Tartan Jack

At Massacre Island, 2023, we got massacred by & massacred (in turn) bugs that only bit below the knee. If this is an issue at events, this is what the Dauphin Island maintenance folks use. He HIGHLY recommended it. I asked him how he could work here in shorts with the things thar bite below the knee. He went into the maintenance room & pulled this bottle out. “This is what we use & it’s works great. Spray it onto dry skin & let it soak in.” (Edit- whole label shown, as info on it may be interesting to folks- ingredients , company info, etc. He also gave me the bottle as I was thanking him for hosting & helping everyone during the event, while walking to QAR2 to leave. I’m going to try it at events to see how well it works it’s what they use there. I haven’t tried it yet) I suggest we get a CASE before the next event where such bugs should be an issue.

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)
