Speaking of the Castle...

Kat asks up in the H&I above when I'm going to move the German WWII K5 gun (or something similar) to the Castle. All I can say is, I don't have the rail spur in yet.

That doesn't mean there hasn't been some progress.

First off, Sergeant S'mudge had her first long weekend as Acting Commander of Castle Argghhh! and did just fine. All her rekeets survived, and based on their flying capabilities they demonstrated on Sunday, she drilled them while we were gone, and based on the growth, the Mess Hall was serving adequate chow.

Equally important, the Vault Door of the Arms Room of Argghhh! was delivered last Thursday, just in time to make us almost late for the plane to DC. Work on the Arms Room itself proceeds apace, this being an update from this morning - when the contractor's guys were there before 8AM.

And lastly, in partial answer to Kat's Koncerns... there *is* some firepower resident at the New Castle, as the migration continues piece by piece. We've got the close-in and medium range fires covered - we can hit anything we can see, and drop into the ravines and crevasses we can't.

Gooolleeeee, Sergeant. I post pics of the Arms Room and some Arms and I don't get a squeak from you folks? Ha-Rumph!

I hope and trust that the Arms Room is stout enough to be a tornado shelter, and that you can open that door from the inside.

All four walls (well, there are actually 6) are concrete, and most of them are below ground. There are no windows in the room. There *is* a water tap. The vault door opens inward. Yes, JTG, I *do* know how to live in tornado country... 8^ )

So, are the members of the Interior Guard schooled in the Tornado Drill? Nah, not likely, kitties find their own shelter. Ya think? Oh, yeah, I shudder to think of moving the kitties to the new place, knowing that they fear change more than I do, even.
