Weekend (16 May) - A Short Week

We had a great time at the RV park over the weekend. It was pretty full since they had a half price promotion going, but it's a great park and we really enjoyed it - as did our dog and the three cats we took with us. :-)

We are going to be on the road again this week (Tues-Thurs), heading to Palm Springs for a couple of days to visit friends who used to live in San Diego. We're not taking the RV this time, though. We will be kenneling our dog for the first time since we got her from the shelter. She'll be well cared for. We kenneled our previous dog there for years, and the owners are good friends. We brought our dog by the kennel last week just to visit and get her used to the place and the people.

Game time has been pretty light. Happy had to get his business done, of course. The deal with the player who wanted to buy all of Happy's small radiant shards ended after only three sales. He didn't like my pricing and frankly I was making more gold competing with him on the one product he was making with those shards - the Fiery Weapon enchant. I like how Happy thinks.

Philly was able to squeeze in one random Battlegrounds run in Alterac Valley, which we won. She also got in two random dungeons for the badges. Gear-wise the pickings have been very slim from the dungeon runs, so Happy has been keeping an eye out for under-priced gear on the Auction House. Even i219/i226 gear is running at over 1,000 gold each, though. The i245 stuff runs 5k+ and the i264 runs as high as 20k gold, well out of Happy's price range. The MM guild had an Ulduar run planned for Sunday, which Philly logged in to check on, but there weren't enough guildies around to run it. I checked out the MM guild website, but no one had posted there in more than two weeks. Obviously not used much. The FS guild website isn't exactly full of new posts, either.

I signed up my account to try an get into the closed beta test realm for Cataclysm once that is available. I hope I get into that, which would give me an early look at the expansion. I was in on the beta test realm for Burning Crusade once they opened it up to everyone, and that was really cool.
