count down has begun

well...the event is creeping closer and the calls for inclement weather are still out there. we are getting another tent that doesn't leak, which should help me release some of my grip on the bottle of xanax.

the family that we are with says they will not cancel their plans unless there is a call for severe storms or a tornado. again...who are these people and why do they find this experience so exciting? but it is a damn good thing they are going because they know how to build fires and have things like camping checklists and actual camping gear. i wonder if they have a multi-tool, i could sit and figure out what all the "tools" do while the others build the fire...
