He was always hoping that the wimminfolk would want chain mail bikinis, and heā€™d have to fit it on them personally. Youā€™ll have to ask him if he ever crossed paths with the late Kenny Boice or Boyce \ ------ he was a smith in the F&I War before he decided to make it a real job and went SCA. He was one of the class mail-makers and taught a lot of others thew craft. ---

> [@VunderBob](#): > > Flaming codpieces. BAND NAME!! Yeah, I know \*\*kopek \*\*sorta beat me to it, but I had to say it anyway! šŸ˜› Back from getting 2 more quarts of paint so \*\*FCD \*\*can finish his bike. Then we went to Famous Daveā€™s for lunch. There was some sort of event - LOTS of ladies in the dining room, and I kinda guess it was a group outing. Service was a little slow but weā€™re fed enough that I wonā€™t be making supper. I just walked around and took pics of some of my gardens - visible on my FB page to all who are interested. I think tomorrow Iā€™ll mulch. The rest of today, Iā€™m vegging. Or knitting. Havenā€™t decided yet. ---
