG and then, hopefully, Midnight Flame [22:11] [Owlhawk] I encourage all of you to come to Three Rivers!!!! [22:12] [Owlhawk] *looking at you Monsieur Daw* [22:12] I would love to come up. I need more spending money to take trips with!!! [22:12] [Owlhawk] lol [22:13] Three Rivers Def. [22:13] [Owlhawk] I'm told that robbing banks is a bad thing.... [22:13] [Owlhawk] Shall I hold you to that? [22:14] Yup. [22:14] [Owlhawk] Good.

[22:17] Hey, the more people we get in the running, the better for our region. [22:17] [Owlhawk] it's not the first time for you as I recall [22:17] To be nominated. [22:17] ? [22:17] [Owlhawk] it's not an election if there's only one canidate, even if the cons like it that way [22:17] [Owlhawk] yes. to be nominated [22:19] Well, we'll see. Whatever's best for the region, right/ [22:19] ? [22:19] being RD is interesting, but there aren't really good guidelines of what to do [22:19] I wish there were [22:19] [Owlhawk] That was one of my questions about it [22:20] [Owlhawk] the nice thing about streaming a movie is that you can start it over again easily. [22:20] [Owlhawk] The Spirit of Albion is worth starting over again [22:21] I read over the requirements. They are pretty general. [22:21] they are very general and there just isn't much guidance yet on what to do with the job [22:22] Have you been an RD Sara? Any insight to share? [22:24] I am the SE RD, and I have NO idea what I'm doing lol [22:24] [Owlhawk] lol [22:24] most of what I do is reach out to new folks and say hi [22:25] some answer, others don't, and generally I'm here if people need anything [22:25] Well folk, It's been nice visiting, however words are starting to blur together, so I'll bid everyone a good night. [22:25] I really WANT to travel around a bit and see folks, but running a Grove makes it difficult [22:25] night [22:25] [Owlhawk] good night Raven. If I'm ever in your area, I'll get in touch [22:26] You should check out the Quarterly reports for the Canada East RD. She has been doing some pretty cool stuff for us. She will be missed.

[22:27] [Owlhawk] Kayley says hello as well [22:27] [Owlhawk] She also says hello to you, Sara. [22:27] [Owlhawk] Owie..... [22:27] hello! [22:27] hey long time now chat [22:27] lol [22:27] that's good to know! I will check out what she's done :) [22:28] crap no chat I mean [22:28] [Owlhawk] lol [22:28] nice to "see" you Jay :) [22:28] [Owlhawk] Well, since you're coming to Three Rivers, that can be fixed in June [22:28] [Owlhawk] :D [22:28] very true... although we have to fix the glamping situation [22:28] [Owlhawk] Oh? [22:29] [Owlhawk] we have a 10 man dome tent.... [22:29] there's a glamping "situation"? [22:29] [Owlhawk] You haven't met Pam [22:29] trying to figure out how to make it less time consuming [22:29] [Owlhawk] lolo [22:29] I think a trailer to carrying my extras may be necessary ;) [22:29] [Owlhawk] Do the full bore thing for KG, and tone it down for Three Rivers. [22:30] I don't "rough" it very well Victoria [22:30] [Owlhawk] That or get there or the Thursday and set up [22:30] [Owlhawk] I think you rough it beautifully. [22:30] [Owlhawk] your set up at KG was great [22:30] Four tents, a full double bed (with bedside tables) Dining pavilion, Kitched, including oven for fresh baked croissants, portable bathroom,m and a tent for the luggage [22:31] we have the kitchen the pavilion and the bedroom tent... I haven't used my closet tent lately... I also have the bathroom with the shower but it isn't really needed for three rivers as there aren't as many using the bathroom [22:31] [Owlhawk] We have Trolls big Tarp now. [22:32] it's all my fault... I take the blame... no wonder they call me Princess LOLs [22:32] [Owlhawk] That does most of our site. Then we supplement with a few more tarps and a propane BBQ. [22:32] big tarps are awesome! [22:32] [Owlhawk] We don't have a bathroom like Pam does. [22:32] [Owlhawk] Troll needed a bigger one.... [22:32] sorry didn't mean to hijack the conversation as soon as I enter [22:32] [Owlhawk] we've been wandering as the night goes [22:33] ahh gotcha [22:33] plans for New Year's Eve anyone? [22:33] [Owlhawk] An oven and an onsite toilet are on my list. [22:33] they were under "necessity" category for me... I don't like to wait for the washroom. [22:33] [Owlhawk] Mead and World Junior Hockey. 