So Many Things, So Little Time...July Update

Star Wars Galaxies for the EMU on
Bloodfin Server
With the wipe of Bloodfin and Pub 8 release, my focus has been on Star Wars Galaxies and getting my tunes back up and running.  Have no fear though, the Mighty Bounty Hunter Remo is up and running.  What would the great Bounty Hunter Remo Williams be if he didn't have his collegue Chiun around.  Yes, Chiun has been re-created once again, although this time he will be my Jedi. Chiun the Jedi and Remo the Bounty Hunter.  How could this not be more fitting to my two favorite charcters?  So Remo has been leveled up and now the long grind with Chiun.  Chiun has the feint sense of the force within himself, so it's only a matter of time, and a few more missions.


Harvested Apples
 
What have I put on the back burner?  Warships for one.  The fearsome Captain Atoric has been dry docked for a little while.  But when I get caught back up with SWG, you can believe the famous Capt Atoric will be on the high seas again, causing hate, discontent, and havoc!

Tabletop wargaming is coming along, slow albeit surely/  I am working on getting my Sci-Fi hatches.  Maybe a few more walls and a floor.  Once that is complete, I have a scenario all ready to go.  I did get my order from Pulp Figures (https://pulpfigures.com/).  So I have those to paint up.  I have also received flight bases from Litko Game Accessories (http://www.litko.net/).  I have officially mounted BSG-75 Battlestar Galactica.  The Pegasus is painted, and she will be mounted next (get your mind out of the damn gutter!).

That's it for the gaming.  All of this is sidelined to my garden.  Everything is coming along nicely, although my battle this year is the heat.  That seems to be my Numero Uno (as that Mexican fella) would say.  We have harvested one of hopefully two, maybe three yields off my Anna Apple Tree.

Of course this is what you get when you have an apple tree.  Oh my dear, yes all of this is as yummer as it looks.
 
Then of course there is the pickling of my cucumbers.

Tomatoes are still blooming, fruiting, and ripening.  I do have one batch of juice to cook and freeze, but no pictures of that yet.  So thats my July.  But what post would not be complete without my two babies?
