So I haven’t really written much about Pennsic war! For the last few years I have been going to Pennsic war. The best way to describe Pennsic is to say it’s hard to really describe Pennsic War to anyone who hasn't seen it. To begin with, it's an annual, two week long medieval reenactment festival attended by over 10,000 people. It's participatory, so almost all attendees dress in medieval clothing and camp at the event. There are armored battles, classes on a variety of topics, an extensive shopping area and huge nightly parties. Plus, you will meet a wider variety of people than you might ever expect at a historical reenactment event.

   I started out about 15 years ago  but I never went to the event to stay at the event I went because a few people I know wanted something special built to either camp in or use at war ie kitchens and shower houses. About  5 years ago I sent my then fiancé to war ( she was a person into it also ) but I restricted myself for I don’t really know for what reason

One day I was asked by her to come back to war with her, so I did and fount there were things I liked . It was very interesting to me I am not the kind of guy who goes out and wants to party the whole time im there ( although the parties are great) I find much more interest in building stuff  like cool tents or special structures. I also find allot of interesting stuff in the classes that are held every day during the event mostly I like the blacksmithing ones and the crafts skills (leather metals, tent making) currently I have built a lot of stuff for my camp and a whole list of things for other peoples camps here are a few of them on my photo bucket page http://s211.photobucket.com/albums/bb147/gravguy/sca%20stuff/

 

The first largest item is the vardo itself  

Im just going to leave it at that so you can get an idea then I will post more later when I have more time

 

 

 

Something I have been thinking about lately,  am I ever going to streetluges  ever again just a thought it’s a good starter for next time when I have a writers block

  So this month has been real crazy, going from highs and lows. On the 23^rd of June my mother passed away. It had been a long road for her she had A.L.S.  a disease that can be pretty tough  it has no cure and affects the nervous system. ALS attracts the nerves one at a time and travels not necessarily in patters but in most cases in the extremity’s first. in most cases ALS patients from diagnosis live from 3 to 5 years . In my mothers case it started in her right arm and hand and went up her arm. In her it transitioned to her right leg after taking the use of both arms. In less then 4 months she lost use of both legs. A few months later it got into more an more of her speech and her breathing. This is where the disease really got bad. When she could no longer eat the doctors suggested to get a tube in for feeding before it was too late and they could not because of complications. When she went in for the procedure she was still able to communicate but after she came out of the hospital she was lethargic and non communicative.  After the hospital stay it was a short matter of just a few weeks till we were on watch at all times. The bad part of the disease is that you know they are in there but are trapped. They can’t communicate they can’t move. in my mothers case we were told early on that she would probably dye from suffocation. I was not at her side as she died but just before I left her side I knew that it was coming. My father didn’t want me there so he sent me away and I went to work. Before I actually arrived at work my phone had rung 5 times. So I got to my shop and returned the call. I immediately returned to the house and  helped the nurses deal with her  and made my dad sit and relax.

        As the family came together I found myself kind of standing out of the loop. I don’t want to make this about me. But I wanted people who know me to understand where im at right now. I found that I was not and am not able to express any emotion about my mom but watching my sisters cry a river and my father in his depression (understandable but not letting me help)  so im kind of there but outside looking in. now I am the type to turn to the person  im in a relationship with to look for a friend to talk to, or to friends  to sit around and just let them understand what’s going on with me. Well this time I was not around anyone and I kind of realized that I don’t deal well with not having someone around. Now I always believed in strong friendships, and im currently in a long distance relationship (when she reads this OH BOY) now I really have had no one to just talk too. The relationship with her is strong but being so far away it doesn’t allow for real communication when we are together  I don’t want to bring any bad into our conversations. I really enjoy the time I spend with her. But im so afraid of messing up what we have by brining up bad stuff. The weekend after my mothers funeral was the 4^th of July  now we had planned a nice weekend and we did all most of the things we planned but the whole time I avoided bringing this subject into our conversations now it was not that I was thinking don’t say this or that for some reason I just didn’t . I really needed the time away sitting with her watching fireworks.  It does bother me that none of my other friends called or said anything hell not even a card. But ive started to realize my friendships aren’t as strong as I thought. That or my friends are just feeling that they cant deal with me during this time.

