Ingress Is More Fun Than Packing

[billroper]

Hearing that I was a bit short on gear, Peter Heltzer invited me up to an Ingress farming session in Vernon Hills. I brought Katie and Julie along and they had a fine time playing with the Heltzer boys (for the most part -- any interaction between young children is subject to sudden change :) ). And I have a great deal more gear.

We grilled steaks and had them with baked potatoes and sweet corn for dinner to celebrate the end of summer vacation. Then we went out to Dairy Queen for the same reason and I used some of the newly acquired gear to take out a portal next door...

Now, we are trying to get little girls to bed. And finish packing everything up. Foolishly, I thought I could get all of the files in the office into four bankers boxes. This might have worked, except the large filing cabinet is full of legal-sized files.

Ah, well. There are more boxes in the basement...

So glad you could come out and join us! We ended up going to Tsukasa for dinner... without the hibachi table. Eli was thrilled... tasty food with no fire!

No argument on Ingress... I had about a half hour to kill and managed to finish a local mission between things. (It also put me a little closer to the next level which is currently points locked vs badge locked, although it might go badge locked due to one upgrading beyond what they require. (Too many gold, not enough silver.))
