After action report: Goat skin works!

[Anonymous]

Coming back tonight from the monthly meeting of Legio XXX, I got caught in a few downpours. Usually this wouldn't be worthy of note, but this time I had my scutum with me and the only way I can transport it in my Porsche Boxster S, is to leave the top down. The rain wasn't an issue for me personally, so long as I was able to maintain a suffient speed on the highway with the windows up, I really didn't get wet. I was worried about my scutum though. As I drove, looking in the rear view mirror I could see water droplets beading on the goat skin cover. After I got home I removed the cover and found that the shield was fine. The oiled goat skin did a fine job of protecting the wooden shield from the rain.<br>

While I'm at it, Matt, did you manage to finish the balista and test fire it? <p></p><i></i>
