Eric,

Havent gotten any emails from you, its possible my account is still filtering out Aol stuff..

Did you get the money order I mailed? Just go ahead and respond here... I check this board almost as much as I check my email.

Thanks,
Cedric

Cedric

Cedric

I actually have considered something like that.. Once I get my mail shirt the next biggest glaring problem with my armor is of course my footwear. As I have said before though, I dont like swollen ankles (I work on my feet.. heh). I would like to get something more appropriate and have looked at boh...

Cedric

I have to disagree with you. Combat boots do provide ankle support, despite what you may think. Maybe not as much as good hiking boots, but definitely more then tennis shoes (I have never worn turnshoes so cant speak to that). I have the weakest ankles on the planet.. I have turned my ankle walking ...

Cedric

Who said anything about combat boots?

Cedric

My old shire had a Scottish Ninja, does that count?

Cedric

What are you gonna do with it?

Cedric

Sorry, HF is a daily concern for me, and chemical safety has been pounded into my head for the last 8+ years... Didnt mean to get all serious on ya there

Cedric

I would find another way. I get paid fairly well to deal with that stuff, otherwise I wouldnt come within a mile of it. Even if I DID feel confident with it to want to play around with in my garage I would never consider suggesting someone else do it. Hydroflouric Acid is not something anyone should...

Cedric

Yeah.. exactly. I should know, I've hand poured 49% stuff for years, and I had a manager who was missing two fingers from picking up a contaminated rag that someone put in the wrong trash can.

Definitely not something to play around with.

Cedric

Yup.. my bad. Had my email set to filter out anything from aol.com.

Too many of your fellow users like sending me spam.. its off now so shouldnt be a problem.

The money order will go out in the mail today, thanks again.

Cedric

Hmm.. I never got it. Its possible my mail filters ate it (has happened before).

The money order will go out in the mail tomorrow, thanks.

Cedric

Estrella is a fun event.. not quite as laid back as Gulf War, but definitely worth the drive.

Cedric

Bump. Still need mailing address.

Cedric

I purchased the articulated elbows.

Please check your email and get back to me, I need your mailing address to send you payment.

Thank you.

So there! (I will be at Estrella if anybody wants to get vengeance lol)

"A sword without a thrusting tip??? Theres just no point!"

Cedric

I just wish we could get rid of the annoying SCA habit of putting duct tape on helmets to show what side you are on or whether you have been inspected or not.

Cedric

Lanyards.

Cedric

Grinding on a sword blank with a 7" disc grinder... released the On switch and bent down to look at my work. When I did that, I rested the (still spinning) grinder against the side of my knee. Luckily the damage was mainly cosmetic, could have been much worse.

Cedric

Sent ya an email about those arms..

Cedric

I have absolutely no idea.

People are wierd critters, I generally try to avoid them.

Cedric

It was a chainmail jockstrap.

Cedric

Sorry, I know I should have included a warning, but I was scarred by it and figured I could at least share the pain.

And for the record, I found it by doing a ebay search for "chainmail". Definitely was NOT looking for that!

Yeah, what he said...

Cedric

Speaking in my professional capacity as a Ladder Safety Instructor, I must say: Get a new ladder. Seriously. There is no way in hell that you should EVER trust anyones life and safety to save a little money by attempting to fix a damaged ladder. Ladders are no where near as expensive as the medical ...

Cedric

Noob, seriously, do you fight?

Having watched that video at least 20+ times I have never seen anything remotely illegal in Duke Logan's actions.

Sure, he was obviously upset, he maybe didnt handle the situation in the best manner.. but he did nothing wrong as far as I could tell.

Cedric

Ya, I love that... my helmet/gorget combo is good enough for Estrella, Gulf Wars, An Tir Crown, An Tir/West War, etc... But god help me if I try to enter a local demo/tourney ("well, milord, if you tilted your head alll the way back and a thrust were to come straight up your chest it could possibly ...
