I am currently building my garb for Scarby this year and as it is my first to year to attend in garb, I am in need of someone who can help with leather good.  (Will purchase)  If anyone who is within  reasonable distance and price can help it is much appreciated.  I can supple the measurements needed and anyother knowledge is helpful.  I need a forearm cuff, single and for the right arm.  Also in need of a sporran.  Basic in design.  Thanks to anyone for the help.

Well once again I must appoligise for it being so long since my last visit to The Shire.  Though this time I must admit the circumstances have been, for lack of a better word,  earth shaking.  Over the last month or so I have been suffering severe headaches.  I thought it migranes.  Then in the last week of it, I got massive fever, and body trembling.  I was rushed to the emergency room and test for Spinal Meningheitus.  I cant spell.  Sorry.  Anyhow to my relief it was negitive.  So the docs diagosed it as a sinus infection, and sent me on my way.  After a week and no better, infact I was considerably worse.  I was yet again rushed back and had the same series of tests done.  Only this time  the docs found the cause.  It was and infection, but it had set into the brain.  The cause for the headaches.  After all the test and medication the doctor told me that had it gone another week it would have been fatal.  Ok so I survived that.  Then not less than a week, out of the blue.  Kim (my wife) tells me she doesnt want to be married anymore.  So now Im divorced  and have moved out of the house.  I had to take on a second job to make it.  I do have an apartment.  There is one good thing.  Im just taking it one day at a time.  What doesnt kills you only makes you stronger.  Im surprised I dont have an S on my chest.

It has been a while since I posted.  I trust that everyone had a great holiday and a good start to a new year.  We finally got into our new home.  Booya!  Take care to all of you.

I stand with my brohters and sisters in arms.

Knights of the Olde Code, we make it ours.

Take it up, I encourage you.

Make a stand, brave and true.

In a world that seeks false gain.

Where tyranni and prejudice seem to reign.

Where loyalty can be bought or sold.

I humbly ask is there no hope?

Yes there is as Knights we are the last in a dieing breed.

A clash of steel, a heart of will, and what it means to bleed.

We forge the way with the Olde Code as our guide.

To train the new.

And honor those who have died.

We are Knights of Olde in modern day.

It is up to us to show the way.

As I stand before these hallowed halls.

Of warriors gone by and battles faught.

I am in reverence of the history found within.

A warrior's code, a will to win.

Life or death are the choices made.

Live by honor, or die by the blade.

These halls are sancturary, a place of rest.

To study the fallen, to emulate the best.

Throughout the years I will stand.

Broken bones, calloused hands.

Over the years I will grow.

Trial and error, friend or foe.

My life will reflect a warrior's call.

So inscribe my name, among the warriors of this hallowed hall.
