Like many a rural Canadian, its the time of the year to stack firewood for the coming winter.
I was about a quarter of the way through when I took this shot yesterday and my wife's parking spot will be usable before noon. Then I can take a break and finally decide whether to paint minis or play a game.
The real issue there, is having difficulty deciding what era and what sort of scenario to play.
(...and yes, that's a call for requests and suggestions.)
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.
I remember those days of "wood-getting" as a lad. Those days are long gone. Will your arms be too tired to wield a paintbrush after these exertions?
ReplyDeleteNope. But. I need to do some casting to flush out the on hand recruits. Might get there today
DeleteAfter all the wood gathering, how about a nice relaxing Gathering of Hosts ?
ReplyDeleteThe Valdurian forces held a muster a couple of days ago and are raising more levies.
DeleteTime for the least used figures to see daylight
ReplyDeleteMy thought as well
DeleteYeah, sounds like a good plan.
DeleteNice wood pile. As for me, I'm more of a woolgatherer than a woodgatherer. ha ha
I always enjoy seeing the Prince Valiant figures on the table. Even though it makes me regret selling mine!
ReplyDeleteIf I ever have to go down to one 'thing', they'll be it
DeleteI am a sucker for Prince Valiant!
ReplyDeleteWhat my wife calls 'Wood Day' - stacking 6 metres of firewood in shelter. Well... it's exercise!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Ion
Gathering of hosts with the beastie , please.

Great pick for Battle Game of the Month — the pacing and combat loop are super addictive, and the visuals really pop! If anyone wants a chill change of pace between matches, try this too: Bus Simulator Mod APK. It’s a fun way to unwind while still scratching that gameplay itch.