         Something I have realized during this is how I really am in the middle of a major point in my life. Call it a stall in life or a real mid life crisis (early I guess) but someone I know described it that way and I denied it till I thought about it. Mostly I denied it because I don’t really see myself as an adult. Somehow I missed the classes that were given to the rest of society. You know the one that says go to college buy car meet a girl /boy (girl boy girl-girl boy- boy) have kids buy a house. Yeah somehow I screwed that all up so much that I have no idea where or what to do now. I thought -hey I have this cool thing I have freedom I have a cool artist life. I could be HAPPY well I am starting to wonder if it’s what I thought it is. Somehow I was just typing that last line and looked back and read it ( deleted it = re wrote it ) but I looked at the words “im happy” and thought well yeah overall I am  I wonder how I could do better but I really am

 

Ok I could write for a long time on this but I think im going to stop  ( don’t want to waste it all in one time)

 a few years ago  i would have said something different than now but now i will have to say  im going to war www.pennsicwar.org/penn38/

for myself the future. im a diabetic and the advances in medical tech have gone very far in the last few years. my hope would be that there would be a cure.  and have my teenage years to be good ones not  ones where i was sick all the time

i barely ever use my cell phone i dont like them i guess that makes me old. everyone has them or wants them  and the cost is cheaper in most cases then the land line. i also like to have it so i can use it as backup for when the cable modem goes out ( pretty often sadly)

So I haven’t written in a while   I screwed up my internet so its been dialup for a while
I decided I would use word to write in this time and paste it over when I get online again

 This one hit me after having a bad spell in my relationship with my father 

“Happy families are all alike, every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”

                                                                                                                   Tolstoy

       I wonder what drives people sometimes. My father really wants to be a nice guy and I know there’s something that pushes him away from that.  Yesterday I had a bad experience with my pump and my sugars were through the roof so I was feeling real bad. Now normally I work very late and there are several reasons for that on is I don’t want to be in the way of my father. Just my presence bothers him.   I spend allot of time at work even if I get nothing done.  Yesterday in his life my mother was put on hospice care and I know that that upset him greatly knowing he was not capable of doing everything she needed. So his frustration was very visible.  The next thing that happened with him is my sister and he had a big argument. So no mater what I would say I was there so he would transfer that onto me.  Well when I got up today my sugars were down but now im fighting the after high problems (what I call the bounce) my sugar upon waking up was very low and I went find food to bring it up after using the bathroom .when he found I needed food he said hey Ive already made batter for pancakes would you like some so I replied I have to check my sugars again before I know how many but yeah thanks. Well the next question he had was would I like bacon or sausage with it. Well I repeated the comment that I had just made that I would have to check my sugar before I could say how much I could eat but I would have pancakes.

    Well I went down to my living area in the basement knowing after I would eat I would go straight to work I got fully dressed.  Coming back up I had checked and I was 54 which doesn’t allow clear headed thinking. I come back up and find he has now poured out the batter. So I ask him what’s up he starts in that I didn’t give him an answer so he threw it out.  Well then he screams how he has already had a fight with my sister, and he was not going to listen to me. Well I was pretty low so I knew I wouldn’t be safe to drive to work. Well that’s when I said  dad really what’s really going on . and then he’s screaming and yelling  so I block his way out of the room till he talks to me    that’s when it all goes to hell I am trying to stop him and actually I was trying to make him give me a  hug. Well I should have known better I was too close t him and  he  went for a knife drawer and pulled a knife on me.  As he whips it out he catches my shirt. He quickly puts it away when he realizes I am not stepping away even though he has a knife I stepped up to him. Well that’s when he says what he’s been thinking probably for a long time holding it in till he can hold it no more. He says “when your mother dies I am kicking you out of here within 30 days after her death” so there it is the gorilla in the room waiting for the right moment to come. So that’s my first of my day.

