Jane got the leak fixed. Works like a charm.

She has now tackled hard-piping the front water feature. The hose gave way and created a mess. We think there were two problems, a rock that had fallen against the float-cutoff mechanism, and a split in the hose. So every time you turned on the hose the float would cause it to pour water in without cutoff, and the hose split would flood the area outside the valve box where the float valve is. Cure: remove the rock that’s jamming the cutoff of the float valve, and put a piece of pipe in, instead of the very cheap several-years-old hose.

Shejidani Associates and Members of the Wavy Navy

A hostess gift has been procured.
Your planning committee is now in the dreaded “fund raising” stage.

This year we will be raffling off two Todd Lockwood prints.
Each is a 9.5” x 14” unframed heavy glossy paper poster of cover artwork done by Todd.

The first is the cover from Peacemaker titled Peacemaker with an original Remarque of an ateva with head bowed, personally signed and inscribed ShejiCon V.

The second is a copy of the cover for Tracker titled “Tea and Politics” with a Remarque of the teapot, personally signed and inscribed ShejiCon V.

I’m sure Nand’ CJ will sign as well thus making these posters true collectibles. The cost of shipping for associates unable to attend will be included as part of the prize.

One raffle ticket will cost $10 USD or three tickets for $25 USD with a maximum of six tickets per person, so that everyone has a chance, baji-naji. Additional contributions towards the hostess gift will be gratefully accepted.

Cash payment will be accepted at ShejiCon V until the Space Pirate Barbeque starts. If you cannot attend, we ask that you forward your ticket money via PayPal to ksiplaw [at] hotmail [dot] com no later than 15 August to ensure we have received payment before the festivities. Please make sure to mark it as “sending money to family or friends”, otherwise they hold it as a business transaction and charge a higher transaction fee at this end..

If you have any questions please contact the committee members through bajio [dot] kabisu [at] gmail [dot] com.

Hope to hear from you soon.

CJ, Sorry I hijacked your thread. I hope Jane is recovering from all the hard work and the sunburn.
