Highland Weekend

[Merlin the Elder]

Our weekend got broken up by a work-related event on Saturday night, and next week, one on Friday night (when we would normally already be in town). If it were about half the travel time, things would be so much easier!

[Bonny Pearl]

We are in Waxahachie, unpacked and enjoying the evening.

There you go...bragging again... 

Bonny, you and MacKee and Wee MacKee have a good time! Wish we could join you!

[Lady Kett]

Don't forget the toothpaste! 


Speaking of which....Lady Kett and Sidekick would you like yours back? 

Haha! I'd forgotten about that! We're bringing a Canadian coworker of mine who is here in town for a two week visit. If you can make it to morning tailgate it will throw her for a perfect loop with the crazy Americans!!

She's even going to dress up! Her action item for the evening was to run to Target and find some sensible shoes! She only brought heels and flip flops. I personally find flip flops completely unacceptable at faire. Too many rocks, bleh!

Well...... I was well on my way and about 35 miles into the trip my cars' temp gauge started going nuts, all on the hot side.    I couldn't find anything wrong under the hood, but I could tell it was running hot and the fans wouldn't stop.  It wanted to cool off at slow speeds or idle, so likely the thermostat.
 So since I had not even got out of town yet, I eased over to my dealer and dropped it off, hopefully it'll be something simple, and it will ready Saturday evening.  This is the first time in 6 years and 83,000 miles my car has given me any kind of trouble, but it's my third unsuccessful try in the last four years to make it to Scarby, something has jacked me up every time.

Everyone have fun, sorry I won't be seeing you this time.

Now, that indeed suxeth, to coin a medieval phrase.

[Lady Kett]

Sorry to hear that Zardoz! We'll miss you. Are you going to Rendezvous or will TRF be the next chance to hook up with you?

[Merlin the Elder]

Jeez! I woke up way early this morning! If we'd been packed and left when I woke up, we'd be early for tailgate this morning...this is gonna be a really long day, especially with the requisite gathering with my co-workers this evening... OY! (It's a good thing I have a full bottle handy...)

Wish I could be there this weekend but sadly its not in the cards.
Have fun everyone!

Well, our plans went awry and we aren't there today. I hope everyone has a bloody good time! We will be down tomorrow, and though I hate mentioning the weather everyone needs to keep a weather eye, especially the way the severe weathe has plagued us lately. Here's hoping that we miss out on the bad stuff this time

[Zardoz]

Sorry to hear that Zardoz! We'll miss you. Are you going to Rendezvous or will TRF be the next chance to hook up with you?

Well, I won't be making the trip to Rendezvous, but we will be at TRF this year. Depending on how the car repair cost works out, and if I can recover my motel reservation deposit, I might give it one more try on the 21st.

I am not able to go this weekend, but I hope all can have fun & not be slammed by storms.  (good weather mojo thoughts your way).

[Merlin the Elder]

Didn't hear any chatter from the Scarborough area this morning... makes me nervous considering the weather this week... Hope everyone is well and having fun.

[Bonny Pearl]

It was a full day at faire.  We had a great time.  We especially enjoyed watching our son march in parade!  Thank you to everyone that watched after him and helped make sure he had fun.  He is ready to march again lol!

[Merlin the Elder]

That's great, Bonny!  I wish we'd been there. Pictures?
