Summer 2013 number 2

Miniatures Club has had 2 practice meetings.  Between me, Mario, Justin, and Gabe, we should be able to run the games on July 15.
I have increased my swimming but am not seeing the pound droppage.  Must be from the chocolate malts my daughters made me for a late Father's Day celebration.  I got some candles too.  They are labeled "2x4's".  Yes, that IS what they smell like.  I am getting pretty suntanned which nowadays is not a good thing.
Kendra's graduation went really well and all the events planned by my wife came off without a snag.  Kendra has refinished a table and is working on a night stand for her new apartment (which she does not yet have) in Fullerton.
I am working on a number of miniature painting projects and hope to have a couple more armies of the DBA genre.  I am also prepping American Revolution figures for a club activity similar to Memoir 44.
I have looked at a game called "and a bottle of Rum" put out by 2 hour wargames for running a pirates game.  I also found a blog called "Glue in the Carpet" about kit bashing.  It was very creative what they did with an inhaler.
Today is the 150th anniversary of Gettysburg and more specifically, the battle for Little Round Top by the 20th Maine.  Check that out sometime.  We visited there when we went to D.C.  Such a small area and such a big impact.
The Farm is this weekend with lots of company and we get to shoot our own fireworks.  They are legal (really) in our driveway.
Be safe and have fun.
