Home is behind, the world ahead, |
You sir, are a poet. :-)
Have a safe journey to the mountains near the south desert.
I liked that one in this month's Primitive Archer, the long flatbow with reflex and a little recurve. It is kind of inspiring, I'd like to try something like that, next one out, I think. Not sure if I'd use the heatgun or some other method, like steam. I do own a heatgun, forget at the moment why I bought it. Paint stripping most likely. You can set stuff on fire with it, however.
Good evening, everyone.
Evening Ramius, thank you for your kind words. Glad you got a better room, one with an ashtray.
Evening Sam - The High Performance Selfbow? Marc is a fine bowyer and a true craftsman; his bows are highly sought after. He'll be at MoJAM this year, driving down from Canada. He lives near Thunder Bay I believe. He is also a regular poster on Tradgang.
And Good Night to All.
Hi there, Suz. Nice pic at the site, also. :)
Being a Sindarin Elf (of some antiquity, true), I can more or less reliably report that lembas were crunchy, not crumbly, had a taste that was almost sweet and almost dry but neither.
They are mostly on offer at Tulkas' Cookie Monster Shoppe in his treehouse.
Cheers!
Hey howdy there... almost missed your post. When are you checking out tomorrow?
Sam... did you see that story yesterday/this morning about the two-master that ran aground in California? Apparently was one of those semester-at-sea sort of boats. About a 90-footer, and pretty. Rescued everybody, but they were still trying to get it free of the beach when I left for the office.
I couldn't tell for sure, but it was maybe a barkentine sort of rig. Square sails on the foremast, but a gaff rig aft with a square tops'l. IIRC that's a barkentine, but I could be wrong about that.
It was sure a pretty thing, and it was heartbreaking to see it smacking on the rocks. I have no idea if they got it free again or not.
Mine is yew. I am glad to join your company.
You know, I actually acted out this character for about five years in an online community. There were many skirmishes with the yrch of Angband, in Dimbar, in Nan Dungortheb, along Sirion and even up in Rivil's Well (where I met Draugluin and almost my death). One day perhaps there might be more adventures.
Cheers. :)
Our flight is around 2:45.
Thank you ;~D
What airline?
America West.
No cheat mode? Where's the fun in that?
Hah, got my enemies to beg for mercy. And I got railroads so my troop movements will be much smoother. It's almost time for World War 1, I think.
Ah, to LV... that makes sense. I like them.
Are you parking at the airport?
No - we're taking the beach house first and taking the shuttle.
The shuttle from here was a LOT more $$$
I gotta hit the couch.... I'm beat.
Good night everyone!
