raganiI suppose I should post some actual content one of these days, as it has been the typical case of not posting being caused by too much stuff going on in my life.
I recently ended a work contract that lasted about 7 weeks, and coincided with a bunch of things, including two other work projects that are finally done. This means I am available to do some smaller projects over the next couple of months in between everything else going on.
The more interesting things keeping me busy are non-work, of course.
Working backwards:
Sunday I returned safe and sound from my first weekend with CalESAR for wilderness search and rescue training. We went to Henry Coe State Park which is east of Morgan Hill, and turns out to be the largest state park in the state (odd, since most people I talked to had never heard of it, myself included). I am proud to say that I did not get sunburned despite the heat, or get any bug bites! I was even able to keep up with most of the teenager trainees. I enjoyed the knot lesson, and learning how to make shelters with just a parachute cord and tarp. Learning the search types was interesting too. We did have regular visits from a coyote who took a bite out of my Tiva sandals (not while I was wearing them, thankfully), and eventually ran off with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
abditus' hat. The next training is in Yosemite, which should be fun.
Over a week ago, on June 8th, as many of you already know, was the wedding ofmercator_7 and psyche7772. What was special about this, aside from two of some of my favorite people tying the knot, was that it was on a boat which was sailed out on the San Francisco bay. It turned out to be a beautiful day, and was a lot of fun being out on the bay, although predictably windy. The ceremony was held at a calm spot in Raccoon Strait. The Bride and Groom looked lovely and a seemed to enjoy themselves. gardengirl_34 made cupcakes for the wedding cake, and I helped out by making name tags for the food and putting together the background music playlist, both which were fun projects.
I saw this linked oncorva's LJ and thought it needed to be a LJ icon for mercator_7 and psyche7772 so I sized it down:
