Going to be another short blog entry this evening I'm afraid.  Finally made
2nd stage of the valor rep for knight guild.  At least the next stage is
already 33% completed so getting to lvl 3 shouldn't take as long.  Still is a
pain in the ass to solo.  Made chest 3 this reinc, earned 14% chest creation
skills, just another 16 to go, then we'll see if I get lucky with a 12
slotter.  Will start looking at ships once I wrap up some more of the knight
progress and chests  get boring to make.  

Otherwise, another day of hacking some VB code.  Looking good, just need to
get some lab time next week with the new radio software.  Since most of the
team will be on travel, I expect I'll have a lot of online and active time
next week.  woot!  No big plans for the weekend.  Just going to a birthday
party for my brother's girlfriend's son who turned 3 yesterday.  Going to be a
cold night tonight, -15 below approx.  Glad I have a garage for my truck, it
may not want to start in the morning with temps like that.  I haven't heard
how much snow the farm got.  I'm hoping they got as much as we did so it will
melt off fairly fast so I can get back to working on the firewood pile again. 
I'm about two average weekends from completion.  Seriously considering
dragging up another pile as Dad had to tap into the "backup" firewood stores
this week.  Plenty of wood in the backup pile, and it is a good thing to burn
through that before it begins to dry rot too much.  Just means I'll have more
work this spring when I have to replace the wood taken.  Time to cruise home.
