Jax Nova's Galactic Ledger

[jax nova]

Indeed.... Living out in the country is one of the best things! (in my opinion ) And yeah.... a lot of farm land is being developed and while we import goods from other countries and run in the farms which are a main backbone (or were) of our economy.... *sighs* it's sad. But I could go obn about that for who knows how long so I'll shut my trap.

Thanks, glad you liked the site. Yeah, I just used the webs template and my brother modified it with some CSS code a little.


So... Reality: Me and my brother are planning on making a 20 mile hike to a small wilde-life park and then camping there for 2-3 maybe 4 days. *shrugs* Then hiking back. Wouldn't be so big of a deal but our packs we will be taking (with our tents) will wiegh nearly 40-50 pounds.
So we've been walking back and forth from town to our farm with our packs and tents strapped to us to work up to the distance. *wonders if people see us and think were crazy* haha.


Jax Nova: The mesengers have fianlly arrived, after being delayed on teh rode. It will be a long hike to our destination and our loads will be heavy, but our men are strong. Hopefully we will be able to uncover the secrets this map holds for us... and hopefully they will be good.

^LOL. Quite all right. I love farms. I'm one of the biggest farm girls in my area. Sounds like a fun trip.

[jax nova]

Yeah, the trip should be very fun. If we can find a time where we can take that long off and go.

Reality: Another one of our goats had her 2 babbies today. *is so happy* They are so cute!


Jax Nova: We had been on our hike only days before we ran into complciations...but welcomed complications. We discovered two young children along the way. Apparently they had been run from their house by bandits and their parents killed. Since they hve no where to go they have been traveling with us.
they know the land and water sources, so it's been good to have them. I only hope they will be ok if trouble starts.

Oooh, I love goat babies! There were a couple at our county fair last year and my little Jack got to hold one. So, so cute! Enjoy them!!

[seraphim]

hmmm have you considered that little piece of retro technology called a donkey? I hear they are capable of carrying 150 to 200 pounds of gear up rugged terrain for hours at a time, can be recharged if given access to raw roadside vegan biofuels, and have been known to engage in stimulating conversation in the presence of angry angels wielding big swords.

[torainfor]

My uncle bred draft mules (mammoth jack to a draft mare), so I got to show donkeys in county fairs. Never went hiking with one, but my uncle used his mules for hunting all the time, as well as for pulling sleighs all over Spokane during Christmas time.

In other news, I guess the latest hiking accoutrement is the goat:

Dutches: A, that's nice. Did you get a picture?

Serephim: haha! Actually yeah,I did consider a dokey. *nods* Even joked about geting a camel! (which would be pretty stinking awasome inmyopinion ) but the issue there is having to buy it. I've got so many expenses lately and not much income.. so yeah... I'm already going to be missing some work on the trip as it is.

Torainfor: Ah, cool. sounds exciting. But yeah... goats are used in several places as pack animals. *nods*

[Christian Soldier]

No! No Camels! Lol. Trust me, if the spitting doesn't get you, wait until the camel decides it's time for a break... in the middle of a busy highway.

[duchessashley]

Camels are actually very popular in the weirdest places! My uncle lives in Stillwater, OK and there is a farm near him that has camels. And there was a place near Canton, TX that had exotic animals of all kinds. It's very strange to drive down the busy I-20 and see camels.
And Jax, of course I got a picture! What proud mama wouldn't take a picture of her little boy kissing a baby goat? It will be useful later when he gets himself a girlfriend. ;D

[torainfor]

My cousin, daughter of the donkey-owners, went on a school trip to Spain and Morocco. While in Morocco, a local told her he'd give her dad so many camels if she'd stay and be his wife. When she old him, he asked where his camels were--they're valuable!

[veritasseeker90]

Sorry, for this off topic-ness, but when my brother-in-law married my sister. That was the joke between them. Only he's not middle eastern.

So my sister/husband bought tan pom-poms and made little camels and gave to my dad in a crate that she got her doves in.

[torainfor]

My uncle's cousin was engaged to a man from Lebanon. Afraid for her safety, he threw a royal fit. Then they told him he was from Lebanon, Oregon.

[jax nova]

Christian Soldier: lol yeah, I've heard camels can be quite stuborn!

The Duchess: Stillwater?! wow that's like only a few hours away from here!! lol I never would have guessed there would be camels so close.
haa, I'm sure he will appreciate you showing that to his girlfriend when he gets one.

torainfor: wow... I bet she felt awkward when the guy asked her that. I guess it's just the cultural differences there.
Haha... that's funny. I didn't even know there was a lebanon Oregon.


veritasseeker90: Ah, that's fine! I get off subject half the time it seems. and I'm the one that started the subject! Funny story, though.




Well, as far as Reality: "" goes it's been cazy busy but ina good way! We sorted and worked catle, have had 6 babby goats (expecting two more) and we've done some fencing, and are milking one of our goats (will start milking the others soon) and I am making goat milk cheese (which is rather fun) and we have more fencing to do today... AND I finally got a refrigerator for my house and got the pipe to fix the pluming ordered which should be in Wendsday and then I'll be ready to move in after that is finished.... and...My Dad, brother, and I have a funeral to sing at tomorow, and... *takes deep breath* I have my music assignment and writing assignment todo... yeah it's been nuts, but fun!


Jax Nova: Our journey has finall taken us toit's end. A fortres of robers and bandits. There is a small town nearby that the two young children we found came from. Their parents are dead, but many in the town strugle on in atempts to please the robers in exchange for their lives.

It was just past dusk when we set up, surounding the camp of the robers and taking them off guard. Our bowmen were greatlyoutnumbered but surprise and stealth won us the day with only one casualty. The goods from the robers were distributed back to the towns people and in exchange they gave us some goat milk cheese for our journey home.

It took some convincing to get the two kids to stay at the village, but after sad goodbys we parted ways. Our journey back, hopefully, will be a quick and uneventfull one.

[jax nova]

Well, I have not been on here in quite some time and life has been super busy so I am not sure how long it will be until i will be able to ome back on here.

So anyon interested out there just know I'll be absent for an unknown amount of time.

[fluke]

I can imagine being gone. In Bryan County Oklahoma, I used to raise sheep. This is the lambing season. I do not know if goats are on the same schedule. I then went to college in Stillwater. Loved it there. Llamas were the thing in Bryan County, not camels. But I hear camels are smarter. They are, after all, the greatest mathematicians on the Disc.
