GREAT GPRF http://www.greatplainsrenfest.com/ It’s been a good weekend of reunion with friends. Today looked like it was a bit better attended compared to yesterday. I picked up a really nice monogramed banner for the Haruc, and a couple of Viking-style comic books. All-in-all I spent $172 this weekend.

With the overnight temps getting down into the upper 50s/lower 60s, it’s a good time to test the heating unit in Socks’ house:
A/C remains @ 78F
Heating unit set @ 65F
*so they won’t work against each other.
*a bit of time in Socks’ house while the heating unit warmed up told me it IS work well. Now I’ll have to check back inside his house to make sure it shuts off when it reaches its thermostatically set temp.
*23:00/11PM, yup, it’s good!

PM God/dess Meditation: Paltar, you're the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, husband to the faithful Nanda, beloved son of Wotan and Frija. Just as you restore Mittigart after Godotuom, restore us after we experience our own Godotuoms of life. Let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help is to avoid evil, and seek the good. Inspired by your example, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving his life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!
