happyNow Playing: Hot August Nights, or something like that.
Well here it is August first. There have been few blog posts for a while now, due to my schedule and the loss of my folks. But that should change here in the short term. For the most part August is pretty slow for me. So, I should be able to get some work done in the shop this month. And add to that the breaking heat wave, maybe I’ll even want to go out to the shop, pretty soon here. So I guess I’ll ramble on for the next few days about my projects and my more reasonable schedule.
A note before I start. These posts will now go on my forge blog and my Live Journal. I am trying Live Journal to see if I reach a broader audience. If that work outs I’ll move all the old blog posts to Live Journal and then link my web page there. But that is a ways off yet. So if you are reading my blog and not my journal, then you should be fine continuing on as you already have.
This month I currently have just three dates on my schedule of events. The first date is tonight, Tuesday August 1st. The first Tuesday night of the month is when S.C. Blades, the hosts of Knife Expo, holds it’s monthly meeting. At tonight’s meeting I’ll be presenting a slide presentation on a brief history of the sword. This is my third presentation to the club. The first two being on historic folding knives and historic fighting knives. You can go to www.scblades.com for more information on the club and the meeting time and location.
On Saturday August 12th at 2:00pm, we will be holding a calibration and remembrance of my parent’s lives. It will be at the EAA Chapter 723 hanger at the Camarillo Airport. We will be having a big screen running slide shows of the places things and people in my parent’s lives, along with refreshments and good company. If you knew my folks and would like to attend, please contact me for more information.
And just last night I was asked to add a third date to my schedule this month. The SCA, Kingdom of Caid will be holding it’s Festival of the Rose, Saturday August 26th. Information on the SCA and the event can be found at www.sca-caid.org . The theme of the day will be A Celebration of Caid's Guilds. So it looks like I will be setting up a display and or demo for the metal workers. If I get some help I’ll take my forge out to do some demos.
Well, that’s enough for one post. Tomorrow I should be posting about projects. Both work currently in progress and pending projects.