  Now yesterday I had made a decision t sever the connection with a neighboring shop that has been doing my body work for me. Well his work has not been the best and his attitude has become very abrasive. I had previously given him a job  that I needed done but I was not in a rush  and It was a job that if it was not perfect I could deal with. I gave him a $100 dollar deposit. Figured I would d wait well yesterday he was complaining about money so I said to him when I see some work I will give you more money on that job. Well that’s when he says well im not going to do any work on it till you pay me that’s how it works. Well that would be correct if he had started of done any to the car he as of that time had not touched it AT ALL. That’s what I really needed to hear  I then decided I would  remove the vehicle from his outdoor storage  and put it back in mine. Till I can find a shop that can do the work reliably.. This morning I told him I was removing the vehicle and I would be finding another way to get the car completed. At that time he starts screaming. Now I knew I had lost the deposit I knew there was no way I was getting it back. So he steps into me. If you don’t know what that is its where someone makes moves like they are going to fight you raising a fist and flexing there muscles. Well that’s something ive never known how to step away from. As soon as someone makes a move like that I put my hands behind me and step up to them. First off it disarms the short arm punch is very weak, and the person is never expecting it. I always do this and I let them have their chance, they have that ONE.  I know if a fight is going to happen I don’t want to have a police officer ask who through the first punch. My words are “well he did”

     So now you know my Monday and Tuesday.

depends on the kid , but no  i dont think so  i think drivers training is not very  efficient  most of them teach but they don't teach some very important skills. i know very few people who merge properly and collision avoidance ,  well i don't thinks so!  my father put me behind the wheel of a racecar long before i got my drivers permit    i see all the time where learning apexing and target fixation have saved my life

 The line from the notebook today is "remember everyone stops at 5 " "go for 6 "  now this isn't one that  someone else  quoted this is one of mine right out of my own  lips    first ill say what it means and then  ill say what it means to me well turns out no matter how big you are or how many quarts of blood you carry around  everyone has passed out if you loose about  5 quarts of blood well  i have to say   i always   thought it is go that extra little bit  when  you go to that edge in every thing you do . now for a while in my life i seem  to have forgoten  that  i somehow . now   i have to tell you in my "extreme life " i have pushed it  pretty close to that at times, and im glad i have  i f you read back in my posts even my recovery  from going to the outside of the envelope i still  go that level past and sometimes the wrong way. well its short today since i pushed it too far today and its 230  and now i must go home and sleep  so i can push it a little farther

yes a few years ago i had a bank account that had an error and i went looking into the bank records. and they faound there were 2 of me but with different middle initials. and when the twin towers on 9 11 my name was shockingly put in the news as a person who parished there had my name

 i was going to write about another quote from my notebooks but today i was driving to work and i had an epiphany. i looked back into my back seat of  my van and i looked at all the toys i carry  around. it made me wonder  how many people i know  have "toys" now ladies ( and some men) im not refering to TOYS like adult toys. im talking about  frisbies  and skateboards and kites. well i do  and thinking about it i have allot of them. looking at these i started to think. how many people i know have a few toys in their back seat or trunk. no i have to put an adnendem  to this. IF YOU HAVE KIDS  THESE CANT BE THEIR TOYS if they are yours they must be yours! you cant go around stealing your kids toys  while they arent there  thats cheating. ok hers a small list of toys i keep in my back seat 

