Well, I won't be there at all on the 13th/14th, since that's DoK.

So how many do we have for Saturday the 6th? James, you coming? Nathan?

Up in the air at this point. I was supposed to get my truck back yesterday, but it had a hidden surprise that needed parts, so I won't have it until tomorrow. I still need to pick up a cap for it (which they only have in Westminster, MD), amongst other errands, and haven't even started on DoK kit tasks yet, and still have a few boxes in the mail - it's a "possibly", but I'd probably leave before closing to beat traffic and get home with time to do some more work.

I'm a certain (barring catastrophes) for Sun of closing weekend though

I do recall that, Sir Edward...hey, if I'm solo that weekend, so be it.  At least there will be one Knight of the Order of the Marshal on the premises.  That way their day isn't a total bust.  :)

By the by, are there any pics from Stormdelver's knighting?  I've seen just the one, but remember posing for a few.

Nice!  Seeing the pics allows me to see what's showing, what's not, and what hangs badly on me.  My coif needs some work, but by and large, it doesn't look as bad as it has in the past - cut down on the bingo wings sorta.  ;)

Let me know how it works out.

Sir Wolf and I were talking about doing lighter garb rather than armor tomorrow. I think that's particularly a good idea now that there's some rain in the forecast. I may do my woodsman thing.

No worries Sir Brian. I can loan her my warhammer "Head Splitter" for your security concerns.  ;D That will keep the members in line. :)

Sigh. I'm going to have to skip tomorrow. I still have a bit of staining left to do, and need to finish the slat bed or make a quick second rope bed. Short story long....

I didn't get my truck back until Thurs instead of Tues due to waiting on parts (clean bill of health, fresh oil & fluids), I lost the bobbin holder for my sewing machine and went to Walmart & JoAnn's with no luck (JoAnn's said order online or they can get it, but they're just ordering online...) and still need to sew the "mattresses" and the table runners too. Haven't even started on armor stuff, still waiting on a haubergeon I just ordered a couple days ago, I received my medieval padlocks that I need to install the hardware on the chests for (and paint black, freakin' HD chrome!). Still waiting on some soft kit stuff that's in the mail. Waiting on finials and some other tent stuff from Medieval Fantasies that I ordered earlier this week (that will need painting). Need to work up a rig to hang the gonfalon from, and possibly a banner too. Oh, and tent flooring, which I'm not even sure I'll be able to get to since that means getting the tent up again... and last but rather importantly, I need to find a cap for my truck. Of 4 leads on Craigslist, none fit, not even from another dodge a few years newer. The caps place in Purcellville doesn't have one, but one in Westminster MD does ... which I need to call and check measurements for, since it's for a newer dodge too. Purcellville could order me one, but at $1,299 I'll build one out of 2x3s and plywood........

Slightly stressing. :D

Breathe, breathe, it'll be OK. :)

Man, you're pulling out all the stops. My encampment really has nothing to show off, furniture wise. I'll have chairs and a weapon rack (maybe I can get the second one standing in time).

I think pooling our resources is a good plan.

Wax on, wax off .... Breathe in, breathe out. Always remember to breathe. Very important.  ;D Also, campaigning not camping. Keep it simple.
