First time Therrie's had ANY dialogue that I can think of....even in the gallery stuff.

At the Olympics....US men's foil team beats Germany to make it to the semis. I know one of the competitors....remember him as a middle-schooler in our local scholastic league...and have done armory work for his father, who owns the club he started out in. He was subbed out after his first bout in th...

Just got hired to work my first national fencing event since 2015!

Now I just have to book my flight to Salt Lake City.

Well crap....the sale of my father's house SHOULD have closed tomorrow, but the buyers pulled out...the wife saying that it was too long of a drive to college for her sons. 22 miles isn't really a long drive in San Diego, but traffic on the 8 from Alpine to San Diego State and back IS awful during t...

My father's house finally sold and is in escrow! We may be able to buy a larger place and move out of our 1 bed apartent now!

Edit....nope....sale fell through (see sad rant thread)

Just recovered from working the first large regional fencing event I've done in several years. We took over the 3rd floor ballrooms at the Anaheim Convo Center (and with all the spaces open, you could legit play a football game in there...it's freaking HUGE). 4 armorers for 1500-ish competitors. Set...

Be interesting to pair that ship with the William B Porter.

Pity they were in different Navies.

Oh lord....

"Do you see torpedo boats??"

Ha ha the fool. Romulus fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia. Followed closely by "Never sail with the Kamchatka." (and if you don't know the ship in question... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCrAQFBUFlU Dear GOD, what a...

Well played, Kat....NOW RUN LIKE HELL!!

Dun dun duuuuuunnnnnn!!

Fallout from this...Kat is in real danger and Eric comes to the defense/rescue....FINALLY realizing actual feelings for Kat.

Hopefully.

Some of my sabre students from the old club have arranged to start practicing with me once I get the space rental worked out (probably 2 weeks off). Glad I was able to set something up for them, because in one case, the new club scheduling wasn't working for her...I'm a bit more flexible. Also, sale...

The owner of the fencing club I might be moving my sales/armory biz to (see my post in the rant thread) telling me today that not only did SHE want me, one of her coaches said "YES" to the idea of me coming on board before she even finished asking him about it! And I don't even know him th...

Leave them your contact information and a (high) price list for common repairs you think are beyond them... while informing them that payment for needed materials will be received BEFORE the work is done. Because it sounds like the owners are trying to turn it from a pays-its-own-way hobby to a cas...

Had to leave the only fencing club I've ever belonged to after 25 years. We're moving to a smaller space and there's no room for my armory....plus, when the owners straight up tall you that you can;t sell gear at the club anymore, then change that to you can sell, but we get 30% of your sales AND an...

Well....now we see exactly how Nibs got her rug...