1 a skate board -with skate tool and in a carry bag ( moer to come )
2 frisbies  small selection  aerobie12 -aerobie 14 - whamo clasic 210 - ( not including the ones i keep for my son (OZZY)
3 boomarang -  wood  traditonal style
4 set of walkie talkies yes its still fun to play soldier
5 paintball gun - out of balls and charge right now
6 kites  1 set of 4 stack  -a quick carry kite in bag(parafoil) a large delta 5 foot span- 2 eddie bow ( for loaners incase my friend forgot thiers)
  all the string and tools to launch all of them plus 3 or  4 more i cant remember right now 
7 foxtail   yes its annother thing that you throw
8 frisbie golf disks in  golf bag  ( yes i play ) with guides for local courses
9 a blanket and a chair but thats more for resting whn im there
10 an innertube from a truck actually i have 3  and a small compressor to inflate them
11 shoes and shorts yes i know they arent toys but its easier to go playing in the creek  if you have them right there

==not in the car but are sitting ready ==
bikes
streetluge  leathers and safety  stufff flags and before meantiond radios
canoe  with all the guear to go
cooler
sailboat ( small ) will fit in van or on roof
stilts  jumping kind and regular peg stilts
juggleing toys balls clubs and chainsaw

now im 40  years old and i was jsut told i do this stuff becuse its  a mid life crisis!!! well i guess i started my mid life crisis at age 5  because i still ahve some of the stuff i had then. so  let me hear it  what do you keep be honest i think there are a few kids hiding in those boring adult bodies 

 i used to say im never growing up welll i guess ive suceded  YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

ive finished some work ( yeah right )  im going out to play now

i was sitting around in the last few weeks wondering what to write. i was sitting around and i added to one of my little books. what these little books are, used to be i would go around and when i heard something funny i would jokingly say that has to go in my book and i would kind of try and remember it  so i would open the palm of my hand and make an act like i was writing. well it would end uo that i never either remembered what i was trying to remember or i did and it was modified to fit the memory, back to the real notebooks well i started maybe  10 +- little notebooks mostly i carry them to remember littel things i would normaly forget. a big thing i do wiht these books is quotes if i hear one anywhere i write it down  if i say a particularly whitty thing i  write it down. so i was going to go through a few as time goes on also i woudl write what that quote means to me  when i took it in and how it relates today  so here goes the first one randomly selected from my notebooks




now ok i totlay picked the page and book at random but i figure its a good place to start  i randomly picked one of the little note books  by putting them in a bag and pulling one out then used a random nuber generator to pick the page so that its a quote from me is jsut the luck of the draw
ok let me set the stage   i was on a trip about 3 years ago  i took the trip in an rv i own with my then girlfriend ( names removed to protect the inocent/ and guilty )  to canada for a street luge  race   well we pull into town the day of the race  and  cant find the registration area. weve found the hill just not the registraton area  so  we ask directons now this RV is big and were towing a car  so we have no way were going down little streets  so we ask the local mounty  and they are pretty clueless so we get these very confusing directoins in french.( oh yea i dont speak french )  so its decided that we will un hook the car and let it lead the way. ok now im driving the 34 foot long  rv folloing a vw  with my  girlfriend driving the vw ( who  did speak french) so she got the directions  well there we are making our way up this rather twisty road in a bug and an rv  so were on this very windy road  going uphill in  canada well we make this corner and she races up the hill and its a
S T E E P hill . well the rv has a problem there i am in a very large vehicle on one of the steepest hills  i saw the whole trip  well this is whn it happens the engine dies later on i figure out its because the fuel ran to the back of the tank and it basicaly ran out of fuel. well this thing is huge  and wen it happened  i lost the power steering and power brakes  and the hill was very steep . close to  40%  well heres where the  first  quote on the page comes in  " shit shit shit shit shit oh shit shit shit im going to die  shit "  now durring this im trying to think because of all my training racing when you stop thinking you die. so at that moment im lookng and trying to remember my path up that same hill and rmembering that there was a cliff at that last turn  so i do everything to slow it down i push the almost non exsistant brakes and get ready to pull on the non exsistant power steering  and at that moment of clairity i remeber  there was a driveway wth a grass hill . so i pull with all my might and beach this massive rv on that hill  jsut missing the car in the driveway and plowing thrugh the logs the lady had put there to keep people form parking on her grass well it wasnt that easy  on my way i got a prize i found myself taking down a  nice vintage looking light pole  cleaning it off at gournd level  i have had some bad days but that was jsut the start  i climb out and my ex now realized that for one im not behind her and second she can tell that was not the right way  so she shows up and there i stand  next to the rig  standing next to  a nun  turns out this building im next to and the same building that at one point i had thought hey if i run into that i  will slow down   good thing i didnt it turns out that the building was an historic landmark. well after an hour and waitng for one of the officers  who gave my ex the directoins  to show up to explain why the hell she put us there  . well  i dont get a fine  i jsut have to pay for the light  and the mouny s  give us a parking permit to park  on the main boulivard.  so there thats my quote for the day 

