New Year

Well since it is a new year thought I would make a new post to get things started and hopefully 2009 will be a less brutal year then 2008 was.

Fought for the 1st time Tuesday in years, learned a whole lot about my gear, manly what I need to fix and/or change as about 30-40% of my fight is with my gear and not my oponet. Had a good time, sore, but feeling good and working on getting back into shape, losing weight and strengthening my shoulder.

Almost got my legs done, need to strap them after I fix my left leg which I have assemble backwards (as a right leg) 3 times now, gggrrrrrrrrrr. Once I get them done and suspended I am going to move on to my frontal greaves and then I will start my breastplate. Plan on using Talbot's back and front with faulds globose breastplate pattern.

Erebus is going well and growing like a weed, still working on training with him and we have started taking him on walks to get him socialised and work on leash training (ie. walk at your side and no pulling). I am really starting to hate my job at Walgreen's, last asshattery is they blocked out the time for our Germany trip after Mary gets done with her 30 day rotation so not sure I will be able to go. Have a few options and going to wait 'till we get our new store manager to see what I can do. I found an old SCA picture from June of 1998 (within the 1st year or so of my SCA life) the gear and armour are horrible, but at least everyones gear sucked, so I don't feel too bad.
