More Bataan Death March of Fun

[serinde]

It is possible I have overcommitted again. Maybe.

Saturday daytime was much yard and house cleanage, including hauling a plastic tarp covered with wet, moldering leaves (and mallard poop...yes, Mr. and Mrs. Duck are back) off the pool and pushing it into some sort of flatness on the driveway so it could kinda-sorta dry out. Saturday night was Bad Movie Night in honor of arkham1010's impending nuptials. Sunday morning: more yardwork. Sunday afternoon: deck party. Sunday night: MOR MOVIE!!1 Monday: (Woke up to mallard gang rape in the pool.) Post-party cleanup and final operational planning for this Aubrey-Maturin dinner and wine shopping with M & K for it and gardening at sweh's. Monday night: movies with dariodevil. And today, making A Plum-Cake The Size Of A Moderate Cartwheel for said dinner. Which I am a bit unsure about the yeast and I fear it may not rise properly. I guess I'll find out at, um, 9:45pm.

I still must wash more sheets, find my karate-weight gi top, and perform sundry girl-type ablutions. Also, relaxing would be nice.

And, because this dinner is Saturday and that will clear my list of crazy projects, I have developed a new one:
A Typical D&D Adventuring Party Hike; or, Just How Heavy *Is* 50 Feet Of Rope?

There. You are now caught up.

You're lucky. Some people have to pay big bucks for mallard porn, and you get the live show for free.

{fx: gets out one of my rated climbing ropes, pulls out a weighscale, finds 19 metres weighs 1920 grams, so 101 grams/metre. Fires up units program to translate from metric to US Imperial.}

Your 50' rope should weigh approximately 23,766 grains.
