Craft Show, Raffle, and More!

On the 16th of August from 9 AM – 2 PM we are going to have our Sixth Annual Craft Show, which kicks off our big end of Summer Raffle Basket fundraiser, and before either of those we also have an event this Thursday at Texas Roadhouse.

Shannon and I recently had a conversation about how we like our steak.

Shannon: I know that I like to have my steak cooked medium well, but how do you like your steak?
Sean: Guess.
Shannon: Medium rare?
Sean: Well done!
Shannon: Ummm…

So when we go to Texas Roadhouse this Thursday after work we can safely order each others food.

I remember the last time I was there I had a waiter ask me, ‘How did you find your steak?’

I simply replied, “I just looked next to my potatoes, and there it was!”

When you stop at Texas Roadhouse this Thursday between 3 PM and 10 PM, be sure to either bring a copy of the flyer with you or show them the picture of the flyer on your phone. Shannon and I will be stopping in after work ourselves that evening.

This Saturday is our Sixth Annual Craft Show, and if you want you can still grab a table in exchange for a $25 donation. Of course, organizing this craft show reminds me of the time I had the really unusual opportunity to organize Dwayne Johnson’s craft room. Unfortunately, I lost his scrapbook cutting tool. That’s right, I lost the Rock’s paper scissors. Hopefully I will still be able to find my scissors when this craft show is done.

At our craft show we’ll be grilling wonderful food, and kicking off our raffle basket. I’ve always enjoyed raffles ever since my Dad won a raffle when I was a kid. He won a baguette. Yep, my Dad was the bread winner.

There are going to be a lot of great raffles, including one with tickets for the Steelers vs Dolphins game.

The tickets will be priced as follow:

1 ticket for $1
7 tickets for $5
16 tickets for $10
40 tickets for $20

The raffles will be drawn on Labor Day, Monday, September 1st at 4 PM.

I should talk about some of the other things we have coming up in the not too distant future:

Thursday, August 14th, 3PM – 10PM, Texas Roadhouse, Texas Roadhouse in the Monroeville/Wilkins location will be host a fundraiser for Lost and Found.
Friday, August 15th, 6:30ish – 9ish, Board Game Night ~ This has long been a tradition to come in on a Friday and have fun playing games.
Saturday, August 16th, 9AM – 2PM, Sixth Annual Craft Show ~ This year’s craft show will have lots of activities, grilled foods, and raffle baskets! Be sure to stop in and check things out.
Saturday, August 16th, 1PM – 3PM, Tech Help ~ We are a handful of tech heads that like technology and would like to help you with your stuff. We can help with cell phone, tablet, and computer problems/questions. We can talk with you about the latest tech like streaming TV, home security, cyber security, etc. This is all done for free, you just need to come in and ask for help.
Saturday, August 16th, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bereans Group ~ This group, which is open to the public, we always discuss tough theological questions and rarely come to consensus. This time we are discussing whether or not the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creed are still pertinent.
Tuesday, August 19th, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bible Study ~ We are studying Malachi and this week we will be studying Chapter 2.
Wednesday, August 20th, 5PM – 7PM, Bill and Ted: Face the Music ~ Ever since this film this film was released during the pandemic Art and I have been trying to convince Shannon that we should show this film on a movie night. In fact, Art and I can often be heard shouting, ‘We are Wild Stallions’ followed by us making fake guitar noises. Somewhere along the way we finally broke Shannon.
Thursday, September 4th, 5:15 PM, Book Club ~ The first Thursday of every month our book club gets together and discusses a different book. This time we’ll be discussing All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr.
Saturday, September 6th, 11AM – Noon, LEGO Contest ~ We will be having a dinosaur themed LEGO competition for kids ranging in age from pre-K through 6th grade. There is no entry fee and we have some really cool prizes fro various age categories.

Now for the part everyone always asks about, the actual food! Our soup is our very popular white chicken chili and our sandwich is a pizza panini! Our specialty ice creams are Black Cherry and Caramel Cookie Twist and soon will be releasing a cookie butter milkshake using cookie butter we made ourselves.

Thanks and God bless,
Sean

Story 99

They look like scales

You muse aloud, “The Drift System is a dangerous place, any kind of improvement to our hull might make a big difference.”

The merchant pulls out his communicator and starts yelling at someone on the other end, “Look K-2, none of your attitude — bring me a pallet of duranium plates.” The merchant cranes his head around to look at the numbered designation on the wall, “Haul them to docking bay 69.”

