Can someone repost the pictures, so I don't end up touching Facebook?

Aaron

Heh.

Keep up the taunting...hang on, are you French and have a Grail?

-Aaron

Aaron

Totally cool!

Aaron

I am picking up the entire kit. This is perfect!

Aaron

If the entire kit is $175, I will bid for the entire kit.

Aaron

It would be nice if the photos and videos were uploaded somewhere other than Facebook. I assume they look nice.

BotN training in Philidelphia was a lot of fun, but next time I'm dragging my son or daughter along to take photos, etc... Or just do photography myself.

Beautiful!

Hi,

I thought this was amusing.

Yes, sword-fighting cell phones from Microsoft.

Aaron

OK, this is amazing. Sadly I don't have the room or time or skill to armour. That there isn't somebody firing up the rocketcar up to get this stuff is shocking.

-Aaron

Aaron

Thanks!

Could you PM me your phone number and/or e-mail? I would like to look at buying semi-fluted full legs in spring-stainless from you. BTW, you were HIGHLY talked about at the Eastern Practice for BotN. Your reputation is stellar.

With thanks,

-Aaron

Aaron

So far I've looked in Colorado, New Mexico, Virginia and Maryland and have had no luck.

Maybe that might change soon.

Very true! I learned what I need to work on, etc... And the troops are impressive!

Aaron

Thanks! It was a good time, and I plan on returning better prepared than I was on Saturday. One odd thing is that I only have bruises on my left side. One on the base of my thumb (holding the pollaxe too hard) One on my elbow (bad fit for the arm harness) Several on my bicepts (strap burn) Several o...

I looked around and could not buy a US Army chinstrap. Really. Couldn't find it at Ft. Meade, or Kirtland AFB or Quantico.

Aaron

Hi, It was good overall. I learned a lot. My injuries are mostly self-inflicted and recoverable. I learned I can bounce off of AstroTurf ten or twenty times with minimal concerns due to my armour. My armour must be upgraded and fit better, but it does protect me well. There is a nasty strap burn on ...

Aaron

And thank you for helping me avoid getting trapped in my helm again. Trapped in my helm isn't fun (even if it's safe, sort of).

Aaron

You and your family are a lot of fun, and I enjoyed the visit. If I get back out that way again, I will enjoy a second visit. Thank you for allowing me to engage in my joy of gardening. If the kids water the garlic lightly every evening, you will have some nice homegrown garlic next spring, or garli...

Aaron

Hi, I'm looking for pictures of perf-plates in helmets. My wife and eldest daughter both fence, and I'd like to join them in the backyard for fencing. Maureen has a fencing helmet and I'm green with envy. And I know the beautiful chapel-de-fer I have for my "flight" kit would make for a great dual-u...

Aaron

Hi, Thankfully, my chin-strap busted last night. It was a good thing because I was effectively trapped in my helmet. It was a bad thing because my fighting stopped for the evening. It was a good thing because I enjoyed the cool evening air that only the desert can provide once I'd gotten the helmet ...

Aaron

That was a lot of fun! Yep, my chin strap busted, but it was for the best IMO. I strapped the helm wrong, and while the helm is very safe strapped that way, I can't easily get out of my helm. :( I'll be buying a DoD chinstrap today and asking Brennainn to strap the helm for a small fee. Helm chin st...

Aaron

Thanks!

Aaron

Whoops.

Forgot to add that I've got all my armour but lack any weapons. Can I borrow a weapon or two, please?

Aaron

Yay!

BTW, TSA was very amused by my chapel-de-fer with mail drape. It's obvious they looked at it, and the gauntlets and gorget. It was a source of amusement with me to see the helm shifted from the bottom of the bag to the top.

See you soon!

-Aaron

Aaron

Got to Albuquerque and I've settled in. I've PMed my POC info to those who posted that they will be at practice this week. If you'd like to meet up earlier than Wednesday as well, I bet I can make that happen.

With thanks,

-Aaron

Aaron

Cool!

Aaron

Aaron we would love to have you join us on Wednesday September 19th at Johnson Field. Fighter practice is typically running by 7pm. http://hsc.unm.edu/about/map/displayapoint.cfm?PID=34&GID=27 Hopefully this map helps. Li Guang Ming Wow, that is easy for directions. Basically, get on to Central goi...

Aaron

Hi,

It's still "game on" for Albuquerque, and I've packed up my "flight suit" and found that it weighs a tad more than I thought. But I'll be there, with armour!

Time to PM everybody my phone number, etc...

See you on Wednesday!

Thanks!

Now...I can't afford a horse, horses don't pack up and move well, we can't quarter a horse in our little tiny postage stamp yard, and horses do NOT like me...but HUZZAHHHH FOR JOUSTING IN THE SCA!!!

Aaron

Hi,

William Thomas has picked up the dayshade from my wife and I, and Maureen and I got a nice tour of some of the really beautiful parts of western Virginia, West Virginia and western Maryland.

With respect,

-Aaron

Aaron

The pile of SCA weapons were delivered and Maureen and I got to see a very beautiful (not kidding) suburb of Baltimore. It was a nice trip and visiting Frontinus and his Dragonire cohort was very fun.

With respect,

-Aaron

Aaron

And I must say those full greaves are beautiful! Good work!

Aaron

Totally cool story, and YES I do not want vices on my calves, and my calves are huge already. The casts I sent might work, maybe. If he says otherwise, I'll set up a different system as per the advice here.

Thanks!

My wife laughed when I read the story to her.
