Tartan Jack

“An army marches on it’s stomach” (Famous military logistics quote, cited to various sources)

Meet people, in person Make new memories Actually sleep all night at an event Arrive there & get home safely All else is gravy

I finally get to meet Stynky! See ya Weds. (Edit: Can’t spell)

Got Corn Need still

I’ll buy it if it’s xl Unless, you wanna just wait & sell it there. I didn’t think about only having 1 shirt until the last few days gathering my stuff. It is short notice … Hahahahaha

Sorry about messages. We’ve had mutiple car issues the last month My 2 oldest were in wrecks. 1 car was totalled & we had to buy another (car shopping SUCKS right now!) Had to teach him to drive stick … which he did good enough to drive it to Campus on Sunday. The other was taken to a shop for appraisal the last 2 days (get from her in Columbia, to Newberry, then picked up in Newberry today & back to Columbia). I’ll be better now …. & can finish a flag project I started over 10 years ago … Tartan Jack’s Tartan Jack

I probably need an xl FOR the Massacre Island event. I only have 1 shirt. 4 days is pushing it for 1 shirt. How wide are your XL ones?

Oh, that means driving back Sunday afternoon, rather than Monday …. I’ll adjust (it’s a 10-13 hour drive & I’m solo)

I’m in for meal plans. I’m also driving, so can bring on any needed supplies- or go get some if needed. Sorry I haven’t been reading planning posts. In the last month we’ve had: 2 wrecks Replaced a car (which involved time looking at cars) Worked full time Sent off 2 kids to college (junior & a freshman) & I’m trying to get me handsewn flag done. Project: Tartan Jack’s Tartan Jack - Skull getting finished now, then need to add the crossed bones (basing design, loosly, on the Stede Bonnet woodcut).

A good source or 4?

-Week-

At one time 182 was an allusion to this movie … (A huge hit, with a sizable cultural impact at the time, which many have forgotten about now.) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turk_182 I’m going to need to make something like this … After I figure out how to store them … My temporary idea us slip-covers over collasible totes (I have 4 Clevermade ones, in 2 different styles)

Cutout image source, 1996

I came across this image on-line & it looks real familiar, like it’s half a page in a kid-oriented pirate history book. I know the cutout is from a 1996 book (see images in the replies), but this version is perplexing me, esp the fact I can’t just pull out the book it’s in.

“Aulde Phartze” ”Aulde Guard” ”Aulde Tymers”

Remember … ? How could we forget?

Cool!

Seems it is only some

Only issue is when I posted from mt selfies folder (phone), they were inverted. The rest were not.

My son today .. (well, this past spring) Was region player of the year.

I wandered off after several of the groups I was involved with (inc Blackjohn’s) fell apart. My son did competitive youth baseball from 2013-2017 (his team won 3 DYB (southern equivalent of little league- & home to many of the old, good youth programs) state titles, coming in 2nd & 3rd twice in the world series. Then … travelball. Now, high school ball & we’ll see the next phase of baseball …. I make my own baseball jerseys- ususlly a custom felt emblem over a blank jersey atop another emblem. Also, joined the 501st Legion as a TIE pilot & gunner. Now, back into pirate stuff, which also leads me back into Scottish stuff (overlapping period)

Peeerty! Nice to see other long-time name too

Holy crap! Pictures in my signature showed up! Added more shock to the signature showing up suddenly (phone internet version- non-mobile)

A certain puritan can provide good oats. His picture is on the label. Wonderful woodcut!
