I'm not hot shit in a wineglass, more curried goat in a paper cup

I'm trying hard to not read any spoilers for HP & DH. Normally I don't care, I indulge in spoilers all over the place, but this time I want to try to go into the book blank, I guess just because it's the last one. Only problem is, I didn't pre-order it or make any plan for getting it soon. I'm sort of flailing, now.

I learned to tie a mooring hitch last night, because Eor set me down with instructions and said, "This would be a good one to know for next time we're camping." :) I feel much more piratical already! Well, hey, there IS more to being a pirate than just knowing the difference between walking the plank and keelhauling, right? I should know how to do a few decent knots.

( one cut, since multible cuts really don't make sense anyway )
That kept us up until midnight...

...and we got up at 4:30am to start the long drive home.
