Not WHINE COUNTRY!!!!

Hello everyone, from the Central Coast of California, where, for the moment, we can still own swords.... No high capacity sword, though...

As it stands I own three swords:

A Cold Steel Marine Corps NCO saber. I earned it, I figured I ought to own one, but I wanted something as usable as possible.

A custom made D2 sword my Belgian friend Bart Weijs made for me so long ago I forgot I had it until last night....

Lastly, on it's way due to a trade deal I made for my Last Legend Katana, an Arms and Armor Black Prince. Looking forward to that!

Anyone else here in wine country? When I am not drinking (on those rare occasions) it might be nice to talk swords with local folks.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT
