How not to make perfect fitting torso armor as described by the Bad Baron: Take one oil drum, cut arm holes and run out into a Penssic field battle unarmed but a sign proclaiming the superiority of r fencing, returned with form fitting torso armor, all that's left is to cut seams along the sides and a quick trip to the hospital. Eric has headed home for his vacation a little over a week ago, the place has be come a bit more sedate.

The vacation papers are here so hare I will be. Now what shell I do? Do I want to help out in the kitchen or do I want to be out fighting. The plan is that I provide snack food for the household and friends at hare. It be fun to go a bit nuts and and have a platter of food every hour and have each platter be a bit grander then the last. If I time it right the possibility is to get fighting and cooking in.

I took Strappy along when I went to look at the carpets. The problem is now that the merchants are bringing in the finest silk carpets from Iran. I started to take pictures so he started pulling them all out to show. Thoe the merchant was a little confused why the little hare with me kept asking questions like “how fast does it go?”, “Does it have it's FAA papers?”, “How many women can ride on it at a time?”




Its been confirmed I will be in England for 5 days on my way back... Ya I got a good list of places I want to see … Kes is sending my games … THANK YOU … hopefully this will keep the Catan junkies happy while I'm gone ... Oh and on the new memberships. A old high school friend is here and between Eric and myself he is all gun ho to join the SCA when he gets home... There is also a young guy here that blacksmiths on the side. He lives just out side Perth when not here and has a charcoal forge back home made from a up turned truck drum break. There is a third who plays casually in rising water who looks to be interesting to get back into it.

I am sooo counting the days till I leave. My only grief is that the balloon project mentioned in past posts needs to be done before I go.