He turns his attention back to your engineer, “While we wait, how about getting me another beer.”

Reluctantly, your engineer steps away to oblige, clearly unwilling to ruin this merchant’s rare generosity.

Moments later, you emerge onto the docking platform to find the merchant sipping a frothy ale. A tall, black-and-gray droid pushes in a grav-sled piled high with gleaming duranium plates. Without hesitation, the merchant and droid begin tack-welding the plates in a tight pattern that looks for all the world like fish scales. In no time at all, your ship’s sides are completely sheathed in the new armor.

The merchant wipes his hands on his coat and calls to your engineer, “Next step: we’ve got to tweak your electrostatic barrier from inside.”

Your engineer motions you aboard via the ramp. “Right this way.”

You follow along, bringing up the rear, feeling like a spectator onboard your own ship.

Inside engineering, the merchant directs the droid: “K-2, trace the barrier’s power couplings and install a bridge-accessible polarity toggle switch.”

Within minutes, K-2 announces, “Task completed,” as it snaps the tactical console back together.

The merchant strides over, flips the electrostatic barrier on, then off again. “I’ve magnetized those duranium plates to the hull. The magnetic field holds them tighter than tack welds ever could. If you don’t want to burn through shields when something’s closing fast, just reverse the barrier’s polarity with this switch. It’ll fling the plates away from the hull, taking the hit for you. Just remember, it’s a one-time deal.”

Place the Modification: Hull Plates hex next to your ship mat. As long as you continue to use this specific ship, you’ll have the one time option to block all damage from an attack by launching the plates off your ship.

Story 98

Re-arranging the deck plates

You admit, loud enough for the merchant to hear you, “We’re always tight on space, a little more storage could make a big difference for this operation.”

The merchant turns to your engineer, “I’ll need you to get some tools for me: a hammer drill, a plasma torch, a spanner, and several magnetic clamps. If you don’t have any on hand, I’ll need you to print some self-sealing stem bolts, and grab me another beer.”

Soon, the merchant is working with a torch in one hand and a beer in the other. Before long, he’s shifting floor plates and rearranging various conduits. Eventually, he’s using one last self-sealing stem bolt to secure the final deck plate in place.

Place both of the Modification: Storage hexes next to your ship mat. As long as you continue to use this specific ship, you’ll have two extra non-contiguous storage spaces. These spaces may be used to transport or install anything. These storage spaces can not hold damage.

Story 97

Building a better engine

All of those options sound enticing, yet… “What this ship could truly use is greater speed.”

As soon as you convey this wish to your unexpected benefactor, he immediately yanks his communicator out and starts barking orders into it, “Okay K-2 grab some nano bots along with some ceramic slip and meet in the launch bay.” His eyes wander around until he sees the location ID. “I’m in bay 69.”

As the merchant puts his communicator away and looks at your engineer. “Grab me another beer while we wait for my android to show up with everything.”

Soon, you join everyone in engineering where there is a flurry of activity. A large two meter tall black and gray robot named K-2 is pouring a gray ceramic slip into an engine manifold along with an open vial of nanobots beside it. Meanwhile your engineer is attaching additional duct work to the plasma chamber and clearly the merchant himself is reprogramming the fuel intermix. The activity is accompanied by the sound of clanging metal, the distinct smell of energy rods, and the metallic tang of solder.

Soon, you possess an engine that’s finely tuned and primed to deliver the swiftness you’ve longed for.

Place the Modification: Engine Hex next to your ship mat. As long as you continue to use this specific ship, you’ll have an extra 1d4 every time it’s activated. The extra 1d4 can go above the engine’s originally intended maximum speed and will work with a GTS mod. The GTS mod may now also take your ship’s engine over its intended maximum. This bonus only works as long as you’ve got this engine on this ship. As soon as either is upgraded, this bonus goes away.

Story 96

Merchant

You can feel the mechanical rumbling of the hydraulics on the boarding ramp as it descends. You glance at the monitor, which reveals two people slowly making their way up the ramp. Your ship’s engineer had disembarked from your vessel a couple of hours ago to go get a raktajino and some relaxation, ‘R&R’ as he was calling it. He’s come back to the ship, but he isn’t alone. The other person with him is swaying slightly with the all too familiar gait of one who is inebriated.

You open a comm channel to find out what’s going on.

