Looks like I won't be posting it. I posted a joke that got deleted because it was suggestive and was reminded that this was a family forum (Not that I'm dogging the moderator that deleted it; They were just going by the guidelines that the Admin set). This story spans a coupla hundred pages and has some off-color moments in it.
I'd hate to have almost 20 years of writing deleted due to an off-color moment, and I really don't feel like re-writing it, so its probably just best not to post it

Once again no worries.
I got a notion last night andpulled out the archery equipment. My bow and the arrows have been in storage for the better part of a year. I stored both of them in big sections of PVC pipe. I strung the bow, grabbed a few arrows, and picked up a chrony and went outside before thewind picked up too bad here. I flung a few arrows at 30 yards, finding I can still put them in a fist sized target at that range. Then, I set the Chrony up and fired a coupla sticks through it. the speeds were 287, 281 and 289 respectively.
Gosh I love this bow
I went back inside and put all the gear away, and when I was looking in the corner where there was another PVC pipe. I had forgotten all about it. i pulled it out and opened her up to reveal my Paul Chen BaGua sword. A friend of mine had it made for me in trade for an authentic japanese bow from the late 19th century that I had picked up in Okinawa. I pulled the blade out of the scabbard and it sung coming out as usual. I wiped it down and put a thin coat of oil onit, and put it away.
I guess I was reflecting on a simpler time, where the ethics of man and the quality of good steel still meant something.
Oh well, back to reality ;D
