I'm very much a creature of comfort. Tents and me, we don't have much of a history. I'm an artist, not an outdoorsman - I admit it.
Tonight's attempt at Task 23
Planning really isn't my strong-point. That's one lesson I'm definitely going to take away from this, and working all week isn't much of a help.
Resetting for Tuesday Night. Next time, I get it right.
Tonight's attempt at Task 23
23 - Camp outside at least oncewas aborted earlier due to poor planning and a lack of equipment. Thankfully, home wasn't far away, and no lives were in danger...

And it's back to Day 1... *growls*
...3 (and holding)...
The cafe tent needs ANOTHER section bolted on, so... it must be time for the industrial-strength steel securing bolts.

...and who is going to pay to fix THAT, I wonder...?
Also In The News Today... Yes, we have several positive responses to the "call to arms", and I now have my OFFICIAL red flag. All I need now is the opportunity to finish the banner, and start setting up the "Peace And Quiet" camp - which is getting just that little bit more expensive almost every day. Such is the price of fighting for what's right, I guess.
The Mission 101 "skinny" is that if the banner is still up when I emerge from my tent on Saturday morning, then two tasks
23 - Camp outside at least oncewill officially be "in the bag."
79 - Protest against CLAN
Development News... More progress has been made with TDD-607 The Endless Dance of Light and Shadow IV, Chapter 3 - it could be finished by Blast-Off Day (that's Saturday). As I was working, I found I had to refer back to pre-Darkhawk Diaries material... and I think I might have found something to occupy myself with during i.Resist 2010; and that's The Archive Project, as in
46 - Continue and complete "The Archive Project"It's quite a challenge, given that I have about THIRTEEN book-length stories to "archive", but it is all written - it all needs formatting, and someplace to put it. Time for another dose of Wordpress...?
Talking of which, I'm thinking i.Resist is starting to look like it could use a blog format, too.
Tomorrow... The Meeting!
ONE. WEEK. TO GO.

i.Resist 2010 Update...79 - Protest against CLANThings are picking up pace now. I've changed my style of banner, which won't now require me to fiddle about with TWO pieces of sheet, my flyer for local delivery is taking shape, I've even ordered an "add-on" domain to point to the page hosted at THEPatentDragon.com - over the next week, I'll be photocopying flyers, buying paint, painting a banner, delivering flyers, setting up my camp, attending the Community Engagement meeting...
Busy busy busy...
Oh, and work, of course. It's been suggested to me that I could take some "time off" as my bosses both find themselves "out of the office" at the same time. Think I might just take them up on that, and have a week to cover both the majority of the protest period AND the aftermath of my Perth excursion.
So that's FIVE Mission 101 Tasks I can either complete, or make solid progress with in the next two weeks:
19 - Visit five cities not on my regular "list"Crikey O'Reilly...
23 - Camp outside at least once
52 - Complete some craft projects I've started
79 - Protest against CLAN
90 - Go to at least five concerts
And I may just have an idea for another task. More soon!
