When things fail.

.

If something isn't working, I like to know why.  So, I start digging.  The game, for example.  I doubt how much anything will help, but doubt isn't a stoppage, merely a tool.  Like a hammer, you may consider it, when needing pliers or a wrench, but on reconsideration, perhaps the other tool will work best.

Doubt is set aside, and the thing reexamined.  In this case, and so far, I have found a mechanic that I had been ignoring.  There are so many and varied mechanics in the game, that... keeping up on them all is a devil's game.  It's in the details.  So, I am beginning to explore this.  It is more detailed than even first thought, and not simply applied.  Are there other systems and mechanics not found, not understood, not used?  Maybe.  But, for now, there is this one.

Next, I will reexamine spells.  Perhaps, at this level, I haven't really looked those over well enough, found many after the initial flush, etc.  When I have dabbled a bit more, and explored some other issues, I may try again.  Or... not.  If I don't think it has offered enough more capacity, I won't continue with the game.

No response from my email.  So, other than signing certain papers, I will do other things as if it was moving forward.

And, I just finished browning the pork roast, then getting it in the oven.  Salted, peppered, with garlic powder, but with an fresh onion peeled, split, and put on top.  If it gets really juicy, I'll put the onions under, and set the roast upon them.  I'm hoping an half hour, forty five minutes?  The thermometer will tell.

Then, after those things, a trip to town.  A fax to send, something to send back.  Maybe several things.  So, a shower first, I suppose.  Then, later, if possible, I'll get back to work.  Sorting boxes and items, clearing some areas, taking down the bed base and storing that.  Things... to do.  Later.
