Gonna get a second opinion in January with another shoulder doctor. The one I have been going to, well hasnt really made me feel good. I try to explain what I do, and he doesnt listen. Plus he was the one, that when he mentioned surgery if I needed it, was the one who said, it all depends on if you ...

Syrfinn

Yeah going thru my own right shoulder issues, have for 3 years now, but at Blackstone, got a partial tear in the front muscle, and well didnt stop fighting till after pennsic. Basically been on the shelf since Pennsic to let things heal. But to be honest, the tear was the easy part, and feels pretty...

Syrfinn

Finish up my late 12th, Early 13th cent kit.

Learn to fight again with a bad shoulder. Its not gonna get any better than what it is now. So basically need to relearn how to throw some shots differently, to avoid the pain I have when I throw them my old way.

Syrfinn

Just answered ya, and put sold pending payment on this, once I get payment from ya, will put sold on it.

Thanks

Syrfinn

Brand new 14g stainless bascinet from Shamrock Armory. We designed it off my old Bedford Bascinet. Never been used. I use 1" open cell padding for my padding, and it fits nice for my head which is 23.5" Also with this, is a Knutt welded stainless short aventail, also never been used, that ...

Shoulder is the shoulder, other than surgery, its pretty much where its gonna be. And even then, its has arthritis, bursitis and an impingement. But the bone spurs are probably cause some of that issue. The tear in the shoulder seems to be healed up nicely. Just dropping this down to sell, so its $3...

Syrfinn

Have lowered price to $350 here, and relisted on Ebay with $400 buy out there.

Syrfinn

Syrfinn

Yeah, this is a 14g version of the one you had bought from me, so its lighter, but still built solid.

Its going to be a nice helm for whoever gets it.

Syrfinn

The lowest I will go on this is $450 by the way. I have it up on ebay also.

In case if someone was interested but liked going thru ebay due to protection and such. Also I only like to deal with Paypal, helps protect myself and the buyer.

Syrfinn

Hi folks, just got these and well going to sell them. Right now in a transition and just gonna step away for a few and reevaluate somethings. So gonna just use my old stuff, when I decide to play, and when I decide on if I am back or not, will decide what I will get. So have a brand new 14g stainles...

Syrfinn

Like Vitus said. Lots of slow work. I blew my shoulder out in April, then before it properly healed, fought with it at pennsic and hurt it again. While giving my right shoulder plenty of time to heal, I am doing slow work with my left, just in case the right doesnt heal up right. I have way to many ...

Syrfinn

Yep, was going to third on Jackie. Once I get my aventail on, will put up pics of the new bascinet he did for me.

Syrfinn

Thanks for putting up the Finals vids, Amos.

Afshin looked good, real good. His Grace is just a patient mf'er.

Had just a few flash backs while watching that fight, and remembering trying to get get his Grace to blink.

Looking forward to seeing vids from the rest of Crown also.

Syrfinn

Sweet, thanks Lucas, looking forward to seeing what you got. I'm sure one of the Bedford folks got the finals, if no one else did on vid.

Looking forward to hearing folks account of the tourney

Syrfinn

Hopefully someone got some good video. Good to see Afshin make it to the finals, well done.

Syrfinn

13th Warrior is the perfect SCA movie.

Syrfinn

I was thrown into armor first day, and if they would of had me just sit back and watch, I doubt I would of been back. But here is the difference. Yes, Kane and Lupus put me in armor, and showed me how to throw 3 basic shots, the flat snap, the offside and the leg snap. Plus showed me the basics of d...

Syrfinn

For the longest time I had hockey elbows, and took kids shin guards and used those for my forearm protection. The elbows were old and moved, so what I did, was slid the shinguards over the bottom of the elbows. This basically stopped them from sliding around. When I went to my early period I got a s...

Syrfinn

Lol, I love reading this stuff, and makes me miss ya all.

Syrfinn

My first kit, back in 89, which I think i wore like twice before I went back out to sea, and then came back and went straight to Lupus's and we made me a new kit. But my first, unfort, no pics, was carpet body armor, and aluminum legs and knees that Kane and I bent to a squarish shape on the wooden ...

Syrfinn

Yep, like a few have said, there are a bunch of us out here that feel the same way. For me, I love the fighting, I have no problem admitting I am a stick jock. If it wasnt for the fighting, I would be doing something else, and come out to pennsic to see old friends and hang out. Here is how my SCA l...

Syrfinn

Your not doing it wrong, if your having fun. Like Maeryk said, who you hang out with, can change things a lot. I went from being in Atlantia, and going to a lot of events, and doing a lot of camping or crashing at folks house, to were basically here in AEthelmearc, I pretty much daytrip everything, ...

Syrfinn

Yeah, I have been talking about this stuff here in AEthelmearc, since I moved here 14 years ago. I actually taught classes at University and Colleges (SCA) on how to make your sports gear look period. Specially since probably the only thing I wore at the time, that wasnt sports gear or plastic, was ...

Syrfinn

Have you tried paying Scoops, with trident Double Layers? it seems to work in the commercial, and well a trident is a type of sea thingy to go with the sea horsey.

Syrfinn

agreed

Syrfinn

Thanks Daithi for posting that, is good to see were folks fell.

Syrfinn

Yeah, I keep sending folks Jackies way also, when they asked about my old roman helm. Now I will be able to send folks Jackies way, when they see me in the new bascinet. :p

Syrfinn

Awesome news Torvaldr

Syrfinn

Very cool, have always liked when their Highnesses have been on the thrones. They have always done excellent jobs. I think this might be their first Pennsic reign if I am thinking right, I think their other two Crowns were Winter reigns. Glad to see Murdoch in the Finals also. Good to see a fresh fa...

Syrfinn

I'm out of the odds business. I usually get 3 of the 4 of the semis right, but I always feel guilty, when I make the pics and give critiques. I now understand why the person who used to do Dark Apprentice, does it as Dark Apprentice and not his normal id. Lets them be totally honest, without worryin...

Syrfinn

Really nice, Jackie.

Syrfinn

Didnt even think of that, Olafr, your right. I cant remember the last time we had a full 32 person list. Granted thats if everyone shows up, and I know of at least one person who cant already. But still, thats a nice size list for us.

Syrfinn

Nice, might need to try out a set of the spring stainless once I can fight again.

Syrfinn

I love this tourney format. For one, it gives everyone plenty of fighting, even the guys who really dont have a shot. Just the learning they can get out of this, knowing they are going to have at least 13 fights if everyone shows, against some heavy freaking sticks. Granted, we didnt have 4 buckets,...
