He'd never get to 10k that way.

The reason I know nothing of woodworking is because I'm clumsy and I like having 10 fingers.

Also, on the topic of posts no one will understand, I'm starting to see how people sink 100's of hours into this Mount and Blade game.

Just finished a series of 3-4 big fights and only have about 1/3 of my elite troops left, so I need to go round up some more peasants and train them. Worse still I lost my fief when the local capital got taken over, so that's a serious hit to my income. We took the capital back like 2 days later, but since it's considered a "newly conquered territory" the King has to divvy up the land anew which will take a few weeks of game time. Sucky that I lost 1/2 my troops defending the little village only to have someone else not pull their weight.

I don't have much influence yet so the chances of me getting any new land isn't that great; if I do it'll probably be some other worthless hamlet I'll have to improve again. In the meantime I'm getting requests to go on another crazy campaign. Think I'm just going AWOL on them though (the consequences are pretty minimal for that anyway). Go back, get those peasants recruited, and start chasing bandits around to get them some experience. Hopefully by the time I get them useful I'll have a new little village providing income. Failing that I need to spend more time playing politics, or at least get married into one of these families in my faction so I can have a chance to get something worthwhile from all this war stuff they're obsessed with.

Yay for "one step forward, two steps back."

Edit: Also yay people coming into my office, it took 45 minutes to type that post.

Edit: wood warps so if you get untreated lumber (I think) stuff isn't going to be perfectly square.

My dad has a woodworking shop with all the big *** equipment like this and this. Probably different brands and such but the same colour and similar looks, it's hard to tell underneath all the dust in that place.

There's potential here methinks, just need to figure out how to grow square trees.

I was close enough, I just get my dad to do whatever I need doing anyway.

I prefer designing stuff, actually making the things is better left to someone with any sort of skill in that area. Also did I mention how I like having 10 fingers?

So some parts of the Netherlands got 1.5 months worth of rain in a few hours today.

Manitoba's been like that lately, just a stupid amount of rain. Thankfully that seems to have stopped now.

For the Netherlands though, I'd just say you're returning to your proper state.

Design me a worktable!

i think the cold is awful and to be avoided at all costs

I will say being a degree or two above freezing with stuff falling from the sky is my least favorite thing in the world.

10C-ish and cloudy is the best weather for doing anything outside though. It's warm enough you don't feel cold after being outside for a while, but not so warm you work up a sweat when doing stuff. No sun means the pasty-white skin doesn't get burnt. A bit of mist or drizzle keeps the bugs from flying around and the riff raff inside.
