Oh wow. Why didn’t my #HEMA bubble tell me about https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/01/get-a-fresh-up-close-and-personal-look-at-the-steam-deck-with-hellish-quart/ before?
That’s freakin awesome – for a game!
This is your annual reminder for the 30 for 30 #HEMA swordplay challenge starting tomorrow:

Ich habe die letzten Tage den wöchentlichen #HEMA Podcast von https://www.schwertgefluester.de/ rein gesuchtelt. Der ist wirklich verdammt gut und empfehlenswert. Läuft gut nebenher rein wenn man gerade irgendwas geistloses arbeitet / spielt. Insbesondere die Interviews sind immer sehr charmant.
|Haw drein vnd hurrt [3v] dar |Rausch hin trif oder la farñ When I started this journey of working my way through the Zettel, I expected that I’d have quite a bit to think about with each line and with each verse. What I didn’t expect however, was the impact that each line would have. I exp...
Busy day
It was way to warm today so I hid in the basement for most of the day getting some stuff done. Mostly cleaning up. The place was a mess.
While doing so I cleaned all my swords that were cluttered all over the place 🤓 Other gear was also in dire need of training. My fencing vest was probably occupied by a cat for a long time and used as a nest. Tried it on after months and all the training pays off. It fits again – breathing included 🤺

While clearing my workbench I found a cable drum waiting for a new plug. Later I found replacement plugs so I got that finally fixed too 😀

I also found this little treasure of 19 FFP2 masks filled in 2009. Lucky me, eh? Feeling very rich now 😀

Kids were also around most of the time and had a lot of fun with various training tools. Don’t get it wrong, we’re not particular athletic here. Stuff just piles up.
Busy day.
TIL: Wales is so very backwater that they don’t seem to know about #LARP (or #HEMA or #SCA or Boffer Wars or…). Some dude wearing obvious fantasy gear and a clear as daylight _FOAM_ stick gets jumped at gunpoint by police:

Hint: It’s not even a “fake sword” or a trainer (waster). It’s a _toy_.

I can relate btw. We did “train” with our toys in the park a decade ago already and police was curious but polite.
Later even with blunt steel.
They never jumped us at gunpoint.
Some Pell Training
Did some #pell training today. Nothing fancy. Mostly shaking the dust off the new pell.
Refurbished My Pell

Some weeks ago I managed to kill my old #pell for good. I never expected it to hold that long at all when I built it back in 2016. To be fair I slacked off a lot over the last year but thanks to recent events forcing everyone to stay at home I stepped up my #training again.
Don’t train alone, it only embeds your errors.
Vesimir, The Witcher 3
Well, Vesimir is right, but that choice do we have? So I spent the late afternoon refurbishing my fallen #pell.

Luckily there was another beam, that was part of the kitchen wall some years ago (#hausbauquatsch), with the same dimensions. I could even re-use most of the old post.
Some of the old screws were broken and I had to persuade the leftovers with a crowbar (I probably learned this in Half-Life ;))

And that’s it this time. I never came back to adding any sort of dampening mats. Some use carpet or rope. I’ve even seen tires used for this. Somehow I became very fond of flying splinters all over the place though. It’s a very satisfying feeling and I even made a video about this some years ago.
