some shopping

I think I have found the Port for the starring role at my birthday party -- it is a Dow's 1985 Vintage.

Also, I dealt with the Triscuit supply issue that a couple people noted on Saturday.

Also other Ports, and more Scotch.

Climbing gear

I'm engaged in, probably, my last climbing-gear sort of the year. When I go out climbing, things get jumbled -- used, knotted, sometimes tangled, and end up hanging off my harness, or jumbled into my climbing-gear container. And, I sort the gear, re-rack things where they belong, and generally neaten things out, hopefully before I next need the gear. This is handy for sorting and making sure I haven't lost anything, but it is also good in that it means I handle most of my gear fairly regularly when not climbing, so I can watch for wear and damage, and if I notice any, decide if the piece needs to be retired, before it becomes dangerous. It does take a bit of time, but I think it is worth it.

Gaming, again! Isn't that amazing???

Yes, I'm going for two (count them, two) weekends in a row!

Gaming, my place, Saturday (Dec 10th) starting at 1pm and, just like before, running with dinner break into the evening. RSVPs appreciated, of course. (Though, showing up without RSVP is, of course, fine.)
