Roaming Babbage Palisade

Phin and I thought we'd take a walk around Babbage Palisade and had a look at the new Academy of Industry...We explored its empty halls and rooms...
And in another build, found this curious contraption...could it be from a future yet to happen?

Happy Birthday Baron!

I had a very lovely time in Steelhead tonight celebrating the Baron Wulfenbach's birthday! He is quite light on his feet I must say...After I had my dance with him, I put on one of my favorite dresses and danced as my squirrelly self with the evening's music presenter, the Duke of Murdann...
Later on that evening, after a breezy sail on the Firth, I settled into comfortable chairs at the Connolly Park gazebo with Phin in Mayfair...

Packing It All Up

Here I am sitting on top of my build of the Gearz club. I had a wonderful time being involved in Steelhead's RFL build, but now it was was time to dismantle it...All three mini-builds might be available in the Ballroom later...
But the wonderful Wulfenbach Castle will more than likely not be rezzed again...
We were all sad to see it go, but Miss Tanaraian Davies, Lunar, Mr SteelCobra Calamari, Mr VelesJaeger Munster and I celebrated it by riding the train for almost an hour talking and laughing...
Thank you everyone!

A Quiet Sunday Evening

Lunar joined me at Laval Point for a bit of coffee and tea. He had been up until 7 am his time doing laps at RFL and did over 90K m worth. No wonder he is slumping forward in his seat...He tp'd me to look at textures for his next build--a total revamp of Miss Katt's island and home...
Later on that evening, we rode through the now-quiet RFL sims on horseback looking at all the builds, including this steampunky "Time Machine" sculpture by artist Bryn Oh. For more pics and excerpts from my RL journal that I kept during my mom's battle with cancer, please visit HERE.

SL Relay for Life...Thank You

I walked alongside fellow Caledonians Mr Dagger, Miss Book, Miss Messmer, and Her Grace Duchess Primverness during the Survivor/Caregiver lap today at SL Relay for Life...We fought through tremendous lag, but it was so touching to see the folks lined up alongside the track to cheer us on. I did over 20K m worth of walking before I was done, which makes the over 300K m worth of laps that Lord Vid did really amazing! When I finished the Survivor/Caregiver lap, I headed over to Caledon's site to see him off...
Thank you all so much for your support and participation in RFL. Thanks to folks such as you, RFL was able to raise over $53 million Lindens (over $197,000 USD)! Mom & Robert, I love you both...

Caledon's RFL build

I had a chance to stop through Mr Equine McMillan's wonderful steampunky build for Caledon's RFL site when I went to set up my RFL vendors there. I thought I had pictures of the upper levels, but they seem to have not gone through...

Adventures in Mini-Steelhead

Finally, mini Steelhead Boomtown is done! Go to the Heroes 6 sim to see all three Steelhead sims in miniature for yourself!Mr Hassanov stopped by to show me his new shiny medal for his actions in Moscow...
And Lunar and I celebrated being finished with a dance in his beautiful Girl Genius/Wulfenbach-inspired airship that hovers above the site! The central ballroom section and balcony was inspired by this panel. Oh my...did I actually take a picture of him smiling??

Animal on the Track

As I was texturing the buildings of mini-Boomtown, I would get distracted by folks taking a spin around the builds on the train...I thought I'd check it out, but didn't realize the train would keep going with no one on it! I heard an "Oh no!" from Miss Davies. Nuuuuu! Well, at least it politely told me to get off the track as it hit me...

A Rather Busy Tuesday Evening...

I chatted with adventurer Quinn Lazius in Mayfair during his pubcrawl after telling him where to find our neighborhood's local watering hole, the Wheel & Hub Tavern... I thought I would try to get in some work building the town of Steelhead Boomtown in miniature for Steelhead's RFL build...
Lunar danced with me at the anniversary of the Duke & Duchess of Argylle. The Duchess, unfortunately, was unable to attend due to RL power outage issues and they will try to reschedule it once more. Lunar and I later excused ourselves... ...so that I could finish Boomtown mini and he could finish other work at the site. I think Sheriff Fuzz was rather tickled at the tiny version of his Gearz club. It took many many hours, but I finished all of the buildings and structures. I will texture them later. If you want to see the finished result, stop by the Steelhead site in the Heroes 6 sim during SL's RFL! Trust me when I say it is great fun to walk through the buildings!!!

Gabi's Engagement Party

I had received an invite from Gabi to attend her engagment party at Eds' estate in Hoy...Gabi and her beloved Lady Azul Dracken met in New Boston a year ago...
I had a lovely time dancing with the Duke of Murdann and catching up with him on all sorts of things. Congrats to you Gabi and Lady Azul! I wish you both much happiness in your SL future!

Friday Night in Steelhead: Egypt

To celebrate Miss Katt's RezDay, Steelhead's Friday night dance had an Egyptian theme...I love being Isis...