6 year old chocolate mead [22:33] NICE :) yummy mead [22:34] [Owlhawk] Neither does Kayley and now she knows there is an alternative....and I like my bed over the couch..... [22:34] we got our oven at Canadian Tire and it is awesome [22:34] LOLS... Kayley is a woman after my own heart. :) [22:35] as Michel says... "If Mama ain't happy... nobody is happy." :) [22:35] [Owlhawk] And nobody is sleeping on the couch. If he's lucky [22:35] [Owlhawk] I'll have Strawberry for KG [22:35] or the nearest convenient dog house [22:35] [Owlhawk] lol [22:35] Strawberry Mead? [22:36] [Owlhawk] yes Madame [22:36] that sounds very yummy [22:36] [Owlhawk] It is. [22:36] [Owlhawk] There's two 5 gallon carboys of it in the dining room [22:37] wow that's a lot of mead! [22:37] [Owlhawk] Really? Have you talked to Doug in the last year or two? [22:37] no I haven't actually [22:38] [Owlhawk] Him and Eagle Eyes did about 50 gallons. [22:38] we have been a bit quiet lately [22:38] wow [22:38] [Owlhawk] I'm only around 15 or 20 right now [22:38] that's some serious mead making [22:38] [Owlhawk] I want to start a spice orange or something next month for KG. [22:38] chocolate orange could be a good one [22:39] [Owlhawk] And they brought it all to KG. And I beat them both in the mead making, taking 2nd... [22:39] [Owlhawk] Would need to age too long to be ready for KG [22:39] [Owlhawk] The oils in the chocolate need to break down. Takes a year or two [22:39] LOL Pamela .. now that's camping [22:40] I was considering it a luxury to get a camping cot and side table for my own use [22:40] [Owlhawk] amateur.... [22:40] [Owlhawk] :S [22:40] but then I also am considering gear that I'll need to fly with or ship (for things like Wellspring) [22:40] LOL [22:40] [Owlhawk] :D [22:41] [Owlhawk] the flying in part would be an issue. [22:41] [Owlhawk] We stick to things we can drive to. [22:41] [Owlhawk] That makes it easier.\ [22:41] yeah, but then I'd never make it to Wellspring [22:41] I don't like driving enough to drive cross country again (did it once when we moved here) [22:42] [Owlhawk] You're in Cali, right? [22:42] ya [22:42] Pantheacon is a whole 30 mins away (with hotel):) [22:42] I can understand packing light then Victoria [22:42] *nod* [22:42] [Owlhawk] Contact someone from Stone Creed, I think they're the ones that do Wellsprings, and ask them if there is any thing they can do to help you with camping at wellsprings. [22:42] If you book early enough Ravens Knoll has cabins that can be used... kind of glamping :) [22:42] We have Eight Winds here just a few hours away, but I'm likely going to be driving with someone else, so again .. light [22:43] ok, goodnight all! have a great new years celebration (if you do that) :) [22:43] @Owl, I'm sure they can! but with Eight Winds here, I'm getting camping gear anyway. and I'm running solo [22:43] Nite Sara! [22:43] [Owlhawk] I know tat others have been helped before [22:43] [Owlhawk] Good night Sara [22:43] Nite Sara and happy new year for tomorrow evening [22:43] [Owlhawk] But that way you don't have to pay the air line to carry it across the country [22:44] thakns! [22:44] *** SaraKBlackwelder (Mibbit@93581b89.tampfl.fios.36f5c1fe.net.hmsk) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [22:44] True Owl [22:44] once I confirm if I can go I might reach out [22:44] I know that Stone Creed has done it for a few people who have travelled long distance. [22:45] I have a HUGE suitcase (max size to avoid fees) that I've used to haul spinning wheels across country. Pretty sure it can hold camping gear. but with having to pay for suitcases these days (bah!) [22:46] Need to get the time off before I think about arrangements :) [22:47] [Owlhawk] that's the beauty of being self employed....it's about the only one most days [22:47] LOL my folks run their own company … [22:47] [Owlhawk] I fix computers from home [22:47] yep I am going to have to book my vacation days and cross my fingers that I can have them. I am the newest hire in the department so I have to hope that I can get them. [22:47] Oh good luck Pamela! [22:47] We won't be doing Wellspring this year though. [22:47] [Owlhawk] book now [22:47] I usually get time off, but last year ended up cancelling Wellspring because of an emergency at work [22:47] Hopefully next year 2016 [22:48] [Owlhawk] Michel mentioned that earlier. [22:48] so ….. it's less about the actual time and more about the crazy at work [22:48] [Owlhawk] but you are getting to Three Rivers [22:48] Yes three rivers is "local" [22:48] [Owlhawk] Yup. well, a 6 hour drive for us... [22:48] I need to renew my Permanent Resident Card and the paperwork takes time so no border crossings for now. [22:49] [Owlhawk] ah. yes, that would be a pain [22:49] about an hr. 15 mins for us [22:49] [Owlhawk] I can't imagine a fest that close to us. I wouldn't know what to do with most of the day. [22:49] I am still a Brit until I get my Canadian Citizenship... more paperwork! I have been here 40 years though. :) [22:49] [Owlhawk] lol [22:50] hee hee [22:50] I have no problem leaving but Canada won't let me back in :) [22:50] and here, something more than 4 hrs away is "far" [22:50] [Owlhawk] Michel and the kids might object to that.... [22:50] Yep