I went to our sca armoured combat practice last Wednesday. I have decided, as my free time has undergone some revisions lately, that I want to dedicate some effort to doing armoured combat again. I tried to get into it once before, but found I couldn’t find the free time with other priorities ranking higher.
I […]
How do 6 cans of tuna shrink wrapped into one unit, that I just bought recently….go missing?
Bah.
I am packing up to go to just outside Kitchener this weekend. The is..I think, my first multi-day sca event where I am not camping. There are bunks on site (a boy scout camp I think), mattress…indoors, I assume […]
