So I opened up my email today and what to my wondering eyes should appear?  A red sleigh and 8 tiny rennuci deer!  Craig finally sent me a picture!  I’m going to recuse myself as it was so instantly known to me.. and not because he left a description of it as the name of the image file…but also because it the picture encompassed so much of the subject.  Here’s a much smaller sampling.  I’d have shown less but having to blow up the small image anymore would really make it extraordinarily funky.

Come on Craig.. at this point in the game you should know better than to send such a picture showing so much!  Just saying “must be specific” isn’t gonna be enough to make that a real challenge but Craig did say “you must be specific”! So there you have it.. GO!

Pete supplies the new WIT up there.  The last one was blank, empty, nada, nothing.. that’s what I got from Mr. & Mrs. Weese and Mr. Hughes.  Mr. Calderone wants you to figure this out though..  He’s challenged you.. says you can’t do it.  I never underestimate you folks anymore about WIT pics.. but Pete seems to.  He’s callin you out.  So GO!

Yesterday I took Rossa and I ran some old world content..  Went through Dire Maul North, killing at will.. no tribute run.  Just before the last room with Captain Kromcrush and King Gordok, I summoned Jobu (the shaman), just in case something good dropped he could use.  Of course.. killer hunter legs dropped.  Poor Cerrano.

Next I went to Blackrock Depths and got Rossa attuned to Molten Core.. just ‘cuz.  There will be no soloing in MC though hah.  She barely made it to the zone with the first two Molten Giants stomping on her all the way.  They just have way too much health compared to Rossa’s life expectancy there by herself.  This week I might work on Onyxia chain for the halibut too.

On to Stratholme where Baron Rivendare will surely get sent to see Kelthuzad by Rossa’s holy might!  Uhh.. no.. the Ramstein the Gorger or whatever his name is event got bugged on me.  I don’t remember his name for sure because he didn’t spawn for me.  I killed all but one of the abominations roaming around and I let him go for a bit as I collected more Stratholme Holy Water from the supply crates, as most groups do.  I had been moving through the place fairly quickly too.  Got to that point just outside the Baron’s hold there with a couple short minutes to spare on the 45 minute timer.  There was no way I was gonna be able to kill the dozen big brutes, the waves of skeletons and Ramstien in those 2 minutes though.  Still I had made good time.  Nothing that would cause the last abomination to abruptly vanish and the whole courtyard full of them respawn.
