I'm baaaaaack!!!!!!!!

Har, de har, har har.

 

Finished a great meal to find four preplans waiting. Just under 1300 miles worth by Friday night. Starts with grabbing an empty and picking up at Sam's in Greenfield.

On it.

 

Not really an eBay fan when it comes to something like this; same reason I don't order a BubbaStik on line. Some things you gotta feeeeeeeeel in your own hands to know it's right. I'll find the right cane for me somewhere soon. Will post pics when I do.

 

Need a good fighting cane! Sturdy, stout, good and hefty, and a proper crook. (Just described myself, I think!)

 

Cane=hip height, with a hook for a handle and usually a rubber tip. Staff=straight, minimum height equal to eyebrows (eyebrow staff) or 8 feet (Dragon pole) or if you like Japanese, 3-4.5 feet (Jo staff, but that is used with flowing circular "soft" defensive motions combined with thrusting movements more akin to a sword technique than staff--similar to cane technique but still no hook). Also, you can't carry a staff around without being questioned in some places. I have a trick knee, so I have a legitimate reason to carry/use a cane (makes it easier when it bugs me).

A staff I can get anywhere. A proper wooden hook handled cane I can only seem to find on line so far. Haven't gotten to an antique shop yet, though.