“Hey Chief, any luck finding a decent raktajino?” you inquire, your voice crackling through the ship’s intercom.

“Aye Captain, apparently they serve them in the bar down in the casino. While I was there though, I ran into someone you might know.”

Recognition dawns on you as you squint at the monitor. You recognize the drunken individual from his bald pate. He’s the merchant that runs Gadgets N’ Outfits.

Continuing, your engineer explains, “He’d been there for quite a while, and, well, he believes that I may have tipped him off on his last hand of cards while I was walking past the card table. Afterwards, I might also have bought him a couple more drinks. He started raving about all these simple enhancements spacers could make to their ships but never bother to.”

“It’s ridiculous,” the merchant slurs, his speech thick with the effects of alcohol. “Spacers just don’t have a clue how to use their stuff e-fish…e-fish-ent…efficiently.” It takes him three tries to complete that last word, which detracts somewhat from his bluster.

“So Captain, when I was telling our local merchant about our ship he had all kinds of ideas on how to improve it, but I don’t think we should push our luck too much on his generosity.” The engineer leans in closer to the comms, his voice dropping to a near whisper, “Also, I doubt he’ll stay upright long enough to help us with more than one of his brilliant suggestions.”

You quietly ask your engineer, “Do you really think this is a good idea?”

Continuing to whisper, your engineer responds, “He might be a conceited drunk, but he’s also a genius. I’ll check his work to make sure that we don’t end up regretting his assistance.”

Understanding the situation, but also wanting to know your options, you raise your voice, ensuring the merchant can hear you clearly. “What kind of improvements are we discussing here?”

With a slightly exaggerated gesture, the merchant squints at the ship and begins to list his offer. “Well, I could improve your FTL drive. I could get you a little more storage space on this tin can. I could even reinforce your hull for the next time you find yourself in a scrum.”

Your engineer asks, “So Captain, what do you think?”

If you choose to not accept any help at all and send the merchant home to sleep it off, the story ends here and you may continue your turn.

If you want to improve your engines, listen to/read Story 97.

If you want to gain some extra storage, listen to/read Story 98.

If you want to improve your ship’s hull, listen to/read Story 99.

Lost and Found Pharmacy on the move!

Sometimes things conspire to let us know when it’s time to move, which is well demonstrated by a conversation Shannon and I had the other day.

Shannon calmly stated, “If I could rearrange the alphabet I’d move U…Cause you’re blocking the TV.”

Always talking about moving has me pretty excited and I keep thinking about this song from the movie, Madgascar:

In the case of Lost and Found we’ve been renting in our current location for nearly ten years and we have seen the challenges of renting. We are looking for more space and the opportunity to put down permanent roots. We’ve saved the community millions of dollars and we believe that a place of our own will put us in a better position long term to help even more. That said, we want to invite you to participate in a number of up coming activities to help us raise the funds we need to move.

This Saturday, weather permitting, we’re having another Car Cruise with lot’s of good food and a fifty-fifty raffle.

Thursday, August 14th from 3 PM to 10 PM, Texas Road House is donating 10% of it’s sales to Lost and Found Pharmacy.

Saturday, August 16th from 9 AM to 2 PM is our Sixth Annual Craft Show and kicks off our raffle basket fundraiser. Be sure to stop in and register for a table if you’re interested in participating in the craft show.

If you are interested in donating a basket to our Basket Raffle, please do so by the 16th of August. The raffle will begin selling tickets on August 17th and the drawing will be held on Labor Day, September 2nd at 4PM.

The tickets will be priced as follow:

1 ticket for $1
7 tickets for $5
16 tickets for $10
40 tickets for $20

All these fundraisers remind me of the time my personal account got hacked. The person that hacked me was so disappointed when he saw my balance that he started a fundraiser for me.

Stay tuned for other fundraiser activities, and jokes, coming up.