so i dont post very often, the major reason for that in my mind is im not a writer  im very creative i jsut suck at writing  i have jsut recently been tapping my creative nature in large amounts  this week i went about to build some of the things i keep meaning to buid and have them jsut up in my head  now these things are not new  ive been building them in my head for   this whole year. for the last couple of years ive been going to on a camping trip of sorts  the trip is with an organization called the sca www.sca.org/ now i dont fit in most places im jsut that weird  but for some reason i enjoy  going to the events  now i have avioded going to events in the local area  but the main reason for that is  my ex is highly involved in the local sca shire. but i think ive found my place amongst the masses of the sca. that place is withthe artisans  there are no real guilds for the things  i like   but over multiple places i  have  found interesting stuff   as i said im currently in a build mode. wait a min  im alwasys in a build mode   i love the feeling of accomplishing something. i see office workers who produce NOTHING  all day they jsut  push paper and make phone calls  one ex friend (her choice )  of mine all she does is  files and removes staples all day . IO WOULD GO OUT OF MY MIND  my god ( if i followed one ) how can the human mind do that,. so this is a short list of the things im currently building
    shower -- now i know everyone has one  ( if you dont thats why no one is next to you )  at the preivious years of war i have had to  get into a shower that was floppy would b the best discription  the shower base would rock and  the poles that healed the cloth walls  would move arround as you showerd   and the frame would not even hold the weright of  the average persons shower stuff ( IE  soap shampoos towerl etc)
so  i had a few ideas the first was i wanted it solid so it didnt rock back and forth as you were getting clean. i wanted a base that had nicely finnished boards so that  even though you were out side it would feel like home so i got some trex deck material  trex is a composite made of recycled wood fiber and plastic  it wont mildew or rot . that is part of the base the next is  a pan that collects the water and runs it away  from the shower area using a hose attached. the next is important also i wanted a bench or stool  now not important for some but ive broken allot of bones and in the last few years ive taken to bathing in the japaneese style  sitting on a stool and washing then getting in a tub and soaking  its very  emotonaly stabilizing.  so you see a stool or in this  case a bench  is important . next i wanted it to be larger  well there are multiple reasons for that one is its nice to be able to stand under the warm water and stretch out . the other reason is well more to the  thing is istn it nice to have company over  and i think thats a very important thing  other wise how do you get that one spot you jsut cant reach. wo the shower size has been greatly increased from 24 X24  to   48 X48   thats 4 foot by 4 foot for those math defficient.
     cooking area-- well that for me is a real important thing as i am a daibetic and the first time i went to war turned out to go very badly  i went low suggar and i generaly was in a bad way most of the trip and 2 weeks on sandwiches and  packs of crackers just didnt cut it . so last year i bult myself a small kitchen asn man did it ever make a difference.  i was full and things jsut went smother when im fed right  now i saw now much nicer jsut that one thing did and i was hooked. so this year im pulling out the stops last year i had jsut 3 coolers a chuck box and a 2 burner stove. this year ive ripped out a full hieght refirgerator out of an RV and i will ahve a refigerator runjning on propaine. as for cooking surfaces i still have the 2 burner stove  but now i have mounted it semi permenently in a stainless counter top and mounted it to a wood case that also holds the refigerator   and propaine tanks   i havent built it yet but this year i will also have a dish washing station made form a stainless steel sink ( 2 basin ) but i havent worked that all out yet  the next big thing i have made is i built an oven  i