My apologies for not getting back to this theme of covering the events at the recent Gulf Wars XIX sooner. Life has indeed been busy. Anyway, my first full day on site was a busy one and entailed more work then anything else. Most of it is really not all that exciting, but it does merit mention here. It gives a good insight to the level of commitment involved in having horses on site at an event like this while so many other things are happening as well.31

Medieval (SCA) Humor
We quickly interrupt the ongoing series where I am summing up my Gulf Wars experience and reporting on it for a brief bit of medieval eccentric humor courtesy of the grand group called the Society of Creative Anachronism. For those curious, I got this bit from Malcom Mor on Facebook. Not sure if it is original or something he found, but it is darn funny… I can not help but think of the squires I know and have a good chuckle about it, until I realize one day I may be one of those too.
Sunday March 14, 2010 I awoke nice and early, somewhere between 4:30 and 5:00a.m. It was an easy awake given my excitement level for heading south to the event known as Gulf Wars. I call the day Zero Day coming from both my background in IT (related to patches) and even more especially the Zero Hour DC comic universe series. Bottom line is the time at which all projects have to be finished that are going to be, truck loaded, horses booted and in the trailer, and a VERY LONG drive.
I have this thing about lists, it gets me organized and a bit focused about accomplishing things on them in general. I have not had one concerning this kind of stuff and it shows. So, I decided to put one together. There are three major points looking forward that have things I need to get done during and/or for. So I am trying to break it down that way and I plan to come back and do check marks or color coding or something when I get things done and make some additional notes of it. May even do a few blogs of somethings with photos as progress occurs. Do keep in mind it is my list, for my feeble mind so some of these are like well duh – go do it and it would be done, but sometimes I just got to do things my way. Anyway, this is the current list I am working from for Gulf Wars – though I will likely increase it as it time goes along for the next few weeks and I think of other things.
