		+	Small note today, I was only on for maybe 20 minutes, and caught a gazelle! I should really get on this test, at least the easy stuff like frogs and gazelles. Maybe fennecs, too, while people are still reporting their locations.

		+	Wine compound complete, now to fill it with stuff. Went papy-ing in order to run firepits and found a plethora of pearls! One medium, one large, and two huges! Was able to help Zowee out with the huge, so now we both have +2 permanent endurance. Excellent.

		+	<br>
		+	Also discovered today that I can dual-client my spouse tuttenrah's account so I finally took us to finish our worship init. I'm surprised at how slowly I'm advancing this tale. I thought I was faster last tale, I don't remember any tests being released that I wasn't immediately able to start but this tale there are plenty still taunting me.

		+	Ugh. The large amount of stuff on my to-do list is having the effect of making me unproductive. It's laziness, but laziness inspired by work. The more things I know I have to do, the less I want to do them. There's my attempt at an excuse for hardly getting anything done today. I got the flax finished, which was the last material required for my wine compound, and now I just have to ship it out there over the course of the next few tends. I also got the brass plates and copper straps completed for cooperage, with a couple extra straps to get a start on the 100 barrels I'm gonna want.

	Tending and adding more to the compound. I didn't have as much time as I'd hoped tonight, which just means more work for the weekend. Let's see, I have to go mining and use the reactory (have I picked up that tech yet?) to get cooperage and try to get a start on the wine barrels. I need to get around to learning carving so that I can make the millions of barrel taps I'm going to need, and that means glass for the blades. While I'm at it, I should probably try getting some fine glass rods together to either purchase or attempt to make wine glasses, based on the availability of sellers. The last things left to finish the compound expansion are all flax based, so I need to get some of that done. Interspersed amongst all that, I have to keep tending those vines. I'm about 11 tends in and some of them are still ~70 vigor, so I have a lot more tending required before the end of the vintage.		Tending and adding more to the compound.

		+	Viticulture has been unlocked in Celaeno! Finally I have purpose! In a foolhardy move, I ran directly there in the hopes that someone would be willing to offer me some fish or a cutting. Poor choice. Came home after about 30 minutes and gave fishing a try. Another poor choice, but I found lots of river crab! Decided instead to spend the holiday weekend gathering mats for the grandest vineyards Egypt has ever seen! Well, at least that I've ever seen.

	After preparing some flax to go with yesterday's papyrus I lit up the firepits again. Much better results this time around, maybe there were fewer distractions or something. After letting the pits run for ~30 minutes I was able to pull 65 ash and 23 lime from each. That should give the glassmakers something to work with!

I've have available enough flax, leeks, lime, and wood to run four firepits and will spend tomorrow at work trying to convince myself to grow some papyrus in the evening.

	Uneventful night, not a lot of people online. Signed up for demi-pharoah, finished collecting mats for principles of worship, built a 7-height obelisk for the level, and found one pearl. The fact that we can start earning permanent endurance plus the fact that just about anyone can swim right from the start is a really great improvement on last tales, in my opinion, and I'm someone that "cheated" my way into a cicada pass last tale by using a long-range ferry to place my cages out of reach. I look forward to NOT hearing that whine until airships come out.		Uneventful night, not a lot of people online.

 I hope someone figures out gems, though.  Four of us worked the mine together in an attempt to crush as many of the rocks as possible and we only ever got small diamonds.  As a theory, we spent about 5 minutes looking at a certain set of rocks and trying to figure out how to crush the maximum number of them.  Using five people and working some sets more than others we were able to crush 6 of the 7 rocks... and got more small diamonds.  Oh well.

 Stumbled around camp tonight being anything but useful.  I'm much too lazy to go running around until the chariots are repaired, and as such I can only really assist with menial tasks.  Grew some flax, made some rope.  Gathered a ton of grass to try to attract a camel and was unsuccessful.  Gathered a ton more, and finally caught our third camel (the needed male) overnight.
 <br>
 It seems to me that my rhythmic strength is not developing.  As I type this, I'm faintly remembering some sort of cap to that skill based on the quality of scythe.  I hope that's the case, because it took me about 800 grass to get level 2, and it's been another 3 or 4 thousand without an additional increase.  I guess I'll see what happens once glass scythes become available

 The day started with the required tasks to become a citizen.  Once that was completed, a home location for the guild was chosen and we started plopping down compounds, with a quick lightning zap for initiating into the school of architecture.  Closed out the day with plenty of flaxing, the goal is to get guild construction unlocked as soon as possible.
