I haven't had the mental cycles to post much lately, except for my rant against UPS, so here's a bit of what's been going on with me lately...

Work is continuing on the paper for Kalamazoo. I have been gathering the illustrations and creating the PowerPoint presentation. It certainly is mentally draining. It is also somewhat frustrating. I have been working on this afterhours at work because I have an up to date version of the program on my machine, Jdulac does not and will need to upgrade before I can show off all my work.

I worked Saturday which means a one-day weekend but also additional comp time.

On Sunday I journeyed to southern NH for a combat archery practice. It was great fun! We did a bunch of target shooting in armor (very good practice on a lot of levels) and then some 4 on 4 skirmishes with a sword and shield man on each team. It certainly pointed up to me that I need to finish working on my new armor. There is a combined CA/heavy practice in NH this Sunday that I hopefully will be able to get up to as well and another regional CA practice on May 20.

Great, it sounds like a plan! I talked with Karl M. who wears armor made of the larger plates and he says they do sometimes break but not too much and that its easy to just unstring them and work in a new one. I've made mine with side openings but you could do a front opening if you wanted to.
