We had to quit moving at around eleven so we could fix everybody lunch. We had some saber tooth stew and vegetables. It was very good. We then went ba...k to work and finished up about an hour later. I showed Grunto and Valkorla around, showing off my two smokers, our fence, and the main cave area. Both men were highly impressed with the cave and especially their rooms. We then sat down and we talked with Joulnar, Tovar, Grunto, and Valkorla. Thorf and Eriken also sat in as their second in. It must be just like driving the tractor. But it wasn't.
