Crown Weekend.

We got going about an hour later than planned, had a nice A&W lunch and then were on site without any issues. Wlferion had just finished putting up the BC and then we headed to put up our camp. The asthma was not a happy camper and I had to keep taking frequent breaks. Got ourselves settled and then set in to wait for archer64...who after trials and tribulations was there just after dark. We had good help and got him settled in and very much enjoyed the nummy beef and barley stew he had made. Got up the next morning and had a very leisurely morning and then got ready for court. I took a lot of photos throughout the day and I'll have them up at some point soon. It was neat to explain to a lot of people about crown since a lot of ysgie's this was their first crown. lferion did a marvelous job heralding and we now have heirs to the aten throne of american_knight and duchess_asa! I was very tired by the time the feast/bbq rolled around. After food and a nummy double bock it was time to heat up some mead and have a nice camp fire. Enjoyed the company and chatting a bit with the homeland security guys that drove through. Went to bed late and rose a bit early. Nice morning of coffee and breakfast and chatting. The day started well, the knighting was nice and the tourney's ran well. Ivan is now once again warlord even though the silly boy wasn't gonna fight. the finals with him and cassimir were hilarious. Closing court was short and sweet and then we started packing. About 2 hours later we were finalizing the last of the packs (thanks to lots of help) and then it was A&W for drinks and the final drive home. Got home, had good help unloading and then dinner with Wander. Finally in showers and in bed by 1030pm.

The bike ride this morning was shorter than planned and my asthma is still not happy. Mel's reading and I've got rods drying for glass work. Need to get my torch set up and the kiln on and should be making beads soon. I'm tired though (oxydep) and keep thinking a nap would be good too.
