All the more reason to steer clear!

Re: Top Five of Picketts Mill

haha. Well, to be technical, it's a hatchet I'm holding. :tounge_sm

GASP!!!
Okay, let me rephrase what I was typed earlier...I heard a psychologist says once that when you see a woman with a hatchet...either she means buisiness or your dead!:D
So I have to ask Anna, who got on your bad side.:confused_

I'm with Chris on this one... a hammer is merely a bit of blunt force trauma - a hatchet can cleave you in twain. Fear the hatchet.

Hmm, so there were two pioneer platoons at the event?

Re: Top Five of Picketts Mill

Good thing I didn't get a hold of their's with that file, huh, Andy? We could really be in for it!

(Note to self.... Don't piss off women when they have anything in their hands... hatchets, hammers, shoes, an apple... you'll learn the hard way.:wink_smil)

Re: Top Five of Picketts Mill

I finally got to the bottom of one of my top 5 "low-lights" from Picketts Mill. Namely, the revolting smell of the Bradford Pear trees as we were driving in.



These had a "unique" smell to them... not very pleasing, in fact, a little disconcerting.

HA-HA Paul,

You're crazy! I can still picture your facial expression when talking about it!

If she's got a hammer; get a helmet.

If she's got a hatchet; get a shield.

I usually don't worry about the weapon, it's the look in the eyes that tells me to run.

I thought he was just smelling his hand?

Mr. Ewing... this ain't a medieval fest or a SCA event. :p

Paul, the smell of Bradford pear trees is not so bad, compared to the damage the berries will do to any vehicles that spend much time beneath them!! They will ruin paint!

Re: Top Five of Picketts Mill

I'd like to thank add my thanks Steve Acker, Terry Sorchy, and the staff of Co E. Events are made good by leadership. THANKS GUYS!

Golly!, there were more than five and I dunno if I can prioritize them, so here they be...

Upon selection for canteen duty I was asking around for canteens. I didn’t realize the “private” sitting in front of me was actually the commander. Horrified for not having employed any formalities, I wanted to run away.

Fighting off the Reb attack shirtless. The interesting mix of feeling quite naked and very angry at the Rebel audacity of attacking our works.

Hearing the cacophony of yelling & screaming, chopping of wood, crackle of marching through woods, and constant gunfire was down right exciting.

Getting hung up in a thicket in the final advance. I was off my feet suspended in it twice. It wouldn’t have been very nice to get shot hanging in mid air.

In that same thicket, looking around to see no one but me and the Lt. The feeling of being all alone and quite helpless as we had no idea where to go.

My apologies for my unsigned post. I got excited about sending in and forgot to activate my signature pref.
To be sure this time.
I am, most respectfully, Josh Fieldhouse
