My fencing club opens again tonight

This will be the first time in about 20 days that I’ll have fenced, and the first time in five months or so that I’ll be using MY OWN EQUIPMENT and not some smelly club jacket and no plastron and dubious body cords and too-small gloves and weapons with dumbass grips.
