Good shot , anyway.

We're taking votes on a name for our flying thingamajig, (The castle and its attendant enclosures that we plan to take to Mars).

So far, these are the nominees: (and some ringers)

UTS Stunebringer;
UTS Stunehenge;
UTS Spinnaker;
UTS Triple Play;
UTS Metripolitan;
UTS Asylum;
UTS Astral Asylum;
UTS Fate’s Fling;
UTS Goosed Moose;
UTS Tremulous;
UTS Windward Phalanx;
UTS Nautilus;
UTS Vger;
UTS ’Face’s Place;
UTS Sirius

I'm assuming that's all the entries. Shall we vote?
(The early money is on Stunebringer or Stunehenge.)

I like "Astral Asylum" best. Can I claim permanent refugee status :-)?

UTS Fate’s Fling?

I dunno, Fate hates my guts and she throws me curves all the time.

Stunebringer and Stunehenge sound pretty good.

I went and bought 8 ratchet-strap tie-downs. with some furious screwing around, they ought to do the job
I am now certain there is no local source for rattan of any sort, nor for 2-part epoxy with an appropriate working time.

I will certainly have to wet-bend the core before final assembly.

I am considering using carpenter's glue for the fianl assembly.

My vote is with Stunehenge, since "Stunebrenner" isn't up there.
