Well, here's a small "WHOhooooooooo for you and another gratuitous post, pointless and very self indulgent Topic post for me.

Did somebody say gratuitous and post in the same sentence?

Well, now at 6000 posts this is either very good or very sad.
It seems to about a year to add a thousand post. ( Well, more acurately 10 months ).
Anyway, it's now become a " tradition " for me to self-promote or LOUDLY announce at each thousand post .... can't help myself.

I won't have any finger prints left on my two index fingers I use to type with.

I was sure they would be down to stubs by now and you would be training the next fingers on each hand for the task!

There is always P.M. and e-mail.
I also post comments on your posts here if I have anything useful to say ( And sometimes I post anyway if I don't ).
Yeah, I still have the NYHFA site bookmarked and the last time I posted the post didn't " take " as it just wasn't there when I checked later for the futile hoped for reply ...... By the way it was probably a comment about how dead the NYHFA Forum seemed to be.
Appreciate the though Michael Idulsun .... Idolson ..... Edselwhatever Quote: | So much so I forgot how to spell your name. |
Oh, and my training group disbanded leaving me to my own devices looking for training partners .....
( Although I did get to train with Craig Shackleton in Ottawa last Sunday which as fun, I assume you read my post son it. ).

Nothing dramatic except recruiting new members sort of fizzled out and our director was tired of administrating the whole thing after 10 years of doing it. The rental costs of our training salle was probably too much also when the active membership fell under half a dozen.
Constant promotion and p.r. to recruit new members can be a full time job and I can understand that Patrick found it wearying in addition to having classes 4 days a week when things where running smoothly.
Personal issues like moving to a new house and family where also involved but are private matters I shouldn't get into: Nothing special just life and burnout getting in the way.
I'm in contact with a few of my fellow students and with our instructors and in theory we can train in a local Park but with early Sunset and the cold Winter any training will probably be mostly in the Spring or at best early on weekends if the weather cooperates and there is not too much snow to move ...... snowshoe swordsmanship would be bizarre
So as you can imagine I'm not very happy about the situation.
This is sort of off-Topic but since this isn't much of a real Topic a little detour into stuff that is making me sad is sort of O.K.

POSTIEUR or wearing out my Posterior sitting in front of my keyboard for hours every day. Good thing I walk 2 to 5 miles every couple of days and still go to the Gym a few time a week to compensate.
