tracker7I decided to head up to Louisville Friday evening, rather than light out really early from Liberty. Spent the night in my former home in my old bedroom. Thought about it as I was nodding off to sleep - I slept about 3000 nights in that room. Former housemate still has my microwave and cable modem and router, and that's fine; I'll get them whenever he figures out what he's doing.
The house, and I shouldn't have been surprised, was a mess. I put in a lot of time cleaning the kitchen and bathroom before I moved out, and you can't tell I did anything. Sigh. Not really my problem anymore, but it irked me.
Got in a few hours at the Southern Indiana Railroad - good crowd and a lot of trains. Somewhere along the way, my snazzy Atlas Dash 8's front pilot snapped off, so that'll be a little repair project in a day or two.
I-64 East is closed from downtown to the 264 interchange, so I had to take a longer route to Miso's. Wasn't bad. Got to the store to see a decent crowd already there, more for a WH40K release than for Free RPG Day. My DCC game went well - eight players! Chatted with some folks, collected some freebies, had some pizza, then headed to Brian J's for L5R. Very good group and scenario and GM, but lawd hammercy was I not taken with the rules. I love the narrative dice system in Star Wars and Genesys, and I can see some shared design language, but it just didn't work for me.
Wrapped that up around 10PM and I headed home. Easy drive, but I didn't have much of a chance to get something to eat, and I was ravenous when I got home.
Slept pretty late Sunday morning, and woke up to a pleasant surprise - The Niece and Grandniece were here! We had lunch, watched a couple of movies, I played wit the little one, it was really nice. Stormy weather all day, and it was downright hazardous here and there. The Niece stuck around as long as she felt comfortable, but still got stopped by the storm around Lawrenceburg. Said visibility was about zero, so she played it safe. Got home later than expected, but she and the baby are safe.