the cats even more I think. [22:51] [Owlhawk] 4 hours is nothing. THen again I used to drive cab for 12 hour or longer shifts. [22:51] [Owlhawk] MEh, meow means "come hither, Slave," so they don't get an opinion [22:51] When we lived in Saskatchewan for a year they used to drive an hour for lunch. [22:51] my boys adore me and vice versa... two black cats [22:52] and here I find an place by how much I can walk to [22:52] Victoria that's sounds lovely... walking is very health... although it can be very cold at -20 C [22:53] yeah well … on our coldest days, we might get down to 2 or 3 C [22:53] [Owlhawk] live in a town of 20000, you have to drive to get more then the basics. [22:53] very rarely do we get to 0 [22:53] [Owlhawk] Nearest Occult shop is now 20 minutes away, a new thiing, rather then 3 hours [22:53] [Owlhawk] for instance [22:53] true Jay... I can imagine. My eldest is living in San Fran on contract lately...he is enjoying the weather. :) [22:53] 5 banks, laundry, 3 dry cleaners, 50 bars/restaurants, park …. but it's about 60 mins to the nearest occult shop [22:54] and those places are about 2 - 15min walk [22:54] [Owlhawk] I can now buy incense locally. this is a new thing. I've never been able to do that before. [22:54] the weather finally turned chilly a few years ago [22:54] :) I get a lot online or at P*Con [22:54] He has been walking everywhere while he is living there [22:54] [Owlhawk] I bought at KG. before that I did without [22:55] [Owlhawk] your idea of chilly, and our idea of chilly, really have nothing in common [22:55] LOL true Owl :) [22:55] [Owlhawk] San Fran is a place I'd like to visit [22:55] you should :) [22:55] [Owlhawk] You're not the first to say that. [22:56] well .. I need excuses to go myself. I don't enjoy driving, so going up to the City isn't a thing that happens often [22:56] He is home in Ottawa until Jan. 4 and then goes back but is hoping to be back every month [22:56] although there is a nice train from here to there [22:56] [Owlhawk] good night Victoria [22:56] ? [22:57] [Owlhawk] Oh, you meant go to San Fran, not to bed....oops..... [22:57] LOL [22:57] [Owlhawk] There's a blonde distracting me..... [22:57] I've got another 30 mins or so before I need to run [22:57] Go blondie :) [22:57] [Owlhawk] lol [22:57] distraction is good :) [22:57] Michel is busy buying me a present... silly man! [22:57] Hubby is playing Civ [22:58] so .. not so distracting for me [22:58] [Owlhawk] Yes it is. And she is good at it when she wants to be [22:58] BOUGHT [22:58] [Owlhawk] lol [22:58] ugh [22:58] [Owlhawk] I got blondie a diamond pendant. [22:58] hee hee … go presents [22:58] he is incorrigible [22:58] ohhh .. nice Owl [22:58] [Owlhawk] for yule. I'll need to get her a better chain for it. [22:58] diamonds are always a good present :) [22:58] [Owlhawk] Especially considering we decided on no presents this year! [22:59] that's quite a no-present! [22:59] Hubby and I buy each other dinners out [22:59] we bought cabinets to finish off our dining room... we did the no presents thing as well *sigh* [22:59] [Owlhawk] It was on sale for $20 and is a nice piece, so.......I know how to get brownie points. [22:59] [Owlhawk] lol [22:59] Pamela, but now you have cabinets! [22:59] Wow that is a good price! [22:59] [Owlhawk] we're planning on doing the kitchen and the bathroom [22:59] well I will have cabinets when they are delivered while I work on Friday :) [23:00] one day I'll own a place I live in …. my condo in Florida is still to underwater to really sell [23:00] [Owlhawk] ouch [23:00] and the *sigh* was because he bought me presents anyway [23:00] ouch Victoria sorry to hear that :( [23:00] [Owlhawk] I'm not surprised.. [23:01] It's getting better at least, so I will be able to sell it (or at least make a profit from it) in a few years [23:01] [Owlhawk] my parents bought just outside of Houmassasa [23:01] where??? [23:02] [Owlhawk] north of Tampa. I might have spelled it wrong. 2 minutes of US 19 [23:02] ahhh [23:03] [Owlhawk] near here. http://www.homosassasprings.org/Homosassa.cfm [23:03] yeah, my folks want me to move back to Florida, but … meh. My industry is video games & tech .. and there's not really anyone I want to work for there. And .. hot [23:03] [Owlhawk] lol [23:03] [Owlhawk] Diablo III is the only game I play. [23:03] Oh I've been there before! [23:03] YEARS ago . went to see the manatees [23:03] [Owlhawk] we loved it. Best wild life park I've seen in a long time [23:04] [Owlhawk] We got pictures of them. and the hippo! [23:04] hee hee cool! [23:04] well I will say goodnight... thanks for the chat!

[23:15] Was it … 70F? [23:16] [Owlhawk] ball parkish I think. it was a bit a go. I was warm... [23:16] LOL [23:16] … /sigh . 80 [23:16] [Owlhawk] I almost wore shorts.