took burnuer units from a grill and ahve mounted them inside a 30 gallon drum  ive cut a hole in it so that it has a door and put a hinge on it so breads and meats can be put inside. im currently looking for a thermometer that can be mounted to a hot surface and check the air temp inside the oven the problem ive found is the digital ones  will melt and or their wires will  that lead to the sensor. so ill work on that for a while. i have as of today built a rack that holds it at about 35 inches off the gorund about the same as a kitchen counter. i shold mention that all the things im building have 2 basic things in common they all have to fit into the vardo i built last year of be aber to be carried in nothing bigger than a vw ( since thats all i drive ) ( last year was a vw convertible )
       cart - now this may seem easy but i wanted a cart that  was light weight  folded into a small space  and was cheap to build   now the reason i need one is that you have to go get any ice firewood and supplies from a pretty major distance. well the cart design is form one i saw last year its a single axle maed entirely out of sheet ply wood  adn would be capable of houling a prerson if it had to. well i stumbled accross an axle from the front of a parts puller bicycle  that had a large basket on it at one time a long time ago. i scetched out a small cart kind of mid evil and i cut the wood out  now when assembled it will haoul arround 400lbs and have rubber tires   when broken down it will fit in the average trunk of a sedan   but it will be a stack of wood about 3 1/2 inches  by 4 foot  by 3 foot  plus the wheels but nothing i can do about that.  so now i can bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan
      the vardo- now i didnt meantion this before but last year i started building a vardo  ( gypsy wagon )  now it was great last year but it wasnt finnished  i didnt do andy trim or creature comrforts  this year ive expanded the bed from twin to full  and this year ive added cabinets  i hope to have a sitting area in it before war but i dont know  the other mods  im doing are things like trim and better doors the doors i used last year were home doors for a closet they were cheap and did well in the short term. so this year i want frosted glass pannels and solid doors for the lower half . the next thing has changed drasticlay in the last week. i originaly wanted carved moldings on the edges but after trying to fit one it broke so im going with oak trim that will be rough cut and painted to go withthe style or the vardo the next thing i have modifyed is the tounge of the vardo( trailer) is now removeable so i can have easier time getting in and out of the vardo ive also made a step. the nest is a extra support sysltem for the removable fabric  i haver put a liner of finnished material inside ( cotton with a pattern ) adn for the support ive added 2 more bows of old fiberglass tent poles   i set the vardo up a few weeks ago now and have ahd a few storms and its doing well ( very well) so thats going well. one modification also bieng made is the length of the toung and that im puting a holder for th erefigerator console built into the tounge of the trailer
  the tent - well that didnt exsist last year and it has gone though major changes  at first it was jsut a canopy to put the kitchen under
now it has become a mini inner vagoabond ( a local pensic resturant ) well i wanted someplace warm and dry to hide  and then i saw  a website that had a tent rental and i was hooked  heres their site henpartythemes.co.uk/ this is the one www.arabiantents.com/ well i started calling it the bad tent after a conversation last year at war that the ladies were upset that there werent enought men so thy wanted to start a  tent and stock it with availible men. and call it the BAD TENT  taken from a mesage bord thread title. well that has now beconme the as you like it tent  quilibet tentorium  (quis umquam vos amo tentorium) it was a name   the girl im dating  and i came up with on one of our long phone calls  so thats the new name  and i am going with it .

so im going to post more later right now im tired of typing so im quitting you will have to check back to see waht crazy things im typing next
