starring Tina Fey and … no wait, that’s not it!

Went up north on Saturday to visit a couple of proposed “Trebuchet party”:http://wiki.the-gang.ca/TrebuchetPage sites. We found a “good looking spot”:http://www.cfrq.net/gallery/trebsite and the kids had fun tromping around in the wilderness; they ignored the slight drizzle and even managed to finagle a couple of horseback rides from the neighbours!

Sunday we mostly finished the trebuchet. We “finished the arm”:http://www.cfrq.net/gallery/Trebuchet-a-la-CHABB/The_Arm, but still have to work on the axle support, sling, sling release, and trigger; and we only finished one of the two braces for the uprights. Still, we should be finished in time for the party in two weeks.