We’ve also got a lot of other things coming up in the not too distant future:

Friday, July 25th, 6:30ish – 9ish, Board Game Night ~ This has long been a tradition to come in on a Friday and have fun playing games. Join us every Friday and learn a large range of games.
Saturday, July 26th, Noon – 3PM, Car Cruise ~ Lost and Found Pharmacy will be having it’s third car cruise of the Summer along with trophies and food out on the grill.
Saturday, July 26th, 1PM – 3PM, Tech Help ~ A handful of tech heads that like technology and would like to help you with your stuff. We can help with cell phone, tablet, and computer problems/questions. We can talk with you about the latest tech like streaming TV, home security, cyber security, etc. We can even talk about the latest tech rumors, like that Netflix and Yahoo might be merging and moving to Israel. Apparently they’ll be known as Net ‘n’ Yahoo.
Saturday, July 26th, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bereans Group ~ This group, which is open to the public, we always discuss tough theological questions and rarely come to consensus. This time we are discussing ‘repentance’.
Tuesday, July 29th, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bible Study ~ The end is nigh! We are studying Revelation, and are currently in chapter 21. Feel free to join our group to be a part of this study.
Saturday, August 2nd, 11ish AM – ??, Crafty Crew ~ Our Crafty Crew is back working on lots of fun projects while spinning yarns. I’m sure they’ll have everyone in stitches. They will be here every other Saturday.
Thursday, August 7th, 5:15 PM, Book Club ~ Our intrepid book club is reading a fantastic fiction from Andy Weir titled Project Hail Mary. I know I love this book and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.
Saturday, August 16th, 9AM – 2PM, Craft Show ~ We’ll be hosting our Sixth Annual Craft Show and kicking off our basket raffle.

Now for the part everyone always asks about, the food! Our specialty sandwich is a pizza panini, and our current soup is the Soup-er popular chicken tortilla soup. Our current specialty ice creams are Graham Central Station and Orange Blossom. Also, while it lasts, our current stuffed shake is a S’More Milkshake with marshmallows, graham crackers, milk chocolate, chocolate chips, Nutella, whipped cream and more!

Thanks and God bless,
Sean

Prepare for the Flag Day Pet Parade!

Clearly our dog, Xanax, is ready for the Parade this Saturday starting at 2PM. The parade will be held outside and Judges will be giving out awards. There is no entry fee, so dress up your pet and bring it out. Only service animals will be allowed in the store.

Speaking of dogs, I spotted an albino dalmatian the other day. I figured it was the least I could do.

Speaking of patriotic themed items, we are showing the new Captain America movie this coming Wednesday at 5 PM on our movie screen.

That reminds me of a recent trip Shannon and I took to the movie theater. We sat down and noticed that the man in front of us brought his dog and it was sitting on the seat next to him. Shannon and I thought it was unusual, but since we likes dogs we decided that as long as the dog was not a distraction we wouldn’t mention it.

The movie starts and pretty soon there’s a funny part. The dog makes some low woofing sounds that seem like laughter. After awhile there was a sad part and the dog appeared to be weeping. This continues throughout the whole film and Shannon and I are astounded.

When the lights come up I tap the dog’s owner on the shoulder and tell him, “I gotta say, and I know it sounds weird, but it seemed like your dog really enjoyed this movie.”

The dog’s owner looks at the dog and nods. “I know, it really is weird,” he says, “because he absolutely hated the book.”

We also have another car cruise coming up on Saturday June 21st. We’ll have classic cars, food out on the grill and an all around great time. This had me thinking about creating a quick crossword puzzle about cars. Shannon did shoot down my idea as the first question that I wanted to include, ‘What starts with G-A-S and is ten letters long?’. The answer would have been, ‘AUTOMOBILE’!

We also will have a cook out at Lost and Found for the 4th of July followed by a beach themed LEGO contest on the 5th.

Kid’s really love our LEGO competitions. They’re always lined up for blocks.

I should probably tell you about what else we have coming up in the not too distant future:

Friday, June 13th, 6:30ish – 9ish, Board Game Night ~ This has long been a tradition to come in on a Friday and have fun playing games. Join us every Friday and learn a large range of games.
Saturday, June 14th, 1PM – 3PM, Tech Help ~ A handful of tech heads that like technology and would like to help you with your stuff. We can help with cell phone, tablet, and computer problems/questions. We can talk with you about the latest tech like streaming TV, home security, cyber security, etc. This is all done for free, you just need to come in and ask for help.

Space Honey

A request is sent through the omni, reaching every spacer. Their broadcast is heard far and wide. Two Strayons, clad in crisp white lab coats, appear on your view screen. One looks male and the other female.

The female begins, “I am Shoni, and this is my colleague Rodi. Firstly, we are immensely proud of the achievements of our many scientists, engineers, and courageous explorers who have helped us establish a new home, simply named New Strayos. We come with an important request for our people.”

