as we prepare for a road trip to war
May. 7th, 2015 03:37 pmI just saw a link to a great article on the Known World Dance Event in Germany we recently attended. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lord_kjar and I even show up in the background of one of the photos dancing in the streets.
Today we finally finished the final step on creating a cover for the trailer we are borrowing from his little brother-it has a frame made of scrap timber, walls and sides of sheets of one of those not-plywood, yet made from wood bits things for which I don't actually know the name, and a top made of a very sturdy tarp. I have painted our coats of arms on the side--not grand art (one doesn't get that when using spray paint on an irregular surface, with not much time available), but it is certainly recognizable heraldry, and at 80 km it will look fine. We also ran a bead of silicon sealant around the join between the tarp and the frame, so it should stay dry in there, even if it rains.
We are mostly packed and organized--just the food, toiletries and a few other little odds and ends to gather and pack. Sometime after he gets home from work the three of us can load up and go. We are planning on starting driving late tonight, stop for a few sightseeing adventures on the way, visit his big brother at his new house in Uppsala, and probably arrive on site sometime earlyish Saturday. This plan is, of course, subject to change without notice.
