Having recently completed a move that has been three years in the process, I now have all my stuff finally together in one place for the first time in a long time. As I am getting things organized I have found several things that I just now longer have a need for or otherwise justneed to part with it. I am beginning with a few things that I am going to list on the Armor Archive and go from there.To Do List – GW
I have this thing about lists, it gets me organized and a bit focused about accomplishing things on them in general. I have not had one concerning this kind of stuff and it shows. So, I decided to put one together. There are three major points looking forward that have things I need to get done during and/or for. So I am trying to break it down that way and I plan to come back and do check marks or color coding or something when I get things done and make some additional notes of it. May even do a few blogs of somethings with photos as progress occurs. Do keep in mind it is my list, for my feeble mind so some of these are like well duh – go do it and it would be done, but sometimes I just got to do things my way. Anyway, this is the current list I am working from for Gulf Wars – though I will likely increase it as it time goes along for the next few weeks and I think of other things.
I arrived at Pennsic on Friday night at around 10:30 or 11:00. Quickly, I got my stuff out of the car, a got a general lay of the land, and ended up asleep before to much longer. Saturday I spent the day getting a lay of the land and at least trying to figure out where things where in general. There was so much to take in after I got home I am still not sure I caught it all. However, on Sunday evening I was treated to a great spectacle – The Battle of the Thirty.
Show on Spike that a friend was telling me about, the episode explained I thought was kind of bad from the get go. Basic premise, pick two famous warrior classes from history, gather information on weapons, armor, etc, and then run a computer model simulation to see who would have won in a contest of arms. I had my doubts when I heard about the show and now that I am finally watching an episode I am in even more doubt about the true measure of any outcome. The current episode I am watching is pitting the William Wallace era Scottish warrior against the Shaka Zulu warrior, and more specifically those two leaders pitted against one another.
It occurs to me that today I am engaged in what is probably one of the most expensive hobbies a person can have. I realize this after fighting on the ground Saturday and thinking about how many cool bits or updates to armour I have that I would like to make part of one of my two kits (like the used Salet Helm, a mere $300) but especially when I think of today and know that I have both the vet and the farrier coming out to deal with Angel and Jack this afternoon.