The male, Rodi, continues, “Despite this great accomplishment, we face several challenges, notably the need to populate our new world. We intentionally limited childbirth on our Colony Ship, but now we suspect that our prolonged time in space may have resulted in a lasting reduction in our… um.”

“For goodness’ sake, Rodi, we’re scientists. You should be able to openly discuss our decreased sexual proclivity with others,” Shoni interrupts.

Rodi, looking embarrassed, continues, “We are grateful to the spacers who helped resolve the issues caused by the space wasps. Interestingly, scans of The Hive show some intriguing chemical properties that might be highly useful for… um.”

With a resigned sigh, Shoni takes over, “It seems that the space honey from The Hive possesses potent aphrodisiac qualities which could significantly bolster our efforts to populate our new world.”

She casts a sidelong glance at Rodi, who resumes, “The Strayons are willing to offer generous payment for this space honey, and those who assist in harvesting it will have an important role in the legacy of our people.”

Shoni, now satisfied with Rodi’s contribution, concludes, “Anyone bringing space honey to our Colony Ship on New Strayos will be rewarded with 3,000 credits per cargo unit. Those who deliver two or more units will receive accolades from our people. On behalf of the citizens of New Strayos, we extend our heartfelt thanks in advance for your support during this critical time.”

Place the ‘Space Honey Harvest’ hex tile on the position in The Hive where the Hive Queen initially spawned. When harvesting space honey on this tile, roll a [d20]. On a roll of 1 add a new Hive Queen immediately adjacent to you if there is currently not a Hive Queen. Otherwise a roll of 1-10 will spawn an additional Wasp Drone. Any Wasps hatched by the harvesting process immediately attack you prior to the end of your turn. If a new Queen is hatched, then after the current player’s turn the Queen will once again follow the rules and logic outlined on The Hive NPC card. A roll of 11-20 will result in successfully harvesting space honey. There are only a total of 10 units of space honey and they are not replenished.

Place a ‘Space Honey Sell’ hex tile on New Strayos. When a ship delivers Space Honey, they receive 3,000 credits and if they sell 2 or more units of Space Honey, they also receive a Fame Point.

The Atomizer

As your favorite omni broadcast cuts to a commercial, you notice a familiar short man with a bald pate, a constant smirk, and a puffy green shirt. Observing his bald head—with a fringe of dark hair still framing the sides—you can’t help but wonder, “What kind of universe lets us replace an artificial heart for someone named Picard, yet can’t cure male pattern baldness?”

The man begins, “You may have noticed that many spacers are dying in inconvenient locations, making it increasingly difficult to safely navigate the drift system.”

The scene shifts to a family aboard a starship. They gaze out an observation window at a sprawling debris field as a voice comes over the ship’s comm system: “Attention all passengers, we have encountered an unexpected debris field. If we detour around it, you’ll be late for the spacers’ fair. Should we try to go through it, there’s a 15% chance we’ll blow up and completely miss the fair. We are currently reviewing options on the bridge.”

The child looks sadly at his parents before whining, “But…I was really hoping to get some funnel cake.”

We cut back to the familiar bald man, who continues, “If you’re a spacer, you might have thought it was INCONCEIVABLE that no one tackled this problem sooner. Fear not, my spacefaring friends, for I’ve developed a blaster mod available exclusively at Gadgets N’ Outfits on the Kiln. For just 1,000 credits, you can purchase the Atomizer (trademark pending) and use it to clear debris fields.”

The scene returns to the child, now clearly at the spacers’ fair enjoying a funnel cake, as a voiceover adds, “Act quickly, and Gadgets N’ Outfits will throw in a free lavender essential oil with the purchase of an Atomizer. Let’s face it, spacers, even sonic showers can leave you less than fresh—a touch of lavender will make your ship that much more livable.”

Once again, the screen cuts back to the familiar bald man, who announces, “Now back to that drivel you were watching. I like to think of it as chewing gum for the eyes.”

Your favorite omni broadcast resumes.

The Atomizer counts as both a gadget and a mod and must be placed on an activation spot on a blaster that has no other mods. When activated, you may choose to use it either as a blaster or to clear a debris field. Clearing the debris field happens automatically. If the debris was created by the destruction of a ship, you simply remove it from the tile. If it was a pre-existing debris field, you cover it with an empty space hex. Note that any resources within a debris field are destroyed by the Atomizer. Additionally, if a ship is in the targeted debris field, the Atomizer will not function. Every two debris fields removed by a player earns them 1 Fame Point.
